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.

    You said quote “you are making things up” and then you quoted two statements that I made

    Did I make it up or not?

    Either they are hitting civilian areas or they are not. If you say that they aren’t, and I say that they are… Only one of us is making a factual statement. All the evidence points to -> Yes, they are bombing civilian areas.

    Maybe there’s a justification. Maybe the thousands of buildings they’ve bombed all have Hamas weapons caches. But has it happened? Yes. End of story, I’m not making it up.

        Of course not. Every single mosque, university, hospital, residential building, refugee camp, and border crossing the IDF has bombed must have had some sort of Hamas presence. Hamas is very well integrated into Gaza, they’re in over 10,000 buildings.

            Doesn’t take much thought to see what’s happening here. There’s a reason virtually the entire world outside of US + western Europe is appalled.

      When I quote statements you make, they are examples of shit you make up, yes.
