More than 100 social media influencers gathered in Tel Aviv-Jaffa on Tuesday for the “Voices for Truth: Israel Edition” summit organized by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM).
The daylong forum offered leading Israel-based digital creators and storytellers a hands-on, action-driven experience designed to forge unity in the fight against antisemitism and extremism.
The event followed May’s U.S.-oriented “Voices for Truth” summit in Miami, Florida.

Tuesday’s program was highlighted by inspiring keynotes, interactive strategy sessions, targeted workshops, and collaborative content creation labs.
In his presentation, CAM CEO Sacha Roytman said, “We cannot defeat Qatar, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and China by using the same tools they use against us. Israel, though outnumbered, built its military superiority by developing unique capabilities of its own. The West must do the same to block the infiltration of our nations. At CAM, we are waging that asymmetric fight, building the tools and capabilities to push back against these forces.”
“AI is democratizing technology,” he noted. “For the first time, we have the same tools, the same information, and the same capabilities as our adversaries. This changes how we defend ourselves. We are building at CAM new layers of defense — detection systems that expose coordinated networks and content campaigns that fight back at scale. This is a moment of opportunity, and we have to seize it.”
“We don’t need to win, we cannot afford to lose,” Roytman emphasized.
Featured speakers at the summit included: Political commentator Hillel Kornwasser; Israeli judo Olympic medalist Shira Rishony, Creator Talia Yoseph; Let’s Do Something CEO Baruch Apisdorf, Co-Founder and CMO Moshe Shear, and CCO Daniel Braun; Meta Public Policy Director (Israel and Jewish Diaspora) Jordana Cutler and Head of Communications (Israel) Maayan Sarig; Humanz CEO Liran Liberman; Influencer Joseph Cohen; Barzel Media Founder and CEO Brian Spivak; Head of Arab Media Division in IDF Spokesperson’s Unit Col. (Res.) Avichay Adraee; Miss Universe Israel 2026 Danielle Yablonka; and CAM Director of Influencer Engagement Yana Naftalieva.
Recalling her experiences representing Israel in international competitions, Rishony said, “I was stepping onto the mat with an entire nation behind me. That’s when I realized my fight was more than for a medal. It was to be a Jew without fear.”
Israeli Olympian Shira Rishony believed judo was built on respect.
Then she stepped onto the mat and was booed for being Jewish.

Adraee talked about his work communicating directly with the Arab world on behalf of Israel. “We switched missiles to words,” he said.
“Technology enables us to be many little Davids against a giant Goliath,” Adraee added. “Together, we can be a great megaphone, and we should support each other.”
