What we’ve all witnessed is evil personified. Israelis and Jewish Americans have known for decades that this brutality could occur, but these are the events of nightmares. As a former NYPD Detective, I’ve seen hate and violence. We did our best to deter such acts. I worked in Manhattan my entire career. Many shifts, I stood with my partner in front of Jewish places of worship fully willing to lay our lives on the line so good people could pray and gather in peace. During those shifts, I conversed and engaged with dozens of Jewish families who praised and thanked us for being there, armed and ready, in uniform. I also spent long hours proudly guarding the Israeli consulate. This is sovereign ground belonging to Israel. Again, I stood fully willing to fight for the Israeli people and their guests of the embassy.
The time has long since passed for our elected officials to cease funding, enriching and enabling terrorist regimes who hate Israel and despise America.
These facts do not change simply because the Greenwich DTC and others choose to engage in selective outrage against all things Greenwich Republicans.
It is a tactic they use to silence the truth:
The Democrat party has elected and re-elected radical socialists “The Squad” who celebrate and embrace Hamas. The party has pandered to and allowed this hate to go unchecked for years now. Local CT Dems like Rep. Himes and Sen. Murphy (who has worked with the Greenwich DTC on this year’s elections) touted and justified sending another $6 Billion (see attached Tweets) to Iran, the largest funder of terrorism in the region. Democrats running for office here in Greenwich have shown unbridaled support for the current administration and for those CT Dems who have become prominent figures in the U.S. Congress.
Led by Obama and now Biden, Democrats allowed billions of dollars to flow into Iran which is funding and supporting Hamas which is responsible for this terrorist attack. (See attached)

It is irresponsible of you to condemn my genuine message of prayers and support to the innocent people being decimated by terrorists in Israel solely because you do not approve of the potential political fallout.
If the Greenwich Democrats feel so strongly about criticizing my email, then they need to defend the billions of dollars that went to Iran via Democrats who they work with, donate to, vocally support and have family members intern for.
God bless Israel and God Bless America.
Be well,
