Free the Hostages

---

I cannot sit by silently watching the rise of anti-semitism and vitriolic hatred in the USA, and other countries. 

My father gave his life fighting the Nazis, he died fighting for what is moral, just and right, and I can do no less.  My uncle was in the British Army during 1947 helping establish the Israeli State, and I have a Jewish member of our family, therefore I stand with Israel's right to defend itself from the sneak horrendous attack on October 7, 2024, and demand that the hostages be freed.

I was sick to my stomach listening to these radical anti-Israel protestors chanting "death to America," on university campuses, which is tantamount to treason.  These professional radicals indoctrinating the minds of young and malleable students should be locked up to prevent them from spreading their hatred.  

NEVER AGAIN!

Professor Alan Dershowitz is suing, pro bono, the anti-Israel students and outside instigators who have denied the Jewish students their civil rights of being able to attend class.  $95,000 tuition for an education at Columbia and they can't get to class.  This reminds me of Germany 1933.

He is going after the money that is permitting and encouraging these uprisings causing anarchy.

He is filing class-action lawsuits and has asked for other lawyers wishing to help to contact him and wants the names of the students who were denying the Jewish students entry into their classrooms at Columbia.  They must be held accountable for their illegal actions.

I am the first person, as a writer, to protect free speech, but they have overstepped the line with their trespassing, defacing property, holding janitors against their will, and violence.  

The evil doers think their aggressive propaganda will convince decent citizens that Antifa will win, but it is having the opposite effect as we focus on the hostages. This orchestrated chaos has only opened Pandora's Box on the political front.  If anything, people are united in sympathy for the Jewish cause.

I was shocked seeing signs on the defaced walls "Latinos for Intefada."  Send these punks to Communist Cuba and Venezuela and let them learn how much freedom of speech they have in a repressive society where they have no rights.

Let's focus on freeing the five Americans still held hostage and the others suffering without their medications and loss of their loved ones.
