Aby Volcovich - IDF Reservist: Fighting On Two Fronts
Aby Volcovich has spent the past 4 months on the front lines in Israel. Before Octoer 7th, he had just started a job with DiploAct, an organization that works strengthen Israsel's voice on the global stage. While serving in active duty, Aby hasn't taken off his "hasbara hat," sharing content from the field to help fight this tumultuous media war.
When speaking, Aby shared how painful it was that he couldn't use his phone for the entire first month in battle; and not because he wanted to be scrolling on social media or calling friends and family. It was painful because he knew how the world was likely reacting to Israel's response and he wanted to be able to shed light on the situation.
Aby is originally from Mexico, moving to Canada when he was a child, and later moving to Israel to serve as a lone soldier. Join me as I sit down with Aby to hear about his experience moving to Israel as a lone soldier, what he's seen during this war, the narrative he is trying to tell, and what he thinks we all need to be focusing on in these times.
