EXCERPT
Representative Ritchie Torres (D-NY)
Bought for the total amount of:
$ 1,594,637
On a trip to the Jewish state, Richie Torres said he was an '"accidental advocate for Israel," but his advocacy for their ethnic cleansing is no accident, having received over $1.5 million from pro-Israel lobbies in just three years.
With his large buy-off, Torres chooses to ignore the real needs of his constituents in one of the poorest districts in New York to throw his complete support behind gifting Israel with the billions of dollars they needed to genocide the Palestinian people.
Despite an overwhelming call by the American people for the U.S. to stop backing Israel’s genocide campaign in Gaza, U.S. politicians are prioritizing the demands of a foreign entity — Israel — over the interests of the U.S. population. Why? For decades, the Zionist lobby has bought out politicians to pass legislation solidifying U.S. support for Israel. Understanding the Zionist lobby machine is imperative for the liberation of Palestine. This resource page identifies some of the largest players in the Zionist settler-colonial project.
