Fetterman is a Democrat voice of reason on Israel
...
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) expressed his dissatisfaction with President Joe Biden’s ambiguous position on the Israel–Hamas war during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday.
Fetterman accused Biden of trying to balance “both sides” of the conflict, a stance he believes undermines the United States’ support for its crucial ally, Israel.
Anchor Jake Tapper highlighted Fetterman’s strong, unwavering support for Israel, which has drawn both praise and criticism.
“You’ve become famous or infamous, depending on your point of view, for your stalwart support of Israel since the October 7 attacks,” Tapper noted.
He then referenced the recent recovery of another hostage’s body by Israel and the U.S. assessment that Israel has enough troops to launch a full-scale ground operation in Rafah.
This is despite President Biden’s warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that such an invasion would cross a red line.
Fetterman did not mince words in his response. “I think it’d be unfortunate if it’s being infamous to be supporting Israel. I’ve been very supportive of Israel from the beginning,” he said. “It’s important that America stands with our very, very critical ally.”
Fetterman criticized Hamas for initiating the conflict and highlighted their rejection of a recent ceasefire deal.
“Hamas is what started this. They could surrender and send every one of the hostages back, and it could all end right now. They rejected the recent ceasefire deal that would have provided six weeks of peace,” he pointed out.
Fetterman emphasized that Hamas’ refusal to compromise only exacerbates the situation.
Regarding Biden’s stance, Fetterman was clear: “I don’t think trying to appease both sides is helpful. It doesn’t convince anyone that we are committed to standing with Israel.”

Too many Democrats have the absurd position that Hamas has a point. They want to give the mass murderers of Jews a role in the Middle East. That is as ridiculous as saying Hitler had a point. Hamas should be destroyed.

“There are a lot of progressives, a lot of people in your party who are mad at you for your strong support of Israel and for your continued condemnations of Hamas. Why do you think that is?” Tapper asked.
Fetterman responded with understanding but stood firm in his position. “I can understand why being a very strong supporter of Israel would upset some people who are pro-Palestinian. That’s fine. It’s reasonable. But I decided to be on the side of Israel,” he asserted.

Fetterman is right and Biden is dead wrong.
