Sammy Yahood – Founder of Peace Through Strength (PTS) | London ➝ Israel

Known to thousands online as 

“Sammy Yahood,”

 this young Israeli activist has become one of the most passionate and unapologetic voices for the Jewish people today. Originally from northwest London, Sammy made aliyah to Israel 

a year ago

, leaving a comfortable life in real estate to dedicate himself to 

defending and inspiring Am Yisrael

.

At just 25 years old, Sammy’s journey has been extraordinary. Born to a family of Jews from Arab lands, he grew up in a close-knit British community before discovering his calling as a social media warrior and truth-teller. Adopting the name 

Yahood

 — Arabic for “Jew” — he first gained attention by going undercover at anti-Israel protests in London, exposing antisemitism and misinformation with courage and conviction.

Since then, Sammy has built a powerful following on 

Instagram

 and 

X

, motivating Jews worldwide to stand tall, speak proudly, and never apologize for their identity. After the Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023, he committed fully to 

“fighting for Am Yisrael”

 — becoming, in his words, 

“a modern Maccabi leading from the front.”

A 

Krav Maga instructor

, 

Birthright Israel counselor

, and passionate advocate for aliyah, Sammy continues to inspire Jews everywhere to come home to Israel and live boldly as 

Am Yisrael Chai

.

Sammy will also share his firsthand experience of rising antisemitism in the UK, how similar threats are emerging in the US, and why Israel is the frontline of Jewish survival. He calls on communities to defend peace 

through strength

 — reclaiming courage, personal accountability, and fortitude in the face of global challenges.
