Michigan U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg suggested that nuclear weapons should be dropped on Gaza, which his office said was a metaphor to "support Israel's swift elimination of Hamas."

In the video, which was independently reviewed by the Free Press, Walberg " who can be heard clearly but is outside the camera's range--was asked at a town hall meeting in Dundee on March 25 whether the U.S. should be spending money on building a temporary port in Gaza to move humanitarian aid into the country, as proposed by President Joe Biden in his State of the Union address this month.

"We shouldn't be spending a dime on humanitarian aid," Walberg said. "It should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Get it over quick."

That would be bad for Jared's beachfront property.

It's sad there is going to be stochastic terrorism against Jews forever.

But hey, Israel voted for Likud just like Gaza votes for Hamas. I don't make the rules.

Great idea. I'm sure Egypt would appreciate the fallout.

Israel has neutron bombs so there won't be any fallout.

Just a million dead bodies, which according to Zionists won't be genocide.

Curiously, how will this type of messaging be made widely available by grassroots to the electorate if there weren't a TikTok?

Why not nuke all the places people are stupidly religious. Put a hole in the holy land.

I used to get all my news about eliminating Jews, Gays, Roma, and other undesirables from the guy on the street corner wearing the smashing Hugo Boss-manufactured uniform.

Idiotic ideas like nuking Gaza, or Trump's idiocy suggesting we nuke Mexican cartels.

There's no shortage of stupidity and idiocy in today's GOP. In fact, it's an epidemic.

That's all about to change. Netanyahu is only PM because of the support of ultra-orthodox Jews, who're exempted from military service (3 yrs active, many years reserve). This has caused resentment on the part of the other 87%.

The Israeli Supreme Court just ordered that stipends to ultra-Orthodox students of yeshivas end.

There were 400 in 1948. Today, they're 13% of Israel's population.

Ultra-Orthodox politicos have vowed to pull their support of Netanyahu if the ban on funds isn't rescinded.

Bennie Gantz's coalition has vowed to pull their support if it is.

Netanyahu is FUBAR'd either way.

Trump also suggested nuking a hurricane.

The Israeli Supreme Court's ruling could dramatically change the course of Israel's government

I'm confident when Israel drafts the Zionist Jews who have vowed to push the Arabs into the sea so they can rebuild Eretz Yisrael, it will help calm things down over there.

In private that suggestion has been uttered by presidents, members of congress, cabinet members, joint chiefs, etc. for decades.

Why so angry GOP? Lol.

White armchair quarterbacking and
wish fulfillment. So utterly
toothless and counterproductive.

I've pretty much come to the opinion that the State of Israel is a boil on the butt of this planet and that none of us are going to sit comfortably, again, until it gets lanced.

Israel demonstrates why Nation Building doesn't work in the 20th century -- at least not when you do it by subjugating the natives.

Israel, since about 1998, especially demonstrates why Nation Building by religious fanatics doesn't work.

Come to Gaza, where the sand is ALWAYS warm. Even at night.

Act now and we'll throw in a free Brazillian power crystal!

"Walberg is an ordained pastor. Ordained as a Baptist, he currently identifies as nondenominational and attends a church affiliated with the Church of the United Brethren in Christ."

Oh another one of those good Christians. Can anyone quote the Bible verse where Jesus recommended mass murder? Wahlberg should be censured by the House for evil comments like that, hopefull the voters will throw this psycho out of Congress in November.

BTW, he's not just evil but he is incredibly stupid too. If Gaza were nuked the fallout will kill more Israelis than Hamas and make "the "Prmised Land" uninhabitable for a very long time.
