Yep think about it
Hundreds of refugees, immigrants and even legal U.S. residents were detained this weekend following President Trump’s controversial travel ban. Most of the people affected were Muslims, but the ban hit Jews, too.
One of them was Manny Dahari, a Yemeni Jew who saved his whole family from their native land. He has a green card and has lived in the U.S. for almost 11 years; the 23-year-old student is supposed to receive his American citizenship in a couple of months.
Dahari was on a family visit to Israel, when Trump signed the order that included a 90-day ban on entry to all citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries, including Yemen.
Dahari ended his post saying, “For my friends who have been celebrating Mr. Trump’s decision, you should know this does not only affect Muslims, but it also affects thousands of Jews and Christians escaping war and religious persecutions. I hope you take a moment to think about it.”
