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.

    Just to be clear, I’m not trying to blame anyone. I’m saying it seems pretty clear that neither side intended to hit the hospital.

      Russia did not intend to blow a civilian plane out of the sky when they first invaded Ukraine either.

      I don’t think Hamas did this intentional but they certainly tried to blame it on Israel.

        Yes, both sides are waging a war in an area densely populated with civilians, and innocent people are dying. Everyone sucks here, as is often the case in war.

          The people who did not start the war are not to blame for the war.

          This is like saying Ukraine should be trading land for peace talks
