That’s not call for genocide, but for destruction of Hamas, whose goal is destruction of the state of Israel, which is as close to call for genocide as it can get, and it is supported by action by targeting and killing civilians.
That's a little disingenuous. It's a call for the destruction of Hamas through the means of repeatedly bombing a small, impoverished nation with no regard for who or what is destroyed.
Israel is using airstrikes on hospitals, mosques, and schools. Fetterman is supporting the country that is responsible for 5,000 civilian deaths, tens of thousands of people injured, and 600,000 displaced people. That doesn't sound like genocide to you? We should support bombing a country to rubble because of some terrorists that they created through their cruelty? They ration their food, their water, deny them access to shipments, deny aid, andn break agreements. Of course they created extremists.
When you support Israel's wanton destruction of an entire nation, you are supporting genocide.
It is entirely possible to oppose Hamas without supporting Israel.
Not when he literally says that we have to support Israel's destruction of Hamas.
I wasn’t referring to Fetterman.
