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.
More that I wouldn’t regard our ‘key ally’ as particularly trustworthy. If Pakistan and the Taliban contradict each other, I’m not likely to take the word of either as gospel.
No reason to take Israel or the IDF at their word, though.
Here is the evidence that’s currently publicly available: https://www.npr.org/2023/10/18/1206795861/heres-the-available-evidence-of-what-happened-at-al-ahli-arab-hospital-in-gaza
Yeah, I lean towards a Hamas-aligned misfire at this point, but I don’t regard skepticism of the Israeli claim as inherently unreasonable.
Of course it’s not unreasonable. Just as criticism of the United States after 9/11 wasn’t unreasonable.
What I find troubling are people who immediately jump to conclusions without the slightest bit of evidence, because they’ve already decided that one team is always right and the other team is always wrong.
I’ve decided that both sides lie and I don’t believe a word either says.
Kind of like djt and ksa denying involvement with dismemberment and murder of Kashoggi.
this. its like I don’t trust either group so lets see if there is any actual evidence which I think is what fetterman is actually saying. I love that guy.
