The Jewish influencer from the US: "We are fighting the same war" | Watch

American Zionist influencer and activist Lizzie Savetsky toured the Samaria region with C14 English, visiting the Peduel observation point and Avichai Farm. She addressed the security importance of Israeli control in the area, the gap between reality and American media portrayals, and criticized established Jewish organizations in the US for failing to combat rising antisemitism despite large financial resources.

American Zionist influencer and activist Lizzie Savetsky embarked on a day-long tour of the Samaria region alongside C14 English. During the visit, she sought to highlight the historical roots of the Jewish people in the area, its security significance, and the disparity between the reality on the ground and how it is presented in some American media outlets. The tour began at the Peduel observation point, known as "the balcony of the state." From the high vantage point, one can overlook the coastal plain, Ben Gurion Airport, and Israel's narrow waistline. Savetsky said that standing where their ancestors stood instills a sense of pride, but she immediately understood the immense danger Israel would face if it did not control the territory. Later, she arrived at Avichai Farm, where she was exposed to agricultural life in the area. She highlighted the gap between the quiet reality and the violent image portrayed, in her view, by some American media outlets. According to her, the October 7 massacre changed how Israelis view the region, and more and more people understand the strategic need for a presence there. Savetsky criticized the established Jewish organizations in the US, arguing that despite their large financial resources, they failed to combat rising antisemitism. She attacked the transfer of funds to the Gaza Strip while the security of New York's Jews is at risk. At the end of the tour, she addressed the Israeli public with a message of gratitude and solidarity: "We are fighting the same struggle. This is a global struggle for the Jewish people."
