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.

    Please show me where I made something up. I believe with near 100% certainty that I made mistakes in that comment. If you see one, please tell me.

      I already called out your most offensive lie in another post.

      For further clarity, this is also deliberately misleading, and is obviously intentional if you’re truly as knowledgeable as you claim

      Israeli military had demanded the hospital evacuate multiple times before the attack on Oct 17

      Israeli military has been hitting hospitals and civilian areas since Oct 17

      Your description of the Afghanistan hospital bombing is similarly misleading.

      Frankly, most of your post is falsehood and conjecture based on falsehood.

        https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/gaza-hospital-blast-what-we-know-about-explosion-2023-10-18/

        The Kuwaiti specialized hospital in Rafah city, in the south of Gaza, said on Oct. 16 it had it had received two Israeli warnings to evacuate but its director said its staff would not leave.

        Israeli military has been hitting hospitals and civilian areas since Oct 17

        Here I made a mistake. It was meant to be Oct 7, the start of the conflict. Here’s a map of all hospitals hit by the IDF from the 7th to the 17th. Just look it up though, they’ve hit universities, hospitals, mosques, etc. They hit a mosque yesterday and killed at least a dozen people - link

        keep 'em coming. again i reiterate i welcome the challenges to what i’m saying and the discussion this can generate. if i am wrong i am wrong, but i’m making a good faith effort here at the truth

          You’re not refuting anything, and there’s no reason to continue to engage. I’ve said my piece. I don’t think you’re being intellectually honest, while pretending you are, and that seems intentionally misleading.

            You said quote “you are making things up” and then you quoted two statements that I made

            Did I make it up or not?

            Either they are hitting civilian areas or they are not. If you say that they aren’t, and I say that they are… Only one of us is making a factual statement. All the evidence points to -> Yes, they are bombing civilian areas.

            Maybe there’s a justification. Maybe the thousands of buildings they’ve bombed all have Hamas weapons caches. But has it happened? Yes. End of story, I’m not making it up.

              When I quote statements you make, they are examples of shit you make up, yes.
