Episode 6: Why won't Israel fight for the Democrats? With Rep. Ritchie Torres

Abandoning the Democrats is a losing strategy for Israel, says Rep. Ritchie Torres, perhaps the most outspoken supporter of Israel in the US House of Representatives. The fight over Israel inside American politics is a proxy for a much larger battle over the future of the Democratic Party and the character of America, he argues. Those who don't like Israel, he says, tend to take a dim view of the promise of America.


And who is Clarence Jones, and why does Torres consider him "the greatest living American?"
