The District Attorney race in Travis County/Greater Austin is among the most important this cycle. Everyone able should vote by March 5th. Watch this video and read the following to understand why – and share with others.

A Palestinian friend asked me to post this. His cousin in Gaza shared a video of how Hamas gunmen go around stealing humanitarian assistance meant for the population. It’s not just a terrorist organization vs Israelis. It’s also a mafia subjugation of its own citizens.
A Muslim Bedouin Citizen of Israel saved 14 lives of Jewish Israelis by hiding them in his store when Hamas was committing the massacre on Oct 7. Countless stories of bravery from the Muslim Israeli community that stood by their Jewish brethren and are owed love and support.

A few days ago, a news publication reported on a group of Jewish leaders that self-organized to fight antisemitism and expose the crimes that Hamas is committing not just against Israel but also against the Palestinian people and the world. That part is correct. Sadly in today’s

Thanks for bringing compassion and a commitment to public safety to Austin. And thanks for being committed to unite Austin and Travis County and transcend petty politics and ideological extremism.
The anti-American, anti-Western, anti-Israel, antisemitic extremism from the fringe radicals exposes how shallow and corrupt these rígid ideologies are. It hurts those they proclaim to defend. Hate begets hate. Builders need to overcome it.
This is what ‘peaceful’ protesting is? Trying to dehumanize, denigrate, isolate, terrorize and trigger students that are there to study and walk in their campus? Why is this still going on? Why are these people allowed to wear masks? Why haven’t they been expelled or jailed?

In my American high school, I had classmates who would criticize the U.S. President off-handedly. They never worried that doing so might create trouble or even
I can confirm this is all consistent with what I know from 30 years of working to advance Arab Israeli relations including Palestinian Israeli peace including from team members in Gaza that Hamas is preventing from being evacuated

Also important to note how foreign governments are using social media to divide us. Tons of the radical ‘comments’ here are bots. You click on them and see they have virtually no followers but are following a ton of people.
Clear as water. It eludes me why those University Presidents couldn’t answer with similar moral clarity and a modicum of empathy. I have to conclude they are unfit for leadership and they lead in an environment of rigid stupidity and antisemitic animosity.
Universities need to draw a bright line between free speech and hate speech.
Proposing violence is the definition of hate speech. Calls for genocide against Jews—or Muslims, or any group—are unacceptable.
Campus policy should be clear: Diversity of thought. Unity against hate.
We are responsible for how our own behaviors, perceptions & misperceptions shape our society. I wrote in

People with different views increasingly perceive the “other side” as the problem when, in fact, our partnership is the solution.
Being resistant to people and ideas that challenge us, and believing we are further apart on issues than we really are, makes conflicts inevitable
I hope everyone can take a minute to read this letter which is representative of what Jewish students are experiencing on campuses across the world. Resulting from the intentional dehumanization that extremist groups with absolutist goals are pursuing, this is an agenda that
We applaud the Jewish students at Columbia University who wrote a powerful, brave, and important statement as antisemitism spirals out of control on campuses across the nation. Their voices are crucial and should be heard by everyone discussing these campus protests. Now, more
Read last Tweets by Pittsburgh synagogue shooter. HIAS is Jewish org protecting refugees, to spare others from fate suffered by Jews who couldn’t escape Hitler. Racist dog whistles+demonize all immigrants+defend neo Nazis+hate political opponents = consequence!
#StopHate
Anyone that denies the humanity of an entire group should face consequences. That this person says people who support Israel’s right to exist don’t deserve to live has scores of people following them is so wrong….
This is a perfect encapsulation of the campus protests: They demand for a safetyist standard of protection for themselves from which to spew hate at Jews. Yet to encourage Jewish students to see themselves as made "unsafe" by such a person is a crime against Jewish history.

Extremist ideology not only hurts a society’s enemies, but also eventually attacks from within & harms the society from which it originated. It saddens but doesn't surprise me to see this phenomenon starting to haunt American democracy.

It's uncomfortable to question the ideas that are popular within our groups. We fear judgment, rejection & even public ridicule. But we do one another a disservice by not choosing relentless curiosity – the search for the best ideas – over tribal loyalty.
#curiosity
I’ve spent 30 years trying to build bridges between Israelis & Palestinians. We need to understand that this cannot be a conflict of Israelis vs. Palestinians or Muslims vs. Jews or Left vs. Right. It is about Moderates vs. Extremists - Builders vs. Destroyers.
I recall when we moved from Mexico to the USA in 1984 how much I was in awe of the way America ensured respectful transitions of power. This letter from GHWBush to BClinton is one elegant example of putting country above self and above party

In my office, I keep the products from my first company that represent my biggest failures. As long as you're in tune with yourself & open to learning from them, failures can hold better lessons than any successes. I keep these close as reminders of what I learned along the way.
I have always observed America, both while growing up in Mexico and also throughout my life as a proud American citizen, to be a lead exporter of positive values.
We have often paved the way for advances in social justice, democracy, and innovation.

There's a difference between being nice and being kind.
A nice person doesn’t bully people, but a kind person stands up against the bully. A nice person doesn’t cause problems, but a kind person solves problems.
Kindness requires strength, courage, honesty, and authenticity.
I love how Shark Tank teaches us all - young and old - about entrepreneurship. Even before I was a guest shark I watched every week with my kids.
