Muhammad Zoaibi

Activist

For an Arab teenager in Israel to call himself a Zionist is a life-endangering act, as 17 year-old Muhammad Zoaibi discovered last year. After posting a video on YouTube in which he demanded the release of the three Jewish teenagers abducted and eventually murdered by a Hamas cell in the West Bank, and wrapping himself in an Israeli flag for good measure, the death threats began flooding in. Zoaibi found sanctuary with Kay Wilson, a Jewish tour guide who survived a stabbing attack by a Palestinian terrorist in 2010. After moving for a few months to the United States, thanks to Wilson’s efforts, Zoaibi is now back in Israel, still wearing his Zionist affiliations as proudly as ever, and still determined to “show the world the real face of regular Arabs and Muslims who are simply sick of their leaders corruption and unlimited hate.”
