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.

    Yeah, I lean towards a Hamas-aligned misfire at this point, but I donā€™t regard skepticism of the Israeli claim as inherently unreasonable.

      Of course itā€™s not unreasonable. Just as criticism of the United States after 9/11 wasnā€™t unreasonable.

      What I find troubling are people who immediately jump to conclusions without the slightest bit of evidence, because theyā€™ve already decided that one team is always right and the other team is always wrong.
