Jewish Filmmaker Yuula Benivolski Renounces Her Israeli Citenship

Toronto-based Jewish filmmaker Yuula Benivolski discussing her decision to renounce her Israeli citizenship. After considering her options for a long time, Benivolski was prompted to make this decision in light of Israel’s assault on Gaza. She felt strongly that Israel’s treatment of its own people was inhumane and that the state didn’t prioritize the well-being of its citizens. Although she recognizes that this decision may strain her relationships with family and friends, Benivolski believes it is necessary to take a stand against Israel’s actions. Ultimately, she encourages others to reflect on the factors that led to her decision and consider further what it means to renounce citizenship. #palestine #israel #israelpalestineconflict #judaism #citizenship To learn more about our projects, visit #muslimcentral #muslim #islam credit @aljazeeraenglish
