"I Was Inside the Anti-Israel Movement, And They Lied About the Jews" - Rabbi Tovia Singer

He spent 20 years inside the anti-Israel movement. What he heard off camera changed everything. Michael Gamal says he spent nearly 20 years inside pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel circles, believing Israel was the enemy and repeating the movement’s talking points. But after October 7, hostage posters, Iran’s attack on Israel, and the reaction of people around him, something broke. In this raw conversation with Rabbi Tovia Singer, Michael explains what activists really said when the cameras were off, why he believes the movement was never only about “Zionism,” and how anti-Zionist Jews were used as public cover. He also shares the painful personal cost of walking away: losing friends, cutting ties, and rebuilding his worldview from the ground up. This is not a polished political speech. It is a confession from someone who was inside the movement, believed it deeply, and now says the public narrative was hiding something much darker. Watch until the end.
