TED TALK: "I'M THE SON OF A TERRORIST"

TED TALK: "I'M THE SON OF A TERRORIST"

The son is talking about how his father cotributed for the attacks of terrorism in the United States.  He said that in November 5th, 1990, a man named El-Sayyid Nosair walked into a hotel in Manhattan and assassinated Rabbi Meir Kahane, the leader of the Jewish Defense League. 

He and other men began planning attacks on a dozen New York City landmarks, including tunnels, synagogues and the United Nations headquarters, the bad situation that I hear during this video is that El-Sayyid Nosair was his father.

The son was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1983, his mother  tried her best to create a happy childhood . It wasn't until because when he was seven years old, his family dynamic started to change and his father exposed him.

He moved 20 times in his life, and that instability during his childhood didn't really provide an opportunity for him to make many friends. 

Each time he would begin to feel comfortable around someone, it was time to pack up and move to the next town. 

He was frequently the target of bullies, he kept a identity a secret from his classmates to avoid being targeted.

Zak Ebrahim is not his real name. He changed it when his family decided to end the connection with his father and start a new life.
