Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) appears to have a new hobby: trolling the anti-Israel crowd. Since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas, the senator has been outspoken in his support for Israel, much to the consternation of folks on the left, especially those who prefer shilling for Hamas.

In his latest troll of the anti-Israel lobby, Fetterman commented on the story about pro-Palestinian protesters harassing people at a Jewish restaurant in New York City.

The senator lashed out at the protesters, highlighting how they completely ignore the atrocities committed by Hamas.

Fetterman is right. Many of those in the pro-Palestinian camp are not necessarily protesting against Israel because they care about the plight of the Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank, nor are they trying to advocate for peace. If this were the case, they would be condemning Hamas, which has routinely abused the civilians living under its rule. The fact that they are silent, or even defensive of, the terrorist group shows that their activism is fueled far more by a hatred of the Jewish people than by a desire to help Palestinians.

The fact that many on the hard left are more anti-Israel than they are pro-Palestinian is becoming even more apparent as the war in the Middle East drags on. We have seen folks on the left refuse to so much as say a critical word about the news that Hamas terrorists had raped, tortured, and inflicted many kinds of abuse on Israeli women when they invaded on October 7.

In fact, it was recently reported that an Israeli official reached out to former First Lady Michelle Obama to ask her to condemn Hamas’ sexual assaults against women. But it was made clear that Obama wanted to do no such thing.

May Golan, Minister for the Advancement of the Status of Women of Israel, participated in an interview on Israel’s Channel 14 on Saturday and discussed the brutal acts committed against Israeli females. Golan told the host that her team had approached Michelle Obama, who had previously condemned Boko Haram, a terrorist group that kidnapped 276 girls from a Nigerian school. Unfortunately, Obama declined to say a word about the mass rape that occurred against Israeli women on October 7 during Hamas’ surprise attack.

Golan: It’s impossible to trust these institutions any more. From my perspective, they don’t have any relevance anymore. And that’s what I want to say. When Michelle Obama, wife of Barack Hussein Obama, said, in public, went out against Boko Haram, and called to return the girls that were kidnapped by Boko Haram, we had, here, a moment of silence, for a sigh ––

Host: She said nothing? She said nothing.

Golan: Not a word. And we approached her, I tell you

Host: Oh, this is new. You approached Michelle Obama —

Golan: Unambigously.

Host: — please condemn the case of the slaughter of the 7th of October, and Michelle Obama did not agree to condemn it?

Golan: I’ll tell you more than that. I sent her a description, in authentic, sworn testimony, by people who told about the collection of severed female organs from women who had been raped, on broken pelvises, about shocking things that … I don’t want to continue to say in the Israel media. We know that the request has been received. She is not in a political position, she can certainly respond. Silence from her, from all the other female celebrities.

Fetterman is one of few on the left who are willing to call out the pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas crowd and has taken to trolling them on several occasions. Despite the criticism coming from the left, he has not backed down in his support of the Jewish state. Given that these activists are trying to push their agenda on everyone else, this is a welcome sign; we need far more people willing to stand up to those trying to force people to take the terrorists’ side in this war.
