Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman clapped back at New York Times (NYT) reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro over a question on Israel’s war against terror in an interview released Saturday.
Garcia-Navarro poked at Fetterman’s unwavering support for Israel following the deadly Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Islamic terror group Hamas with a slew of questions. The Democratic senator remained consistent when pressed about Israel’s exploding pager attack of mid-September which targeted Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon.
Fetterman told the NYT reporter he “absolutely” does support Israel’s pager attack despite the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh chapters of the Council on American Islamic Relations condemning him in a joint statement issued in late September.
“They said, ‘When our elected officials start condoning the civilian loss of life, our collective moral compass is irreparably harmed,’” Garcia-Navarro said.
“It was targeted for members of Hezbollah. You know, no one uses beepers in that situation other than they were a member of Hezbollah,” Fetterman countered.
“There was a young child who was killed,” the NYT reporter said.
“Unfortunately, tragically, because daddy was a member of Hezbollah,” Fetterman responded. “He brought that danger and evil into their home. And that’s what tragically resulted in that poor child’s death.”
“That’s what’s so terrible. She paid the price because her father was a terrorist for Hezbollah,” he added.
Garcia-Navarro asked Fetterman earlier if he thinks Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is working to help elect Trump, which the Democratic senator said he does not believe.
“I don’t believe that. I don’t. And if you think that might be, I don’t know why it’s helpful to say that publicly,” Fetterman said. “I have to believe all of those college protesting and a lot of those other things, they would give Hamas opportunity to rejoice a lot of this division. But now there’s not much left of them anymore to celebrate.”

TANNA-
This may interest you. I’m only guessing, of course.
On Arutz7 right now is an article entitled,
“The Spiritual Essence Of The Noachide Covenant”.
It’s on the Left hand side about 5-6 articles down. It has just apeared.
If most of the JEWISH people returned to Israel, There would be nothing but “wall-to-wall” high rise monoliths cities in themselves.
Horrible and impossible to defend. All food would need to be imported, thereby exposing an irreversible weakness. And much more for even the unimaginative but logical.
My maternal grandmother’s maiden name was – wait for it – Israel.
Wonderful to hear Seb.
@Edgar, Tanna We don’t have any choice. We are not recent converts or the children of or people who are defined as what we do or believe. It is who and what we are. Our ancestors have been Jews for millenia and it shows. I was brought up to assimilate like a chameleon. Long story short: Herzl was right. Didn’t work. I decided to embrace who I am. Not an exaggeration. I did the even ethnic DNA thing from Myheritage.com for myself and my late mother when she was alive. Going back two thousand years. My mother’s was 100 percent Jewish. Mine was about 2 or 3 percent Italian, the rest was Jewish.
TANNA-
I feel you are not a Jew and you wiggle when I say so. This means nothing to me except as an observation. You are a perfectly nice person who believes in our divine purpose. Perhaps a Noachide, but it matters nothing.
SAUL was before David, but D. was the most loved and successful in our history, His very misdeeds and repentences attracted. a loveable rogue. So a Moshiach HAS to be of his descent. And like his High Priest, Zadok, the authentic High Priest had to be from HIS descent.
}{ However their descents have been blurred into nothing, only the Kohanim are still identifiable}.
Of course this was just beloved tradition, nothing more or mystical about it.
The M belief emerged around 4th-5th cents BCE, or later, no definite date, for the reasons I mentioned. The obscure words and lost meanings remained even more so, but were eagerly grabbed and “brought to have a “meaning”. So a Moshiach emerged full grown. The same “Deliverer” is expected in the annals of very many other nations who have been almost destroyed, and even today it stays alive, mostly in Africa I think. The Mandeans, (followers of John Baptiser) expect John to re appear some day. He really existed and was written about by Josephus, contrary to the mythical Jesus.
The
How would a Moshiach appear today, I wonder, dressed in a skin overcoat with a staff, or in a Rolls Royce??? Or at all (certain)
As for those who had ops to revert their circumcisions , they were like the today’s American JINOS even worse. Their Jerusalem had vanished, their nation stamped flat; prostate under the heel of their enemies.
So they, as I said, went with the tide. No more 613 precepts for them.
Seb, whom you like to call Mr. Zorn, was much like them in youth, a JINO, who eventually “saw the light of reason” as he’s related to us.
Today he’s a verbrente Yid although I don’t know if he’s given up his bacon and eggs. Propriety forbids my asking.
He’s a good guy very knowledgeable and all in the past few years.
SEB. I lost over 200 second degree family in the Shoah. Not T;G my parents or grandparents, but they lost their own close families..
They lived in both Latvia and Lithuania. “Nuff said.
TED-
A response to Tanna disappeared as I was just finishing it. Is it poss you could revert and find it.?? If so, thank you.
SEB-
I’m not talking about the Holocaust and you know this. I’m talking about thr “democratised-brainwashed Jerws who, on arrival at Ellis Island were met by Dem. wadr heelers with money food and a place to stay. Who were shown how to vote 4-5 times at different booths for the same candidate. Who rapidly assimilated.
I myself lost about 200 relatives in the Shoah, fortunately not my very closest personal family but THEIR closest families and more…
It’s just like you to blot out the issue by introducing a “bum steer” like the Marranos of 500 years ago. I know as much or more about them than you I’d bet/
Read the info on Dona Grasia Nasi Mendes surely on your fav.Wiki.
The most famous and forgotten Jewish Heroine in history..
Edgar, Mr. Zorn, As I understand it, one does not get to choose our parents. Nore our gender although we do live in a world where you can change those choices if you want. even history records around the first century Jewish men tried to change their Jewishness by having their circumcision undone. the real choice is in being a righteous individual.
Edgar, what year do you think that messiah / Moshiach ideal was dream up.? You do know your King David was one….. that is anointed, don’t you?
You know better than to call me a Christian because I used an English word. I have told you before I cannot be called a Christian because I do not adhere to Nore believe the Christian tenants. But I do believe in Abraham, Iasac and Jacob – your grandfathers and their God, YHVH. By the way, try not to get Mr. Zorn’s all upset you make his blood pressure spike. 🙂
@Edgar Oh, yeah? Tell it to the Marranos. Tell it to my murdered grandparents. I’m not buyin’ it.
SEB-
SURE we have a choice. As did the Goldbergs who emerged as “Griffiths”, and Cohen’s who were reborn as “Corless”
You “Zorn” were likely once Zadowskys.
TANNA-
You must know I mean no offence. But those of speak of “King” Messiah are usually Messianic Christians or similar sects. We Yidden say Moshiah not Messiah.
After all it’s only a word for “anointed with oil”.
As for the resrt of my email It’s seriously meant and itis fact as to how the “Moshiach” belief came intom being.
A late”lifeline” for downtrodden Jews whom still hoped.
@Tanna to Edgar
Like we have a choice? 😀
Wow Edgar, I’m not sure what to say??? Are you really Jewish?
TANNA-
You are a very nice person as I’ve always seen. But I must correct you, here.
I DO NOT HAVE A MESSIAH KING, as you call it.
I DO NOT BELIEVE there is or will ever be such a person.
It was a very late belief, which arose because Israel could not understand why, although they kept G-D’s Laws they were always conquered and slaughtered. Most of Israel’s existence It was a client ground under state of one or the other great powers.
So they pondered and some mashuggenah people began to believe, with no cause for such, that if they can’t befreed now, they will be in the future.
A natural assumption of a desperate, downtrodden people. Of course he would be of David’s lineage, their most beloved. successful ruler.
We’re still waiting, at least you and the simple minded are….but I AM NOT, NOR EVER WILL.
IN TODAY’s VERY ADVANCED TECHNICAL AGE< to believe such a superstition is foolish beyond belief.
Tanna you are casting your undoubtedly intelligent mind adrift and back over 2500 years. Hard to believe.
But you are not a Jew but a Christian who easily believes in myth and mysticism., it being a large part of your faith.
Edgar, Good to see your still fisty and full of spit and vinegar. I know you don’t think that donkey talked, but he squeezed out of Balaam some really good words that reach all the way down to today, that has to do with the coming of Your Messiah, king and ruler of the Jewish people.
If you did not listen to the referenced interview with Fetterman and the NYT you should listen it is interesting. Also, you will learn about the ornamental decoration you need to acquire for your truck. Here is my point about Fetterman. Something has changed with him. He has done an about face. He is moving, thinking, speaking in opposition to democrat values. Maybe we could say he is moving more to center. I predict, if he continues along the path he has been on since he got out of the hospital, and he continues to maintain his integrity instead of giving in to the Beast, If he speaks truth as he is learning and doing now. Then there is soon coming a day he will leave politics all together or he will do as Tulsa Gappard and others have done and leave the democrat party. Take care, My friend.
TANNA-
They had ventriloquism even then, What do we need to bring in a talking donkey for ??Let Balaam rest in peace.
We have far too many talking 2 leggers here today, emitting hot air enough to float a Zeppilin.
My Rabbi, has taught to pay attention to the mysterious talking donkey in the bible, they hold secrets. Looks like it’s still true today.
Fetterman has been a great source of surprise, to be honest. I will NEVER forget him standing on top of a building waving a super sized Israeli flag to taunt the Hamas acolytes who came to taunt him.
Never much liked Fetterman, til now. Bit of a clown. But in this instance, he is correct, The Hezbollah dad, brought death into his home.
There should be no shelter for terrorists of any brand, ever.
He’s been a pleasant surprise. More trustworthy on Israel then Trump.
