This is an insightful post by Daniel Klein, who describes himself thus: I was born in Jerusalem and raised in a West Bank settlement inside religious-Zionism, before dismantling that ideology. I share testimony and witness in service of human liberation. Einat Temkin, an anti-Israel, anti-genocide Israeli who was born and raised in Israel, shared it on her Facebook. While the context was Zionism, this applies to any cult, including MAGA. Follow this link to access Daniel’s Substack account Truth and Reconciliation.

Whenever I encounter someone who has dismantled an ideology, I’m always interested in knowing why. Was it one transformative experience, an aha moment, a revelation, or was a series of experiences and insights?
