Quotes
Silvia, a Fall River Democrat, said he’s fielded texts and emails criticizing him for taking part in the trip while Israel is being accused of genocide. “The genocide took place on Oct. 7 two years ago,” Silvia said in an interview, referring to the killing Hamas unleashed on Israelis. “There’s a lot of misinformation that we know that exists on the internet. It’s disturbing. If Israel wanted to commit genocide, they can do it in 15 minutes.” (Sep 26, 2025, Amid military escalation in Gaza, Mass. lawmakers traveled to Israel on trip funded by Israeli government, Boston Globe)
