3. @yosephhaddad: Yoseph Haddad, an Israeli Arab born in Haifa, has dedicated his life to showcasing the truth about the State of Israel within the international community, to fight BDS, and to improve relations between Arabs and Jews by bridging social gaps in Israel. He’s now a renowned lecturer, and addresses diverse communities, groups, and students across the globe. Yoseph has been named as one of the top 50 most influential pro-Israel voices online by Social Lite Creative and one of the top 40 digital influencers for Israel by JNS.
4. @zionessmovement: The Zioness Movement is a proud progressive and unapologetically Zionist group of Jewish activists and allies who are fighting together for progressive domestic policies and values. They’re committed to fighting for Zionism and the inclusion of Zionists in social justice spaces, as Zionism is a progressive value and a movement for the liberation and national self-determination of the Jewish people in their indigenous homeland. Zioness recognizes that, far too often, American Jews are presented with a false binary choice: one must choose to either be an American progressive and a Jew, or a Zionist.
