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.

    He works for the Israeli Government. Netanyahu is his direct boss. His job is to produce online content that shows the Israeli government in a positive light.

    It is not a celeb meeting a celeb at a wedding. When I get home I’ll find my bookmark and send you. I’m not trying to lie or mislead. You are very skeptical of me - which you should be because everybody is full of shit these days

    But this guy is Israeli government employee. My theory is that he was told to send that at a specific time (he even had a little “too bad so sad we had to kill a few civilians because Hamas” ready to go), but then Israelis realized the world was about to freak out about the hospital so they quickly tried to cover up… but that’s pure speculation without any basis in evidence

    I just think because he posted it so quick and there was no reuters article.

      ok yeah. show me something more definitive on his employment and that will help a lot. It can’t be from a web journal where their reporting all goes one way though. Israeli government website, npt, bbc, ruiters or something.
