Coming from a small Jewish community in Perth, Western Australia, some 7000 souls, everybody more or less knows everybody else.
So, when the Lange family arrived in Perth from war-torn Europe during WW2, it wasn’t long before we met, though not sure where or when.
David Lange is a generation younger than me, but I knew his parents reasonably well.
David’s Dad was a veterinarian, rather modest, so it wasn’t unusual for David to grow up more or less in the same vein.
My first contact with David was in the 1990s when we attended the same Shul in Perth.
However, my first real contact with David was here, in Israel some 10 years later.
Did I get a surprise when I started communicating with him online.
He was out there fighting like a tiger for Israel and the Jewish world.
Let’s Go Back and See How This Happened
David was a Law School graduate in Western Australia and forged a successful working life in the oil and gas industry.
David gave that up to make aliyah in 2000, where he succeeded in the hitech industry, becoming an Israel advocate with his website Israellycool, initially as a side hobby.
Some 6 years ago, his love for his people and desire to advocate for them more effectively than he was seeing elsewhere was a calling card for him to pursue his Israel advocacy full time.
Today, David Lange is a respected Middle East analyst and commentator whose unashamed comments and revelations have resonated, both with Jewish and non-Jewish followers and readers right around the world.
It’s a full-time job, researching and analysing the hatred and threatening language being posted, not just in the social media, but also in the commercial media.
No Holds Barred
David doesn’t settle for pretty language couched in cautious diplomatic terms.
Straight to the point. If we’re being threatened with lies and threats, he’ll respond in the same vein with no apology for singling out individuals writing vile comments.
He’s fighting like a tiger and is prepared to bear the brunt of any abuse thrown back at him.
In fact, many have even wanted to have him killed.
Yet, Israellycool works. You fight like a boxer in the ring.
A swift uppercut to the jaw to shut them up!
