After one of the events yesterday, a recent college graduate, a guy from Gaza, came up to speak with me. He said he didn’t speak during the event as he has recently been twice interviewed by the FBI. The first time, they came to his apartment to let him know they knew he’d driven to California. There was nothing bad about his driving to California. They just wanted him to know they were watching him. The second time, he was looking after an elderly Lebanese friend who was ill and had family coming to visit. The FBI came to ask who was coming and going from his apartment. His story is not unusual. I keep hearing stories like this.
