STUDY GROUP
I was born in Jerusalem and raised twenty-two years inside a Jewish religious-Zionist settlement my family settled in the West Bank. I moved through religious-Zionist schools, yeshiva, and command in the IDF before deconstructing that worldview.
On the other side of that, I discovered Christ.
I am married to and collaborate with Christina Issa, who is Lebanese-Armenian, with family roots in southern Lebanon.
As a follower of Christ who came from deep inside these systems, I am in a unique position to help people see, process, understand, and move beyond Zionism.
I write, speak, and create spaces of reflection, testimony, and communion, moving beyond inherited systems through Christ-centered principles.

“Your courage to face truth, not as a weapon but as a path toward reconciliation, is a light for our times. Few possess the strength to step away from indoctrination and into love with such clarity and humility. What you've done, are doing, and will continue to do reflects the sacred work of awakening - transforming pain into purpose, and division into unity.”
-
“I'm in Ramallah and Palestinian and just want to thank you for your voice. It's so important. It gives me so so so much hope. The road is so long. But it's people like you that we need more of.”
-
“You've given me such sound perspective of just how painful and difficult it is to challenge your state, your government, and a well-orchestrated system of established colonial ideology. Your decolonization journey is profound and moving... How easy it would have been to follow suit, but how nonsensical it would have been to ignore the essence of your true humanity. It takes immense bravery and immense courage. Your love shines. Your truth is potent.”
-
“Your writing is the reason why I try not to judge blindly. You make me look more closely, even when it's hard. I needed that... Through your words, I get a sense of how naive I was. Your words are important - not just for me. They open a door that was firmly shut for many.”
