In this moment, we must be clear:
We stand with Israel.
And we will make sure Israel has what it needs to take care of its citizens, to defend itself, and to respond to this attack.
Personal Thoughts:
(not for everyone, feel free to skip)
For the longest time, I struggled with my identity.
A Palestinian kid born inside Israel. Like…wtf.
Many of my friends refuse to this day to say the word “Israel” and call themselves “Palestinian” only.
But since I was 12, that did not make sense to me.
So I decided to mix the two and become a “Palestinian-Israeli”
I thought this term reflected who I was.
Palestinian first. Israeli second.
But after recent events, I started to think.
And think.
And think.
And then my thoughts turned to anger.
I realized that if Israel were to be “invaded” like that again, we would not be safe. To a terrorist invading Israel, all citizens are targets.
900 Israelis died so far. More than 40 of them are Arabs. Killed by other Arabs. And even 2 Thai people died too.
And I do not want to live under a Palestinian government.
Which means I only have one home, even if I’m not Jewish:
Israel.
That’s where all my family lives. That’s where I grew up. That’s the country I want to see continue to exist so I can exist.
Palestine should exist too as an independent state. And I hope to see the country thrive and become less extreme and more prosperous. I love Palestine and have invested in Palestine.
But it’s not my home.
So from today forward,
I view myself as an “Israeli-Palestinian”.
Israeli first.
Palestinian second.
Sometimes it takes a shock like this to see so clearly.

Camden Dream Center provides #STEM education to prepare students—of all ages and backgrounds—for technology career opportunities. What a success story! https://t.co/axqSZWth9S
Powering an inclusive future for all isn't easy; the tech industry has lagged in attracting/developing/retaining diverse talent. (Ex. Black Americans account for 14% of the U.S. population but hold only 7% of tech jobs.)
This is where @CiscoNetAcad helps: https://t.co/Wo1bkJ4NkQ
Bridging the digital divide by targeting learners from underserved communities, one of the program’s proudest partnerships is with the @CamdenCDC, a community-focused organization in southern N.J.
In addition, we're offering the opportunity for Ukrainian organizations to participate in Talos' threat hunting program. Interested? Reach out via our social channels: https://t.co/gFU0nLkBIz, https://t.co/LilHUHCozo
#ICYMI: #Ukraine, since the first days of the Russian invasion, has been working diligently to shore up its #cybersecurity infrastructure. Our @TalosSecurity team is offering free services to Ukrainians in need of cybersecurity protection: https://t.co/4kzPCmNgIN
By 2025 #ransomware and cyber crime are going to cost the global economy $10.5T (yes, with a T).
@TalosSecurity video on ransomware and threat hunting is a great primer, so fortunate to have these 400 brilliant minds on our side fighting evil: https://t.co/cIuzMsRGXP #CiscoSecure
Proud that @Cisco has committed to train 200K students over the next 3 years. In fact, the @CiscoNetAcad has trained 2MM students already with networking & #cybersecurity skills in partnership with nearly half of community & technical colleges and #HBCUs: https://t.co/UjTz5MrWhU
My heart goes out to the Royal Family and everyone affected by the passing of Her Majesty the Queen. Her steadfast leadership through historic times leaves a lasting legacy that will forever be remembered. Rest in peace.
Congrats @RajGulani, @Chandrodayap, and the entire team on @Frost_Sullivan's 2022 Global Secure Web Gateway Enabling Technology Leadership Award!

This book made for an amazing bedtime read with my first grader.
So refreshing and empowering. I literally saw her eyes light up with every page!
Thank you, @ChelseaClinton!
#CISOs are beginning to shy away from implementing one product to fix one problem: https://t.co/QEdlELPVbJ
With thousands of #security vendors out there, what we need is an open platform with no cloud lock in...
@TalosSecurity How did our Talos team do this? Through public IP addresses, as well as by obtaining the login locations used to administer servers. Great job team Talos!
Our @TalosSecurity pros continue to demonstrate industry leadership! Case in point: The #Talos team succeeded at identifying crucial threat actor infrastructure of #ransomware groups, known to use the dark web to conceal their illicit activities. https://t.co/0nDHAwdKIQ
