Canadian comedian Daniel Ryan Spaulding, known for his LGBTQ+ advocacy, has unexpectedly become a vocal supporter of Israel after a video criticizing support for Hamas and pointing out the irony of progressives went viral.
Spaulding’s journey began with a 2019 visit to Israel, where he explored diverse cities like Haifa and Tel Aviv.
Despite initial reservations due to negative portrayals of Israel, he discovered a vibrant, multi-racial society that challenged his preconceptions.
Now, Spaulding uses his platform to educate his audience about Israel’s diversity and the dangers of anti-Semitism. He draws parallels between radical Islamic terrorism and white supremacy, advocating for human rights and democracy.
