Yoseph Haddad’s incredible journey is one of courage, resilience, and breaking barriers. Born in Haifa and raised in Nazareth, Yoseph is an Arab-Israeli Christian who chose an extraordinary path—serving in the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) as a volunteer. Despite being exempt from military service, he fought side by side with Jewish and Arab soldiers, even serving as a commander, and was gravely injured during the 2006 Second Lebanon War. Today, Yoseph is a powerful advocate for coexistence and unity, both in Israel and around the world. As the CEO of the nonprofit Together – Vouch for Each Other, he works tirelessly to bridge the gaps between Arab and Jewish communities in Israel, encourage Arab-Israeli integration into Israeli society, and combat misinformation and anti-Israel narratives on the global stage. In this video, we explore Yoseph's life: His decision to serve in the IDF and the challenges he faced as an Arab-Israeli soldier. The life-changing injury he sustained in Lebanon and his remarkable recovery. His fearless mission to speak the truth about Israel and fight extremism. How he confronts hate and stereotypes, inspiring millions to work toward coexistence. Yoseph’s unwavering commitment to his country and his vision of unity stand as a beacon of hope. If extremists can’t silence his voice, they can’t silence yours either. Together, we can make a difference.
