From the article:

The liberal comedian then asked Fetterman whether his shift in various policies had anything to do with his recovery from his 2022 stroke, asking if his near-death experience had given him a “freedom.”

“Absolutely,” Fetterman responded. “There’s a line from the first ‘Batman,’ Joker’s like ‘I’ve been dead once already. It’s very liberating.'”

“It’s freeing in a way. And I just think after beating all of that, I just really [want to] be able to say the things that I have to really believe in and not be afraid of if there’s any kind of blowback.”

So basically yes, the stroke made him a Republican. Pathetic and disappointing, but all too predictable.

    The point is Hamas didn’t exist before the state of Israel. It was created as a response to Israel terrorists stealing Palestinians land.

      “stealing”, palestine was part of the ottoman empire before they sided with germany in WW1 and lost, surrendering most of their land and becoming turkey. They have no right to say anything was stolen from them, they surrendered it. Multiple deals were rejected that wouldve given them autonomy and legitimacy over a larger region than they currently have, but they would rather keep fighting and dying until they can get their empire back I guess.
