I professionally represent this country. I have had to defend it to thousands of people over the past 10 years. It is always easy to tell when someone who has an opinion doesn't actually know facts they just have grievance. Because they never propose solutions they always attack.

So, let's review: When Israel went too far in Gaza, our leaders pretended there'd be consequences if they continued. Since then, Israel has received about $20 billion of our money, all the protests against them have been shut down, their participants arrested and the House passed

War either ends via negotiation or force. Biden has told Israel it can't use force, and those we're negotiating with are genocidal maniacs bent on blowing everything up.

Biden is like that girl you take to the dance. Only she keeps cheating on you with this frat bro named Michigan who just wants some action and will never commit.

Lost in today's news cycle is the clear pain our Yemeni, Persian, and Lebanese cousins are going through, seeing flags of terrorist organizations that have destabilized their countries now waved as some sort of form of protest on US campuses. Stand strong.

@akoslows88 This is a bit of an explainer of the concept of the first 2 I did. Have done quite a few since!

Instead of a day of Jihad, I thought why not trade up for a day of dialogue? I donned my uniform and spent the day in Washington Square Park engaging in a dialogue about the issues that people cared about as the war unfolds, causing so much pain for so many. I firmly believe that

1. I am pro free speech 2. I am against selective enforcement of private university campus rules when it comes to different groups These two can coexist and it is #2 that many feel is the issue here. Let's be civil and keep this honest

So many people would lose purpose in their lives today if you removed their ability to wake up looking for something or someone to hate.

Having been assaulted multiple times at these protests by masked young men and women who told me very proudly they were students, I don't really believe it. But it's a crazy excuse

There is only one response to hatred that seeks to dehumanize, shame, and expel a people from public view: showing up and standing tall.
