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. This event
left many within the intelligence community baffled, as it raised questions
about the apparent failure of world-class surveillance and intelligence
agencies to detect the invasion.
In
response to a letter signed by more than 30 Harvard student groups blaming
Israel, Torres posted on
X: "Israel
is the victim of a terrorist attack. Hamas is the perpetrator. It's as simple
as that.
There are no 'both sides.'"
The
Harvard organizations believe the Israeli government bore full responsibility
for the invasion, asserting that millions of Palestinians were living in an
"open-air prison."
"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."
In
response, Torres wrote, "Here you have 30+ student organizations from
Harvard University, blaming the victims, Israelis, for their own murder, rape,
and abduction, rather than blaming the perpetrator, Hamas, for murdering,
raping, and abducting them."
"Demonizing
Israel — to the point of denying the humanity of Israeli victims and the
inhumanity of their perpetrators — is moral confusion masquerading as moral
clarity."
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.
But
some, including members of the Squad of far left-wing Democrats such as Reps.
Cori Bush, D-Mo., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., took a different stance by advocating
for a broader return to order and peace, refraining from assigning blame to
either side.
"The
path to that future must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation,
and dismantling the apartheid conditions that can lead to resistance," Tlaib
said in a statement Sunday, according to the Examiner. "As long as our
government provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid
government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will continue."
At
the highest levels of the U.S. government, President Joe
Biden and
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin have assured Israeli leaders of the unwavering
support of the United States. They pledged to provide additional aid in the
coming days.
