Pat Boone, Lyricist of Exodus Song, Explains Why He Is a Zionist

Pat Boone, the singer and songwriter, has posted a TikTok video about his love for Israel and how he considers himself an adopted Jew.

Boone, the great great great grandson of American pioneer and frontiersman Daniel Boone, wears a necklace with a Chai and Magen David. In the video, he talks about being a lifelong Zionist.

In 1960, Boone wrote the lyrics for The Exodus Song, composed by Ernest Gold for the soundtrack of the movie Exodus, starring Paul Newman, Sal Mineo, and Eva Marie Saint.
