About Yoni Diller...

Yoni Diller is an Israeli multilingual advocacy activist, fluent in three mother tongues: Italian, English, Spanish and Hebrew. His areas of focus include combating antisemitism, building national and personal mental resilience, analyzing regional geopolitics, and promoting Jewish heritage. Yoni also writes for the blogs of Times of Israel, covering topics such as geopolitical strategy, Jewish identity, and history.

After significant military service in the elite "Egoz" commando unit, Yoni embarked on a three-year world tour during which he volunteered, worked, and traveled across five different continents. Upon his return to Israel, he graduated with honors, earning a bachelor's degree in government and a master's degree in communication from Reichman University. Throughout his professional activity, he held a series of diplomatic leadership roles in the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and international organizations and led strategic activities and business development in the local and international arena. Yoni is a member of the young leadership organization "ACCESS" on behalf of the American Jewish Committee (AJC), and an active member of the global StandWithUs advocacy community.

During the events of October 7th, Yoni experienced the terror firsthand when he miraculously survived the massacre carried out by Hamas activists at the "NOVA" party in Re'im. This shattering experience motivated him to intensify his efforts to combat the global wave of antisemitism, with an emphasis on campaigns on campuses in the United States and Europe, and to spread messages of hope by sharing his testimony from the massacre and his chilling survival story. Yoni has been interviewed by a variety of leading international media outlets, including Fox News, NBC, Sky News, and RAI, and has delivered countless lectures on campuses in the United States, such as Columbia University, Harvard, MIT, NYU, Princeton, and Yale. Alongside his advocacy initiative, Yoni serves as an ambassador for the "Central Arrow" association, where he works to raise donations for the procurement of tactical and medical equipment for security forces.

In his lectures, Yoni emphasizes the importance of hope and national resilience as a basis for the continued existence of the Jewish people in Israel and around the world and provides the audience with practical tools for dealing with manifestations of antisemitism and hatred. Through his supreme motivation and passion to reach the heart of every person, Yoni aspires to create a better world in which global Jewish unity prevails, stemming from a connection to history and heritage. Furthermore, he works to empower Jewish communities around the world, while placing emphasis on bridging the gap between Diaspora Jewry and Israeli Jewry and echoing his survival story for the commemoration of the fallen and out of a moral obligation to spread the truth in the face of the distortion of global justice.
