I’m not a stereotype. I’m that Jew. | Eitan Chitayat | TEDxZuriberg

In this deeply personal and inspirational talk, Creative Director Eitan Chitayat describes why he felt compelled to create “I’m that Jew” a 6-minute stereotype-defying tour de force in response to the 2015 Charlie Hebdo and kosher supermarket attacks in Paris. Upon its release, the video instantly went viral. Millions of all faiths around the world were touched by this profound yet simple reminder that we should all be able to celebrate the truth and beauty of our identity – without fear, without shame, and without apology.

Well done . I was brought up in a Muslim back ground but I could never swallow why should Jewish people be negatively targeted from different perspectives either religiously or ethnically. But although it is sickening how much suffering Jews experienced in their long history, they are an encouraging nation to other peoples , in faith, patience, courage and hard work

After the most recent senseless attacks on the Jewish community, I feel inspired to like and share this video.

[lyaellevin]

And now Eitan, we are suffering even worse, horrible, horrors in our own homeland… when will this end, why do they hate us?

[joshuapaulbrooks]

This has helped me immensely. Thank you 🙏 I served in Afghanistan in 2011, and the entire world is an aching mess. We all need each other. Everyone on Earth.

Thanks for sharing your powerful message of Jewish pride! So important as hate and terror sadly continues against Israel and the Jewish community and others.

Beautifully expressed, deep, authentic and soulful. An inner journey Jews and Non-Jews need to take..."Who am I, Why am I? It's the journey of an examined life! Bravo Eitan.

Well done Eitan, discrimination in every form is abhorrent to me too. Although being comfortable with and unafraid of who I am has taken me longer than I thought it ever would, I remain thankful that I did set out on that venture and eventually complete it.

I’ve never seen more hate online about a certain group more than the jews I really feel bad for them

[shaguirre]

I love your video. It touches my heart & soul for a reason I couldn't explain before because I am not Jewish. After listening to this, I understand why. Peace

[karenterrell]

I’m not Jewish, and I love and appreciate your video

[CrossTrain]

Incredible! Simply and comprehensively incredible! Thank you.

[lyrickoner]

Al hamdulillah I'm a Muslim. To anyone who wants to know the Truth, sincerely ask God Almighty to guide you.

United we stand.

[anjelamah]

How come I can’t find the video on YouTube?

[Luaump]

Anyone has a list of all the people that appears in the video? Very curious about some of the movie scenes!

[karenc]

As always, Eitan, your authenticity is deeply appreciated and raises the bar for all of us!

[artinaharonian]

This is very one sided...almost propagandistic in a subtle way...no mention or acknowledgement of the injustices the Palestinians have suffered.

[LeonKesler]

Spoken well Eitan. l Admire your work. keep it coming!

[GBryce]

So everyone is allowed to be proud except whites?
