A notorious anti-Israel TikTok star issued a veiled death threat against a pro-Israel congressman, hinting that the politician will not be “alive” several years from now.

Guy Christensen, 19, slammed Rep. Ritchie Torres, a Democratic Congressman from New York who is staunchly pro-Israel, in a video published to his TikTok account on Tuesday.

Christensen’s diatribe appeared to have been triggered by a recent tweet by Torres, in which the politician stated that there is no genocide in the Gaza Strip.

“Now, Ritchie, screenshots are forever, and what you’ve said and done will haunt your family for eternity, as you will eventually, if you’re still alive, end up in a Nuremberg trial,” Christensen said in the clip, while wearing a red and white keffiyeh, a checkered scarf associated with Palestinian nationalism.

“Ritchie is going to keep on meeting … Zionist officials who are wanted for war crimes. So, shame on Ritchie. He is a Zionist scumbag. And I hope the money he sleeps on at night his pajamas blood red. Thank you and free Palestine,” Christensen added.

In an open letter to U.S. Capitol Chief of Police Thomas Manger, Torres urged an investigation of Christensen, saying that his remarks should be investigated as a threat against the congressman’s life.

“The phrase ‘if you’re still alive’ carries a chilling and menacing implication—suggesting that I may be targeted or harmed,” Torres wrote.

“These words raise serious concerns about whether Mr. Christensen is inciting violence or encouraging others to take action against me.”

Torres noted Christensen’s praise for Elias Rodriguez, the gunmen who murdered two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington D.C. last week.

Christensen a “self-proclaimed apologist for violence and terror against anyone who dares to be a Zionist,” Torres wrote.

“He has openly defended the cold-blooded murder of a young Jewish couple and has lionized their murderer as a `resistance fighter.’ He has made it crystal clear that he holds no moral objection to violence against Zionists — a category in which I figure prominently,” he added.
