Graham had raised concerns about empowering Hamas by moving toward Palestinian statehood.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an absolute betrayal for Israel and for the worldwide Jewish community,\u201d said Fetterman.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether it\u2019s France or Australia or any of these nations, our Western allies are now calling for a\u00a0two-state solution\u00a0when Hamas refuses to disarm and are actively trying to kill Jews. I can\u2019t imagine why anybody would do that at this point,\u201d he added.\n<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Graham condemned Western nations that recognized a Palestinian state, accusing them of \u201crewarding killing Jews\u201d with that decision.\n<\/p>\n<p>Australia, France, the United Kingdom and Canada formally recognized a Palestinian state earlier this year.\u00a0In a statement,\u00a0Canada\u2019s Prime Minister Mark Carney clarified that their support was not meant to legitimize terrorism in the region but to promote future reconstruction following the devastating Israel-Hamas war.\n<\/p>\n<p>The United States has not formally recognized a Palestinian state.\n<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman also criticized Democrats for embracing what he called openly hostile, anti-Israel rhetoric, saying it is now \u201cbecoming more and more part of my party\u2019s platform.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t imagine why so many parts of people in my party continue to back away or to kind of deflect\u2026 condemning these kinds of horrific acts of terrorism,\u201d said Fetterman.\n<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Pennsylvania senator\u00a0has been staunchly pro-Israel and has called on his party to tone down their criticisms of the Jewish state. He blamed the growth of antisemitism in the United States on social media.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe young people in our nation have turned their back entirely against Israel, and that\u2019s the social media, that\u2019s the scourge, that\u2019s where antisemitism breeds,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n<h4>How are you praying about this threat to our nation?
