Rep. Ritchie Torres blasted several student organizations from Harvard University who signed a letter blaming the Israeli government for the violence and death stemming from the Hamas attacks.
The organizations wrote that they"hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding events," saying that millions of Palestinians have been"forced to live in an open-air prison." Israel is the victim of a terrorist attack. Hamas is the perpetrator. It’s as simple as that. There are no “both sides.”
— Ritchie Torres October 9, 2023 Torres is one of several Democrats who have joined most Republicans in condemning the Hamas attack and expressing full support for Israel's right to fight back against the militants. Some Democrats, such as"Squad" members Reps. Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib , are calling for a broader return to order and peace instead of placing blame on either side.
