Dem Rep. Ritchie Torres — an ardent Zionist — is now questioning Israel as images of starving Palestinian children shock the world. It signals how moderate Dems are backing off the unqualified support for Israel that’s underscored the party for decades.
This is so hard for him, I really feel his pain. Ha, fuck him. He finally is getting around to seeing Israel for what it has become.
Well, their love of murdering Palestinian babies is one of the reasons they lost to someone as obviously awful and unfit as Trump. They need to learn from that. Decent people just don't like parties who support Israeli genocide. Israel is toxic.
It's the "moderate-conservative" Dems who are dragging the party down. They need to be replaced with Democrats with a much clearer vison and aggressiveness when it comes to Israel and fighting the Republicans at every turn, not just a few.
Failing to call out Israel’s government and military actions is tacit approval and complicity
If only they would stop taking money from AIPAC, lobbyists, and corporations to show they are truly serving the people, I'm sure the people would support them.
Talk about too little too late. Where was he when Congress was passing the HR 1125 saying that anyone against Netanyahu was antisemitic? Oh right.. he voted that not only should Bibi get a free pass but that we weren't even allowed to consider questioning it.
He is only changing his stance because its now undeniable that it is #genocide so he looks bad He dug in his heels, said and voted as his #AIPAC bosses told him to - he doesn't represent his constituents, he represents greed We want change now No tax money for murdering families #EndTheSiege
This is what happens when you are shamefully ignorant of the history in Palestine. To be an "ardent Zionist" means you have been essentially brainwashed. Many of us have posted many times on his page criticizing his position but to no avail. I'm ashamed that he's a fellow Puerto Rican.
Israel knows their long bipartisan support in the US Congress is evaporating. But Netanyahu is so guilty of corruption he’s upending it to carry on an unpopular war. He’s a cornered rat.
You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing!!
I'd applaud but all I can think is what took them so long?
Incredible to me that it has taken photos of starving children for many people to realise what has been happening in Gaza. The IDF started the slaughter in October 2023.
What a dumb asshole.
About time, no, way past time! Too little too late!
About fucking time.
It has gone beyond justice. It has gone beyond revenge.
Isn’t it netanyahu? I’d bet half of ISRAEL doesn’t like what netanyahu is doing. What’s so wrong about that? Eh? REPUBLICANS? What’s so wrong about disagreeing with a madman?
Israel is killing these children. The fact that the food trucks are being broken into inside Israel, shows you Israel is giving it to their own people and not the Palestinians.
Fuck this guy. He’s spent the past year calling people antisemitic and blocking them for even the slightest criticism of Israel and now he’s worried he’ll lose the election and all of the money he gets for AIPAC so he’s pretending to give a fuck about Gaza. I hope he loses.
Did the last check not cash?
Support for Israel has been bipartisan for Decades. It’s the American foreign policy position. Are you capable of unbiased reporting,
Fuck these guys. This is like if someone threw a baby out the window from the 10th floor, and you keep on supporting the baby thrower and don't start complaining about the baby possibly dying until it's almost hit the ground.
Oh reallly????? Look how many voted to give money to the warm criminal!!!!!!
Finally! But it's too late for the dead. Move fast, please!
About time. No nation-state should receive unqualified support. People not starving, sure, but not nations.
Israel is a terrorist state and the Gaza situation is a Genocide that rivals Nazi Germany treatment of Jews.
Dems have a very low rating. They are servants of the corporatocracy and the Zionist. And again that's the reason many Dems have not yet endorsed Zohran Mamdani. Democrats and Republicans are the same to me.
Torres isn’t having a moral awakening, he’s checking the polling data. Nothing sharpens a politician’s ‘principles’ like watching their career flash before their eyes. Welcome to the ‘Oh shit, Gaza is my Vietnam’ phase of electoral calculus.
None of this stops until he’s out! Call your reps & demand a town hall Ask how long they are going to run cover for trumps sex trafficking Call your reps every day & GOP leaders 202-224-3121 Tell them to remove Trump by impeachment/treason charges Need help use 5calls.org Also Runforsomething.net
American jews, in support of Netanyahu tried to snatch away the diploma of a graduate who spoke out. Which country do you want to live in Jews? America or Israel. If the later, get out!
Israeli fascist destroying food in front of starving Palestinians while the IDF acts a security: From last year.
The IDF and their para-militaries are targeting anyone trying to tell the story of what is going on in Israel:
Ultimately, Israel is promoting ethnic cleansing to remove anyone who isn't Jewish from Israel. If you support this, then you are a POS. You are not an American. Mine have been here since 1632: get out!
If you are American jew you must choose: Israel or America. Netanyahu is supported by the majority in Israel. He is a blood-thirsty fascist.
Too late! Biden and the corp. dems were afraid to offend Jews with conflicted loyalties. If you can't support the United States: get out!
Dems can't support genocide
I’ve just found out something utterly Insidious that TRUMP flew under the radar,… In APRIL during a UN vote on supporting the 🔆HUMAN RIGHTS TO FOOD🔆… AMERICA & ISRAEL were the only 2 countries to vote AGAINST IT‼️ 😳😔😡 This literally means, that -to a LEADER who’s morals and empathy MAY BE LACKING …
HOLDING of food can be used as a ❗️CONTROL❗️…..and EVEN TORTURE‼️ As North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un does! Trump Likes the leadership Kim Jong UN has with his people😳‼️ www.facebook.com/share/v/16Tu...
I say we get our grubby hands out of foreign countries affairs period. We shouldn’t be funding someone else’s war, let alone both sides.
