Dr. Phil: “Israelis Don’t Have PTSD — They’re Living It in Real Time”
In a powerful moment of solidarity with Israel, Dr. Phil McGraw delivered an emotional speech during a major pro-Israel gathering in New York, stating: “Israelis don’t have PTSD — this isn’t post-trauma, this is ongoing trauma. They are living it in real time.”
He added: “Israel embodies everything good the world has to offer.”
Before the mayors of New York and Jerusalem, and on the eve of Manhattan’s Israel Day Parade, an unforgettable gala was held in honor of ZAKA’s volunteers.
The event drew hundreds of guests — ambassadors, business leaders, and community figures — all rallying behind the creation of a Resilience Center to support Israel’s frontline responders since October 7.
Dr. Phil took the stage at the climax of the night, praising ZAKA and reaffirming:
“Israel represents the best of humanity.”
