Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) laughed and waived an Israeli flag at pro-Palestinian protesters on Thursday who were getting arrested in the nation’s capital.
In the video, the petulant protesters could be heard shouting: “What do we want? Ceasefire. When do we want it? Now.”
As Fetterman walked by waiving the Israeli flag, the leftists started shouting “shame!” and claiming that he supported “genocide.”

Fetterman has broadened his appeal to many voters over the course of the last month as he has been one of the most pro-Israel Democrats in the country.
His support comes after Palestinian terrorists murdered 1,400 Israelis, wounded 5,300+, and kidnapped 240+ in an unprecedented terrorist attack last month. Polling has shown that the overwhelming majority of the American public believes that Israel has a right to defend itself in light of the attack.
Fetterman responded to anti-Semites tearing down posters across the country showing the Israelis that were kidnapped by Hamas by hanging up posters in his office of every person who was kidnapped.
“In my front office I have displayed the posters of the innocent Israelis kidnapped by Hamas,” he posted on social media. “They will stay up until every single person is safely returned home.”

Fetterman mocked a pro-Palestinian protester over the weekend who interrupted an event where he was speaking.
“Four thousand-plus dead children in Palestine! Nine thousand-plus dead civilians! Get off the stage!” the protester screamed at Fetterman during an event on Sunday. “Get off the stage! … Get off the stage!”
Fetterman fired back, “The joke is on you. I had a stroke. I can’t fully understand what you’re saying.”
Police eventually had to get physical with the protester to remove him from the event.
