One thing that I’ve had to reckon with over the past few months is the reality that a lot of people now dislike me.
I’m not talking about antisemites, this is a given.
I’m talking about people-notably in the media and academia-who I have no doubt find me intensely irritating.

People who knew me before all of this can attest to the fact that I am not a combative/disagreeable person by nature. Quite the opposite.
I have adopted the necessary measures to combat institutional bias and discrimination.
This does not come easily to me and it weighs heavy.

Both the implementation of these measures and the inevitable result of people disliking me has immense mental impact.
I was very content in my path in life before 7/10 studying sign linguistics. In a better world I would have been able to focus on this pursuit without enemies.

I wake up in this new reality with reservations: what have I done? How many bridges have I burned?
But ultimately I go to bed knowing I stood by my morals and did what I could to do what I believed to be right.
I look at myself in the mirror with tired eyes but without shame.
