Fetterman Finds 'Just War' in Gaza, Forgets AIPAC's Donation History
Senator Fetterman, whose political reinvention from progressive firebrand to pro-Israel hawk has been nothing short of spectacular, recently dismissed genocide claims in Gaza, calling the ongoing devastation a 'just war.' This stunning clarity on battlefield ethics emerges just as the UN and multiple human rights organizations sound alarms over unprecedented civilian casualties and humanitarian
catastrophe. Remember when Fetterman was the champion of the working class? Now he's a champion of 'just wars,' which, in this context, appear to involve the systematic flattening of hospitals and schools. Perhaps this newfound moral certainty isn't divine revelation, but rather, a rather predictable consequence of political realignment. Fetterman has received campaign contributions from groups
associated with AIPAC, a powerful pro-Israel lobbying organization that consistently advocates for unwavering U.S. support for Israeli military actions. One might observe that his rhetoric—from refusing to call for a ceasefire to echoing Israeli government talking points—conveniently aligns with the objectives of his significant donors. It seems his 'just war' assessment depends less on
international law and more on who's signing the checks.
