I'm a Roma-Israeli, peace advocate. 🇮🇱 Molecular & Cellular Biology B.S., University of Michigan & current Juris Doctor candidate. Insta & TikTok:

First tweet & selfie of 2024:
I am a proud Zionist because I stand up for the Jewish people AND I fight for a future of peace for ALL on our land. 🇮🇱 That is what Zionism is all about. Am Israel Chai. 🧿
0 Jews in Ramallah
0 Jews in Jenin
0 Jews in Gaza (actually there are 136 Jews but they are all hostages)
0 Jews in Nablus
Meanwhile, there are 2+ MILLION Arab citizens in Israel with equal rights as any other Israeli citizen.
The “apartheid” label is antisemitic rhetoric.
To be a Zionist is to be a proud Jewish ally. It’s obvious that it has never been popular to support Jews, but I will not be silent just to make Jew haters comfortable.
Without Zionism, millions of Jewish people would not be alive or protected today.
Am Israel Chai!
I went out in the city wearing my flag proudly. 🇮🇱 Loving Israel transcends mere nationalism, it is a spirtual and historical connection that represents our resilience.
We are living our ancestors wildest dreams. 🙏🏼 We will never be Jews with trembling knees again.
This image is when the Israeli Olympian team were kidnapped by Palestinian terrorist during the Munich Olympics in 1972.
The Israeli team were tortured for days and then killed. Nazi-based terrorism is nothing new to Jews.
Jews, we must wear our Sudras! 🇮🇱 We have the responsibility to preserve our Jewish culture—just how our ancestors preserved it for us 🧿 We are the bridge for the future generation of Jews.
The pride and honor I feel being a Jewish-Israeli woman is inexplicable. 🇮🇱
There is a saying: “We are not what we know, but what we are willing to learn,” so as I post about the history of my people, I urge you to keep that quote in mind.
As always, Am Israel Chai. 🕊️
If you ask me “what’s your ethnicity?”
I’ll always respond with “Jew.”
If you don’t even know that Jews are an ethnic group, then maybe you shouldn’t speak about us on the internet.
Genetic testing doesn’t lie. Simple as that.
Understanding Jews are from Israel is the first step to peace. If you refute this scientific and historical fact out of pure malice, it’s a quick block for me!
Am Israel Chai. 🇮🇱
I am busting the Israel “stole land” myth.
This is an EXTREMELY simplified set of facts. However, the more you dig deep into this topic, the more you realize the “stolen Palestinian land” myth sprouted from a deeply ingrained Jew hatred in the Middle East.
Jews were NEVER accepted in any of the diaspora countries we were forced to settle in.
Now, that we have our ancestral homeland back to protect us….suddenly, we’re just “German” or just “Moroccan” which is a tactic to erase our connection to the only land that will protect us.
When you post anti-Israel content but not the:
- 11,000+ missles being sent into Israel hitting children day care centers and hospitals
- 400% rise of hate crimes against Jews just within the U.S.
- Israeli hostages
…… then please do not call yourself an activist.
Egypt, Syrian, Lebanese, and Jordan migration in the 19th & 20th century are today’s Palestinians …so when you ask a Jew where their grandpa is from…let’s ask you back the same question. Stop the division between our people NOW.
By holding this flag, I hold the dreams of our ancestors spanning 2,000 years 🇮🇱 Returning to Zion is the central theme in all Jewish history.
So with generations of perseverance, we managed to reclaim and revive our ancestral homeland and indigenous language. Am Israel Chai🎗️
New profile pic. I am a proud Israeli Zionist and I am not afraid to show it. Am Israel Chai, the people of Israel are alive. 🇮🇱 BH I get to live out my ancestor’s dreams!
Some ethnic groups that WANT autonomy but still don't have their own state:
- Copts
- Kurds
- Tamils
- Tibetans
- Balochs
- Basques
- Sahrawis
So why haven't you advocated for them and instead choose to only focus on anti-Israel rhetoric?
The Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) killed off +100,000 Lebanese people when the PLO invaded Lebanon just a few decades ago.
Almost one million Lebanese Christians became refugees.
Below is a quick synopsis of the PLO’s history from Jordan to Lebanon! 👇
This video serves as a reminder to never forget the ~900,000 Jewish refugees were ethnically cleansed and expelled from the Middle East up until the 1970s.
This is why we need Israel. 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
Silence on the Jewish exodus from Arab and Muslim countries where 800,000+ Jewish refugees had no choice but to flee. People love to create disdain towards Jews living in Israel but are avoidant of answering the question of “where are your Jews?” in related to Jewish persecution.
Have a wonderful weekend 🇮🇱 and for those who know, Shabbat Shalom!
This picture was the last pic I have from when I lived in Michigan. Moving was scary but it was life changing.
I learned to embrace change even when the unknown seems uncomfortable 🪬
Shabbat Shalom 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱 Passover is right around the corner.
Many would be surprised to know that Jews always end Passover by saying “Next year in Jerusalem” — revealing the hope of the Jewish people for centuries, that we would someday RETURN to our ancestral homeland.
How…
Turkey is indiscriminately bombing the city of Kobani, even bombing a Kurdish Red Crescent hospital. Will the international community even respond?
Unfortunately, I'm sure there will be no marches, no protests, no hashtags for the Kurdish people. The selective activism is sad.
People say free Palestine but Jordan is 73% of the British Mandate of Palestine. Makes me wonder if the 27% of Palestine only matters because Jews can be blamed and targeted?
When Israel gave Gaza to the Palestinians, Israel not only stript thousands of Jews from their homes….but even UNBURIED their dead and took the bodies with them.
So how exactly is Gaza occupied? Free Gaza from who?
Jews are BANNED from praying at their holiest site……meanwhile ANY non-Jew can pray at the Western Wall (the remains of the Jewish temple) in Jerusalem. The difference is clear.
The Jews fought off the British colonial forces to re-establish their Jewish homeland. Meanwhile, the Arab legions were bolstered in military support by the British government.
Israel is a decolonized Jewish state. Sorry, history doesn’t change for your antisemitic narrative.
Jews are indigenous to Judea — now known as Israel. Even our name “Jew” is an Anglo-Saxon derived version of the word “Judea”. Our history is literally connected to our name.
Why is it rare for an Arab-Muslim and an Israeli-Jew to be friends?
From the act of giving, known as ‘Sadaqah’ in Arabic and ‘Tzedakah’ in Hebrew….all the way to our dietary laws, ‘Halal’ and ‘Kosher’ … my best friend has taught me that we are more similar than different. ❤️…
There is no accountability for the Arab countries being absent during the suffering of the Palestinian people. WHY? Why is Egypt not opening its borders? Meanwhile, Poland took in over 1 million Ukrainian refugees during the Ukrainian war with Russia. Shame.
Less than 100 years ago, American Jews faced educational quotas and even restrictions on recreational/residential areas. To this day, Jews comprise 55% of ALL religious hate crimes (FBI released statistic). Don’t tell me Jews had it good ANYWHERE.
If Arabs are middle eastern, then so are Jews.
You cannot erase Jewish indigenous history and identity that’s indisputably tied to the land of Israel for an antisemitic narrative.
Anyways, Shabbat Shalom. 🇮🇱
UPDATE - Ukraine’s leader Zelensky asks Israel’s prime minister to be a mediator since Israel is one of the few countries with good relations to both Ukraine and Russia. Possible negotiations could be held in Jerusalem.
There is no “terrorist / militant casualty count” coming out of Gaza. Hamas combines the civilian & terrorist death counts together for their propaganda machine.
My heart is with my Palestinian cousins in Gaza but I also know these numbers are not accurate. Free them from Hamas.
Jews are genetically, historically, archeologically, and linguistically linked to Israel. Our connection to the land is not political, it’s just factual.
The same people that ignorantly chant for a ceasefire (which Hamas has rejected), have NEVER demanded for the hostages to be released.
I will be wearing this hoodie PROUDLY. Bring my people back home. 🇮🇱🎗️💙
Shabbat Shalom. 🇮🇱 The best advice I have received is that I am not my thoughts. I am an observer of my thoughts.
The fear and doubt that pop up in my head are just a normality from social conditioning in order to limit me. Just because I have a thoughts of fear doesn’t make me…
Fun fact, I never post a meal until after I’m done because of the evil eye (I’m sussss lol).
The concept of the “evil eye” (ayin ha’ra in Hebrew) is found in various communities—including Jews and Arabs.
It is the idea that a person can harm you merely by looking at you (i.e.…
The political left considers Jews recipients of white privilege because we are “white people” yet the all-right considers us targets because we are “non-whites” in society. I love how Jewish identity and history changes based on which antisemite we are dealing with.
Shabbat Shalom 🇮🇱 never forget the strength that has carried our people throughout the centuries of persecution.
Despite the rising tides of antisemitism—especially on college campuses—our spirit remains unbroken. We are Jews, resiliency runs in our blood.
Bella Hadid said she lost all her Jewish friends LOL what did she expect…. activism rooted in lies is simply hatred. If she really cared about Palestinian AND Jews/Israeli civilians, she’d advocate for peace.
Sudra is a traditional Jewish head wear. It may be similar to the keffiyah or a turban but it’s NOT! We are decolonizing ourselves by claiming back our heritage. 🙏🏼
You’re outraged when it comes to Jews DEFENDING themselves from terrorism
…but ignore the real genocide happening in Africa, the slave trade in Arab countries, and the terrorist proxy wars conducted by Iran.
You’re a victim of terrorist propaganda OR you just deeply hate Jews.
Jews and Muslims have so much commonalities. Jews have 3 daily prayers, Muslims have 5. Both eat halal/kosher. Both are connected to the holy land. Both do tzedakah/zakat. Don’t let the media divide us. 🙏🏼
People call Israel an apartheid …. a state which has an Islamist party in the Israeli government, multiple Arab members in parliament, and a pillar of non-discriminatory reinforced laws…ok lol
Hamas used the Qatar funded residential Hamad towers for terrorism (shocker). Israel did a multi-week evacuation INSTEAD of carpet bombing the area like other militaries would.
There is no moral equivalence between the IDF and Hamas. It’s that simple.
A defensive war is not a genocide.
When Hamas raped, slaughtered, and injured thousands of Israelis AND took 240+ hostages AND launched tens of thousands rockets hitting our hospitals, homes, and schools ….Hamas should expect to be eliminated.
War is sad. People suffer. It’s…
Although Valentine’s Day isn’t a real holiday in Israel, it is still celebrated with festivities. 💖 Tu B’Av is the Jewish alternative to Valentine’s Day where we celebrate love on the 15th day of the Jewish month of Av.
They just killed a Jew at a pro-Palestine protest in LA………and yet, I’m supposed to believe this movement isn’t about the hatred of Jews?
BD’E to Paul Kessler. Your spirit will live on through our people. 🇮🇱🙏🏼
How are Jews European if our indigenous language developed alongside other semitic languages in the Middle East? Why do Jews pray towards Jerusalem? Why are some Jewish holidays celebrating liberation from Iranian (Purim Festival) and Egyptian (Passover) enslavement?
Many may not know this, but the Amidah is a Jewish prayer where we stand and face Jerusalem — so yes, Judaism is a religion of our land. Jews are forever connected to Israel whether you like it or not.
Are Ashkenazi Jews descendants of Khazars? The answer is NO! This myth has been largely discredited by modern genetic and historical research. It was created to try to disconnect Jews from Israel. Let's talk about it...
The holocaust was NOT just in Europe.
9,600+ Jews from Tunisia, Libya, & Algeria were sent to concentration camps.
Nazi policies were adopted in North Africa like making Jews wear a star or putting Jews in labor camps where most died of starvation (ex. Giado camp in Libya).
Hundreds of thousands of people are dying from war and yet, the world is hyper fixated on Israel’s war on defending itself from terrorism.
We should be mourning the lives of the innocent civilians on both sides but … the media is ignoring other humanitarian disasters. Why?
Palestinian Arabs are a nationality—not an ethnicity.
Acknowledging the historical context and science, doesn’t take away the right that Jews and Arabs can AND SHOULD coexist together in the Levant. Diversity is a beautiful thing. 🙏🏼
Israel did NOT bomb an “Iranian consulate” in Damascus.
Israel targeted a terrorist building to neutralize a Quds Force commander who planned the October 7 terrorist attack that killed/injured THOUSANDS of Israelis and had +50,000 rockets launched into Israel. This was a…
Jews have always been considered a distinct ethnicity—and were even killed for it.
So why does our generation ignore the truth and reduce Jews to just a religion?
Simple answer: because it ruins their narrative.
Jews can’t “colonize” a land that they are indigenous to.
Just because you migrated into Europe, doesn’t make you ethnically FROM Europe.
Although Roma and Jews migrated to Europe centuries ago, they are genetically proven to be ethnically DIFFERENT from the Europeans they live with.
Jews and Roma people were never even treated as…
