Stav Cohen
Justice Warrior
Through Limor Garfinkle’s lens, we honor heroes like Stav Cohen, an IDF Special Forces soldier, international speaker, and attorney who brings the realities of the battlefield to global audiences. With over twelve years of service and hundreds of highly complex missions, he shares firsthand stories of bravery, sacrifice, and his core belief that quitting is never an option. The grandson of an Auschwitz survivor, Stav lives the promise of “Never Again,” honoring Holocaust memory through service and truth. While still actively serving, he speaks worldwide about Israel’s fight for survival—militarily, morally, and legally. With a law degree in international law, he addresses the ethics of modern warfare and explains Israel’s legal boundaries in conflicts across Gaza, Lebanon, and beyond. From campuses to community events, Stav offers a rare dual perspective—soldier and attorney—on Israel, regional threats, and the global battle for truth.
