Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania continued the Democrats’ piling on against Palestinians this past Sunday.
Fetterman asserted to CNN’s Manu Raju: “There’s no ethnic cleansing. It’s not a genocide. This is a just war.”
Asked by Raju if Israel was using “starvation as a weapon,” he claimed: “No. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Israel is not deliberately starving people, absolutely.”
He added: “Those conditions are miserable there. And it is hell on earth. Why? Some people blame Israel for that? I blame Hamas and Iran for that thing.”
This continues most Democrats’ failure to recognize the Gaza genocide, even walking back the genocide assertion in the recent case of Congresswoman Katherine Clark, a top leader in the House of Representatives.
That and being in complete lock step on Israel. Good god, Senator wyden just voted to send more assault rifles to Israel to be handed out to settlers in the West Bank. And he is one of the better ones.
If you want a an issue too differentiate between fetterman and the rest of the democrats, this is not it.
If aiding genocide is our “lesser evil,” we don’t have a lesser evil.
