Sen. John Fetterman Surprises the Left and Right With Unapologetic Support for Israel
“Fetterman has consistently been a defender of Israel during its conflict with Hamas.”
Democrats are tearing themselves apart over Israel. Their far left base and members of the squad are clearly anti-Israel while Biden and other Democrats are trying to walk a fine line on the issue.
Meanwhile, Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania is showing unwavering support for Israel, and he doesn’t care who knows it. How refreshing.
The Hill reports:
Fetterman waves Israeli flag at protesters demanding cease-fire
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) appeared to wave an Israeli flag at protestors demanding a cease-fire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
“Jackass @JohnFetterman saw veterans getting arrested and laughed,” the veterans against war group About Face posted Thursday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, alongside a video of what appeared to be the Pennsylvania senator walking by a group of protestors and waving an Israeli flag.
“We asked to see @SenGillibrand. We were put in cuffs. We need leaders who listen to veterans demanding a #CeaseFireNow,” the post continued.
The group was arrested for protesting in New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s (D) office in the Capitol.
Fetterman has consistently been a defender of Israel during its conflict with Hamas. He called out some of his Democratic colleagues’ speed to blame Israel for a hospital blast last month.
“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.
“Who would take the word of a group that just massacred innocent Israeli civilians over our key ally?” he added.
It’s really surprising.

An anti-Israel activist asks @SenFettermanPA why he hasn't called for an Israel-Hamas ceasefire, to which he responds, "I think you should be protesting Hamas…. until we get the hostages back."pic.twitter.com/K1Mf8qXxs7

A year ago I wasn't even sure Fetterman was conscious and now he's the conscience of his party. https://t.co/bGDbcY7nLP

Israel National News has more:
Senator John Fetterman announces the posters will stay up until every single hostage is returned home.
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has put up posters of the Israelis who were abducted by Hamas to the Gaza Strip in his front office.
“In my front office I have displayed the posters of the innocent Israelis kidnapped by Hamas,” Fetterman wrote on X on Tuesday, alongside a video showing the display.
He vowed, “They will stay up until every single person is safely returned home.”

Jewish people are afraid to walk on our streets here in a America.
What a damn disgrace.
Where are the Democrats (except Sen Fetterman, who has brought great credit on himself)?

Fetterman isn’t just pro-Israel.
He’s willing to actively spit in the face of terrorism supporters.
That deserves respect. https://t.co/txRvDPAvkm

The left is outraged by this, naturally.
This is sociopathic behavior by Fetterman. Truly vile. https://t.co/DkcfDip1xx

Very surprising, but very welcome. Maybe, as he continues to recover, something will have switched inside. Wishful thinking on a Saturday. But he surely has his moral compass working here.
Fetterman is the name of the doctor who created him
I was thinking that having had the giant parasite on his neck excised, it could have taken with it most of his Democrat inclinations.
Well, that’s the end of his political career. Watch for “is Fetterman mentally competent” stories on CNN, MSNBC, on thr NYT, WAPO, etc.
Fetterman’s to do list:
Switch parties from Democrat to Republican
Fire all Democrats on my staff
Hire all new staff
Order MAGA hat
Throw away MAGA hat and order helmet
As a Pennsylvanian I wouldn’t be sure if he thought he was waving a Palestinian flag or waving it to burn it.
He’s Jewish
Don’t think so.
I read he was
Actually read he was Jewish, grandparents,
Then atheist, then Christian
He is apparently whatever he wants to be
As he should be able to do.
Wouldn’t have saved him in Germany.
Not going to fault him for that. He grew up as he did and his ancesters had not much to say about it.
And your point is ….? Jewish, Catholic, Klingon, even Muslim, you need to call out evil and defend those struggling to eradicate it. If you really believe this is a Jewish issue you are a huge part of the problem.
Fettermans handlers, esp his social media team, have been way smarter than he is…although that isn’t saying much.
Love the “stubborness” he has about this…
A democrat that I can like! He called for Menendez to resign. No other dems did that.
He did. I think he might be the new Manchin of the Dems. Left for sure but having some good points and positions.
Is his brain healing? And did his stroke re-wire it?
Never thought I’d be onboard with the disaster that is Fetterman but he is right on the money with this one. Hat’s off and all props to Fetterman for being what is seeming to be a lonely light of morality in his party
Quite the conundrum, isn’t it? If we cheer Fetterman, the left denounces him as a tool of the right. If we remain silent or lambaste him, we isolate him even more than the Democratic Party already has.
