We speak with anti-Zionist organizer and former IDF soldier from Tel Aviv Meital Yaniv, who joined hundreds of Jewish activists and their allies to shut down the California state Capitol in Sacramento Wednesday to demand a ceasefire in Gaza and condemn the roughly $600 million in California taxes that is used annually for U.S. military aid to Israel. Yaniv recalls how they were raised "extremely Zionistic," their experience in the Israeli Air Force and eventual turn to fight for Palestinian rights. "What Israel is doing right now has nothing to do with antisemitism. What Israel is doing right now is a genocide. What Israel has been doing for the past 75 years is apartheid, is occupation," Yaniv says. "There is no need for any one of us to serve in the IDF. The IDF should not exist. The state of Israel should not exist."

It requires a LOT of intellectual courage to change your mind about something that has been taught to you since infancy. I'm glad to see that human beings are capable of it :)
U mean gender?
Too few of us have the ability to unlearn and reeducate ourselves from the wrongs we were though I admire her.
Moral courage as well.
@@dervilderness290 That comment say’s more about you than her, I can only applaud her courage!
Zionism is an extreme form of nationalism for Jews who view the indigenous population of Palestine as in the way of their plans for a "greater Israel". They don't care how they achieve this goal, even if it means genocide or ethnic cleansing. Zionism has got nothing to do with the religion of Judaism. It's a political nationalistic ideology.
Some of the first people to let me know about the Israeli occupation and who turned me into an activist almost 20 years ago were former IDF folks who went against the State after seeing what they were asked to do to Palestinians. So much respect.
👍🏻
My respect to Mental Yanin may God bless you in this world and next world Amen amen
Thank you for standing up to oppression
@@michelleper5065 she is .0001 %
There have been reports coming out of Palestine of the IDF taking Palestinian babies. I really fear for those children. I am even more fearful that suddenly there will be "proof" of the “40 beheaded babies "propaganda.
What a brave women who managed to see through this fog
What’s true and what’s fake and join the love of humanity, pure and simple
Jesus Christ is the Living God he is Real and he healed me from my incurabel sickness!! he wants us all to live Forever and with him in Heaven but we cannot let our sin separate us from his Perfect love
The Creator Jesus🙏❤💯😍He REALLY Loves us!!
This person knows there is a GOD to answer to some day. What a brave and righteous person! Blessings!
you must b einsane;God is the reason for all these antihuman atrocities perpetrated by the god`s chosen people on the innocent Palestinians. Fu...k god!
Believing in god is the cause of the problem not the solution.
@@anttitmh Yeah I completely agree. This world would be a much better place without religion.
Jesus Christ is the Living God he is Real and he healed me from my incurabel sickness!! he wants us all to live Forever and with him in Heaven but we cannot let our sin separate us from his Perfect love
The Creator Jesus🙏❤💯😍He REALLY Loves us!!
John 5:30 "By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me". Jesus never claimed to be God, nor did he ever say: 'worship me'. @@achmed2pac
Collectively we need to demand the UK lift Diplomatic immunity for Israeli Ambassador and have her charged with Genocidal incitement. She needs to be prosecuted on those criminal charges and not recognize her as a diplomat.
Legally they can only deport her
Yes
I just don't understand how come we never see self-critisisng palestinians in this channel?
@@neuroneunbecause they’re all dead, missing, injured and displaced idiot
@@neuroneun Yes, maybe it would be better to criticize Palestinians on "how they escaped years of oppression?"
South African here exZionist supporter but due to information released now standing for Palestinian mothers, children and animals. The IDF must stop this war and in restitution to Gaza and Palestianians rebuild their country.
Thanks...
Only NOW? Smh.
I appreciate where you’re coming from but you’re not really addressing the issue. How do you create a situation where both Palestinians and Israelis are going to be safe? I really have not heard anything coherent yet from anyone.
@@theotherview1716all Nonisraeli aka the indigenous people need to be settled into cities of their ancestors, their parents and grandparents. They need to deport all squatters who are 5 years old in the country back to their original countries.
It is amazing how people manage not to prononce even once the word hamas here !!!! Zionism is not the number one problem, but islamism - like the elephant in the middle of the room that Palestinian's sympathizers succeed not to see...
Its good to know there are good Jewish people who are anti zionist and anti Apartheid, people like this can bring a peace and stability to palestine and Israel. So jews Christians and moslems can live together peacefully it can happen .
And anti Talmudic Jew
Absolutely! We stand with our Palestinian brothers, sisters and siblings all day everyday! Zionism is a gross weaponization of our trauma from the shoah against Palestinian people, and genocide, while judaism actively condemns this type of violence and brutality constantly. We won't stand for an occupation or an apartheid. A free Palestine, free of apartheid, free of oppression ❤🇵🇸
Meanwhile, this book says the opposite.
Sahin Muslim [7339] 82 - (2922) It was
narrated that AN Hurairah said:
"The Messenger of Allah said:
'The Hour will not begin until the
Muslims fight the Jews, and the
Muslims will kill them, until a Jew
hides behind a rock or a tree, and
the rock or tree will say: "0
Muslim, 0 slave of Allah, there is
a Jew behind me, come and kill
him." Except the Gharqad (a
thorny tree), for it is one of the
trees of the Jews."
Quram 5:32-33
That is why We ordained for the Children of Israel that whoever takes a life-unless as a punishment for murder or mischief in the land-it will be as if they killed all of humanity; and whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity.1 ˹Although˺ Our messengers already came to them with clear proofs, many of them still transgressed afterwards through the land. Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and spread mischief in the land is death, crucifixion, cutting off their hands and feet on opposite sides, or exile from the land. This ˹penalty˺ is a disgrace for them in this world, and they will suffer a tremendous punishment in the Hereafter.
yes they can, but israel doesn't exist...
People of the world want peace! ❤
'Criticising Israel isn't the same as antisemitism because what Israel is doing is genocide" well said. People like Meital give me hope. May God protect her and bless her soul.
Unless you have an R next to your name right? And or are Christian or believe in the Constitution, Capitalism etc. Then that makes you a "Nationalist sOcIaLiSt" somehow. Right comrade? I'm the great grandson of a Catholic US Marine who married a Jewish holocaust survivor yet if I question or point out the evil self serving greedy actions of men like George Soros a man who giggles at the prospect of destroying the economy of 3rd world countries for profit and sold out his fellow Jews to the Nazis during WW2 then somehow I am a Nazi. If I'm critical of Israel in the same way you are that makes me a white supremacist. I'm just trying to understand the evergrowing list of contradictions of a political Ideology I used to respect as important half of society. Before you answer know thay I am and atheist who despises 99% of the GOP and 100% of the DNC. Also I hope you are excited about Joe Bidens replacement puppet Nikki Haley. They couldn't have found better birdbrained establishment warhawk to kick off WW3.
👏👏👏
Hi...
While the term 'antisemitismis' is overused and misused , putting it of danger of becoming a cliche ...
The same can be accurately said about the term 'genocide'
What do you believe the term genocide means ?
So, what the Hamas, which most Palestinians support, did on Oct. 7 is not genocide? Israel has given ample warnings to the Palestinians to get out of the way before they bomb an area in Gaza. Does Hamas, who most Palestinians support, do that to Israeli civilians before they bomb them with Iranian supplied rokets? Hell, no.
To prove Genocide’ you look at the Hospital’s’ if a wounded person has. O Hospital’ can’t live! Genocide-
If a woman can not have a home/hospital for a child to be born’ Genocide! - if children are over 50% killed by IDF Jews! Genocide
If you have no men to reproduce a child’ Genocide - targeted women and children that can not defend themselves’ Genocide
Overwhelming proof of Genocide! 🇵🇸
My profound respect for Meital Yaniv for having the wisdom, moral courage and for taking a stand for what is right. People like you should be in governance. I hope young people like yourself and others on the Palestinian side can chalk out a sustainable peaceful coexistence. Look where the older generation has landed us!
Appreciate your comment brother.
THANK YOU Meital for speaking TRUTH to POWER. We are all equal being on this earth. "Do concentration camp guards have the right to self-defense?" - Norman Finkelstein "Do the Palestinians have the right to free themselves from the largest open air prison in the world?" - Norman Flinkelstein "If Israelis don't want to be accused of being like the Nazis, they simply need to stop behaving like Nazis.." - Norman Finkelstein “The biggest insult to the memory of the Holocaust is not denying it but using it to commit genocide against the Palestinian people.” Norman Finkelstein-
Do Abusive "Parents" have a "right" to Self Defense? NO the Abused Child does. The one Everyone Criminalized since 1970 and enabled and excused the Abusers for Decades
@@AprilWattersthe abusive parents stands for Israel right?
Israel - the only country in the world that needs to defend it's self becuase it defend's it's self.
Hey I can show you videos of Gaza and it was no prison it was very lovely. Israelis cannot be Nazi because they love Jews it’s like saying Hamas is British. Quit with the dumb repeated cliches in every “anti Jew” channel.
@@candykane4271-to be anti-genocide is not being anti-Semitic
Brave hearts like her are staying for love, peace and humanity. Thats what we need in dark times like this. I wanna read her book.
👏👏👏
What she does not comprehend is that Palestinians don't want peace. They do not want Israel to exist. They had 19 years to have a statehood but refused. They want all of Israel. Let her live among the Palestinians in Gaza or the West Bank and see how long she will last being there. She should move out of the U.S. & embrace the Arabs by living in their country if she hates the U.S. government policy supporting Israel.
Those are the fundamental tenets of Judaism.
Beware of insulting through singular pronouns--we dealing with "they" here
She isn't brave, she just had an anxiety attack and based her life off it
She has displayed great courage and soul.
As an Israeli myself, I can totally relate to Meital. It's weird for me that most of the people around me support the atrocities while feel sorrow for the lost of humanity. I feel lonely then ever, but maybe in time more Israelis will express these same emotions 🙏
Good on you for speaking up
"Lonely and heartbroken" are my two main emotions. Not Israeli, but a Noahide for over 5 years. What shocked me was the divide between Zionist orthodox Jews and the orthodox who are anti-Zionist. I witnessed orthodox rabbis who I once respected cheering on mass-murder. In a way, I thank HaShem for opening my eyes -- as painful as it is.
The world feels the same, you are not lonely
You're not alone, bullies just want you to feel that way. There are always others who feel like you, but they're scared of being out numbered and bullied for their beliefs and humanity.
@@yabits It may be painful but is certainly LIBERATING.☮🙏💫
She is a lot braver than most people, I am blown away
She?!? Their preferred pronoun - as Amy used them - is „they“. Please don’t throw your disgusting cis-micro-aggressions around here!!!
She more brave than 99.999% of the dictators in the middle east.
40:40 Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account.
Youl beleive anything lol😅
I've been wearing my IDF shirt, does it make me brave?
Great job done by this media channel, by bringing such brave voices to the world...
I'm also a former IDF soldier who left Israel and never plans to return. I saw blatant genocide with my own eyes and was appalled!
Hopefully more young Israelis will wake up and realize the need for peace over oppression of Palestinians . Thank you for speaking out against this brutal occupation of innocents.
ya these guys shoot on both sides of the fence...while some destroy the others scream how terrible ! But they move together until they'll try to walk all over you sam...FACT
That on its own its not going to sort it. More than 20.000 killed, people losing their entire families, babies killed. 70 years of occupation
Theres no hope for Young Israelis .they already brainwashed
@@aynos629
The numbers are closer to 30,000 now, since hundreds are still burried under the rubble. The numbers of dead will increase exponentially once hunger and disease take over. And, that's what the U.S. gov't, American, British, French, and Israeli elites want.
@@aynos62970 years? Really 70? In 1948 Palestinians and 5 arab armies invaded Israel to wipe it off the map. There is yiur 70 years.
And in 1967 after another failed arab invasion Israel took Gaza from Egypt, west Bank from Jordan and Golan from Syria.
Maybe you have no clue but in 2005 Israel razed all its own settlements in Gaza and gave it to Palestinians. No Jewish at all.
Took less than a year for Gaza to vote in a group that openly preaches genocide for all jews world wide and literally has the destruction of Israel in their charter.
And if it is all about occupation why did Palestinians try to overthrow Jordan in 71, even assassinated their prime minister.
Why did they start a civil war in Lebanon to try to take over?
Why did the ones in Kuwait (about 300,000) turn and support the Iraqi invasion?
And why just 2 weeks ago were Palestinians arrested in Germany and Denmark for planning terror attacks?
Just all about occupation?
Bah!
Thank you Meital, hope for humanity
It’s takes courage to go against an enemy but it’s take tremendous strength nd courage to go against ur own.
Thank you, Meital, for your incredible courage. I never imagined that I would witness Jewish individuals speaking out about the truth of what Palestinians have endured, from acts of terrorism to expulsion and even genocide. Your willingness to stand up for what is right is truly inspiring, and it reaffirms our shared humanity. I sincerely appreciate your efforts and wish you all the best.
Thank you Meital Yaniv for standing up for what is right
So if your country loses it's way, it should no longer exist? A patriot would try to fix it rather than destroy it. Using that logic would leave almost none of the old empires with the right to exist. Germany, Britain, France, Japan, Russia and definitely the USA. No evof them should exist either because they killed people and did some really crappy things.
Elimination of one and only Jewish state which legal and legitimate is "right"?? You leftists are on a different level of antisemitism. Holy land is Jewish historical homeland. If anything, its Palestine that should not exist.
She's standing up for bigots and terrorists in the name of tolerance
@@nas84paynerepentance and regret is a beautiful thing. You must try is sometime
Friends, I find myself *STANDING WITH ISRAEL* for a few reasons (please do let me know if the following reasons are wrong). In 2005 Israel withdrew all Israeli security forces and 21 settlements (9000 Jews) from the Gaza Strip *in the absence of peace negotiations.* This would allow Gaza to develop their economy and build a peace-seeking society, which is developed, free, law-abiding, and transparent and which adheres to democratic principles. Palestine could have been the Hong Kong of the Middle East...
But what do we know? Hamas soon won elections there and the agricultural and industrial infrastructure left by the Israelis was destroyed and Hamas immediately began shelling Israel with rockets and have continued to invest billions towards their terrorist infrastructure underground. Is that how you repay a neighbor trying to live peacefully with you?
And then just before October 7, Israel had been working on a peace treaty with Saudi Arabia, in the spirit of the Abrahamic accords for peace in the Middle East. Sensing the progress towards peace, Hamas *(being the puppets of Iran and its desire to cut Israel off from the face of the earth)* struck with an attempted barbaric ethnic cleansing of the Jews on October 7 when babies were killed, women rap3d and killed/burned alive and young people at a music festival were gunned down in cold blood! Why is it that every everytime they celebrated their evil acts with the blood curdling chant: *"ALLAHU AKBAR!"?* What is the meaning of this chant?
I suppose you think Israel was just supposed to fold their arms and say thank you very much to Hamas, right?
The loss of innocent Palestinian life is deeply regretted (considering that Hamas is embedded in the civilian population and launches rockets from neighborhoods, schools, hospitals and kindergartens) but Israel MUST DESTROY the Hamas terrorist infrastructure so that Hamas will never recover, rearm and restart its genocidal ethnic cleansing of Israel like it tried to do on October 7.
Unless you have been living under a rock, Hamas do not care even if they get more of the land. They want all the land, the whole thing. Remember the slogan "From the river to the Sea, Palestine will be free"? Palestine, according to Muslims, will only be free if the Jews are eradicated from the river Jordan to the sea: genocide.
Hamas or Islam has no real interest in peace with Israel. If you do, then either you are deceived, dishonest or you live in a fantasy!
Hamas is motivated by their 7th century god, Allah's commitment to the death-wish of eradication of Jews.
WOW!! Bravo. What an extraordinary interview, THANK YOU Meital, you give me hope with your courage and your compassion.
As a Muslim i say thank you to all brave Jewish ppl who stands with the right side of humanity
Thank you both so much for your strength and brave work!
Courageous activists like Meital give me hope for the future. Thank you.
Courage is changing wrongs, not destroying everything. Her position is destructive and childish, not contagious.
I hope she n the likes of her be healed..i know how idf goes through this stage of desensitization to cruelty n later on ptsd..only some repent.
Changing wrongs, I agree. 75 years of settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and brutal military occupation is wrong. It's good that this person has seen through the Zionist brainwashing and is now speaking out against it. I see nothing destructive and childish in her postion. I see the opposite. Taking a mature stand against the illegal bombing of civilians with US-supplied weapons and backing. Courage is going against an oppressive sysem which smears you as antisemitic if you don't agree with it. Well, this person doesn't agree with it and is not afraid to say so.@@Seefood73
Kudos to Meital! She is one of the hundreds of thousands Jews world-wide who support Pal. human rights/self-determination and oppose zi....sm, an ethno-nationalistic political ideology formulated in the late 19th century. They follow the core tenets of Judaism, a venerable religion that has been around for thousands of years: justice and fairness.
@@Seefood73 You're wrong. What do you know? Israel has no right to exist on other people's land. This follows from the November 2nd 1917 Balfour Declartation. When you read it carefully. It states the conditions by the British Crown under which the refugee jews were allowed to live in Palestine. One of the conditions is “‘that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religeous rights of existing non-jewish communities in Palestine”. Mind you, already in 1917.
WELL Done. Thank you, Meital. You have a good, sound heart. Your experiences and witness are precious to the cause of justice.
A very brave lady, on an extremely important mission. Meital, keep up the good work!
Good work in releasing her personal frustrations by going into extreme mode of Hate. Hate Propoganda is a Relaxant or outlet just like liquor and illegal drugs.

Very eloquent and thoughtful words from this lady, good job on her part that seems like a difficult stance to take and she’s brave
Eloquent? She couldn't put two coherent sentences together correctly.
@@purplenights1I think your English needs some brushing up then
@@purplenights1 english might not be her first language but I’d say she did a great job shedding light on the internal dilemma she went through.
@@bueno2goodInternal dilemma is a very accurate word to describe the psychological challenges this lady has been experiencing so far. Did she finish her post secondary education after the service? She could have focused more on her critical thinking process in addition to the description of her family background and personal feelings. It will be much more convincing that she is not merely a troubled young soul haunted by the traumatic experience at the age of 18.
@@user-bi3rc6gt9hI see you remembered to like your own comment COMRADE. Still shilling for your Hasbara handlers!
I see the actions of the Israelis towards Palestinians are similar to those of Hitler towards Jews.
And you'd be right.
That’s exactly what are read.
In the holocaust 6 million jews were killed. Literally nearly half of the worlds jewish population. Do the math of the amount of Palestinians killed to the overall Palestinian population and explain your ridiculous logic. Better yet....stop copying the same trending phraseology and (dare i say it...) think for yourself. Shocking i know but give it a try.
YA THINK?

We salute you Meital, we continue to ask the Almighty to protect you and may your cause for justice spread far and wide.
Hats off to this young lady, for listening to her conscience, instead of what was indoctrinated.
Any 'normal' person who suffered oppression or cruelty, will never subject others to the same.
she actually says she listened to her body...do you see the difference?
Too bad no one in America today can fall into that category and save us from oppression. No one in America is oppressed, just spoiled.
she may be israli but she a quack hamas want to kill jews because its commanded in koran and only idf is stopping the entire populaion from being killed@@nathasion9556
I applaud Meital Yaniv for her bold, courageous stand for truth against injustice in the face of an upbringing with lifelong propaganda. May it inspire more IDF soldiers to defend truth by laying down their armament for freedom to all in Palestine.
"We don't need gas chambers because we have usa made bombs".. damn. That nails it. .
you do realize the US killed more than 15x what's going on in gaza in afganistan after 9/11 while you lot were completely silent - it's only the jewish state that needs to defend it's self for defending it's self.

Meital Yaniv, You are a strong and brave woman. I appreciate you very much. I have a lot of Jewish friends here in the States who sound very angry and hateful. I have kept hope that Israelis would be less violent and hateful toward Gaza and Palestine. I'm so sorry for my Jewish friends who have this hatred. My family supported Israel, because of the Holocaust. They served in WW11, so the holocaust was very real in their lives. My parents were Christians who had more Jewish friends than not. So I grew up with love for all their friends and of course, still have that love for them. Thank you for speaking out. Many Blessings and Healing for you.

Recognizing + struggling against this, personally sure, but more meaningfully by speaking out bringing public political awareness, that's where change happens ✊ Much respect + thank you for your courage Meital 👏
Agree, right now we need more voices for the humanitarian campaign in Palestine for togetherness. I believe the Israeli and Palestinian people can unite... ❤❤
I hope other iddf soldiers also see truth..thougy they are too young.
@@Spirit_Inspiration
I dont think they ll unite ..but ll agree on certaun thinhs. We cant let palestenians be in their hands
That's exactly what you're going to say when they start telling you that you have to do Sharia law
It is a crime what Zionists have done to the youth of Israel to turn them into pseudo Nazis some of whom bear so much guilt for their actions against the Palestinians being forced to seize land and homes from Palestinians and being taught to hate and fear these people from childhood.
So PROUD of these Jewish people for standing up for whats right! Thank you Meital, you are beautiful....xx
40:40 Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account.
Salam, Shlama, Shlomo, Shalom, Peace.
Before commencing creation, ALLAH (The One and Only Unseen God) gathered the souls of Prophets He would send down to Earth and made a covenant with them saying:
“Take whatever I give you from the Book and Hikma (understanding of My Laws), and afterwards, there will come to you a Messenger (i.e. Muhammad, peace be upon him) confirming what is with you; u must then believe in him and help him.” - Qur’an 3:81.
Almost all Buddhist books contain this prophecy. It is in Chakkavatti Sinhnad Suttanta D. III, 76: "There will arise in the world a Buddha named Maitreya (the benevolent one) a holy one, a supreme one, an enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe:
"It is said that I am not an only Buddha upon whom the leadership and order is dependent. After me another Buddha maitreya of such and such virtues will come. I am now the leader of hundreds, he will be the leader of thousands."
Vedas - Hindu:
The Bhavishya Purana (The History of Future) has a reference regarding someone named “Mahamada”. It is explained in the Bhavishya Purana (Parva 3, Khand 3, Adhya 3, verses 5-6) that "An illiterate mleccha [foreigner] teacher will appear, Mahamada is his name, and he will give religion to his fifth-class companions."
Human soul still exists!
Thank you meital yaniv for standing up for the truth 🙏 🙌 👏 ❤️.
What a remarkable human being.
Respect for you and your organisation for doing the real journalism
She is JUST what the haters LOVE to hear!!! I understand her feeling but she has NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER to discuss this whilst Israel are fighting for their existence!!! SHAME ON HER!!!!!!
The government balked at giving my 80 year old dad $23 dollars a month for food, but has no problems sending 600 million dollars a year to a foreign country to fund their terrorism against the unarmed civilians in Gaza.
😮
Oh, " terrorism against the unarmed civilians in Gaza " so hamas has nothing to do with that war, ok !!!! Go buy yourself another brain ! What about the 500 little inoffensive roquettes missed launched from hospital and Mosque by hamas that fell down in Gaza ? With no "human collateral damage" of course !!! No, hamas and islamism is almost nothing here...
It's great to see someone saying and standing up for the right thing.
She was kicked out og the IDF after 8 months of service and never did anything she is a known Israel hater lol..
Much respect to all Jewish people of conscience!☮️💜🇿🇦🇵🇸
Beautiful Meital and the Jewish people against genocide. You are the true and righteous people.
Thank-you Meital. All power to you.
God bless you Meital Yaniv. May you be granted light and eternal life for having the strength and courage to speak out against those oppress and murder innocents. Always seek truth.
It’s not easy to go against the beliefs with which you were raised. With God’s Mercy and Love you will continue.
How brave. Truth to Power. Thank you democracy now and thank you Meital

The time has come.

“All of our missiles, the ammunition, the precision-guided bombs, all the airplanes and bombs, it’s all from the US,” retired Israeli Major General Yitzhak Brick told a columnist with the Jewish News Syndicate last month. “The minute they turn off the tap, you can’t keep fighting. You have no capability…Everyone understands that we can’t fight this war without the United States. Period.”
We are witnessing history 👏 Thanks to all peace makers heroes🕊️🌿
Good for her. These Israelis who are deprogamming themselves and raising the alarm; I have so much respect for. The Israelis need to follow their heart and not their human controllers that lead them to war.
Thank you for your story.🙏🙏🙏
So important to hear from people of other faiths. This is a humanitarian issue we need to promote peace and respect .❤❤❤
Powerful words. Thank you Ms Yaniv and Democracy Now
Me devolvéis la Fe en la humanidad 🤍🕊️🤍❤️
Thanks for the support and truth
Meital is so brave and enlightened. Thank you for speaking up
Thank you Meital for being so brave and so altruistic that you are willing to sacrifice your own family and friends so Palestine could be free. (as long as you are safe in the US protected by US army)
sarcasm anybody???
Greetings from Denmark. ❤
Respekt..... Meital, you're the hope for Israel.... Thanks. ❤
One thing I alway remember, be wary of people who use the word “THE” when “a” is far more accurate. They won’t count it as “a” or “the” when they repeat it.
Great guest, DNow! It’s refreshing to hear an Israeli speaking with the heart, regarding the differences between Jews. Meital should be on more RUclips shows. Grayzone, Max, Aaron, Katie, Due Dissidence,RBN all should reach out to interview Meital. 👍✌️
