| In real life, Ritchie Torres is an asshole. The insufferable lawmaker wants to make an example out of pro Palestinian supporters like Mohamed Hadid and his daughters. |
Let me get this straight: You are more upset over words than actions. You are upset someone using their freedom of speech to criticize a foreign country engaged in a propaganda campaign to shield itself from war crimes and impunity. You are upset over people using their voices, their wallets and their time to protest an injustice. Well, get upset over your taxpayer money aiding foreign nations. Get upset over foreign nations killing Americans in a war funded by our taxpayer money. Get upset over the deaths of thousands in Haiti, Chad, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, Venezuela, Myanmar, Mexico, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Ukraine and Palestine. Get upset at your president, your senator, your representative, your governor, your state leader, your mayor and your local junk food media for bowing to the evil regime of Israel.
Could you name one damn thing Israel's done for the United States?
Bella and Gigi Hadid are American models and activists. They are second generation Palestinians by their father Mohamed Hadid, a billionaire real estate developer.
The ladies are actively protesting and are telling the world, they are willing to sacrifice everything to help the Palestinians achieve freedom.
As you know, President Joe Biden, Donald J. Trump, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Congress and the American unk food media are telling only one side of this conflict. They all bow to the helm of the Israeli lobby.
Democrats are not winning the message war when it comes to "protecting democracy."
As we speak, the House passed legislation that aims to ban TikTok. This was included in a nearly $100 billion aid package for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan. The Senate will take up the measure. The lobby has encouraged lawmakers to push for this because they believe that China is trying to steal data. Yet, we allow Alphabet, Meta, X Group and Microsoft to collect our data and use it in purposes unbeknownst to us.
Our American lawmakers are trying to criminalize free speech by defining anti-Zionism as antisemitism. Members of Congress are pushing for criminal charges against protesters who criticize Israel.
They are more upset over protesters than the thousands of lives lost when Israel invaded Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran.

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) is perhaps the most controversial supporter of Israel in the House of Representatives. He is becoming an insufferable lawmaker because of his actions on social media than his action as a legislator.
Torres claims that Mohamed was being a homophobic racist towards him in a social media post. Hadid threatened to end donations to all Democrats because of their support of Israel.
When Hadid replied in a direct message to Torres, the insufferable lawmaker decided to share it on social media where it was picked up by the far right Fox as well as the junk food media in America and Israel.
“You worse than the rats of New York sewage system. They have bigger brains than you. You might get a job as bouncer at gay bar,” Hadid, 75, wrote in one Instagram direct message, adding that the openly gay Afro-Latino Congressman is a “slave to whites.”
Mohamed Hadid’s so-called “apology” is as fraudulent as the man himself. Hadid has been unmasked as a rabid racist to the core, and his pitiful attempt at a “mea culpa” is fooling no one. pic.twitter.com/BkREwCJWTz

If the President of Columbia University cannot lead with moral clarity, then she should step aside for a true leader who can and will.

“You are just unusual Black and colorful mouth for Israeli and AIPAC and looking for payday of over 500K,” Hadid said in another Instagram message, referring to the pro-Israel lobby in Washington.
Torres facing a possible primary challenge from the progressives is raising donations off of this. He claims that Hadid's criticism was racist and homophobic. Torres is openly gay and is an Afro-Latino lawmaker who served the 15th Congressional District of New York since 2021.
Torres told the New York Post that “Mr. Hadid has hurled just about every racist insult at me shorting of calling me the N-word.”
“That Mr. Hadid felt so at ease demonizing and dehumanizing a black Member of Congress reveals a tragic truth about our politics: If you are a person of color and pro-Israel, you are fair game for racist invective,” he added.
Hours after the article was published, Hadid in an Instagram post apologized to the anti-Israel community “for directing the conversation … even for a minute away from Palestine.”
“I need to apologize. Not for the anger I feel but for the words I used to express that anger. I intended to express how Mr. Torres is a shill being used by Israel,” wrote the mogul.
“My feeling after 76 years of being a refugee from the country where I and my ancestors were born and watching a genocide unfold are at an all time high. I am watching United State politicians work as AIPAC messengers of genocide. I used the wrong words to express this anger but the anger is warranted,” he stated.
Torres rejected the apology.
"For the thought crime of supporting Israel in the wake of October 7th, I have been the target of racist rhetoric from Mohamed Hadid. If you have the audacity to be a person of color AND Pro-Israel, you become fair game for racist hate and harassment," Torres wrote.
"The so-called apology is as fraudulent as the man himself. Mr. Hadid has been unmasked as a rabid racist to the core, and his pitiful attempt at a ‘mea culpa’ is fooling no one," Torres said.
Torres is best known for trolling pro Palestinian activists and former U.S. Representative George Santos, the former gay New York Republican who was expelled after he was criminally indicted in a political corruption scandal.
