Fetterman is a Democrat voice of reason on Israel

 DC Daily Journal:

...

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.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
