Rep. Monica De La Cruz (R-TX) claimed “pro-Hamas activists” vandalized her district office in Texas on Thursday, stating that the vandals “will not intimidate or silence me.”
“The pro-Hamas activists who have vandalized my office may disregard the importance of standing with our Jewish brothers and sisters during their darkest hour, but I do not,” De La Cruz said. “My support for Israel and the Jewish community is, always has been, and always will be unwavering.”

“I make no apologies for standing firmly against anti-Semitism,” she continued.
Photos of the vandalism showed “Israel kills Jews too” written on the district office’s windows, and there appeared to be sheets with red markings stating “Monica Murders” and “Israel is doing genocide and you support it.”
“You can’t escape your crimes Monica,” the alleged vandals wrote on the concrete outside the office.
De La Cruz said she had been in touch with local rabbis to assure them that they have “my full support.”
“We stand against hate and violence in all its forms and remain committed to the safety and well-being of all our residents,” the Texas Republican said. “An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us, and such abhorrent behavior has no place in our community, our state, or our nation.”

Republicans have been united in their pro-Israel sentiments since Hamas launched its attacks on Oct. 7 against the Jewish state. The GOP conference has slammed some House Democrats for calling for a ceasefire and an end to the “occupation” of Israel.
The Hamas-controlled Health Ministry in Gaza reported the Palestinian death toll has surpassed 10,000. On the Israeli side, about 1,400 people have died — most of whom were civilians killed in the Oct. 7 attacks.
