Iranian Americans in New York and across this country are cheering the United States for finally confronting the savage regime that has tortured, murdered, and terrorized their families for nearly half a century.
The ones screaming in protest are the usual political fanatics on the far left and far right, people so blinded by ideology that they will defend a regime that whips women for showing their hair, executes LGBTQ people from cranes, bankrolls terrorism, and openly calls for America’s destruction.
If you are running interference for that regime, you are not “anti-war.” You are morally hollow. You are choosing tyrants over victims.
New Yorkers stand proudly and unapologetically with the men and women confronting this evil, defending our country and the entire free world.
@NYCMayor Iranian New Yorker here-thank the LORD we have some people in power who have actual brains and critical thinking skills and aren’t sympathizers for terroristic regimes. GOD BLESS AMERICA &THE IRANIAN PEOPLE. Please stay out of topics that don’t concern you and clean up our snow.
I feel like I have to say that I know I might be boring the pants off all you lovely followers with my incessant tweeting and retweeting of the crisis in Israel but I am so alarmed by it all: alarmed at the horror #hamas perpetrated upon innocent people; alarmed at the biased anti-Israel tone of so many media outlets, especially @BBCNews and @SkyNews , the very people whose country fought the Nazis so valiantly; alarmed at the immediate and well-organized pro-Hamas protests that sprung up all over the West; alarmed at govt orgs like @UN who are clearly antisemitic; alarmed at universities’ and students’ embrace of terrorism and oppressive cultures; alarmed at citizens tearing down posters of innocent hostages; alarmed at so many seemingly nice, integrated people, especially in the medical field, revealing genocidal beliefs against Jews; alarmed at law enforcement officers not lifting a hand to stop public calls for violence and death to Jews; alarmed at the silence of supposedly feminist groups who refuse to condemn #Hamas raping women; alarmed at the silence from so many in Hollywood who are normally quick to jump on any social bandwagon. In 2015, “Je Suis Charlie” was on everyone’s lips and social media platforms after the murder of innocents in Paris, particularly at the Charlie Hebdo magazine offices. What has changed? Why is there now such a reluctance to condemn this barbaric and murderous mindset? What are people afraid of? How did so many get brainwashed? Isn’t this something we all need to be deeply concerned about? Or have I just been out of work too long and have too much time on my hands? Looking forward to your serious and thoughtful comments!
Some advice for students:
If an organization of which you are a member puts out a public statement you disagree with, you have a few choices.
You can:
Stay silent and have the entire world conclude that you stand by the statement.
Convince the other members of the group to withdraw or otherwise modify the statement so that it can reflect the views of all members.
Or you can resign in protest.
Claiming that you had no involvement or knowledge of the statement, but remaining a member of the organization without it withdrawing the statement is perhaps the worst of the alternatives, as it appears to simply be an attempt to avoid accountability while continuing to be a member of the organization.
If you were managing a business, would you hire someone who blamed the despicable violent acts of a terrorist group on the victims?
I don’t think so.
Would you hire someone who was a member of a school club who issued a statement blaming lynchings by the KKK on their victims?
I don’t think so.
Would you want them to be an associate at your law firm?
Of course not.
It is not harassment to seek to understand the character of the candidates that you are considering for employment.
In fact, as CEO, it is your obligation to do so on behalf of all of the other employees in your company, the clients and customers it serves, and all of your other stakeholders.
I have heard that the above inquiry has made some members of the groups which put out the statement feel ‘unsafe,’ a word that is sadly overused in universities today.
Ask yourself how unsafe it would feel in Israel beginning Saturday early morning and how unsafe it feels now?
Ask yourself how unsafe your Jewish classmates feel when 32 clubs published a statement assigning sole responsibility for the heinous, deathly acts of terrorists to Israel and the Jews?
Experience is making mistakes and learning from them. If you have made a mistake, acknowledge it, and immediately correct your mistaken actions.
Public statements made by organizations of which you are a member can have a material negative impact on your reputation.
I have learned from experience that the best time to fix a mistake is now.
@AmericanAir my flight was canceled due to American not being able to secure a PILOT (how???), and now they are lying that it was canceled due to weather to avoid paying for my subsequent hotel stay due to their utter idiocy. Unacceptable, disgusting customer service.
