To all freedom haters:
I was born in Lebanon — and born again in the United States.
I lived in hell and came to paradise.
I was shot 10 times in my legs and knees. A Jewish Lebanese doctor saved me so I could walk again. I was left to die — but in America, Jews and Christians helped me rebuild my life.
They wanted me to grow up with hate. I found love instead.
I came here with $20 in my pocket. I worked, I struggled, and I succeeded. I built a normal life and a beautiful family.
A Christian gave me the opportunity of a lifetime.
A Jewish lawyer signed a promissory note so I could buy my first home.
A Jewish woman, like a mother to me, brought me a Star of David from Israel — and I still hold it close to my heart.
While some wanted me to stay bitter, America gave me dignity.
That’s why, besides my full-time job, I volunteered for about 15 years as a firefighter and reserve police officer — unpaid — just to say thank you.
You can believe whatever you want. But you will never convince me that Americans and Israelis are not good people.
I stand with America — with people of all religions and none.
And I stand with Israel and the Jewish people.
