Born in Iraq, Avi moved to Israel as a child, grew up there, and even served in the IDF. Today, he is one of the most prominent critics of Zionism and Israeli policies — a journey that gives him a unique and powerful perspective. We dive into his personal story, how his views evolved, and why he now speaks out so strongly against occupation and apartheid. Avi shares insights from his acclaimed works, including his new book - Genocide in Gaza: Israel’s Long War on Palestine, and exposes the myths that sustain injustice in Palestine.

C4P Lobby Presbyterian Church Assembly in Belfast
Members of C4P lobbied the Presbyterian Church in Ireland at their assembly in Belfast June 2025.
The 1300 attendees were issued with information leaflets each day outlining the plight of Palestinians in Gaza. The leaflets also illustrated the role of Presbyterians in the past challenging the slave trade and apartheid in South Africa. The suffering of Christians in Palestine was also brought to their attention.
The aim is to encourage PCI to explicitly support humanitarian relief for Palestine and solidarity with fellow Christians.
Irish Catholic Bishops Statement on Gaza
The Irish Catholic Bishops issued a statement on 12 June 2025 which condemn 'Genocidal actions sanctioned by the Government of Israel.
All parishes are asked to give expression to their solidarity with the suffering people of Gaza during June.'
Bishops stated the following concerning the humanitarian disaster in Gaza: “In Gaza people are starving and adequate aid is being denied; it seems clear that famine is being used as a weapon of war. Already over 600,000 Palestinians have been displaced. The evidence points to a staged strategy of ethnic cleansing aimed at removing the Palestinian people from their homes and their homeland. It is becoming increasingly clear to people on the ground that these are genocidal actions sanctioned by the Government of Israel.
“What is happening in Gaza – and the West Bank – is the death of tens of thousands of non-combatants, many of them women and children. This is unconscionable and disproportionate. It is immoral for world leaders to stand by inactively in the face of this outrageous tragedy for humanity.
“Words are not enough! There is an urgent need for the international community to intervene, cut off arms supplies and bring the carnage to an end. This will call for courage on the part of leaders. Examples of courage are being given every day by heroic doctors, nurses and aid workers risking their lives in service of the wounded and those who have been displaced.”
