Having a reaction doesn't mean you can't handle your sh*t. It means you have a nervous system that is responsive to what happens to it & its past conditioning-- just like every other human.
You are not "crazy" or "weak." Don't believe old programming that says you are.
Six years ago, a gunman armed with an AR-15, handguns, and hatred killed 11 Jewish worshippers and wounded six at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh.
Today, we remember and come together to ensure Antisemitism and hate in all its forms have no safe harbor in America.

Nasrallah was *my* terrorist.
Each one of us grows up watching a terrorist on TV threatening to kill us.
For many Americans, it was Osama Bin Laden.
For me, it was Nasrallah.
I grew up in Northern Israel.
Every few years, Nasrallah would target us with a barrage of rockets. His rockets would be directed at nearby Jewish towns, but of course they miss and fall in Muslim towns in Israel. My town was one of them.
Imagine the irony.
US college students can not understand this.
*My* terrorist is dead today. It's great news not just for me, but for many Syrians, Lebanese, Saudis, and..Israelis.
I am naively optimistic.
But I hope today sends a signal to people in the Middle East that moderation, acceptance of reality and coexistence is the only way.
Terrorism way will always end up in failure. Always.
Even if it takes 32 years to arrive.
