Noam Bedein, the director of the Sderot Media Centre, spoke on all three Vancouver Hillel campuses, building understanding of the real challenges facing Israelis living on the frontline of terrorism. Bedein is a young Israeli activist, photojournalist and leader whose message is simply that Israel faces mounting threats not only from Iran’s nuclear preparations, but from Iran’s proxy war against Israel, through Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Noam draws no conclusions for his audiences; he presents the reality of daily life in Sderot and allows the viewer to draw their own conclusions about the way ahead.
