It is very weird to see people obfuscate this, when I went to Israel on a "counterterrorism" fellowship thru FDD that had the explicit purpose of me going back to my campus and writing op-eds defending GWOT and tying Israel's fight to the US fight on terror. This ain't hidden stuff!

Why were you given a counterterrorism fellowship and a trip to Israel?

The program would take two students from 20-25 college campuses to Israel for 5 weeks to observe Israeli measures and agencies, then 2 weeks in DC meeting FBI and DOD people. In exchange we were to go back to campus and write op-eds/host events with “experts” on Islamic terrorists for students.

As to why *I* was chosen, I had a good college conservative resume, and had just been an intern for Bush-Cheney ‘04 the year before.

Tbh if I had your resume I'd probably kill myself

Meh, I think that’s pretty small ball on today’s Internet, and I’m not proud of my youth, but I’m proud to show folks that people are capable of change
Me in 2004: working for George W Bush Me in 2018: being a leftist bogeyman in a GOP campaign commercial. Don’t assume every young RWer stays that way. Also, “open borders” is the moral and technically correct answer to migration policy. Don’t let anyone bully you otherwise.
