US Senator Draws Parallel Between Israel-Hamas Conflict and World War II, Proposes Extreme Measures for Gaza

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has sparked controversy with his comments comparing the Israel-Hamas conflict to World War II and advocating for Israel to be given the bombs they need to end the war. Graham, a staunch supporter of Israel, criticized President Joe Biden for pausing the delivery of 3000 heavy bombs to Israel.

During an interview on NBC News, Graham defended the use of nuclear bombs on Japan during World War II, stating that it was the right decision” to end the war. He argued that Israel should be given the bombs they need” to ensure their survival as a Jewish state.

Graham’s comments have drawn criticism for their controversial nature, with many questioning the morality of advocating for the use of nuclear weapons in a modern conflict. He also blamed Hamas for civilian casualties, accusing the group of using civilians as human shields.

President Biden’s decision to pause the delivery of heavy bombs to Israel and his threat to withhold more weapons in the event of a major operation in Rafah have added to the tensions surrounding the conflict. The move comes amid widespread protests in the US and growing frustration with the war from some Democrats and the left flank.

The Israel-Hamas conflict continues to escalate, with no clear end in sight. Graham’s comments have added fuel to the fire, sparking a debate on the ethics of using extreme measures in warfare.
