I know full well the risks.
Shackles. Lovked up in a for-profit prison for months. Mental torture. Lack of contact with family. Perhaps deportation to #Afghanistan.
As a Jew, I don't expect to survive the #Taliban, but neither will survive I under fascism by complying with fascist orders.

Demands that subvert the very constitution of this country.
Demands that put survival against freedom of conscience.
Demands that if I accept will mark my very soul as a collaborator in genocide.
There is nothing more dishonorable.

I specifically specialize in the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible.
Torah, the first five books of Moses, are my obsession.
And I hope to come face to face with the Holy One in the life to come.
I am terrified of missing that.

Am I afraid of ICE? Am I afraid of being locked up?
Am I afraid of the Taliban? Am I afraid of death?
Perhaps.
But I am more afraid of humiliation before G-D.
I support a #FreePalestine 🇵🇸 come what may. 7/n
They cannot dosappear everyone but they hope that if they disappear the weaker members of society, the more powerful will be silenced by fear.
Speak up for Palestinians 🇵🇸. For trans folks 🏳️⚧️. For Black people. For Black women.

Even if you are not part of a community, if fascism targets it, you must defend it.
Our strength comes from our empathy. That feeling that refuses to stand back in the face of oppression. No matter the target.
