FUCK ISRAEL. FUCK POLITICAL INTIMIDATION. AND FUCK THE IDEA THAT AMERICANS MUST BOW TO A FOREIGN STATE.
Thank you for sharing my story and for your support.
Now I want some answers. WHY HAS THE INDIVIDUAL WHO REPORTED ME BEEN GRANTED THE PRIVILEGE OF ANONYMITY WHILE I WAS PUBLICLY ARRESTED FOR EXERCISING MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS?
I flipped someone off and did some cursing. That's it. No violence. No threats. No crime. And yet I got arrested. Since when does offending an Israeli citizen justify dragging an American citizen into police custody?
WHO DECIDED THAT MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS WERE LESS IMPORTANT THAN AN ISRAELI'S OFFENDED FEELINGS?
I will not apologize for opposing Israel's government, its occupation, its military actions, or the American politicians who bankroll them. I don't take orders from Israel. I don't bow to its apologists. And I certainly won't surrender my constitutional rights to spare anyone's feelings.
FUCK ISRAEL'S GOVERNMENT. FREE PALESTINE. AND KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
Matthew Arndt is Congressional candidate in Wisconsin who was just arrested for saying, "Fuck Israel." Are you kidding me? They said it was a hate crime. No, that is 100% within our freedom of speech. We're not going to let a foreign country take our rights from us. Fuck Israel!
