Following her public relations and fundraising efforts for Israel since the fighting began, Julia Hart, star of Netflix's hit reality docuseries "My Unorthodox Life," landed in Israel two days ago with Miriam and Shlomo, two of her four children, in order to continue exposing the world to what has been happening in Israel over the past two months.
With unconcealed excitement, Hart, 52, has been sharing her meetings and tours in Israel since landing her 546,<> Instagram followers, which so far have included a visit to Kibbutz Be'eri that particularly touched her. "I visited Kibbutz Be'eri where I witnessed with my own eyes the destruction and destruction that Hamas inflicted on farmers and innocent civilians," Hart shared in a video in which she is seen, among other things, standing on stage and in a voice choked with tears, telling of their heroism over those who were murdered defending the kibbutz, and also shares her meeting with Ella Ben Ami, whose mother Raz returned from captivity after two months and whose father Ohad is still kidnapped.

In the video, which also documents her visit to the site and the long text that accompanied it, Hart cries out about the pain that pierces her heart when she shares the fact that those who were murdered were good people, people of land and giving, many of whom also helped the Palestinians and were friends with them, and were murdered simply because they were Jews. "What happened has nothing to do with Israel, Palestine or politics," she said. "They targeted families with children. They were innocent victims, not soldiers. Good Samaritans who helped their neighbors in Gaza. And what did they get in return? They were murdered, tortured, raped and kidnapped.
"I was asked to speak in the hostage square, I met with the abductees who returned and with the families of the abductees who are still in captivity, and my heart was shattered. I can barely breathe. Everyone standing here is fighting for his right to exist. The right to live and walk in the country. That's the struggle. Point. When will the world understand that this has nothing to do with Jews or Muslims, and without the presence of Hamas, Gaza will be a place of peace and prosperity? Instead of using millions of dollars to fund terrorism, innocent peace-loving Gazans can live in harmony with their Jewish neighbors. Let's make peace in the Middle East. Stop Hamas."

Julia Hart was born Talia Leibow and grew up in a close-knit ultra-Orthodox community in Monsey, New York. At the age of 19, she married Yosef, and the couple had four children – Bathsheba, Shlomo, Miriam and Aaron. At the age of 42, she decided to leave the community, repeated the question, became a successful fashion personality and businesswoman, and even served as CEO of the Elite modeling agency.
In 2019, she married Silvio Scaglia, who bought the agency and appointed her CEO. In 2022, after three years of marriage during which she allegedly displayed abusive behavior toward her children, emotionally and verbally abused her and even threatened her life, the two divorced in a dirty, slanderous battle.
