Disillusioned Yahav Erez

Arnon served in the Israeli Air Force intelligence unit which was operating in Gaza during the early 2000s. A few years later, once the war with Lebanon broke out, he decided to stop serving in the military. Throughout the years he was active in different joint initiatives with Palestinians and other groups, and today works as an educator in a kindergarten and as an eco-therapist. Arnon is constantly in search of ways to liberate himself and others from the many systems of oppression that are linked together for himself and for generations to come.

Ita Segev is a writer, performance artist, and organizer from Jerusalem who’s been living and making work in NY for the past 12 years. 

In this episode she charts the complex map she’s found towards her freedom as a trans woman, its relationship to Palestinian liberation, and her commitment to dismantling the split which allows people to dehumanize others while loving those they perceive to be “like them”.

Ita takes us through lessons from her Jewish ancestors, years of secrets and failed attempts to assimilate into militaristic toxic masculinity, the violence she witnessed during her army service, her desire to erase and escape her past in NYC, her learning from Black feminists, and embracing of her anti-Zionism and transness in an American context that never felt like her own. 

Coming back to Israel during Covid, more grounded in her sense of self and her beliefs, Ita shared how rediscovering the love she has for this land and her people reminded her not only what systems she is fighting against, but what future she is fighting for. 

You can follow Ita on Instagram at @Itaqt, and reach out to her for writing collaborations both for TV/film and for online publications.
