New York Democrat representative Ritchie Torres penned an opinion piece slamming Democratic Socialist and woke institutions for brainwashing young people with anti-Israel rhetoric after the Hamas terror attack.
In his essay, the congressman who represents the Bronx, called out pro-Palestine groups who blamed Israel for the attack on October 7 that has killed over 1,400 Israelis.
‘Could you imagine anything more callous and cruel than telling that grieving mother: You had it coming. You and your people brought the terror upon yourselves,’ Torres wrote for the New York Post.
‘Those were the shocking sentiments of the New York City-Democratic Socialists of America (NYC-DSA), which wasted no time in holding a hate rally romanticizing as “resistance.”‘
Immediately following the terrorist attack on the Jewish state, a protester at pro-Palestine rally in Times Square organized by the Democratic Socialists of America held up a swastika.

‘How do you think the believers internalizing these lies will respond to the savage slaughter of Israelis? This is a moral monstrosity made in America, and one that America must unmake,’ said Torres.
‘Israel’s ideological enemies here in the US found cause for celebration at the sight of dead Jews.’
‘The ONLY morally acceptable response to such incomprehensible terror is overwhelming outrage at the boundless barbarism of Hamas.’
Up to 100 pro-Palestine protesters demanding US halt aid to Israel were arrested outside Jewish Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer’s home.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to ‘demolish’ Hamas with Israeli troops after nearly 150 babies, children and elderly have gone missing since the attack.
Torres called out his fellow congressmen and national leaders who refused to condemn antisemitism.
‘The time has come to confront not only the symptoms but the disease: a Democratic Socialist industrial complex that indoctrinates young Americans with an anti-Israel hatred so virulent that it renders them indifferent to the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust,’ said the congressman.
‘Something is rotten in the state of America. When the institutional leaders in our country cannot condemn the cold-blooded murder of Israeli children and civilians with moral clarity, one must ask: what kind of society are we becoming?’
Torres called out the education system that has promoted anti-Israel rhetoric. Since the attack, colleges and universities have faced intense scrutiny over there responses or lack thereof.
He said the anti-Israel extremism is a failure that is aided and abetted by spineless leaders from public officials to university presidents.
At the University of California Berkeley, the group Bears for Palestine expressed their support for Hamas just hours after their attack on Israel.
‘Anti-Israel hate and hysteria have been allowed to fester freely in academia, social media, the political arena, and elsewhere,’ said Torres.
‘The anti-Israel hate increasingly possessing the American mind is a demon that must be exorcised from our body politic. For America cannot long remain a decent society if the next generation of Americans are made to be indifferent to the barbaric butchering of Israeli civilians and children.’

Some House Democrats, including Ritchie’s fellow New York representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the ‘Squad’ have called for a ceasefire and even to cut off US aid to Israel.
In his essay, Torres made clear he stands firm in his support for Israel.
‘I, for one, stand with Israel as it seeks to defend itself. Despite the profound pain of the present, Israel will emerge from it all better and stronger than ever before,’ said Torres.
‘Resilience is the DNA and destiny of the Jewish people and the Jewish State. It always has been and always will be. I am as certain of that as I am of anything. Am Yisrael Chai.’
