Be like Rawan Osman

April 25, 2026:

“”A man sitting next to me on the plane asked what I did for a living. I told him I was a public speaker. He followed up, naturally, by asking what I spoke about, and I answered: antisemitism in the Arab world. But that was not precise. The truth is more specific, and perhaps more controversial.

I am a professional advocate for the State of Israel. I make my living speaking at institutions and events around the world, often invited because of the content I share online and the perspective I bring. My work is rooted in a personal story that many find difficult to place: I was born to Lebanese and Syrian Muslim parents, and yet I have chosen to stand publicly and unapologetically with Israel.

The real question, then, is not what I do, but why I do it.

I grew up in Lebanon in an environment shaped by both Christians and Muslims, each deeply convinced of the flaws and failures of the other. Observing this constant mutual discrediting led me, at a relatively young age, to distance myself from both. I became what others would label an atheist, not out of rebellion but out of a sense that the versions of faith presented to me were too simplistic, too centered on fear, and ultimately unconvincing. I did not feel that morality required the presence of a watchful, punitive creator—a kind of big brother.

At the same time, I was growing up in a region defined by recurring conflict. War was not an abstract concept; it was part of the fabric of daily life. Over time, I came to believe that the Arab-Israeli conflict, often framed in political or territorial terms, was in fact deeply rooted in religious narratives and identities. I found that both frustrating and, at times, absurd, and eventually it contributed to my decision to leave.

I lived in several countries—France, Cyprus, and eventually Germany—each move an attempt, in part, to put distance between myself and the environment I had grown up in. Settling in Germany required significant effort, not least because of the language, which I had to learn from scratch. Yet just as I began to establish a sense of stability, I witnessed the arrival of large numbers of refugees from Syria. With them came cultural, political, and religious dynamics that felt strikingly familiar.

For a moment, I considered leaving again. But by then, Germany was the seventh country I had lived in, and it became clear to me that constantly moving was not a solution. The Middle East is not something one can simply leave behind; it is part of one’s identity, whether one wishes it or not. I realized that if I ever wanted my peace of mind, something fundamental would have to change in the Middle East.

I came to the conclusion that as long as the Palestinian cause remains the central lens through which the region defines itself, many societies in the Middle East will struggle to address their own internal challenges. In my view, genuine progress requires a shift in focus, and ultimately, a reconciliation between Israel and the Arab world.

With that in mind, I decided to return to academia. I studied both Islamic and Jewish Studies at Heidelberg University, not simply out of intellectual curiosity, but in search of a deeper understanding of the forces shaping the region I came from. It was during this period that my perspective began to change in ways I had not anticipated.

Through my studies, I developed a profound appreciation for Judaism, for the historical experience of the Jewish people, and for the reality of Israel. What struck me most was not perfection, but resilience: the ability of a people to maintain continuity, identity, and purpose despite centuries of displacement and adversity. I came to see Israel as a remarkable project, one that emerged and endured against considerable odds.

At a more personal level, I also discovered that my connection to this story was not only intellectual. Even before any genetic confirmation, I began to feel that I was, in some sense, part of it. That realization was both meaningful and complicated, because it carried consequences.

I understood that taking a public stand in support of Israel would create distance between myself and parts of my background. It could mean missing funerals, losing relationships, and being unable to share in moments that matter in the lives of people I care about. These are not abstract sacrifices; they are real and ongoing.

And yet, despite that cost, I chose this path deliberately.

On October 7th, I felt that choice in its most immediate and personal form. I put everything else aside and went to Israel, not as an observer or commentator, but out of a sense of responsibility and solidarity. I wanted to stand with people I had come to see as part of my extended family, to offer support, and to affirm that they were not alone.

My work today is a continuation of that commitment. It is not only about speaking, but about bridging worlds that remain deeply divided, and about making the case—often to skeptical audiences—that a different future for the Middle East is possible.

So I suppose the most honest way to describe what I do is this: I am a professional advocate for Israel—and I do it out of love, conviction, and a deep admiration for a people and a story that I chose, and that in many ways, chose me.””

Terrorists live among us and are now overtly calling for genocide of a real nation, to be replaced by their fake notions and false narratives. A Palestine people NEVER existed until it was invented in the mid 1960s by Arafat and his accomplices, the Soviets.

When one takes a step back and looks at everything since October 7, one notices something that has all but been ignored.

October 7 wasn't just a horrific massacre. It was a HUNT. Thousands of Gazans (both Hamas militants, Palestinian Islamic Jihad members, and civilians) came into southern Israel and they literally hunted Israelis down. It didn’t matter who the Israelis were. They didn’t distinguish between man, woman or child, or between soldiers and civilians. It was like duck hunting season, or deer hunting season, just on that day it wasn’t ducks or deer. It was Israelis. On that day, and every day since, Israelis were no longer seen as humans. We were simply prey for the hunters. Trophies for their walls. A bunch of people with a bucketload of oil money paid a bunch of people to go hunt them some trophies.

The joy and celebration in the voices of the hunters, was similar to all those videos you’d find of European or American big game hunters in the savanna of Africa. Some will shoot a buck. But the big prize for them are lions or elephants or even rhinos. And when they’ve hunted them down and killed them, you frequently seem them they cheerfully posing on the bodies of their trophies or crouching down next to the corpses for a boasting selfie, then proceed to cut their heads off or their tusks to hang on a wall or turn into a rug.

Well, those lions or elephants on October 7 were us. They were Israelis. Men, women, children, Holocaust survivors… it didn’t matter to the hunters. All they wanted was a wall full of heads. They even phoned home to their families to proudly boast about how many they killed.

But the hunt didn’t end on October 7. Nope. That ecstasy was like a drug. Millions upon millions of people, young people especially, who spent the previous decade sitting at home wasting their lives on a PlayStation console or an X-box with an R18 game where they took pleasure shooting people and blood spilling everywhere and explosions and murder… those young desensitized people got to see a bunch of psychopaths doing everything they’d seen and done in a game, but just in real life. And instead of feeling sickened and repulsed by it, they felt excitement. They felt this rush of adrenaline. They felt like their fantasy of the game was brought to life, and so every day since October 7 has become a hunt, everywhere.

But Israelis were so far away from all those US and European campuses. So they created their own trophies… Jews. But they didn’t want to be seen as bad people hunting Jews. They didn’t want to be the Nazis they role played on their console games. So they convinced themselves, with help from that same bunch of people with bucketloads of oil money, that it wasn’t Jews they were hunting. It was Zionists. Now they could pretend that Jews weren’t actually Jews, because dehumanizing us into trophies wasn’t bad enough. Now we got to be dehumanized a second time, and we were just Zionists. In their sick fantasies, they made us Zionists the Nazis, so it would be quite ok in their eyes to hunt us down.

For two years we’ve been hunted. It was ok to hunt us down, because a new bunch of people with microphones and headphones would spread their modern day blood libels. They'd tell them that Zionists are evil. Zionists are Nazis. Zionists did 9/11 and killed JFK and “poisoned the wells” and were controlling the government and media and banks and everything. The evil Zionists controlled the weather and were responsible for every bad thing in the world. World War One was because of the Jews. World War Two was because of the Jews. Global warming was Jewish. So to them it’s ok to hunt the Jews, ummm, the Zionists.

Whatever it takes to justify what they’re doing, they’re doing it and saying it. You wanna know how 6 million Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis? Just look around you. What you see literally everywhere is exactly what created it and allowed it.

And you know what’s worse? It’s that another Holocaust is coming. Not the fake one they’ve concocted in Gaza, but on your streets and your communities and your universities.

It’s Jew hunting season, and millions are loving it and cheering it on.<<
