Democratic Senator John Fetterman took aim at his own party on Sunday, excoriating support worldwide for unilateral Palestinian statehood, including among Democratic lawmakers.

Fetterman appeared on Fox News following a segment featuring fellow senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican representing South Carolina, who condemned Western support for unilateral Palestinian statehood.

“To every Western government who has recognized a Palestinian state, you are rewarding killing Jews,” said Graham. “It is the most irresponsible decision I can imagine. What state are you recognizing? Is it controlled by Hamas?”

“What are you recognizing here, that when you kill Jews, you get a state?”

Appearing on Fox News‘ “Sunday Morning Futures” immediately after Graham, Fetterman said that he agreed “with virtually everything” Graham had said.

Fetterman blasted both his own party and Western governments for backing the push for unilateral Palestinian statehood following the October 7 invasion of Israel.

“It’s an absolute betrayal for Israel and for the worldwide Jewish community,” Fetterman said.

“Whether it’s France or Australia or any of these nations, our Western allies are now calling for a two-state solution when Hamas refuses to disarm and are actively trying to kill Jews. I can’t imagine why anybody would do that at this point.”

The Pennsylvania senator lamented that “incredibly anti-Israel kinds of views” are “becoming more and more part of my party’s platform.”

“I can’t imagine why so many parts of people in my party continue to back away or to kind of deflect… condemning these kinds of horrific acts of terrorism,” Fetterman said, referencing the massacre in Sydney on Sunday targeting a Chanukah celebration.

“The young people in our nation have turned their back entirely against Israel, and that’s the social media, that’s the scourge, that’s where antisemitism breeds.”
