"It's a good rule never to show solidarity with people who would murder you."
Israel: State of a Nation
Congressman Ritchie Torres emphasizes the importance of discerning solidarity partnerships, particularly in politically charged environments where groups may harbor intentions detrimental to one's safety. Discussing on the podcast 'State of a Pod,' Torres underlines the precedence of self-preservation and advocacy against aligning with those who might exhibit violent tendencies towards others. This viewpoint reflects his stance on maintaining caution and critical assessment in forming alliances, especially in the context of antisemitism and pro-Israel advocacy.
