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.

    Youā€™re not refuting anything, and thereā€™s no reason to continue to engage. Iā€™ve said my piece. I donā€™t think youā€™re being intellectually honest, while pretending you are, and that seems intentionally misleading.

      You said quote ā€œyou are making things upā€ 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 arenā€™t, and I say that they areā€¦ Only one of us is making a factual statement. All the evidence points to -> Yes, they are bombing civilian areas.

      Maybe thereā€™s a justification. Maybe the thousands of buildings theyā€™ve bombed all have Hamas weapons caches. But has it happened? Yes. End of story, Iā€™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, theyā€™re in over 10,000 buildings.

            Then they didnā€™t, now they doā€¦ I donā€™t think youā€™ve given this much thought tbh

              Doesnā€™t take much thought to see whatā€™s happening here. Thereā€™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.
