DALIA ZIADA
WARRIOR OF LIGHT

August 16, 2024

In this powerful episode titled "Warrior of Light," we sit down with Dalia Ziada, an Egyptian writer, human rights activist, and advocate for peace in the Middle East. Dalia shares her incredible journey from leading a think tank in Egypt to escaping death threats and legal persecution after speaking out against Hamas. She calls for an innovative approach to education—not to make people pro-Israel, but to wake them up to the dangers of supporting terrorist organizations like Hamas. Dalia is currently a Senior Fellow for Research and Diplomacy in North America with the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.

As we delve into what it will take to wake up students on college campuses, Dalia sheds light on how misinformation and media manipulation are leading well-intentioned young people to unknowingly support harmful ideologies. She challenges us to rethink how we educate the next generation, moving beyond simplistic narratives and fostering critical thinking that encourages students to question and understand the true complexities of the Middle East.
