I reported earlier this week how Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) blasted South Africa for filing a case against Israel for genocide in Gaza when he spoke at a luncheon of the Orthodox Union Advocacy Center.

He told South Africa that they should just "sit this one out" and focus on its own country. Some interpreted that also as calling out South Africa over its own problems with the alleged genocide of white farmers. //

But he had a lot more to say, ripping into the activists, and demanding to know why weren't they asking about the hostage and protesting Hamas' actions?

"They're blocking tunnels, they're blocking roads," Fetterman said. "Why? Why aren’t they protesting, ‘When will we get the hostages back home?’ Why aren’t they protesting Hamas? Why aren't they protesting systemic rape and torture of Israeli women and children?

"I don't get it." //

atrocities committed against Israel, Fetterman said Wednesday, "I have a 12-year-old daughter. If someone did that to my daughter, would you want me to sit down at a table and negotiate with them? Never. I would never ask for Israel to do that as well."

Taking his support for Israel further, Fetterman said the country has the right to fully take on Hamas and noted that every Hamas terrorist that is killed is "one more step" toward peace. //

Recognizing the "blowback" he has received from some members of his party for his support for Israel, Fetterman said, "Great. I welcome the smoke then."
