עם ישראל חי

The people of Israel Live.

Iran has attacked Israel.

I’m dreading going to the New Mexico State University campus because of the antisemitism the support for terrorists, and the hate criminal in my painting class. There are no Jewish organizations on campus. Jewish on Campus and ADL are only interested in headlines, and there are no headlines for helping a handful of Jews at a university. I have never felt so alone or so afraid for my safety. I have never felt so afraid for Israel.

I dread going to class on Tuesday. I dread the crap I’m likely to get from the hate criminal. I dread knowing I’m responsible for my own safety because the campus police, who are very good at hunting down minors in possession of alcohol or marijuana, don’t investigate hate crimes. I dread having to deal with an administration that allows and tacitly approves of antisemitism and welcomes pro-hamas demonstrations. That’s why I’m always armed when I’m on campus.

I am sad that no one at my temple will give me any support. Even the rabbi is silent.

I am alone.

I am pissed off.

I am armed.
