There is no country that is consistently attacked by their enemies + then told to use restraint when defending themselves (despite superior military) more than Israel. I want peace for all innocents in Middle East. I also fully support Israel's right to exist + defend itself.

Remember Shani who was kidnapped and paraded naked on a pickup truck in Gaza?
Israeli soldiers just found her body.
Hamas terrorists beheaded her.
SHARE - Never forget!
I have to say something right now because I won’t be able to live with myself if I don’t. For years, I spoke up for the people of Palestine and their right to self-determination and to live in peace. For years, nobody cared. For years, Iranians have spoken up against their terrorism and brutality at the hands of the IRGC. For years, nobody cared. For years I had felt we shared the same unnerving struggle, which is the world’s indifference to the loss of our lives. Over the past week, however, I’ve seen something that I’m ashamed to say I had never seen before and I can’t believe what it took for me to see it. When Jews are murdered, the world is not just indifferent. Instead, the world rejoices. It celebrates. This is a type of depravity no people should ever have to endure, especially given the barbaric history of persecution since time immemorial. To the Jewish community, you are my brothers and sisters. I am so sorry that I let you down. I am so sorry that you screamed about it for years and I didn’t hear you. I am so sorry I didn’t stand up with you. I am so sorry I pretended not to see the flagrant and hateful anti-semitism. But my eyes are open and I see you now. I hear you. I’m with you, and I promise to never let you down again.
@RicardoBSalinas Don Ricardo. Tuve que salir del país a vivir a EU para poderle dar a mi hijo lo mejor posible con su difícil condición al nacer prematuramente. Le comparto su historia y le pido si me ayuda a compartir esta campaña de el. Un niño guerrero y aferrado https://t.co/qdRCho4p1R
