Drop Site Correspondent Julian Andreone asked Senator John Fetterman, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, if he is at all concerned about Israel breaking the ceasefire established in Gaza in October 2025 thousands of times, killing almost 500 civilians and injuring more than 1,300. In response, he ultimately said “I support...

Drop Site’s Julian Andreone asked Rep. Shontel Brown (OH-11) whether House Democrats could take steps to enforce the Gaza peace plan and halt Israel’s daily killings despite the deal. Her response: “I have called for a ceasefire.” She then told our correspondent to speak to Republicans and drove away. Brown has received more than $1.1 million in career support from pro-Israel interest groups. Democratic Majority for Israel spent over $2 million boosting her against Nina Turner in 2021, while AIPAC’s United Democracy Project and Pro-Israel America PAC poured in hundreds of thousands more. Turner, meanwhile, has been a leading voice condemning the genocide in Gaza and pushing to condition U.S. military aid.

An extensive conversation from earlier this week with Republican Senator Kevin Cramer about the role of special interest groups, like defense contractors and the pro-Israel lobby, in driving war. He told me & Drop Site that he's "never thought about" how the influence of corporate donors and lobbyists could influence U.S. foreign policy. Sen. Cramer recently told Medea Benjamin that the United States has a "biblical responsibility" to the state of Israel while justifying the Trump administration's decision to follow Benjamin Netanyahu into the Iran War. The senator has accepted, per AIPAC Tracker, more than $350,000 from the pro-Israel lobby himself.

Drop Site correspondent Julian Andreone pressed Sen. Pete Ricketts about a $1,000 donation he accepted from Tyson days after saying he’d “look into” whether the company violated the Stockyards and Packers Act by shutting down its Lexington, Nebraska plant. The facility has since closed, leaving more than 3,200 workers jobless in a town of 10,000. Asked about the layoffs, Ricketts speed-walked away: “Reach out to my office and we’ll get you a statement,” after an aide said, “We’re not taking any questions.” Ricketts has received $72,000 from Tyson over his career.

Wow. Democrat Senator John Fetterman U.S. Senator John Fetterman has bigger balls than most Republicans. He’s calling out the pro-Hamas and pro-IRGC Drop Site News Drop Site for their sketchy funding and support for Islamic terrorists who murder Jews. Meanwhile, someone at the White House actually gave Drop Site News a press pass and allowed them in the traveling press pool. Because of course they did. 🤡 Hard to imagine how that was an “oversight”, but whatever. Drop Site News should be investigated.

Drop Site’s Capitol Hill reporter Julian Andreone spoke with Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) about foreign press access to Gaza, Israel’s ongoing killing of Palestinian civilians, U.S. arms transfers, and the role that campaign donations and the pro-Israel lobby play in shaping policy. Kaine told Drop Site he strongly believes journalists should be allowed into Gaza and said Congress is scrutinizing arms transfers more closely than in the past, while acknowledging there is still no majority for imposing limits. Kaine’s record reflects shifts over the course of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. In March 2024, he voted to arm Israel’s war machine with $14 billion in U.S. tax dollars, as the reported death toll surpassed 30,000, with Gaza’s Health Ministry estimating roughly 72% of those killed were women and children. He later supported cutting U.S. funding to UNRWA, the backbone of Gaza’s aid operation, a decision that contributed to the collapse of aid delivery and worsening famine conditions. In November 2024 and April 2025, however, the Senator voted to block transfers of offensive weapons, including JDAMs, tank rounds, and mortars, and in September 2025 led a symbolic call for U.S. recognition of a Palestinian state, joined by six other Democratic senators. When asked whether the fact that 94% of Congress has accepted donations from the pro-Israel lobby concerns him or affects U.S. foreign policy, he said, “I don’t think it does.” Julian Andreone | Senator Tim Kaine

⭕️ US President Donald Trump claimed that “more than half” of Gaza’s population would leave if given the chance, repeatedly framing displacement as voluntary, as Israel has in the past. “More than half of Gaza will leave if given the opportunity,” he said, adding, “Even higher than that… We’ll see if that opportunity presents itself.” Trump went on: “If they were given the opportunity to live in a better climate they would move. They’re sorta there because they have to be.” He added, “We’re helping the people of Gaza a lot. So is Israel, by the way.” ➤ According to the Gaza Government Media Office, Israel has killed 418 Palestinians, the vast majority civilians, since agreeing to a ceasefire on October 10, and wounded more than 1,100 others. Israel is also blocking food and fuel, enforcing a medical siege on 2 million Palestinians, and denying shelter during winter storms that have flooded makeshift tents and left displaced families exposed and children dying of hypothermia.

🎥 The “Ceasefire” Israel Keeps Violating Jeremy Scahill breaks down the Sharm el-Sheikh deal signed last October, which required Israel to withdraw in phases, allow reconstruction, and permit 600 aid trucks into Gaza daily. Instead, while the Palestinian side “has overwhelmingly complied with every single aspect,” Israel “has violated every single aspect,” killing more than 1,250 Palestinians since the ceasefire began, more than the number of Israelis killed on October 7. jeremy scahill | Drop Site

Julian Andreone asked whether U.S. policy was being driven by Israel’s impulses. ➤ Rep.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said the war is not about regime change, yet Trump has reportedly spoken about replacing Iran’s leadership. ➤ Rep.

Netanyahu was asked about the growing consensus among genocide scholars, humanitarian organizations and UN bodies that Israel has committed war crimes, including genocide in Gaza. He blamed Hamas for seeking civilian deaths for propaganda and claimed “a lot fewer civilians to combatants lost than just about any urban warfare in modern times.” Asked why Israel still bars independent foreign journalists from entering Gaza outside military escorts, Netanyahu says the territory remains an active war zone and insists Israel is “not hiding” anything despite continuing restrictions on foreign independent reporting. He then pivoted to criticizing New York mayor Mamdani and his wife for not supporting Israel’s campaign in Gaza.

Valentine's is a day to celebrate love. This post is to show love for John Fetterman. His backstory on Israel is one you probably don't know, and it explains why his support is unlike anything we've seen in a long time, if ever. Almost every pro-Israel user on Twitter/X remembers Fetterman draping himself in the Israeli flag at a massive pro-Israel rally. And who could forget him climbing on his roof to wave the Israeli flag to taunt the pro-Hamas "protesters" who descended upon his home? But the background is deeply moving. The origin story of Fetterman's profound love for the Jewish people -- like so many great love stories -- was borne out of tragedy. On October 27, 2018, a gunman entered the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh on Shabbat morning, murdering 11 and wounding six. Fetterman lived a short drive from Tree of Life, and he was called almost immediately after the authorities knew about the shootings. At the time, Fetterman was in the home stretch of his ultimately successful campaign for Lt. Governor. Within moments of learning about the mass murder, John Fetterman did something unthinkable. He personally called his Republican opponent in that race, Jeff Bartos, who is Jewish. As Bartos told Politico, Fetterman told him, "I’m so sorry to be the one to call you, but I just got off the phone with the governor. There’s a shooting happening right now at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. It’s going to be bad." Perhaps most amazing is this little nugget, revealing how little exposure Fetterman apparently had until that point to the Jewish community. Bartos explained that he called Fetterman back later that same day and said, "I’m calling to let you know that you’re a mensch. And he chuckled and said, ‘Is that a good thing or a bad thing?'" He didn't know the word "mensch." Let that sink in. Just five years before U.S. Senator John Fetterman became one of the greatest champions of Israel and the Jewish people, he didn't know perhaps one of the most common Yiddish expressions -- one that even most non-Jewish Americans know. One of the ugliest memes out there is that Fetterman supports Israel because of -- wait for it -- Jewish money. That's a hateful two-fer, cheapening the powerful roots of Fetterman's beliefs while (as usual) trotting out the ugly trope that Jews just buy support. I hate that this is even necessary to explain, but Jews have low enough standards that we are easily impressed. Think of it like "Dayenu," the famous song recited at Passover Seder each year. Basically, it means that if G-d had done any one of these things, it would have been "dayenu" -- enough for us. If Fetterman had just voted to support pro-Israel resolutions after Oct 7 and given a few milquetoast speeches, dayenu. If Fetterman had just stuck it to those tearing down posters of hostages by wallpapering his Senate office with those same posters, dayenu. If Fetterman had just told Jake Tapper 🦅 on CNN that he didn't understand why it's controversial to support Israel as the Jewish state is fighting to eliminate Hamas, dayenu. If Fetterman had simply highlighted that those protesting for a ceasefire are not also calling for the hostages to be released or for Hamas to surrender, dayenu. If Fetterman had only gone back to his Senate office and come out waving a small Israeli flag to taunt pro-Hamas "protesters" as they were getting arrested by Capitol Police, dayenu. Of all his words, though, Fetterman showed his simple greatness when he said that Israel has the "imperative to destroy Hamas." There are no truer words as Israel somberly prepares to enter Rafah to strike one -- hopefully last -- mighty blow against Hamas. I hope that after people read -- and share -- this post, they will join me in declaring U.S. Senator John Fetterman as the Valentine for Israel, the Jewish people, and the many millions of righteous supporters of the Jewish state. Even that would not be "dayenu" for all Fetterman has done since Oct 7, but it's the best place to start on Valentine's.
