Democratic U.S. Sen. John Fetterman kept up his eye-opening, non-woke behavior Wednesday when he blasted the hypocrisy of South Africa going to international court against Israel for the Jewish nation's "genocide" against Palestinians in Gaza.
Speaking at the Orthodox Union Advocacy Center, the Pennsylvania lawmaker — donned in his standard shorts and hoodie — first took some time ripping into terror group Hamas over its deadly surprise attack against Israel in October, the Washington Examiner said.
An angry Fetterman called Hamas "a group of cowards" and said its members "hide in tunnels, they hide behind civilians, they attack, kill, and mutilate children [and] women!" He also demanded that pro-Palestinian advocates "stop talking about proportion" in regard to Israel's military response to Hamas.
“They shot their best shot on Oct. 7, and they would have taken more lives if they could have, but they couldn’t do it,” Fetterman added.
Shifting gears, Fetterman told the crowd that while he was on the subject of Hamas' "genocide," South Africa has plenty to answer for in that department — yet it's still going to trial against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
"Maybe South Africa ... ought to sit this one out when it comes to criticizing the behavior of other nations!" Fetterman barked. "Sit it out!”
The Examiner said Fetterman calling out South Africa referred to the murder of white farmers there, which led to riots alleging the murders were evidence of attempted genocide.
Fetterman has been getting heat from progressives over his headline-grabbing, non-woke takes of late:
