Riff, the 10-year-old son of Israeli social media personality Natalie Dadon, has released a video addressing Hollywood star Angelina Jolie regarding the ongoing conflict. Dadon has been active in Israeli public diplomacy efforts online since the October 7th Hamas attacks, focusing on the massacre, hostages, and the fight against antisemitism.
Riff, speaking in fluent English, directly challenged Jolie's statements about the humanitarian situation in Gaza. While Jolie had previously condemned the Hamas attack as terrorism, she later issued strong criticism of Israeli actions in Gaza and called for a ceasefire.
In his video, Riff began by stating, "Even now I know you can't tell the whole story if you skip the beginning." He referenced the October 7th massacre, asking Jolie, "October 7th, families were murdered, children were kidnapped. Where are they in your post?"
He further urged Jolie to stand against Hamas if she cared about the children of Gaza. Riff concluded his message with a pointed statement: "And if you care about human rights, Jewish children count too."
The video emerges amidst a rise in global antisemitic incidents since October 7th and ongoing criticism of Israel's public diplomacy efforts. Many Israeli influencers and citizens are independently working to influence international discourse and present the Israeli perspective, with younger generations now joining this effort.
