“Safety has a cost,” he mentioned. “And, you know, that’s one of the reasons why we need to be there for our allies when they need us most.”
In 2018, Moody visited Israel. He says he nonetheless remains involved with one of the most folks he met.
“I think we need to be right there, shoulder to shoulder with them,” he mentioned.
Dr. Ian Smith, this system director for International Relations and visiting professor at St. Mary’s University, mentioned it’s unclear presently if any refugees will come to the U.S. or Texas.
“I would suspect if anywhere in the U.S. ends up seeing refugees being brought in, we will be pretty high on the list, given our experience and our capabilities here,” he mentioned of San Antonio.
Moody hopes his message is obvious.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” he mentioned. “And that’s exactly what we’re seeing, you know, in Israel today.”
