Rich Siegel is a very talented pianist and singer who journeyed from being an ardent Zionist, and who even lived in Israel. Rich delved into the Zionist beliefs he held so dear and found that the “facts” he had learned were wanting. After a thorough investigation into the Israel/Palestine conflict, he became an activist for peace and justice for Palestinians. In this remarkable, 12 minute video, Rich performs his haunting composition, “In Palestine,” and talks about his journey out of Zionism, and, how he came to write the song. Rich performs in the New York City area. To find out where Rich is playing, check out his website.
