Senator John Fetterman is drawing fire for putting unconditional support for Israel above domestic concerns, a bad look for a Democrat facing critics back home.

• In a Jon Stewart interview, Fetterman called Israel his "red line" and seemed unfazed when reminded it is a different country from the one he represents.
• Critics say he's focused on a foreign government while many Pennsylvanians can't afford insurance, groceries, or prescription drugs.
• Fetterman clashed with a Drop Site News reporter, dodging questions and accusing the outlet of being pro-Hamas instead of answering.
• Drop Site says it's funded by tens of thousands of small individual donors, none of whom shape its coverage.
• The core argument: pro-Israel critics assume everyone is bought by someone because they can't imagine a principled position that isn't paid for.

Outlook: Expect Fetterman to keep taking heat from the Democratic base over Israel as the issue splits the party heading into the next election cycle.
