The Hamilton Award Dinner is a special night in the life of the Institute. It provides us with an opportunity to honor deserving individuals who embody the mission of the Manhattan Institute—advancing opportunity, individual liberty, and the rule of law in America and its great cities.

This year we were delighted to honor Douglas Murray (‪@douglasmurray‬) his unwavering defense of Western values, and Ross Perot Jr., for representing the best of civic engagement in Dallas and throughout Texas.

Douglas Murray: "I want to dedicate [this award] to the people of Israel of all ages, who, in the face of absolute death cults—in the face of people who most people in this country have no idea of, can't imagine what these people are capable of—I want to dedicate my acceptance of this award to the people of Israel, who, in the face of death, choose life. Thank you."

    As an Israeli we can not express our deep appreciation for everything Douglas Murray has done in the last 7 months. One of the true friends of Israel and we will never forget this lone brave voice in these dark times.
  • @warrendowd709
    Douglas has no equal these days in exposing our complacency and entitlement and ignorance of the threat of Islam to a free liberal democratic way of life.
  • Dear Sir Jewish People are grateful for ever. Thank you for defending the truth

    As a Christian, I thank Douglas Murray for his tirelessly defense of the west and of those who still are fighting hate and wishes for total anhiliation. Those who restled with God. Israel You are not alone. Godspeed Douglas.

    I am crushed watching antisemitism crawl out from the under the rocks and given voice by the world. The only thing that lift my spirits and restores hope is Douglas Murray and his making sense of all this horror. Maimonides, in his Laws of Teshuvah (Repentance), urges us not to doubt that we human beings have the capacity to choose good over evil.

    Doug is a real mensch. Honest, truthful and uncompromising. We should all listen to what he has to say and heed his warnings. Upward and onward Douglas! We love you!

    Mr. Douglas Murray, your words mean so much to me, as an Israeli. I can't wait for the world to wake up and realize they've made a mistake, and that now is the time to correct it before it's too late. You are magnificent! Thank you!

    Douglas Murray is making history. Great journalist and Man.
  • Watching this from Ireland. Douglas Murray is one of the best and truthfull journalists of our time. His book "The Strange Death of Europe" which is an absolutely correct in every way I can see it happening all around us in Universities, etc. A great man I am so glad he went to see what happened in Israel the devestation by Hamas. So few journalists from western countries did that. And yes he's right about the denials. Godbless you Douglas Murray
