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.
There’s been an ongoing genocide since the Nakba of 1948 FFS! If you’re going to pretend to not be COMPLETELY ignorant, at least get the most basic facts in order.
There’s your problem right there. They have two primary missions: to eradicate Palestinian people, culture, and territory; and to lie about doing so on purpose.
Amongst many other uses, yes.
That’s because it’s de facto sanctioned by the fascist apartheid regime.
Your source of “their own words” being a deleted Reddit post from 10 days ago? Stellar work, Bob Woodward! 🙄
And guess what? Even if the militant wing of Hamas (as opposed to the civil government of Gaza) DID put bases in or beneath hospitals, it would STILL be a war crime to bomb hospitals.
Just like when they raided a hospital to murder injured (alleged) Hamas fighters.
That was ALSO a war crime even if you’re gullible enough to believe the IOF account of what they were doing and why.
1948 is before 2006
“Ongoing since 1948” includes every time period between now and 1948.
