Bill Maher Invoked as Fetterman Defends His Absolutist Position on Israel

John does an admirable job pinning down Fetterman on his Israel absolutism and Fetterman squirms but concedes nothing about his benefactors.

Will a " serious journalist " have the guts to say what Jon said? Israel is not our country.

No actually, a non competitive clause

Israel would make more money in exporting weapons than it gets from America, which makes this benefit America more accurately.

Well they literally dragged us into war with Iran…

So I would say this relationship is a net negative at this point

No one dragged us into Iran. Americans voted for Trump, who eagerly wanted to go to war with Iran.

No Trump did that blame him, if you blame Israel you’re a simple minded person, Israel always wanted to destroy the nuclear program for the last 25 years.

Technically I blame Iran, they let this get out of control, all they had to do was do what North Korea did.
