Scooter Braun, the Hollywood producer who discovered Justin Bieber, is an American Jew who expressed great support for Israel on social media. Last week he came to Israel for a visit of support and solidarity, and after visiting the Gaza Strip Envelope, the headquarters of the families of the abductees and arriving at the hospitals to meet the wounded, this morning Braun arrived at the Western Wall.
Braun is known in the world music industry as the manager of some of the world's most famous artists, including Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato and more. On his active Instagram page, he documented for his 3.8 million followers the atrocities in Kfar Aza and Be'eri, and wrote that he came to see it for himself: "I am deeply glad I came," he wrote in a post on Instagram, but made it clear that this is not a political trip: "This is not a political trip. This is about humanity and support for those innocent lost on October 7th and the hostages still missing."
Braun also referred to the negative reactions he received upon his arrival in Israel, and wrote: "And for those of you that hate me for coming… I would come again and again, and you guessed it… again. Am Yisrael Chai!"
