In a visit to his native Israel during the summer break from high school in the United States, Peleg explained why he risked being assaulted as he wore an IDF tee shirt and a kippa, and waved a large Israeli flag in front of the faces of angry demonstrators.
'A friend of mine called me up and told me there was a protest going on. I always have been a Zionist. I went -- there was no one else there” supporting Israel,' Peleg said."
