One of the most horrific images I saw from the October 7 Massacre was a young woman, her legs splayed open, naked from the waist down, hands bound, and her upper body charred black from being burned alive. I later learned she was a mother of 2 children. Rape is not resistance.
Sexual violence was “widespread and systematic” during the October 7 attack, rape and gang rape occurring in at least six different locations, according to a report using testimony never heard before now thetimes.com/world/middle-ea…

These brave young Mexican women are heroines in Texas. Silvana Garza Valdez and María Paula Zárate, both 19 years old, rescued 20 girls trapped by the flooding of the Guadalupe River. Why isn’t the mainstream media covering this?

My husband’s relative Ma’ayan Idan had just celebrated her 18th birthday. She was home when the sirens blared. In her pyjamas when she frantically helped her father Tsachi hold the safe room door shut. Hamas shot her in the head. We will never forget you Ma’ayan. We love you.

Libby Cohen (22) called her mother on October 7th and said "Mom, I've been shot. I won't survive." She made sure to bid farewell to all her family members before taking her last breath. Her final words were "Mom, can you hear me? I love you." Rest in peace, angel.

This was Shani Louk. Shani was tortured and beaten before being murdered and dragged round the streets half-naked on October 7th. They broke her legs. They shot her in the head. All because she was Jewish. You either stand with Israel or with this savagery.

Hamas brutally killed Adi Kaploun, a 33-year-old mother, right in front of her helpless baby on October 7th. Immediately afterward, they took a photo with her baby while Adi's lifeless body lay on the ground inside the house. This is why Israel is at war, if anyone asks.

Liel Hetzroni (12) was tortured to death on October 7th by Hamas, and her body was burned to ashes. There was nothing left to bury, so they buried her belongings. After a month, her remains were found, and she was buried next to her belongings. This is why Israel is at war.

One of the most shattering videos from October 7. Terrorists had gunned down a mother and her two young children were trapped in the back of the car. Under fire, Israeli police raced to save the children. Having seen her mother shot dead, the terrified 5-year-old begs for her life, thinking the terrorists had returned for her. When she realizes they are Israeli police, she cries for them to save her baby sister 💔

I’ve just watched the 40-minute compiled GoPro footage from Oct 7th. There are babies being abducted while their murdered parents lie on the ground, grandparents begging for their lives before being executed, children begging for their lives before being executed, charred bodies with their final grimacing expressions, naked bodies of young men and women being mutilated and spat on, disemboweled bodies, heads being decapitated from their bodies, half burnt bodies of naked women with their legs left intentionally spread open, family pets are executed, entire communities are decimated, homes are looted by triumphant thieves... it’s ghastly. But what struck me the most is how personal it all is? They’re face to face with their victims, looking right at them. And they’re not cold or indifferent about it either, they’re excited by it? They genuinely take pleasure in taunting their victims until their last breath. It’s all so unbelievably inhumane. To those who continue to spread lies and justify Oct 7th, may God have mercy on you and your rotten souls.

😥 Rachel Goldberg at her son Hersh’s funeral: “Okay, sweet boy, go now on your journey. I hope it's as good as the trips you dreamed about. “Because finally, my sweet boy, finally, finally, finally, finally you're free!”

Since the age of 20 they have been an inseparable couple. They had a once-in-a-lifetime love, dreams to fulfill. This is the story of Hadar and Itay. On the morning of October 7th when the terrorists had attacked house after house, at 6:54 Hadar sent a last message to her family members and since then contact with them has been cut off. Her concerned family contacted the neighbors who were hiding and one of the neighbors who checked told them: "I'm sorry, their door is open". Hadar had time to prepare food and they hid roei and Guy, their ten-month-old twins, in the safe room shortly before they were murdered with unimaginable cruelty. The terrorists used the house as a "refreshment station" and between murders and murders they entered to regroup. They left roei and Guy alive because they realized that their cries would attract IDF soldiers into the house and thus be able to harm them, they left ten-month-old twins as bait. Over the many hours, several rescue attempts were made and IDF soldiers were injured. When the soldiers finally entered the house, they found the babies on the floor, for 14 hours they were lying on the side their parents bodies. The IDF soldiers took out the babies and handed them over to the medical personnel and that's how they were saved. This is a story about Itai and Hadar who were the best parents, who fought until the last moment. Itai and Hadar who lived in peace and spread love, who were a great light for everyone who knew them. Hadar with the smile and eyes that glow and Itay with the special laugh. It's a story about an end and a beginning, about a light in the dark, about a family, about Itay and Hadar the heroes, their light will forever shine.

This is Nitzan Rahum. Hamas terrorists murdered her at the Nova Festival as she and her fiancé were hiding in a safe room where grenades were thrown. She was 4 months pregnant. On this Women's Day, do not forget Israeli women.

This is the toughest thing from which I can’t recover. The amazing and beloved Noa was supposed to start her MSc at my lab last October. Please read. 💔thinking of her family.
She graduated with a bachelor's degree with honors and was about to start a master's degree in neuroscience, he had just moved in with his girlfriend in a new city with big dreams for the future. He liked to make everyone dance and had a well-known party line in Tel Aviv. She was always the highlight of the evening, everyone wanted to be with her. Together they spread light everywhere they went, they loved to spread happiness. This is the story of Gidi and Noa, a brother and sister. On the morning of the massacre they realized that they had to escape from Nova, at 8:27 they sent a message to their parents that everything was fine and they were trying to leave the area. At 8:30 their phone was already disconnected and no one heard from them again. 8 long days of searching for them, 8 days of hope that they might have managed to escape from the inferno, and then the hard news reached their family, Gidi and Noa were found at the entrance to Kibbutz Mefalsim where they managed to get there when an ambush of armed terrorists shot at them and murdered with unimaginable cruelty in their car. Gidi and Noa are a symbol of all that is good and right in the world, loving siblings who have always been together, full of courtesy and kindness. She used to say that there is no such thing as impossible, they say that their souls dance forever. Their light will always shine.
