Summer Lee and other progressives are condemning the attack by Hamas

WASHINGTON — Five of the nine House Democrats who voted against a pro-Israel resolution this summer — including Western Pennsylvania’s U.S. Rep. Summer Lee — have condemned Hamas for its weekend attack against the Jewish state.

Ms. Lee, D-Swissvale, was joined by Reps. Jamaal Bowman and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, and Delia Ramirez of Illinois in tweeting out specific condemnations of the Palestinian group that is designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. government.

A sixth lawmaker, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., didn’t mention Hamas by name but sided with Israel as she tweeted that “these devastating attacks on Israelis are deeply alarming and my heart breaks for the victims & their loved ones.”

Separately, as Israel struck back against Hamas on Monday, U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said he supports the Jewish state “neutralizing the terrorists responsible for this barbarism.”
