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.

    “Who would take the word of a group that just massacred innocent Israeli civilians over our key ally?” he added.

    Anyone who knows the history of our ‘key ally’.

        You’re right, Israel would never knowingly harm innocent Palestinians, thank you for the correction.

            “Don’t sass me”, eh? You their dad or something?

            And that’s a mighty bold claim you’ve made there. They’re cheering on Hamas, are they? Mind linking the parts that say that? Cuz all I’m seeing is skepticism of Israel. Hardly the same thing. Don’t make me bust out the definition of “false dichotomy”, sport.
