A U.S. Senator Just Endorsed Nuclear War on Civilians

On February 18th, 2026, United States Senator Lindsey Graham sat down with Sky News Arabia. When journalist Hadley Gamble pointed out that Israel had killed children, mothers, and entire families who were not militants, Graham compared it to World War II. Watch this.A sitting United States senator, on camera, on an Arabic language news network, told an Arab audience that flattening a civilian population is acceptable. He invoked the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which killed over 200,000 civilians, as justification. He is not describing these as tragedies of war. He is holding them up as a model.This is not a fringe figure. Lindsey Graham is one of the closest senators to both Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. He has spent decades shaping American foreign policy. And he is openly advocating for the logic of nuclear war against a civilian population.Lindsey Graham is up for reelection this November.
