Excerpt From The Interview

“Growing up, I was bullied because I was a poor kid and didn’t have anything. So I don’t much care for bullies in general. And when I was hearing from my friends, first of all, I was just grateful that they were alive. And then I started seeing these narratives in the news. Israel hadn’t even dropped a bomb yet in Gaza and accusations of Israeli genocide were already starting. So, two of my least favorite things in the world, bullies and lies, were coalescing into one opportunity for me. So I decided I needed to go just to see my friends.

If you’ve ever been in a tragedy, the ministry of presence is huge. I was able to take a camera guy with me to Israel so we could document the stories, because these stories are real. These aren’t fake. I wanted to see it not because I didn’t believe it, but because it’s true. And these stories deserve to be told.”
