A heartbreaking video that everyone should force themselves to watch.
As the world turns against Israel and time marches on, we must actively remember the horrific events that took place on October 7th and the terrible reality that 240 people, from babies to the elderly, were abducted and being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza. (Warning: contains some graphic descriptions.)
Thank you for this video that reminds every person who views it that the depth of hate evidenced on October 7th is beyond what many believed was possible given the many hands that were extended by this community and those in the surrounding area to help those on the other side of the fence on a daily basis in so many countless ways.
We must never forget that we are a thorn in the side of the world that believes our very existence must be extinguished yet over the centuries we continue to prevail over often insurmountable odds only with the aid of only Hashem.
Every time I daven Av Harachaman on Shabbat, I think of the many souls gone before us who departed live via the hands of those evidencing a similar hate centuries ago.
Am Yisrael Chai!
Just heart breaking.
ימח שמם וזכרם של כל אויבי ושונאי ישראל
horrible .... undoubtedly unexpected ...
Btw this comment comes from a woman who has Jewish ancestry (on my mother's maternal side), and who is proud of that heritage. And I am anti-war, always have been and always will be. My own Jewish ancestors fled Germany in the era of the Kaisars and Tsars "because of all the wars". That was before the Holocaust. Had they stayed, I would probably not exist. No war is just if it is started as an over-reaction to a criminal act (such as what happened on Oct 7th 2023)....and a SERIAL ONE AT THAT, which btw, ought to have been internally investigated Scotland yard-style with the perpetrators being brought to proper justice in a criminal court of law. Shame on the Netanyahu administration for seriously lacking wisdom & prudence.
if you have Jewish ancestry on your mother's maternal side, you may actually be Jewish. This is because a Jew is considered Jewish if her mother is Jewish. You should look into your ancestry...you may really be one of us 🙂
Hopefully not after the cold insensitive post.
I find your comment insulting. I don't believe we have any right to sit in comfort and then criticize.From your tone I am presuming you haven't sacrificed much for the Land or the Jewish people.Correct me if I'm wrong.
You are inaccurate in saying starting this war was 'an overreaction to a criminal act'.
I find your comment insulting and insensitive under current circumstances.
Not to mention how ignorant she is. We have here a person who has the audacity to criticize the Israeli government without a minimum of knowledge without any facts. How dare she even write a comment.
I agree 100%, my mother ( obm) a Holocaust Survivor ( obm) , who was there when they killed the women that tried to blow up the crematorium, before they were hung the said" I hope who ever will live after the Holocaust to go to Israel to build our land" so now we t hank G _d we have a land, so of course Israeli soldiers should protect the Jews, the grandparents are happy when their grand children join the IDF
In my view what happened on October 7, 2023 was a mini Holocaust , so going to war is not over reacting, when Jews didn't have a country of Israel the Nazis( Y"S) murdered 6 million Jews, this ignorant and evil individual doesn't know the facts of what happened on October 7, 2023, and I don't think she learned Holocaust history either, at least this time there was a Israeli army to fight our enemies that want the same thing that the Nazis ( Y"S) wanted to make the world and now Israel " Judenrein " ( free of Jews)
what on earth are you talking about? You have no understanding and no knowledge of what had happened. So keep our ignorant remark about Netanyahu to yourself.
I agree , if her family was murdered in the Holocaust, or if any of her family was in Auschwitz-Birneau, then she would know how important the land of Israel is, and having a IDF to protect the land and Jewish lives, what kind of person is she to talk like that
You are a stupid, ignorant, evil creature, with zero understanding of what happened and is still happening to and within Israel. How dare you cast aspersions on Netanyahu for doing whatever was and is necessary to protect his country and its citizens. I wonder how you'd react if your neighbours, whom you'd helped for years, suddenly broke into your home and proceeded to torture and murder every member of your family? The level of your stupidity is truly mind boggling!
Nice righteous people were murdered in the Holocaust , but a nasty person like you ended up to live , and talks like a enemy of the Jewish people, so when someone comes to murder you, and does other unspeakable horrors to you, instead of fighting them and protecting your citizens, you will turn the other cheek Jews don't to that, the problem is the Arab Muslim terrorists came to murder and to barbaric things to Jewush Israelis , and you have a problem the Jews/ Israel fought back, you sound like a enemy of the Jewish people even if you can be Jewish, Israel and Bibi don't need to go to criminal court of law but the Arab Muslim terrorists that did the crime of making a mini Holocaust, you are far from a decent human being, your brain and heart should be investigated instead
God Bless you O Israel. We are weeping for you and with you and praying continually for your protection and deliverence from these savages. There is no other word for them. We have worked to help the Jewish people home to build their nation again. We carried you on our shoulders as gentiles that love Gods Hebrew people as He said we would. Helping to plant the land as He said you would. We are devestated and do not stop weeping and praying for the safe return of the 230 hostages. This was an attack on the innocent civilians by a savage hatred bent against the Jewish people. They cowards that attack you and others and will receive the same judgement by God. God bless you all and thank you Aish still working for the truth and for love of God. You are not alone.
If the testimonies from these Holocaust survivors doesn’t break your heart, you don’t have one. May Hashem have mercy on them.
It is the most heart breaking thing to see these holocaust survivors lose their loved ones. I am thankful for these stories as it gives me people and faces to pray for.
