Read on Twitter
I gotta share something with you. It’s a bit heavy so forgive me for that. But it’s important and I felt I need to share it today.
After Ari (My older brother) was murdered, there were countless tweets and FB posts from really really horrible people celebrating his murder. Why? Because they disagreed with his politics. Can you imagine what that felt like for me to read?
Each tweet and post like that felt like a dagger to my heart. I realize that they were sick people who wrote them but it still hurt like hell. It is not normal or moral behavior to celebrate the death of anyone with very few exceptions.
Sheldon Adelson died today. He was a father, a husband, a philanthropist, and much more. He donated millions to so many great causes and yes, to political candidates too. The amount of hatred on the internet right now is so beyond vile.
The man has a wife, kids, a family. And there are so many tweets celebrating his death. It makes me physically ill. Literally. Please, whoever you are, whatever your opinions are, think what damage your words can do.
Anyway, I’m sure these tweets hit me harder because of Ari but either way, think, people, think. Words are very powerful. The man is dead. Let him Rest In Peace.
