During his acceptance speech for the JFNA ‘Courageous Leadership Award’, Rep. Ritchie Torres said that freedom as a black Latino from New York is intertwined with Israel.

He said that antisemitism needs to be fought everywhere and that it’s progressive to stand for Israel and its right to defend itself.

He then quoted a passage from the Torah engraved on the Liberty Bell, which he interpreted to mean, that freedom is only attained when everyone is free.
