Dear future president,
There really is only one thing I want to ask you to do when you enter the Oval Office and take the seat as the president of our country. Stop the hate around the world.
I am a Persian-Jew born in America and I am proud of who I am, but too often I feel frightened to share my pride with others. I love Israel and I am proud to call myself a Jew. However, these days, there is a lot of hate and lies being spread about Jews and the state of Israel. Constantly, I feel like I must keep quiet about my pride and that I must silence my passion for who I am.
What I am asking from you, is to help our country learn more about the countries around us, and learn to stay away from unnecessary hate and resentment of others.
Sincerely,
Jasmine Nejati
