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.

    And it looks more and more like Fetterman is right. That video showing the rocket launch from Gaza arcing back towards the hospital is pretty damning.

    Israel should still be held to account for its oppression and subjugation of Palestine, but it’s important not to forget that Hamas is a brutal terrorist regime that murders and “disappears” Palestinians who speak up against them. Hamas is not Palestine, and the Palestinians deserve better.

      Yeah frankly I’m tired of this rhetoric that you have to either be 100% pro Isreal or 100% pro hamas. It’s possible to condemn Hamas while also condemning the treatment of the Palestinian people at the hands of Israel
