In this video I talk with several Israelis about what daily life is actually like under constant threat, how October 7 reshaped their sense of safety, and what it means to grow up in a country where rockets, terror attacks, and political pressure from the outside world are part of everyday reality. We discuss personal stories about surviving suicide bombings, the fear families lived through during the intifadas, and the deep frustration many feel when the global narrative ignores the violence Israelis have endured for decades.

I also dive into the rise of antisemitism worldwide, why so many people misunderstand the Israel–Palestine conflict, the challenges Israelis face with boycotts and global pressure, and how political movements in the West are being influenced by anti-Israel sentiment. Throughout the conversation, you’ll hear raw firsthand accounts from people who grew up during the worst waves of terrorism, plus thoughtful discussions about democracy, immigration, and how to push back against misinformation.
