Fetterman blasts South Africa 'genocide' case against Israel amid unrest, crime: 'Sit this one out'

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., says South Africa should focus on unrest in Africa before targeting Israel for 'genocide'

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., criticized South Africa for bringing a genocide case against Israel in the United Nations' International Court of Justice despite its own reported rampant slayings of White farmers.

"Who are they really fighting? It’s a group of cowards. They hide in tunnels, they hide behind civilians, they attack, kill and mutilate children, women. And they do that. Stop talking about proportion on that. They shot their best shot on October 7th, and they would have taken more lives if they could do that," Fetterman said of Hamas terrorists while speaking at the Orthodox Union luncheon in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.

"Now we’re also talking about genocide," Fetterman continued. "And now South Africa… bringing that kind of trial. Maybe South Africa ought to sit this one out when they’re talking about criticizing the behavior of another nation. Sit out!"

Fetterman’s remarks came as the International Court of Justice in The Netherlands was set to hear oral arguments on Thursday in the case South Africa submitted in late December accusing Israel of genocide. The senator also referenced what's happening in South Africa regarding calls for violence against White farmers.

Maybe Fetterman should refuse to vote for any bill that contains a nickel of “aid” for South Africa.

Did Fetterman ever bring up murdered white farmers before S.A. criticized Israel?

Every once in a while Fetterman gets it right.Which certainly puts him above just about every other Rat in DC.

Has anyone from either party?

Hell, I'll give Fetterman credit. He went there.

A new result of stroke called Fetterman’s Aphasia. The liberal neural pathways get re-routed through the sensible portion of the cerebrum before activating the motor pathways to the mouth.

Has ANY politician of either party?

Look, Fetterman is a lib. But he’s also prone to straying off the reservation. He’s done it on immigration, he’s done it by emphasizing he is NOT a progressive, and he’s done it on South Africa. Name any Democrat politician who has EVER criticized South Africa. You won’t find one. They are off limits. But he went there.

I’ll give credit where credit is due.

Okay, did Hell just freeze over?

This is twice in the last month that Uncle Fester said something that I agree with.

I am starting to like this guy. I hope he pisses off the Squad.

Sounds like Fetterman is running for Joe Manchin's (D-WV) old job in the U.S. Senate...

"Look folks, I'm a Conservative Democrat!"

Is Fetterman from a Jewish family?

Wiki does not mention his religion.

In his two campaigns for Senate, he has expressed sincere support for Israel, although he also supports the useless and suicidal "Two State Solution."

The rats need someone to articulate some contrary views to forward the narrative that the dems are not exclusively far left. It’s a BS head fake. It costs them nothing and Shrek will vote with them 100%.

Israel has driven Fetterman from the Democrat Party. Will Jews finally exit Democrat support in droves now as they realize where antisemitism lives free & is celebrated?

Actually, I'm sure politicians of both parties will pile on South Africa. Not because anyone cares about white farmers, but because Israel trumps S.A.

The White House and State Dept are already doing so:

US Condemns South Africa's 'Meritless' Genocide Case Against Israel.
