Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has rebuffed calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, comparing the conflict between Israel and Hamas to the conflict between the United States and Japan in World War II.

The Republican senator stated the numerous atrocities Hama carried out during its attack on Israel on Oct. 7, including attacking women and children, and wondered why people are calling for a ceasefire. Graham claimed that a person would have gotten "run out of town" if they had suggested a ceasefire between the U.S. and Japan in the weeks after the Pearl Harbor bombing.

"Do what you need to do, my friends in Israel," Graham said. "Try to lessen civilian casualties. I know you will. But here's the problem: If Adolf Hitler were in an apartment complex during World War II, would we have bombed the apartment complex? We used nuclear weapons against two Japanese cities."

Graham added that he believes destroying Hamas is "nonnegotiable" but conceded that how Hamas is destroyed is negotiable. He also said "God help us" if Hamas is still standing.

The South Carolina lawmaker also stated he believes that the attacks in the Middle East would not be happening if former President Donald Trump were still in the White House "because they were afraid of him." He added that the crisis would "end pretty quickly" in the hypothetical scenario that Trump became president "tomorrow."

On Sunday, Graham said that the public can expect funding for Israel, along with funding for Ukraine and securing the southern border, to be provided in a three-in-one bill. He stressed securing the border as necessary, as the U.S. is living "on borrowed time" regarding the situation.

Graham also stated that the U.S. should not withhold funding from Ukraine going forward, stating that Russian President Vladimir Putin should not "get away" with attacking Ukraine, as China attacking Taiwan could occur if the U.S. ceases support.
