(VINnews) — Senator John Fetterman expressed his disappointment at the failure of the ICC sanctions bill to pass the Senate, however the Democrat stopped short of criticizing his entire party in the Senate, all of whom voted against the no-brainer of a bill.

Fetterman tweeted:
“Deeply disappointed by the outcome of the ICC sanctions bill. My vote follows Israel—not the ICC that equivocated the democratically elected leader of our special ally to the terrorists and rapists of Hamas.”
It’s incredible that only one Senate Democrat was willing to stand up and be counted to combat the ICC on their mission to weaponize the law against an American ally.
Thank you, @SenFettermanPA, for once again showing moral clarity. Shame on the rest who failed to do the same.

He was praised by many Jews, including comedian Michael Rapapor and Joel Petlin.
Petlin tweeted: “It’s incredible that only one Senate Democrat was willing to stand up and be counted to combat the ICC on their mission to weaponize the law against an American ally.
“Thank you, @SenFettermanPA, for once again showing moral clarity. Shame on the rest who failed to do the same.”
Fetterman has been the most staunchly pro-Israel Democrat in the Senate, along with Ritchie Torres in the House.
The PA Senator has gotten intense backlash from pro-Hamas protesters, however his support for Israel has been relentless.
in case anyone doubted it, schumer just proved how much of a putz he is.

If sanctioning the ICC is so important to Schumer why hasn’t he proposed his own sanctions bill? His lies and hypocrisy continue. Why aren’t our major Orthodox Jewish advocacy organizations criticizing this terrible senator? Same goes for Gillibrand. Are these the best senators NYS’s Jewish voters can vote for? Sad if true.
All you New York State voters… Please remember this when your Senator, Schumer runs for reelection! He is one of the main reasons for this among other resolutions and bills that were ment to stop anti-Semitism that have failed in the Senate !
If the US recognized the ICC, it would be a check on the power of American presidents and senators. Of course they are opposed to it.
