Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., denounced several student organizations at Harvard University for signing a letter blaming the Israeli government for the violence and death arising from attacks by Hamas, the Washington Examiner reported Monday.
Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization, received financial backing from Iran, a country that had recently seen $6 billion in assets unfrozen by the Biden administration. The attack, which caught Israel off guard, unfolded early Saturday, with militants converging on the Jewish state via land, air, and sea.
"In the coming days," the student groups wrote, "Palestinians will be forced to bear the full brunt of Israel's violence. The apartheid regime is the only one to blame, Israeli violence has structured every aspect of Palestinian existence for 75 years." They called on the Harvard community to take action against what they deemed the "ongoing annihilation of Palestinians.
Torres has positioned himself with a group of Democrats joining the ranks of Republicans in condemning the Hamas attack while offering unwavering support for Israel's right to defend itself against terrorists.
