Pennsylvania Senator Blasts Democratic 'Rot,' Demands Consistency: Why the Silence on Iran's Execution of Thousands of Protesters While Attacking America's Key Ally?
Yair Kleinbaum. Feb 15, 2026.
Appearing earlier this evening on Fox News, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman delivered a powerful rebuke to critics of Israel, particularly Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), for their selective outrage.
Fetterman highlighted the hypocrisy in relentlessly attacking Israel while remaining silent on the Islamic Republic of Iran's brutal suppression of its own people.
"Why is she so eager to criticize Israel, but I don’t recall her saying anything as Iran executed thousands of protesters?" Fetterman asked pointedly.
He firmly stated, "There was never a genocide in Gaza," emphasizing Israel's right to defend itself in what he described as an "existential war."
This exchange comes amid fresh revelations from an Iranian doctor, identified as Dr. Reza, who spoke to The Jerusalem Post about the Iranian regime's horrific tactics during recent protests.
According to him, members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have been killing protesters directly in hospital beds and targeting medical staff who attempt to provide care.
Countless civilians, even those unconnected to the protests, perished when the regime cut off landlines and internet access, preventing emergency calls. These actions paint a grim picture of a totalitarian regime willing to murder its citizens to maintain power, actions that have drawn international condemnation but little commentary from some vocal U.S. politicians.
Fetterman's comments were prompted by AOC's recent statement in Munich, where she claimed a "genocide" occurred in Gaza.

Did AOC use the (pallyweid buzzword) "genocide" on Gaza before being heckled on March 4, 2024?
[Google AI]: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) did not publicly use the term "genocide" to describe Israel's actions in Gaza before the March 4, 2024, incident.
While being heckled by protesters at a Brooklyn cinema on that date, she claimed she had "already said that it was" a genocide, but major news outlets and official records noted she had previously resisted using the term. Her formal public "embrace" of the term occurred weeks later.
