Ordinary Heroes | Episode 44: Ben Carasso – A Young Voice for Truth and Peace
In this powerful and deeply moving episode of Ordinary Heroes on hmTv, host Dr. Bernie Furshpan welcomes an extraordinary guest: 9-year-old Israeli advocate Ben Carasso. Despite his age, Ben has emerged as a global voice for truth, resilience, and peace in the aftermath of the October 7th attacks on Israel.
Traveling the world on his fifth advocacy tour, Ben shares what motivates him to speak out—from personal loss and heartbreaking funerals to the spread of misinformation and rising antisemitism. With wisdom beyond his years, he reflects on the importance of unity, standing up for what is right, and how children like him are stepping up to make a difference.
Ben also discusses his viral social media presence, the support he receives from his family and friends, and his heartfelt hopes for a peaceful future between Jews, Muslims, Christians, and all people. He even brings a special children’s book from Hostage Square in Tel Aviv, symbolizing his dream of freedom for those still in captivity.
This episode is a testament to courage, compassion, and the unwavering belief that even one voice—no matter how young—can impact the world.
