Seeing Israel Through a Wider Lens
Before this trip, I knew Israel largely through headlines — fragmented, politicized, and often reduced to conflict alone. What the American Israel Friendship League (AIFL) set out to do with this delegation was to broaden that lens.
Israel is not a one-dimensional story.
It is ancient and young. Sacred and modern. Grieving and innovative. A place where daily life continues — work, school, family, friendships — even under the weight of security concerns.
What struck me most was the resilience: a society shaped by thousands of years of history, immigration, innovation, and belief in education, medicine, and community.
This trip did not give me easy answers — but it gave me context, humanity, and a much wider lens. And that, I believe, is exactly what the American Israel Friendship League set out to do.
