She planned to travel the world, she loved her family more than anything, there were always friends around her. She had already defeated terrorism when a terrorist ran her over in an attack and underwent a long rehabilitation and then she arrived at the Nova festival, this is the story of Raz. She called her parents on the morning of October 7 and said "missiles are being fired at us", she and two other friends who were with her managed to get to the car and drove to the Be'eri junction, where they decided to get into a shelter. She had time to call her parents and told them she loved them, she explained that she was in a safe place and as soon as the rocket fire stopped she would continue driving home. She did not know that at that exact time, thousands of armed terrorists were crossing the fence and advancing in their direction. Around 8 in the morning Raz called the police and begged for help, but no policeman could come, She was focused and explained calmly where they were and added that there were dozens of people hiding there, But they couldn't help, the chaos was too big and the call ended. at 08:15 Her phone was already disconnected and she didn't respond anymore. Raz was brutally murdered in the shelter, 10 days before her 22nd birthday. In her last moments she tried to do everything to get help and to save others. This is the story of Raz who had big dreams and goals, the funny Raz, who loved to sing and spread kindness, always volunteered and helped others, like there in the shelter, just moments before the monsters got to her too. May her spirit shine upon us forever.
But not Palestine? Not Hamas - the elected government of Gaza?
How about Russia? They bombed maternity wards and orphanages. Why aren’t the leftists demanding their war crime trial? The double standards are getting old.
Everything you complain about with Israel (if true) is exactly what Hamas and the Palestinians have been doing to them as well.
“Israel has wiped out entire families!” So did Hamas.
“Israel is bombing Gaza!” Palestine is bombing Israel (and, ironically, Gaza as well).
“An IDF soldier raped someone!” Hamas employed mass rape as a weapon of war against Israeli women.
“Israel is trying to wipe out Palestinians!” Hamas is trying to wipe out Jews.
We can keep going on this. The list goes on. Not only that, but multiple other countries have employed such tactics against their own people and other countries. Not a single cry for war crime trials.
The streets are covered in yellow ribbon. In every corner you can see a poster. A face.
Bring them home, they scream. Get our loved ones home.
Their calls go up to the sky, their cries echoing on empty streets. Wishing that someone, maybe, will hear it. That someone will be able to help.
They do the best they can, but it's not enough. Never enough.
Their prayers go unanswered.
There's not a single person in Israel who doesn't know someone that was kidnapped - or died - at least on some level.
Around two years ago, a kid graduated my highschool and joined the army. Six months ago he was kidnapped to Gaza.
I didn't know him then. I do now.
He's been there for six months. They've all been there for six bloody months. Six months, in which we don't even know if they are still alive. Six months, in which we don't know if they get food, water, medicine.
to all those who say "Were the children who died in Gaza terrorists??!" were the victims during October 7th terrorist? Obviously not... however you have to realise that these deaths occurred for VERY different reasons, this is WAR and war is sad and difficult, but Hamas started this war, they always do, they killed for no reason other than the hatred towards innocent people, Israel however keep trying their hardest to AVOID civilian casualties whereas Hamas purposefully put the very people they are supposed to lead and protect in harms way, if they weren't as awful as they really are maybe instead of attacking a festival and kibbutz they would have only attacked an IDF base and ONLY that... but guess what? they didn't... they went after people with no way to defend themselves! and also people who weren't even Israeli... Dogs, Men, Women, Children, Elderly... no weapons... just people who wanted to dance and have fun and eat and be with family, they wanted peace and all they got was pain and fear before being mercilessly raped and murdered and tortured and burned... please people stop supporting Hamas and denying what monsters they truly are. from the bottom of my heart I feel awful for those who are going through this war, but I do not feel sorry for Hamas nor their supporters and never fucking will. change your minds before its too late. Hamas inflate and fake their casualties... we all know this stop listening to them!
This is a story about an angel named Alina, who made the world a more magical place. They say she was kind-hearted, had plans and dreams to help people on their life journeys. She found peace. She was happy when she went to the Nova festival with the love of her life, Yonatan. Yonatan got his first job, an important job at the Nova festival as the party photographer. When the terrorists entered the party area Alina spoke to her mother and told her that they were in a car and there were rockets being fired at them. At 8:30 she managed to call again and tell her, "I love you", and hung up. They had to abandon their vehicle - there was nothing left of it and Alina hid in a security trailer in the complex, along with a group of security guards and other people, some of whom were injured. Around 9 o'clock Alina sent a message to her brother that they were running from place to place and being shot at. Alina thought that the ambulance was a safe place and went to hide under it. But when the monsters discovered people inside it they fired an RPG. None of them had a chance and they were all burned alive. 24 difficult days passed until Alina was identified - her family received one earring and her bracelet burned and charred. Yonatan's body was found shot in the fields and his camera was not found. This is a story about Alina the angel. The kind-hearted Alina with the sparkling eyes. A story about the great evil that interrupted everything that Sabbath, about the evil that took Alina who will dance forever among the stars. Her spirit will shine above us forever.
I can't believe how naive I was when I thought that this time, they will understand. Because what normal human being will justify the murder, beheading, raping, genocide of over 1,400 people?
I don't have faith anymore in goyim, and I will never trust them. I thought that maybe they learned their lesson after the Holocaust, but they didn't. My great grandparents didn't service the Holocaust for this.
I have never been happier to be an Israeli. I have never experienced antishemism in my country, and never needed to hide my Jewish identity.
I just hope that in the future, 90 years from now people, from every religion, will learn about what is happening since October 7 and the world's reaction to it. I want them to think "what kind of psychopath would justify it".
