So I grew up in Israel from the time I was 10 till 21.
So most of my life, I'm 22.
And my parents moved there for work.
I always, especially now, I like to emphasize that I am a Gentile.
I'm a Goy, which people find that crazy because for some reason, if I were...
like Jewish, but also Christian, they always find a way to discredit me just by being Jewish.
I mean, if you even look at the comments section, a lot of them were saying, oh, they're secretly Jewish.
And I'm like, what's wrong with that?
But at the same time, I do like to emphasize that I was a Gentile Christian raised in Israel most of my life.
And that really impacted me.
And when I hear again, like you said, Tucker Carlson, people
say that Christians are threatened in Israel.
That is far from the truth and far from my experience.
I was nothing but safe in Israel.
In fact, I feel safer in Jerusalem at night than I do walking to a 7-Eleven here in the States.
That's just the situation.
And so I felt like, yeah, I'm a very unique case, Gentile, Christian, raised in Israel, have to use my voice.
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.
And I feel like I debunk that a little bit with my own existence and my own history.
Here in the States, people get discriminated against sometimes, right?
