Hello everyone, this is a topic I hoped I won't have to address, but you do deserve to hear this being fully transparent with you.

I am from Israel, born and raised since always.

When I first created my account as Soul, I wanted to stay away from my Irl persona, where I was born and where I was raised because I didn't want to get into it, I didn't want my country to defy me, my personality or my actions.

In short? I didn't want to be associated with my country, the same way people didn't want to be associated with Russia because of what has been done to Ukraine.

I wanted to make my account fandom only, and I didn't even mention anything about the war, any of the wars on my account, I didn't favor anything or anyone.

The only “crime” I have committed was to be born and raised in a country in which we all hate the government for their actions, not only towards Gaza but towards its own people as well.

But I do want to come out and say I do support Palestine, even though I didn’t say it publicly and aloud on my account, or didn't re-tweet posts at all or spoke about the matter.

And just like when people found out where I was from reached out to me and asked me to talk about it, you all could've reached out to me as well and asked me who I support, and I would've gladly answered.

I do promise to speak more and be more active about it (when I have the chance) and I hope you won't let my home country defy who I am as a person.

And if you feel uncomfortable with me because of where I was from, that is fine too. Feel free to unfollow me, block me and never interact with me again, so we can all move on with our lives.

• Soul.
