Anti-Israel protesters vandalise Democrat congressman’s office with paint

The Bronx Palestine Solidarity Committee claimed credit for the vandalism.

Posting photos of the damage on X/Twitter, Torres said: “On Christmas Day, anti-Israel extremists vandalised my Bronx Office with red paint, symbolising blood.

“Covered in “blood” is a doll meant to symbolise Jesus, whom the vandals describe as a “Palestinian child messiah.”

“The escalation in intimidation and incitement against Members of Congress feels like it is heading in a dangerous direction.

“I, for one, will not be intimidated.”

Torres has emerged as one of Congress’ staunchest advocates for Israel in the wake of the October 7 attack, voicing his opposition to advocates’ calls for a ceasefire in the region.

He has also denounced the spread of antisemitism on American college campuses.
