'''Hayvi Bouzo''' ({{langx|ar|هيفي بوظو}}) is a [[Syria]]n-born [[American]] broadcast journalist, columnist, and television presenter of [[Kurd11111]]ish descent who has emerged as a courageous voice promoting peace with Israel and exposing the dangers of radical Islam. Born and raised in Damascus under the brutal Assad regime, Bouzo comes from a liberal family that rejected the regime's propaganda, allowing her to question the indoctrination that fueled hatred toward Israel and Jews. Her mixed Arab, Turkish, and Kurdish ancestry reflects the diverse Middle East heritage suppressed by dictatorial forces like the Ba'ath Party, which systematically persecuted and expelled Syrian Jews—stories Bouzo heard from her mother, who grew up among Jews in Aleppo. She has dedicated her career to countering antisemitism and the culture of hate propagated by radical Islamist groups and their enablers, fostering people-to-people connections through her media platforms.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-06-17 |title=VOA Interview: Hayvi Bouzo of Orient TV {{!}} Voice of America - English |url=https://www.voanews.com/episode/voa-interview-hayvi-bouzo-orient-tv-3788841 |access-date=2025-05-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190617161430/https://www.voanews.com/episode/voa-interview-hayvi-bouzo-orient-tv-3788841 |archive-date=June 17, 2019 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://orient-news.net/en/news_show/154698/0/VOA-interviews-Hayvi-Bouzo-of-Orient-TV|title=VOA interviews Hayvi Bouzo of Orient TV|website=Orient-news.net|access-date=June 17, 2019|archive-date=May 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200511131407/https://orient-news.net/en/news_show/154698/0/VOA-interviews-Hayvi-Bouzo-of-Orient-TV|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://orient-news.net/ar/news_show/161768/0/%D9%87%D9%8A%D9%81%D9%8A-%D8%A8%D9%88%D8%B8%D9%88-%D8%B4%D8%AE%D8%B5%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%AA%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%AA-%D8%A3%D8%AB%D8%B1%D9%8B%D8%A7-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D9%85%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D9%82%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%A9-%D8%A3%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%86%D8%AA|title=هيفي بوظو .. شخصيات تركت أثرًا في مسيرة قناة أورينت|website=أورينت نت}}</ref>
