Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is set to receive Yeshiva University’s highest honor for his service and global leadership, with the university proclaiming him as the “Hero of Israel.”
Fetterman, a staunch supporter of Israel in its war against militant group Hamas, will be awarded the school’s “Presidential Medallion” during the institution’s 93rd annual commencement ceremony Wednesday, the school said in the news release.
“Senator Fetterman is one of the true heroes of our time for his unwavering and courageous commitment to moral clarity, which has fortified our community and been a clarion call for our country,” Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman, the president of Yeshiva University, said in a statement.
The private Orthodox Jewish university’s commencement, which will be held later this week at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York City, will celebrate more than 1,700 graduates. The event is set to be attended by over 5,000 students, families, faculty, alumni and friends, according to the school.
“At this critical moment in Jewish and American history, our commencement exercises mark not just an enormous accomplishment for our students, but also for the global community,” Berman, said. “During this dark period of rampant antisemitism and polarization across college campuses, Yeshiva University students stand out for their academic excellence, character and commitment to service.”
Fetterman’s strong pro-Israel stance has, at times, alienated the left wing of his party, for often publicly voicing his support for the Israeli military’s actions in the Gaza Strip. His unwavering support of Israel has also placed him at odds with Democratic lawmakers in both chambers.

It’s only because he’s a Dim. There’s many more stronger supporters that are Repubs.
“Hero of Israel” seems a bit much. But there is no doubt that Fetterman has done amazing work here. He has not flinched. He has not added any squishy qualifiers.
Fetterman immediately recognized Hamas as the monsters they are. And he immediately recognized Israel’s right to respond as they must.
I’m actually surprised that the Democrat elite haven’t silenced Fetterman yet. Maybe they did send someone to read Fetterman the riot act, and Fetterman through him out a window.
Chuck Schumer will give Fetterman a call.
I’m ashamed. I was a vocal Fetterman critic. Now he has taken a principled stand for Israel despite pushback. There is more to the man than it first appeared. I’m not a fan but credit where credit is due.
Agree. He’s still a democrat but he had to come out of hiding to support Israel, and that will come at a cost.
>> There is more to the man than it first appeared.
Definitely. There’s at least 5 that I’ve seen.
Be interesting if he were a DINO.😁
I’m liking him more and more.
Wish he would change sides.
I agree, He has pleasantly surprised me on a few occasions.
Good for him.
Fetterman showed that he won’t be bullied by wrong headed democrats.
And he threw him out a window too.
I like him more and more too. Probably won’t change sides, but a change of clothes would be good.

Amazing that so many FReepers here think it is the real Festerman.
Noted that once the powers settled on this stunt double, that his wife left public view.
AND Fetterman sought help for mental illness, depression. (A serious illness)
Coincidence???
What is currently presented is the fifth Festerman stunt double.
>I like him more and more too. Probably won’t change sides, but a change of clothes would be good.<
Yeah, simple wardrobe for sure.
Wash and wear or a fresh one each day.
Pleasantly surprised at him? He is not bad as I thought he’d be...
