Ahmed Pak, who says he is a Pakistani Zionist & Ex Muslim, tells why he was able to break through the brainwashing he went through to hate Israel.
For 22 years, I was brainwashed to hate Israel. The society around me taught me that Jews were the problem with everything and that they were evil.
Then October 7th happened, and it completely changed my perspective on Israel. I saw videos of Hamas terrorists entering Israel, killing 1,200 civilians, and kidnapping 251 hostages. After that, I learned about Israel’s history and how it is the only Jewish country in the world. I discovered that the Jewish people have been fighting for 7 decades just to protect their culture and identity.
In late November 2023, I started using TikTok. I began making Jewish friends to discuss the conflict with them and to ask whether they consider themselves superior to others, as I had been told by the society here. To my surprise, all of them were kind and humble. Since then, I have become a Zionist and have continued advocating for the Jewish people across various social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok).
