I remember telling skeptical European diplomats in 2024 that the Gaza genocide will be a formative experience for an entire generation of Americans. That the politics around Israel will change in America faster than most have expected. 

And I specifically told them that the kids at the Columbia, Harvard, MIT encampments are no ordinary kids. They are the future leaders of this country. At least one of them will run for president. Several will run for Senate. Even more for the House. 

It's already happening.

Melat Kiros was fired for speaking out against the genocide in 2023. 

Darializa Avila Chevalier was arrested for protesting genocide on Columbia's campus in 2024.

Both are headed to Congress in 2026. 

If pro-Israel repression was supposed to intimidate them, it failed.
