I’m not afraid of those sending threats & antisemitic comments. I’m a Jew on my feet, not on my knees. The proud granddaughter of a man who joined the Army as a Ritchie Boy to fight Nazis killing his family. I will always stand for what is right. You don’t intimidate me at all.

Tmw marks 2 years for me with @VandenbergCo . At that time, pre-launch, we had two staff, no office, no website, & only a small # of experts, but we did have an important mission that we & others believed in. Proud to see @VandenbergCo still going strong and growing.

The most beautiful song on TTPD, which will likely receive little attention, is Robin. It’s about a parent’s love for a child, and for those who have had to keep illness, terror, or other heartache from children — or whose parents did for them — suspect it will be a great comfort

Utterly vile. “At Yale, protesters erected an altar to Walid Daqqa—a Palestinian terrorist convicted for his role in the 1984 murder of an Israeli soldier—as well as tributes to Leila Kahled, the first Palestinian woman to hijack an airplane.”

Unfortunately, I can fathom it. Universities, especially the “elite” schools, are increasingly morally bankrupt, and so consumed with attempts to be “politically correct” they are unable to make simple distinctions between right and wrong.

Instead, Harvard is being defined by the morally unconscionable statement apparently coming from two dozen student groups blaming all the violence on Israel. I am sickened. I cannot fathom the Administration’s failure to disassociate the University and condemn this statement.

This statement isn’t true. Violence on any side is not acceptable. However, physically blocking Jewish students, holding them against their will, & beating them unconscious isn’t peaceful & this is a misrepresentation of events. Misinformation like this puts all students at risk.

These were peaceful protests until thugs, claiming to represent pro-Israel sentiment, attacked the pro-Palestinian protests. This is on UCLA and their failure of basic safety precautions. I am solely focused now, then, on these students not getting hurt.

👇 If you can’t do this — implement the policy of the President — serving the country is not right for you, no matter the issue. Public service isn’t about you. Also goes for Hill staff. The fawning over them like they’re some kind of heroes is nuts. They’re closer to narcissists

Beyond belief. In many Jewish homes, the conversation rn is do we leave when they start breaking windows & burning stores? That’s when many left Germany, & the others didn’t survive. Not meant to be hyperbolic, but to convey what many families are feeling & how serious this is.

So did this one. Jewish children should know the history of Ritchie Boys, Bielski partisans, Hannah Senesh & many others who fought. And since the creation of the State of Israel, the Jewish people no longer have to depend on anyone else for defense & survival— and they don’t.
