Eitan Chitayat is a branding expert, creative director, business consultant, and public speaker who resides in Tel Aviv. (He has also lived in Hong Kong, London, New York, and Boston.) Chitayat created a video titled “I’m That Jew” and gave a Ted Talk about the story behind the video and the response it elicited. Both his Ted Talk and “I’m That Jew” — which have been viewed more than 10 million times — are linked below.
Quote: “My name is Eitan Chitayat and I am that Jew. Lest any Jew forgets — because of all the violence directed at us, the hatred, the incitement to harm and kill [us], the vile words, the rocks, the knives, and the deafening silence of the world that we all feel right now — we should be proud of our heritage just like anyone else on this planet.”
Note: Eitan wrote that during a wave of Palestinian stabbings of civilians in Israel.
