Tal Oran, The Traveling Clatt, exposes antisemitism, debunks false narratives, and advocates for Israel online. Tal Oran, known to the world as The Traveling Clatt, once lived to capture the beauty of faraway places. Today, his journey looks very different. After October 7th, he stepped away from the easy life of travel vlogging and into the fire of advocacy — taking on the Arab narrative, exposing the roots of antisemitism, and fighting the flood of misinformation about Israel. In this conversation, Tal opens up about the personal cost of speaking out, the responsibility he feels as a Mizrahi Jew, and the impact of building hard, often tense, yet deeply important conversations online. He also shares his vision for building a relationship with our Arab cousins — who, he believes, were once Jews themselves — and why that connection is central to creating a different kind of future. What started as a career in entertainment has become a mission of truth — one that demands courage, clarity, and conviction. This is not just the story of a content creator who changed course. It is the story of a young man who chose to stand for his people when it mattered most — and who is making a truly significant difference in the Jewish and Israeli narrative. 👍 Like, subscribe, and share this episode to support independent voices.
