(Wall Street Journal) Sen. John Fetterman interviewed by Barton Swaim - Walking into Sen. John Fetterman's reception office in the Russell Senate Office Building, I first notice the walls. They are covered with images of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023. Atop each is a red banner reading KIDNAPPED. On one wall are images of those who remain in captivity; on the other are those who've been rescued or returned, alive or otherwise. I knew of Fetterman's unequivocal support for Israel after the Hamas attack. What I hadn't appreciated was the degree to which that support is now central to his political identity. After I enter his office, I mention the walls of the adjoining room. He begins a minor harangue on the outrages perpetrated by the Palestinians. "I've seen that video," he says - meaning the video recordings compiled by the Israeli government of the Oct. 7 murders - "and I can't believe.... Where does that kind of depravity and that hate, where does it come from?" "Even the Nazis, with all their depravity, all their evil, they tried to hide those kinds of atrocities. These people filmed it with their GoPros, and they cheered like they scored a goal. In the videos they call their parents and they're like, 'Hey, I just killed some Jews.' Where does that kind of hatred come from?" "That wasn't just Hamas, either. Let's not ever forget the majority of the Palestinians support what happened." Referring to the lurid ceremonies in which Hamas soldiers release hostages, Fetterman says, "Wow, you're so tough, terrorizing a woman that you've kept in a tunnel for over a year. Like, you're so tough with your s--- rifles parading around. That's why I'm always going to be on the Israeli side. All right? Yeah, print that." Fetterman was the only Democrat to vote for the imposition of sanctions on the International Criminal Court for charging Israeli officials with "war crimes." When the president suggested the U.S. could evacuate, rebuild and repopulate Gaza, Fetterman - virtually alone among Congressional Democrats - declined to express outrage.2025-03-02 00:00:00Full Article
