We must match the INTENSITY the other side! Representative Ritchie Torres on Behind the Bima

has everyone dug their heels in so deep right now that if we contact members of Congress do those phone calls matter right now what should we be doing in our community members of Congress are human we have morale and we need motivation we're flooded with hateful calls because of our support to Israel and so I feel like those of us on in the pro-israel community have to be as visibly and vocally pro Israel as the other side is anti-is we have to match the intensity of the other side because in politics intensity is often Destiny and so I would encourage people to engage with their members of Congress Lobby their members of Congress attempt to persuade them if they're wavering or if they're on the wrong side of the issue and then provide moral support to your allies we're not for the moral support that I've gotten from the Jewish Community this moment would be an emotional struggle for me because I've paid a heavy political and personal price and what has sustained me has been the outpouring of gratitude and support from the Jewish community [Music]
