6:17 P.M. — We have some Blue on Blue action. Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) rips far-left Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Cori Bush (D-MO) for their “reprehensible and repulsive” statements regarding Hamas’s terror attack on Israel.
“U.S. aid to Israel is and should be unconditional, and never more so than in this moment of critical need,” Torres tells Jewish Insider. “Congress must act decisively to provide Israel with whatever it needs to defend itself in the face of unprecedented terrorism.”
.@RepRitchie responds to comments from Reps. Bush and Tlaib on the situation in Israel. “Shame on anyone who glorifies as “resistance” the largest single-day mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. It is reprehensible and repulsive.”

RELATED: Bodies of 260 revellers killed in festival massacre are piled on top of each other as horrific Hamas attack aftermath is laid bare: Survivors describe terrorists going ‘tree by tree’ executing victims – with father who rushed to save daughter among missing
Published October 8, 2023
- WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT
- At least 600 people have been killed in Israel since Hamas launched its attack
Bodies of young revellers were seen piled up on top of each other in makeshift tents last night as emergency workers tried to identify the 260 festival-goers killed at an Israeli music festival by Hamas terrorists in a shock attack.
The distressing image, shared in a pixelated form on the Israeli government’s official Twitter page, showed scores of victims placed in body bags at the site of the ‘beautiful party’ that turned into a horrific massacre.
Footage from the aftermath shows empty festival tents and abandoned cars strewn frantically across the road leading to the Supernova Festival, that had been taking place near Kibbutz Re’im, close to the Gaza Strip.
Many terrified victims had fled across the sand on foot to their cars in an attempt to drive away from the horrors, only to be met with gunfire from armed gunmen piled into jeeps going ‘tree by tree’ in attempt to shoot people.
On Saturday Israel suffered a wave of lethal attacks as the Palestinian militant group rampaged through the country’s towns killing at least 700 people, with dozens being abducted.
Music at the deadly rave, which survivors said initially had ‘good vibes’, played all night until round 6.30am when a siren began blaring warning of rockets. Hamas terrorists then cut the electricity as rockets flew overhead and jeeps filled with gunmen ran onto the site.
Terrifying footage shows partygoers screaming as shots are fired while police are seen trying to help people evacuate. Some are seen holding hands as they run away while others shout ‘go, go, go’.
Survivors of the attack said they were forced to hide under bushes as they watched victims get killed one by one, until they heard the sound of people rescuers speaking in Hebrew. According to Israeli media, it took five hours for military to arrive.
Confirming the horror, the Israeli rescue service Zaka said it had recovered at least 260 bodies that will be removed from the festival site.
Meanwhile distraught relatives, hoping to find their loved ones, were asked to bring personal items such as combs and toothbrushes belonging to their missing children to help emergency services begin the grim task of matching DNA to bodies found.
It comes as a senior Hamas official said last night that the militant group is holding more than 100 people captive following its attack on Israel. The attack has sparked fierce fighting killing and wounding thousands of people on both sides.
