Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) called some of his colleagues’ quickness to blame Israel for the hospital blast in Gaza “disturbing” in a statement Wednesday.

“It’s truly disturbing that Members of Congress rushed to blame Israel for the hospital tragedy in Gaza,” Fetterman said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

    And, ah, who were the Palistinians before Islam?

    Gaza was one of the Philistine city-states… you know. Early on, Canaanites- The people that Israelites tried genocide to “come into the promised land”… and who Solomon and David were at war.

    The area has a very long, very ancient history… and that history is part of how we got to the partition plan and the Nakba and all that.

    I don’t have any real answers for solving the violence. I truly wish I did.
