US Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) slammed reports blaming Israel for “causing an escalation” in the Middle East by eliminating Hezbollah leader Fuad Shukr and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
“Since October 7th, Hezbollah has fired 7,000 drones, missiles, and rockets at Israel,” Torres stated. “Yet Israel is the one accused of ‘escalation.'”
“Israel may be the only nation on earth that would be accused of escalation after daring to defend itself against 7,000 mass murder attempts by the world’s most heavily armed terrorist organization.”
“The absurdity of the double standard has become too glaring to ignore. Yet ignored it continues to be.”
Axios reported that US President Joe Biden demanded that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu stop escalating tensions in the Middle East in a “tough” phone call on Friday.

B”H! Some people still have a logical mind!
He will make a great Secretary of State in a Harris Administration.
I wonder if he hit the nail on the head because he is also minority who is “picked on”
We are grateful to this man and others like him for stating the truth and not caving in to lies. May G-d bless you.
Dorah,
Only you could come up with such a sick “bracha”. What a curse if the horse-faced, hyena laughing, pali-loving dolt ever has the opportunity to coopt Mr. Torres’ pro-Israel support as a fig leaf for her wicked anti-Semitism. Just like the useless turd Brandon used Blinky’s Jewishness to repeatedly stab Israel in the back.
Dopy: Sorry you are having a bad day. If it makes you feel any better, so is your MAGA hero since he learned that several polls now show him losing to Harris.
Actually, Richie Torres is too smart to be used as a fig-leaf by anyone and I’m fairly certain will have a high-level position in the incoming Harris administration.
Dorah,
“Dopy” is you shilling for the useless turd of a corpse for four years. “Kapo” is you now defending the dimwitted pali-lover as somehow good for Jews and Israel.
The world will be a clean and happy place when your own boomerang curse takes you to a sizzling hot eternity. It can’t happen soon enough!
Boomerangs can take really strange twists and curves….and yes, the temperature down here is relatively high, but as they say in Arizona, “its a dry heat”
I’m sure you are sitting in front of your screen breathlessly waiting to hear who will be our next VP. The announcement (via video) should be made momentarily.
Dorah,
Big surprise, the horse-faced, hyena laughing dimwitted pali-lover didn’t pick the Jew.
You self-fulfilling boomerang curse is going to send you to a much hotter place than Arizona.
