AFCFP Board Secretary/Treasurer

“Growing up in Haifa, Israel, a city of coexistence between all religions has profoundly imprinted in me our basic need for acceptance of others and peaceful coexistence between peoples. Serving in the IDF I was stationed in Lebanon, the West Bank, Gaza and the Jordan valley among others – where I experienced the cycle of violence first hand. I realized that my military service ran counter to the values that I grew up with. When I entered the military I thought I was doing it to protect my family – but I realized that by engaging in violence, I was only perpetuating the cycle even further. It was this experience that taught me the need to make a choice, and I choose peace. Since then, traveling the world as an artist has strengthened my resolve. With each passing day, I realize more and more that the need for this choice is a global one! It is up to each of us to make the decision to walk away from violence, occupation and unnecessary war – and forge a new path.” – Michael
