Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

So I grew up in Israel from the time I was 10 till 21.

Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

So most of my life, I'm 22.

Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

And my parents moved there for work.

Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

I always, especially now, I like to emphasize that I am a Gentile.

Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

I'm a Goy, which people find that crazy because for some reason, if I were...

Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

like Jewish, but also Christian, they always find a way to discredit me just by being Jewish.

Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

I mean, if you even look at the comments section, a lot of them were saying, oh, they're secretly Jewish.

Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

And I'm like, what's wrong with that?

Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

Something For Everybody

And that really impacted me.

#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

say that Christians are threatened in Israel.

Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

That is far from the truth and far from my experience.

Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

I was nothing but safe in Israel.

Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

In fact, I feel safer in Jerusalem at night than I do walking to a 7-Eleven here in the States.

Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

That's just the situation.

Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

And so I felt like, yeah, I'm a very unique case, Gentile, Christian, raised in Israel, have to use my voice.

Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

I have to speak the truth because there's all of these girls, like you said, all of these not just girls, but people attacking the truth with narratives they found on TikTok.

Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

And I feel like I debunk that a little bit with my own existence and my own history.

Something For Everybody
#477 - The Biggest Misconceptions About Christianity & Zionism

Here in the States, people get discriminated against sometimes, right?
