Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) called some of his colleaguesā€™ quickness to blame Israel for the hospital blast in Gaza ā€œdisturbingā€ in a statement Wednesday.

ā€œItā€™s truly disturbing that Members of Congress rushed to blame Israel for the hospital tragedy in Gaza,ā€ Fetterman said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

    ā€œWho would take the word of a group that just massacred innocent Israeli civilians over our key ally?ā€ he added.

    Anyone who knows the history of our ā€˜key allyā€™.

      Well, thatā€™s like taking the word of al-Qaeda at face value because you know the history of the United States.

        Youā€™re right, Israel would never knowingly harm innocent Palestinians, thank you for the correction.

            ā€œDonā€™t sass meā€, eh? You their dad or something?

            And thatā€™s a mighty bold claim youā€™ve made there. Theyā€™re cheering on Hamas, are they? Mind linking the parts that say that? Cuz all Iā€™m seeing is skepticism of Israel. Hardly the same thing. Donā€™t make me bust out the definition of ā€œfalse dichotomyā€, sport.
