Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania continued the Democrats’ piling on against Palestinians this past Sunday.

Fetterman asserted to CNN’s Manu Raju: “There’s no ethnic cleansing. It’s not a genocide. This is a just war.”

Asked by Raju if Israel was using “starvation as a weapon,” he claimed: “No. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Israel is not deliberately starving people, absolutely.”

He added: “Those conditions are miserable there. And it is hell on earth. Why? Some people blame Israel for that? I blame Hamas and Iran for that thing.”

This continues most Democrats’ failure to recognize the Gaza genocide, even walking back the genocide assertion in the recent case of Congresswoman Katherine Clark, a top leader in the House of Representatives.

    Smotrich and Ben-Gvir are considered monsters unanimously in r/worldnews (which normally has competing views on Gaza).

      World news is tremendously Zionist. They probably do not like those guys because they make the argument that Israel is the good guy and possible to win in any real sense. It will not stop them from trying though, they have the power of the state and government and businesses behind them to crush any dissent so they don’t need truthful arguments apparently. Still fuck those guys at World News
