Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres on Monday slammed Harvard students after they penned a letter blaming Israel for attacks conducted by the terror group Hamas.
A Democratic New York congressman on Monday slammed Harvard students after they penned a letter blaming Israel for attacks by the terror group Hamas. 'Israel is the victim of a terrorist attack. Hamas is the perpetrator. It’s as simple as that. There are no ‘both sides,’' Rep. Ritchie Torres said in response to a letter penned by various Harvard student groups. Torres, 35, was elected to represent New York's 15 congressional district in 2020.
We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,' the statement began. It continued, 'Today’s events did not occur in a vacuum. For the last two decades, millions of Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to live in an open-air prison. Israeli officials promise to ‘open the gates of hell,’ and the massacres in Gaza have already commenced. Palestinians in Gaza have no shelters for refuge and nowhere to escape.
Rep. Bush also called for an end to the U.S. government's support of Israel. 'As part of achieving a just and lasting peace, we must do our part to stop this violence and trauma by ending U.S. government support for Israeli military occupation and apartheid.' FOX News' Lindsay Kornick contributed to this report.
