I am an Israeli living in NYC. I lost family on October 7th and have Gazan friends. I am not afraid of the student protestors, even if I deeply disagree with some of their stances. What I’m afraid of is a world that sees thousands of children being blown up and says nothing.

#CloseGuantanamo 🧵 1 #GITMO20 20 years ago today I was sent to Camp X-Ray, #Guantánamo, shackled to the floor of a transport plane in blackout goggles, mask, and earmuffs. I was 19 yrs old. I thought I was going to die.

We did it! Thanks to PAIN + the book of Patrick Radden Keefe and the other journalists who’ve kept this in the news. Our 1st protest was in the MET 4 years ago + now the MET is the 1st in America to do the right thing! We wait for the other museums who carry their name to follow.
