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.

      Here is Netanyahu at his wedding congratulating him and making the statement: “he works for me”

      At this point, can you admit I wasn’t telling “straight up lies”? Has providing sources for my claims given me any credibility? Because you accused me of being a liar, I would like to say

      Anyhow…

      Hamas has rockets that are powerful. For example, the Iranian supplied onces that go up to 125kg can do much more damage than the picture you sent. A well placed 125kg bomb can topple a building.

      It’s a question of the average. In the last 20 years, Hamas has killed less than 100 Israeli civilians with rockets. They’ve fired thousands of rockets. Most of them are going to be the Qammas ~20kg ones. People get injured but you have to be unlucky to get killed.

      This is what I mean. If Hamas sends out 9 small rockets (which is the majority of their supply) and then 1 big rocket, the more likely outcome is that one of the small ones fail. Simply because there are many more of them. For the damage we saw at the hospital, it would have to be a big one.

        oh this is super misleading. Really. Here is a celeb at a wedding of another celeb. They could even be related but that does not make him part of the government. You can technically say its not lying but your initial bullet points are as much lying as israel has done around these things. You used the term IDF digital spokesman because the guy is at a wedding. So every palestinian that has been at a wedding with hamas or islamic jihad or other terrorist groups is fair game because hey they were at a wedding. Funny thing is if anything sends me to the israel side of whos telling the truth its social media folks like yourself.

          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.
