'Hamas is anathema for the peace': Fetterman says he supports Israel's right to destroy the terror group

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania has indicated that he stands firmly behind Israel's right to destroy Hamas and that doing so is requisite for achieving peace.

"For peace & a 2-state solution, Hamas must be destroyed & I fully support Israel's right to do that. It has been proven that Hamas used the hospital as part of their terror network, this blood is on their hands. Hamas is anathema for the peace, Palestinians deserve better," Fetterman noted in a Monday tweet. "Hamas must release the hostages now. We need more humanitarian aid in Gaza to meet the substantial need. We need to minimize the suffering and the tragic loss of civilian life. We do not need any conditions on military aid to Israel," he also noted.

Hamas perpetrated unspeakable atrocities in the Jewish state last month, slaughering, killing, and raping. Israel has declared that it aims to eliminate Hamas.

"I grieve for every innocent person and brave Israeli soldier killed since Hamas started this war. If not for the horrific attacks by Hamas terrorists, thousands of innocent Israelis and Palestinians would still be alive today," Fetterman said in a statement last month. "Now is not the time to talk about a ceasefire. We must support Israel in their efforts to eliminate the Hamas terrorists who slaughtered innocent men, women, and children. Hamas does not want peace, they want to destroy Israel. We can talk about a ceasefire after Hamas is neutralized."

The senator has been displaying posters at his office to highlight the individuals taken captive by Hamas terrorists. "They will stay up until every single person is safely returned home," he has noted.
