Democrat Senator John Fetterman [D-PA] continues to defy the left wing of his party by maintaining strong support for Israel. Fetterman says the situation in Gaza is a “tragedy”, but also puts the blame on Hamas. “They started this” he told USA Today, and also accused the terrorist group of hiding behind civilian infrastructure in places like hospitals and schools. Fetterman is one of the most progressive Democrats in the Senate but has broken ranks with the left wing by calling blaming Hamas for the conflict, and codemning anti-Israel campus demonstrations for making Jewish studets feel unsafe.
