Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) called some of his colleagues’ quickness to blame Israel for the hospital blast in Gaza “disturbing” in a statement Wednesday.
“It’s truly disturbing that Members of Congress rushed to blame Israel for the hospital tragedy in Gaza,” Fetterman said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
Yeah, I lean towards a Hamas-aligned misfire at this point, but I don’t regard skepticism of the Israeli claim as inherently unreasonable.
Of course it’s not unreasonable. Just as criticism of the United States after 9/11 wasn’t unreasonable.
What I find troubling are people who immediately jump to conclusions without the slightest bit of evidence, because they’ve already decided that one team is always right and the other team is always wrong.
