About
Arab-Israeli creator Muhammad Zoabi gained widespread attention in 2017 after he released a video condemning Hamas for the kidnapping of three Israeli students and stated his support for Israel. Since then, he has become an important voice in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Zoabi’s public support for Israel put his life at risk, leading to threats from terrorists, including some from within his own family. As a teenager, Zoabi was provided with a security detail by the Ministry of Education so that he could attend school safely.
The self-described proud Zionist told Aish in 2017, “I really believe that I’m a lucky Arab and a lucky human being and a lucky Middle Easterner, that I was born in this little tiny piece of land!”
Since Oct. 7, he has been sharing regular updates on what is happening in Israel, which are both supportive and lovingly critical at times. He updated his Instagram bio to include “Bring them back now” and uses his platform to respond to antisemitic and anti-Israel rhetoric circulating online.
Many of his videos involve him responding to other creators, calling out their misinformation and hate. As a self-proclaimed geography geek, Zoabi also produces videos about the history of the land.
