Meet The Author

Noah Kennedy

From designing high-rises in San Francisco to pioneering disruptive software products and online services, Noah Kennedy’s career is a testament to the rare blend of creativity and rigorous analytical thinking that defines his work.

In 2014, Kennedy’s irrepressible curiosity took a pivotal turn as he began exploring the complex dynamics of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Motivated by a belief that key perspectives were being overlooked, he has traveled extensively in the region, engaged with leading subject matter experts, and gotten blissfully lost in the labyrinthine stacks of the UC Berkeley Library. His relentless pursuit of fresh insights into the intersection of myth, history, and politics continues to drive his work and shape his evolving vision for a deeper understanding of complex global narratives.
