Fetterman may have been referring to the nation accusing Israel of genocide while calling on the United Nations to order a halt to Israel's military actions against Hamas.
The Associated Press reported Thursday:
During opening statements at the International Court of Justice, South African lawyers said the latest war in Gaza is part of decades of Israeli oppression of Palestinians.
The court “takes advantage of the past 13 weeks of evidence that incontrovertibly shows a pattern of conduct and related intent” that amounts to “a plausible claim of genocidal acts,” South African lawyer Adila Hassim told the judges and to the audience in a packed room. from the Peace Palace in The Hague.
The country's leaders were torn apart by Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
“This is a world turned upside down: the state of Israel is accused of genocide while fighting genocide,” he said in a video statement. “South Africa's hypocrisy screams to heaven.”
Fetterman's heated remarks about South Africa come after the Democrat has taken an outspoken and vocal stance on a number of issues recently, much to the chagrin of his colleagues.

In addition to voicing his support for Israel, he has pushed for embattled Sen. Bob Menendez to be removed from office and denounced broken borders and immigration policies under President Joe Biden's administration.
His latest comment about South Africa caught the attention of social media users who chimed in with some interesting reactions of their own.
Obviously, it takes a hit for a Democrat to start making sense

Who knew Fetterman would be the most reasonable person in Congress, maybe he's not so bad after all ♂️
Everyone in Congress should take notes.

John Fetterman went to a mental hospital and came out much more conservative than when he entered. I'm actually starting to like Fetterman. Continue if you agree.
