Sam Fried at Queens College: “Am Yisrael Chai, Baby”

Sam Fried is a First Sergeant Paratrooper in the Israel Defense Forces. After returning home from fighting Hamas in Gaza, Sam has dedicated himself to public advocacy, speaking about his experience defending Israeli lives. At Queens College in New York City, the Israel Student Association invited him to speak. Many students came ready for dialogue; unfortunately, many others came with the intent to violently disrupt the event and verbally attack Sam. Thankfully, and unsurprisingly, our Jewish hero took the hatred in stride, and kept right on speaking truth. Am yisrael chai!
