    <description>Whether through work or at play, I&apos;ve had the good fortune of meeting some pretty prolific people. On &apos;I&apos;m That&apos;, we have a chat about who they are, what they do, and why. It may be deep. Profound. Funny. Many times, all of the above. But it&apos;s always honest.

There&apos;s nothing wrong with the fact that people want to stand up for the Palestinians or support a Palestinian state. That&apos;s that&apos;s actually perfectly reasonable. The problem is, is when they&apos;re choosing to express themselves by going to a Jewish Community Center or a synagogue or a Jewish owned business and chant globalized the Intifada, or any of these other genocidal chants, that&apos;s a problem.

      <itunes:summary>&quot;One of the things that I hear people talking about a ton outside of Israel, around anti semitism, is we just learned that the history of Jews is still the history of Jews. That&apos;s something we had heard about that sounded like it happened to a different generation, that we were maybe post historical in some way that that&apos;s not true the trauma of Jew hatred, right? And so we are trying to change our outlook and our understanding of how the world relates to us and what we need to do to keep our families safe and to move forward. And some people are frozen and reeling. Some people are distancing themselves and trying to suppress their Jewish identity and pass in a lot of situations, as not Jewish, even in their own minds. In some ways, here&apos;s what I want everybody to know, resilience is not the lack of emotional experience. It&apos;s not a lack of difficult emotions or frustration or anger or sadness or worry. Resilience is the ability to navigate change towards a positive goal.&quot;</itunes:summary>

So I was a singer for years. I performed with my band, and you play your song, and the moment it ends, people will clap their hands, and it&apos;s very civil, and that&apos;s it.

      <title>Yechiel Jacobs, Comedian &amp; Advocate</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What most people know about Yechiel Jacobs is how he makes so many people cry with laughter on Instagram about some serious Jewish subjects. He's only 23 years old, he's fearless, funny as s**t, and his comedic star is rising as he captivates audiences on and offline with his one-of-a-kind approach.<br /><br />He asks the tough questions and skewers the people promoting the lies and hypocrisy about Israel and the Jewish People, and he doesn’t stand for the craziness that’s running rampant today. He doesn’t hold back and has no fear when it comes to the haters. He just uses his unforgettable voice to get straight to the heart of any issue, break it down, and give his hilarious take on what’s really happening.<br /><br />One of the things I love about Yehiel is his unique ability to use comedy so powerfully to spark conversations and awareness about what's happening to the Jewish People and in Israel. That voice, his physicality, and his fearlessness all combine with intense smarts and funny to make you laugh out loud about some very unfunny subjects. Follow him on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jacobsyechiel/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@YechielJacobs" target="_blank">YouTube</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@jacobsyechiel" target="_blank">TikTok</a></p>

      <title>Hillel Neuer, Executive Director UN Watch</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>International lawyer, diplomat, writer and activist, Hillel C. Neuer is the Executive Director of UN Watch, a human rights NGO in Geneva, Switzerland. He holds four degrees including an honorary degree from McGill University for his work to advance human rights, and for being “a voice for those without one.” </p><p>On September 14, 2016, the City of Chicago and Mayor Rahm Emanuel adopted a resolution declaring <a href="https://unwatch.org/city-chicago-declares-today-hillel-neuer-day/">Hillel Neuer Day</a>, citing his role “as one of the world’s foremost human rights advocates” and his contributions to “promote peace, justice and human rights around the world.”</p><p>The<i>Tribune de Genève</i> has described him as a human rights activist who is <a href="https://unwatch.org/tribune-de-geneve-profile-hillel-neuer-the-human-rights-activist/">“feared and dreaded”</a> by the world’s dictatorships.</p><p>The <i>Journal de Montreal</i> wrote that he “<a href="https://unwatch.org/montrealer-makes-un-tremble-2/">makes the U.N. tremble</a>.”</p><p>Israel’s <i>Ma’ariv</i> newspaper named him to its list of the “Top 100 Most Influential Jewish People in the World.”</p><p>Hillel Neuer is an acclaimed speaker who has testified often before the United Nations and the United States Senate and House of Representatives. Hillel taught international human rights at the Geneva School of Diplomacy, and has <a href="https://unwatch.org/un-watch-director-elected-vice-president-ngo-human-rights-committee/">served</a> as Vice-President of the NGO Special Committee on Human Rights in Geneva.</p><p>Since 2009, he has headed a coalition of 25 human rights groups as chair of the annual <a href="http://www.genevasummit.org/">Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy</a>, a renowned international gathering that provides a global platform to courageous pro-democracy dissidents from around the world who put their lives on the line to demand fundamental freedoms in oppressive regimes. <i>Concordia University Magazine </i><a href="https://unwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/HILLEL_NEUER_PROFILED_CONCORDIA_UNIVERSITY.pdf">said</a> he is “helping to shape history.”</p><p>Prior to joining UN Watch, Hillel practiced commercial and <a href="http://www.clearinghouse.net/detailPerson.php?id=1561">civil rights</a> litigation and even represented <a href="http://www.plainsite.org/flashlight/case.html?id=348731">Oprah Winfrey</a> and other high-profile individuals and corporations.  </p><p>In 2007, Hillel Neuer’s <a href="https://unwatch.org/site/apps/nlnet/content2.aspx?c=bdKKISNqEmG&b=1313923&ct=3698367">banned U.N. speech</a> became the most viewed and written-about NGO speech in the history of the United Nations. News reports <a href="https://unwatch.org/speech">described</a> it as a “stunning rebuke of the U.N. Human Rights Council” and “a diplomatic moment to remember.” In 2017, Neuer’s “Where Are Your Jews?” speech before the UNHRC, replicated in multiple languages across social media, was seen 3 million times on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/unwatch/videos/10154249843651561/?__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARB3MoHrAbxHZaPKJqlkuIZT0tlTF7wYUbzc39LZHsxSghWp-rU8IgUw9Mq4V0CLOXFCWgeH6kEOPj2mw510krvZZQxOYbJez14A4a462mudjgtn4GKG5yzwFiwWIhcCgM6ZhF4yDYYtFxOwSMUJ7-eCvhp9tjUT2xHEAkO8dZ-cKYV9LFSuLe2iO6HzuB1SFABM1mK5Toln4EWkrZioa_dMxdNJL11W-_wdAqh3CV0x3HmxlJtcQmOAL4KUducqJ33GXwHBU24rDxAjzPYejR7hSsnF5Zbps6MblInuSTsAZ9f08_kgalFcMcjcOjcQTAMzKZyV469TgxhLZNkxIuU3bndEF-h4x2WG7Q&__tn__=H-R">Facebook</a> and nearly 5 million times on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35eEljsSQfc">YouTube</a>.</p>

He holds four degrees including an honorary degree from McGill University for his work to advance human rights, and for being “a voice for those without one.” </p><p>On September 14, 2016, the City of Chicago and Mayor Rahm Emanuel adopted a resolution declaring <a href="https://unwatch.org/city-chicago-declares-today-hillel-neuer-day/">Hillel Neuer Day</a>, citing his role “as one of the world’s foremost human rights advocates” and his contributions to “promote peace, justice and human rights around the world.”</p><p>The<i>Tribune de Genève</i> has described him as a human rights activist who is <a href="https://unwatch.org/tribune-de-geneve-profile-hillel-neuer-the-human-rights-activist/">“feared and dreaded”</a> by the world’s dictatorships.</p><p>The <i>Journal de Montreal</i> wrote that he “<a href="https://unwatch.org/montrealer-makes-un-tremble-2/">makes the U.N. tremble</a>.”</p><p>Israel’s <i>Ma’ariv</i> newspaper named him to its list of the “Top 100 Most Influential Jewish People in the World.”</p><p>Hillel Neuer is an acclaimed speaker who has testified often before the United Nations and the United States Senate and House of Representatives. Hillel taught international human rights at the Geneva School of Diplomacy, and has <a href="https://unwatch.org/un-watch-director-elected-vice-president-ngo-human-rights-committee/">served</a> as Vice-President of the NGO Special Committee on Human Rights in Geneva.</p><p>Since 2009, he has headed a coalition of 25 human rights groups as chair of the annual <a href="http://www.genevasummit.org/">Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy</a>, a renowned international gathering that provides a global platform to courageous pro-democracy dissidents from around the world who put their lives on the line to demand fundamental freedoms in oppressive regimes. <i>Concordia University Magazine </i><a href="https://unwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/HILLEL_NEUER_PROFILED_CONCORDIA_UNIVERSITY.pdf">said</a> he is “helping to shape history.”</p><p>Prior to joining UN Watch, Hillel practiced commercial and <a href="http://www.clearinghouse.net/detailPerson.php?id=1561">civil rights</a> litigation and even represented <a href="http://www.plainsite.org/flashlight/case.html?id=348731">Oprah Winfrey</a> and other high-profile individuals and corporations.  </p><p>In 2007, Hillel Neuer’s <a href="https://unwatch.org/site/apps/nlnet/content2.aspx?c=bdKKISNqEmG&b=1313923&ct=3698367">banned U.N. speech</a> became the most viewed and written-about NGO speech in the history of the United Nations. News reports <a href="https://unwatch.org/speech">described</a> it as a “stunning rebuke of the U.N. Human Rights Council” and “a diplomatic moment to remember.” In 2017, Neuer’s “Where Are Your Jews?” speech before the UNHRC, replicated in multiple languages across social media, was seen 3 million times on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/unwatch/videos/10154249843651561/?__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARB3MoHrAbxHZaPKJqlkuIZT0tlTF7wYUbzc39LZHsxSghWp-rU8IgUw9Mq4V0CLOXFCWgeH6kEOPj2mw510krvZZQxOYbJez14A4a462mudjgtn4GKG5yzwFiwWIhcCgM6ZhF4yDYYtFxOwSMUJ7-eCvhp9tjUT2xHEAkO8dZ-cKYV9LFSuLe2iO6HzuB1SFABM1mK5Toln4EWkrZioa_dMxdNJL11W-_wdAqh3CV0x3HmxlJtcQmOAL4KUducqJ33GXwHBU24rDxAjzPYejR7hSsnF5Zbps6MblInuSTsAZ9f08_kgalFcMcjcOjcQTAMzKZyV469TgxhLZNkxIuU3bndEF-h4x2WG7Q&__tn__=H-R">Facebook</a> and nearly 5 million times on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35eEljsSQfc">YouTube</a>.</p>

      <title>Troy Gua, Artist</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Born and raised in Seattle, <a href="https://troygua.com/" target="_blank">Troy Gua</a> is a passionately creative Artist.</p><p>He's a self-taught artist, designer, maker, and tinkerer, continuously cultivating a prolific output of smart, bold work in a diverse range of media, produced with wit and a crisp visual aesthetic. </p><p>He is well known within the Purple Prince family for his 'Le Petit Prince' series of lovingly detailed and meticulously staged photographs - a surreal reimagining, in sculptural miniature, of the life and career of Prince Rogers Nelson, his artistic hero and his life’s and work’s most profound influence and inspiration.
