There seems to be quite the double-standard towards politicians who support Israel vs. those who oppose Israel. Whereas anti-Israel Democrats are largely praised for their bravery and outspoken activism, Israel supporters receive a different response.
Enter Glenn Greenwald.
That @RitchieTorres was elected to represent the US's poorest Congressional district -- only to elevate devotion to Israel as his top priority -- is highly illuminating, but requires teams of political scientists, sociologists, psychologists, and anthropologists to understand. https://t.co/hDjzBp0AcV

Whatever happened on his propaganda trips to Tel Aviv really worked well. Whichever Israeli officials designed and oversaw those deserve a major year-end bonus for a job well done.

Ritchie Torres has been obsessively talking about the importance of Israel, and the need for the US to use Americans' resources to fund and pay for Israel's wars, for many years now. This is from the NYT:https://t.co/ZxYkyb73CY pic.twitter.com/1P9j88Lyi7

Wow.
Alrighty then. Let's dig into this mess.
Glenn hates that someone in our government is standing up for Jews domestically and internationally. Glenn's hatred of Israel is grotesque and revealing.

In the next tweet Glenn suggests that @RitchieTorres was either brainwashed or bought by Israel. https://t.co/JWg3Hwge87
Ok, but aren't you the one complaining that a Democrat is supporting Israel?
Some conservatives get quite angry when it's pointed out that politicians they're conditioned to hate most and to see as "the left" -- Biden, Hillary, Chuck Schumer, most Dem Senators, etc. -- are vehemently pro-Israel and want US resources used to fund Israel's wars.👇 https://t.co/UyHTrwK3OT pic.twitter.com/oXJ8IqQF6K

Ridiculous. This is the biggest story of the day. His colleagues, including AOC in the neighboring district, have been equally vocal, in support of the Hamas narrative of course.

Why is it only @RitchieTorres’s stand on principle that irks you so much?
The vast majority of… https://t.co/PUqXiX2U3n

You really should do some basic research about his district before accusing the Israelis of brainwashing a US lawmaker. You’re making a complete fool of yourself.

I wonder, does Glenn ever say similar about Rashida Tlaib or Ilhan Omar? Hypocrisy much? https://t.co/bGSpSLly1z

What?? Ritchie Torres is standing against terrorism & Hamas. What does the poorest district have to do w/this? There’s something about this tweet that feels nefariously anti Jewish.
— Teach (@always4life1011) November 26, 2023
Glenn, it’s one thing to be anti war, but 2 be a terrorist apologist is something else entirely https://t.co/tyUkkAcGJI
So let me get this straight: a U. S. Representative should say absolutely nothing when Hamas is holding American citizens hostage? What a strange position you are taking on this Glenn.

Of course, anti-Israel activists known just what Glenn is talking about. Shocking, we know.
Pro-Israel donations - Ritchie Torres got $342,017 - account make it easy to understand why the 368 Congress members who received them put Israel ahead of their constituents. https://t.co/GGtuyecv9J

Sorry Glenn, all these academics aren't needed, it's #AIPAC & the Zionist elite that form a majority of the US planners & think tanks. https://t.co/Qtb5zn9toy

Self-interest and keeping their seats dictate politicians' actions.
— Ákin (@itsaykay) November 26, 2023
Torres probably sees the route to his re-election by holding tight to Zionist interests. https://t.co/hG1d34T1A7
The answer is quite simple, these seats are bought and paid for by AIPAC. https://t.co/DeZuTxzJZY

Odd how it's always about money and brainwashing when it comes to being pro-Israel, but compassion and human rights advocacy when it comes to being anti-Israel.
So weird.
