David Ha ivri

David Ha'ivri believes in engaging with people. He is an expert communicator, and for years has used the Internet and social media networks as a means of personally interacting with thousands of people from all walks of life. He is a powerful speaker who has shared his convictions and inspired live audiences from Melbourne, Australia to Sacramento, California. He has met with government officials on five continents and maintains open lines with hundreds of international journalists. He is often called on to comment for major international news outlets - CNN, Al-Jazeera, and CBN, to name a few. His opinion pieces appear regularly in Hebrew and English publications like YourMiddleEast.com, Ynetnews.com, IsraelNationalNews.com, TimesOfIsrael.com and others.

David is a man of faith; he believes that the Jewish people are realizing their destiny though Zionism, the gathering of the people from the four corners of the globe and building a country and unique society. In his eyes, these investments lead to the higher goal of becoming a “light unto the nations.” He believes that peace can be achieved in the Middle East through mutual respect and appreciation that does not require Israel relinquishing any part of its land or compromising its security.

Although solid in his convictions, David is not afraid to discuss his views with those who oppose them, or with representatives of other faiths. He has appeared in live and recorded debates, as well as multinational interfaith conferences and forums. In his view, people need not agree in order to respect each other, and even in places of conflicting interest, there are common interests to be found. He believes in investing efforts for the enhancement of positive potential rather than wasting energy on fears of the unknown that may never materialize.
