This guy is in some ways more hawkish on Israel-Palestine than even some Senate Republicans
Interesting how quickly he went from a hero to turncoat mega-villain in the eyes of the leftist space in a matter of few days. I've even heard some of them say that in hindsight they would have preferred Lamb lol.
Fetterman says many of the protests contain a “germ of antisemitism,” and he’s fully behind Israel. “I support peace and I support a two-state solution. But you know, if the stuff hits the fan, I’m going to lean in on Israel. And that’s exactly what I’ve done.”
“Everyone has the right to defend yourself as a nation,” he said. “But you also have the right, I believe, to go after and eliminate Hamas, or at least to force them to surrender.”
Fetterman adds that neither President Joe Biden nor Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have the power to end the war with Hamas. That, he says, is up to Hamas.
Fetterman’s personal challenges continue at a time when many Republicans have praised him for some of the stands he’s taken.
“I’ve been saying that for years … I really don’t identify myself as progressive. It’s not that I’ve changed but that that word has changed.”
“It’s very clear that in Washington, you got to work together for the right thing. I don’t check and see what letters (are) after someone’s name, whether I can get along with them.”
