I am an Orthodox Rabbi living openly in Egypt. Though I am the only public Jew in the country, the Egyptian people affectionately call me the Chief Rabbi of Egypt.
There's so much that we — who know and love both Jews and Arabs — can help the world understand.
But the gatekeepers won't let the world ever know.
Maybe you can?
Here's my Friday Livestream. I don't mince words, so please don't expect a sanitized version or one where I say exactly what you would want me to say, but I speak the truth as I see it. And I have seen a lot.
Deep down everybody knows what is good and true, but people fear speaking aloud for reasons ranging from a dip in social status among their peer group, to death by fanatic, mob or government.
The New York Times and other major "attention conductors" [including the one we are currently reading] flatly deny my existence. And in doing so, they gaslight the world into believing that I CAN NOT exist as a Rabbi living very openly and safely in Egypt.

Slick Hasbara vs Sincere Hasbara
I posted the following video and received a publishable comment. You might not be able to see it because Google hides many comments even if I allow them through.
Oh, and I do mean that I am living OPENLY here in beautiful Egypt.
Those who control the attention of humankind know that the world wants to hear what I have to say. Yet they actively ignore the outreach they receive from people who have contacted the media at fairly high levels (e.g. New York Times, top social media platform owners, etc) asking for me to be interviewed or for my videos to be shared, or even offered to all of my 23,000 subscribers.
The response has inevitably been ghosting.
I understand their caution.
Hopefully they know that I am no danger to them personally. Our fellow human beings, including the current enslaving-elite ought not be “punished” on moral grounds, because in truth we have no enemies. Just brothers and sisters who tragically misunderstood the human family that includes us all.
But even knowing that, those millionaires and billionaires who sincerely understand and sympathize with my views and goals, choose to silence me instead. And while I, and hopefully you, will not confuse a few challenges for defeat, but will instead continue to advocate for ourselves and for the 99.9% of the humans just like us, I understand the ruling few’s point of view and can imagine that you or I might do the same thing in their position.
Which is why hating or loathing them is so obviously hypocritical.
Imagine that you are the billionaire owner of of one of the world's top 5 attention-controlling platforms, capable of deciding what conversations take place and therefore the boundaries of human society.
Let's be honest, the promise of brotherhood, while nice, is less promising than the certain control you already have over "We The People" or — more accurately to how we might actually see it — over "The Street".
But pessimism and surrender are not the nobler traits of our kind.
A human who values himself or herself doesn't give up.
So if you find my experience worthy of being shared with the world, please think of your greatest resource and give it a go.
For all we know, your own moderate breakthrough will burst the balloon, and I’ll finally be able to reach, encourage, and (if asked) help moderate public, multi-demographic conversation about each of our own genuine personal concerns, on a society-wide scale.
Leading, in short time I believe, to lives so much happier, and more authentically lived, that we will literally rejoice, and regard the current era as a dark age whose only meaningful brightness was the joy of freedom and pleasure we feel, bringing ourselves and the rest of our human family out of the mindless madness and into the friendly light of each other’s confidence, friendship, and more beautiful world.
