Two years ago today, the world witnessed the worst massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust. What unfolded on October 7 was not merely an act of terrorism—it was a grotesque assault on humanity itself. The Hamas-led attack on Israel was premeditated, unprovoked, and savagely executed. It was an attack not only on the Jewish people, but on the very bedrock of Western values: human dignity, rule of law, and the moral imperative to protect the innocent.

And now, two years later, while Israel and Jews around the world mark this somber anniversary with grief and reflection, Hamas has chosen to celebrate. In a disturbing turn that underscores their ideological depravity, Hamas released an AI-generated propaganda video glorifying the attack, calling it a “glorious day of crossing.” The Jerusalem Post confirmed the timing and intent—this was no accident of scheduling. This was deliberate desecration.

Even more troubling, though, is what’s happening on American soil. In New York City, far-left activists—openly sympathetic to Hamas—are using this day not to mourn the dead, but to organize protests and “escalations” at the Israeli consulate. And if recent history is any guide, “escalation” means confrontation, vandalism, and, all too often, outright violence. Jewish-owned businesses are on alert. Synagogues are bracing. And the silence from the Democratic Party’s leadership is deafening.
Except for one voice.
Senator John Fetterman, the Pennsylvania Democrat who has surprised many since his recovery from a 2022 stroke, broke ranks with his party yet again. He marked the anniversary of October 7 with a two-word message that resonated far louder than all the empty platitudes from the rest of his party combined: “Never Again.”
Simple. Direct. Unapologetic.
And unmistakably rare in a party that has been overtaken—at least in Washington—by radicals more eager to defend Hamas than Israel, more willing to condemn Netanyahu than to condemn mass murder, and more focused on “context” than on clarity.
Fetterman has, intentionally or not, become the last thread tethering his party to moral seriousness on this issue. Not even Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, himself Jewish, has demonstrated the clarity or courage to confront the Hamas apologists in his caucus. Instead, figures like Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Cori Bush—who make up what many now accurately refer to as the “Hamas Caucus”—have turned solidarity with terrorism into a political platform.
Fetterman has refused to play along.
While activists scream about “resistance,” he has stood with Israel. While others waffle or equivocate, he’s condemned Hamas without caveats. While the Democratic Socialists cheer for “decolonization by any means necessary,” Fetterman has stood with the victims of barbarism, not its perpetrators.

This puts him at odds with nearly every power center in his party—and it shows. Progressives have already called for his ouster. Some demand he resign. Others want him primaried. But Fetterman is standing his ground, even as that ground grows increasingly isolated.
Would he ever leave the Democratic Party? Unlikely. His policy positions still align with many traditional Democratic stances—at least the ones his party used to hold, before it morphed into something unrecognizable. But there is growing speculation, and for good reason, that Fetterman may eventually declare independence, either by choice or because the far-left forces inside the party force his hand.
If that day comes, it won’t be a surprise. It will be a final act of principle from a man whose principles have already cost him plenty. But for now, in 2025, as Israel marks the second anniversary of October 7 amid both foreign mockery and domestic betrayal, only one Democrat in Washington seems to grasp what’s at stake.
