I am running for Senate to represent the great state of Michigan—our people, our children, our vibrant communities—not special interests, not lobbyists, and certainly not foreign governments.
Our family home in Bint Jbeil has been destroyed.
A home filled with memories, history, laughter, family gatherings, and generations of stories — reduced to rubble. A home my father worked 30 years on the assembly line at Ford Motor Company to build. Like so many homes across South Lebanon, it was not just stone and concrete. It was part of our identity. Part of our roots. Part of who we are.
What makes it so painful is how easily those who occupy and destroy other people’s lands erase the history of others. Perhaps it is because they do not understand what it means to belong to the land itself. To have roots that go back generations. To have ancestors buried in the soil. To have memories tied to every street, olive tree, and stone wall.
But there is something they will never understand:
You can destroy homes, but you cannot destroy belonging.
You can destroy buildings, but you cannot destroy history.
You can destroy streets, but you cannot destroy identity.
Bint Jbeil lives within us. In our memories. In our culture.
In our families. In our determination to rebuild and return stronger than before.
Our homes may be gone today, but our connection to our land remains unshaken. And one day, by the will and determination of its people, Bint Jbeil will rise again.

The next President of the United States must:
1. Restore the dignity and prestige of the presidency.
2. Rebuild America’s credibility and moral standing on the world stage.
3. End the undue influence of the pro-Israel lobby over American foreign policy and return decision-making to the American people.
4. Reestablish the Constitution as the supreme law of the land and ensure that no individual or institution stands above it.
5. Remove the corrupting influence of money from politics and return our democracy to the people.
6. Hold accountable every corrupt official, insider, and enabler who abused public office for personal gain
Check out this story from Detroit News: Letter: I hate Israel but I don’t hate Jews
A civil rights advocate argues that opposing Israel is not antisemitism.

What happened at the synagogue in West Bloomfield should be condemned. There is no place for violence against children or houses of worship anywhere in the world. Period.
But we also have to be honest if we want real peace.
Reducing every act of rage to “terrorism” or "anti-semitism" without understanding the context will not solve anything. The man involved appears to be someone consumed by grief and anger after losing family members in the war in Lebanon. That does not justify his actions, but it does remind us that violence creates more violence.
For the past two years, the world has watched unimaginable suffering unfold. Tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians — including a staggering number of children — have been killed. Entire families wiped out. Homes, hospitals, and schools destroyed. When people lose everything, the cycle of pain and vengeance only deepens.
Condemning violence here at home must go hand-in-hand with condemning the policies and actions that are fueling so much suffering abroad.
If we truly care about human life, our compassion cannot be selective.
Jewish lives matter. Palestinian lives matter. Every innocent life matters.
We should stand firmly against antisemitism, Islamophobia, and all hatred — while also demanding an end to the violence and policies that continue to devastate innocent people.
Peace will never come through revenge. It will only come through justice, humanity, and the courage to acknowledge the suffering of others.
"I created UpScrolled for all of us. For people who are tired of being shadow banned, for people who don't want their personal data to be shared or sold... who don't want to be surveilled by corporations."
Issam Hijazi, the founder of social media app UpScrolled which promises no censorship, gives details on his Palestinian background and announces that the app has surpassed one million users.

This is what ChatGPT responded when I asked it to clean up a statement.
I understand you want to maintain the original tone and language while making it clearer. However, I need to be direct: the phrase “Zionist Occupied Congress” is widely recognized as an antisemitic conspiracy theory and violates platform guidelines. I can’t rewrite or promote that phrasing.
That said, I can help you express your political frustration or critique of foreign influence in U.S. policy in a way that’s sharp, critical, and within respectful boundaries.
Here’s a cleaned-up version that keeps your critical tone and intent, without crossing into hate speech:
When I ran for the U.S. Senate in 2024, the political establishment knew I was a threat—and they moved to silence me. I was kicked off the ballot by a corrupt machine desperate to protect its power. But in trying to shut me down, they only amplified my voice. I broke the AIPAC taboo. I called out the political intimidation and the undue influence that has warped our government for decades. And by doing so, I helped tear down a wall of fear that kept leaders from confronting the truth: no foreign-backed lobby should control America’s politics. Others followed because someone had to go first. I did—and I would do it again.
“We don’t let those who preach hate define Dearborn. The irony? They walk past a manger, a liquor store, a bar, and even a topless club — and still claim we're under Sharia law. The truth is: Dearborn is a diverse, proud, and welcoming community. And no outsider gets to rewrite that.”
🇱🇧💔 Another unspeakable crime in Lebanon.
In Bint Jbeil, Israel’s bombs brutally took the lives of Shadi Sobhi Sharara and three of his children. His fourth child now fights for life, while his wife lies in critical condition.
This is not “self-defense.” This is not “security.”
This is the deliberate killing of families, the wiping out of generations, and the terrorizing of entire communities.
How many more innocent lives must be stolen before the world speaks up? Silence in the face of these atrocities makes one complicit.
We must raise our voices for Shadi, for his children, and for every victim of this brutality.
