Fetterman responds to 'Free Palestine' writing at Pittsburgh school: 'This is reprehensible'

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., denounced a picture posted on X, formerly Twitter, showing "Free Palestine" written across a wall at a school in the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Squirrel Hill, a predominantly Jewish community where the Tree of Life Synagogue is also located.

Fetterman described the picture, allegedly depicting an exterior wall at Allerdice High School, as "reprehensible."

"This is reprehensible," the senator wrote on X. "The only thing that belongs on a wall right now is this."

His post then included a picture of the wall outside his office in Washington, D.C., which shows an American flag and dozens of flyers with information on people who have been kidnapped by Hamas following its Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

An antisemitic attack took place at the Tree of Life Synagogue on Oct. 27, 2018, when a gunman opened fire on the congregation, leaving 11 people dead and six others wounded.
