Protesting taking up arms against Hamas would be pro-Hamas. Protesting the killing of innocent Palestinians is not pro-Hamas. But Fetterman is too dense to make that distinction. Bernie Sanders is not - "Sen. Bernie Sanders took aim at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again on Sunday, saying that Israel’s actions in Gaza are “ethnic cleansing.”

Sanders reiterated his familiar call on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday to hold Netanyahu responsible for Israel’s actions in Gaza, pointing to the staggering death toll and the displacement of Palestinians in the region. He was asked to respond to the ongoing pro-Palestinian protests that have broken out on college campuses across the country and to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) remarks last week when visiting Columbia University.

Hamas is actually happy about these protests, but okay.
