Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) called some of his colleaguesā quickness to blame Israel for the hospital blast in Gaza ādisturbingā in a statement Wednesday.
āItās 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.

Man, Iām not going to get into a tit for tat with you. Hamas has blood on their hands. That doesnāt mean Iām going to pretend Israel doesnāt.
Iām in my 50ās; this is at least the third or fourth time I can remember having the reaction of āWow, Israel gives no shits who they hurtā during an event like this.
How about those illegal settlements which are a 24/7/365 provocation?
Hamas isnāt innocent, but Israel damn sure isnāt either.
This is not a rebuttal to anything Iāve said.
Read what I quoted from your comment, and tell me which of the links I posted supports it.
The rest is just because I had my dander up at the continuous implication from some that weāre supposed to support Israel uncritically.
Endeavoring to minimize civilian casualties does not mean there will not be civilian casualties.
The argument that Israel is aiming for civilian casualties is nonsensical.
So you didnāt read the articles or you claim they are false?
Edited to add - I know the cartoon inserted was from a previous time we were all shaking our head at Israel, but thatās exactly what it looks like overall.
Edited again to say - at best they are giving lip service to watching out for civilians but taking no care to actually do so. I reject the premise that this would have been a proportional response even if I believed they actually were trying not to hit them. I donāt think the folks calling the shots care whatsoever about civilians being on the other end.
I also think they havenāt considered what actions belong in the āGuaranteedā category when considering actions that are 100% going to create additional generations who feel they have a legitimate reason for future acts of violence against Israel.
