"Michigan Congressman Faces Backlash for Suggesting Nuclear Strikes on Gaza"
TL;DR
Republican congressman Tim Walberg of Michigan faced backlash after suggesting that the US should bomb Gaza "like Nagasaki and Hiroshima" instead of providing humanitarian aid, drawing condemnation from progressive groups and the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Walberg also expressed support for similar treatment in Ukraine to defeat Putin's forces quickly. His remarks come amid increasing pressure on President Biden to cut off military aid to Israel, which has hindered the delivery of humanitarian relief in Gaza, despite the US abstaining from a UN vote demanding an immediate ceasefire.
