Dear Rachel Goldberg,
You carry the name of the French mother who had a profound impact on my life in Paris, a story I often share. You also share the name of Jacob's wife, and my friends in Saudi Arabia and the UAE call me “Abu Raheel” (Father of Rachel) because I plan to name my first daughter Rachel, inshallah.
I want you to know that many Arabs and Muslims who support peace with Israel are praying for you, for your remarkable son, and for all the innocent Israelis and Palestinians who have died in this tragic war started by Hamas terrorists.
Behold! the Lord our God, the God of Israel, tests us with trials in this world. As a believer in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, I understand this deeply. I will continue to work with all my strength for peace between Arabs and Israelis, Muslims and Jews. I hope to honor Hersh's memory by striving for true peace in the near future, with God's help.
Though you have lost your only son, know that we are here for you and for all other families who have lost loved ones in this conflict. God willing, Israel will prevail. I am deeply committed to the Hebrew Bible and not ashamed to say so. I believe in its teachings and will dedicate my life to studying it alongside archaeology. The God of Israel is alive, blessed is He, and I believe He created us to improve this world. With His help, we will make it a better place, honor your son’s memory, and keep him in our hearts.
“Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, forever and ever. Amen and Amen.” — King David, Psalm 41.
Love,
Loay
It was just confirmed that Hamas murdered 6 Israeli and American hostages. They were reportedly executed at short range very recently and their bodies recovered from a terror tunnel in Rafah. Among the murdered were Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Eden Yerushalmi, Carmel Gat, Almog Sarusi, Alex Lobanov, and Ori Danino. For almost a year, Hamas, after barbarically attacking Israel kidnapping children from their beds and party goers from a festival, has held more than 100 hostages in terror tunnels underneath Gaza. At the same time, brainwashed Americans are promoting Hamas’s agenda and calling for a ceasefire. But Hamas is not interested in a ceasefire. Hamas continues to reject ceasefire proposals while torturing and executing innocent people. This needs to end. The pressure must be on Hamas to surrender and release all the hostages. Bring them home NOW. And may Carmel, Eden, Almog, Alex, Ori, and Hersh. Rest in Peace 🕯️💔 #AllEyesOnRafah
#BREAKING The IDF confirms it retrieved the bodies of 6 murdered hostages from Gaza.

🕯️ Hersh Goldberg
🕯️ Alex Lubnov

🕯️ Edan Yerushalmi
According to the IDF, the six were murdered by Hamas a short while, possibly around a day or two, before troops found them.
The entire Jewish people is wrapped in grief. Our hearts are broken for the 6 souls we couldn’t bring home and for their shattered families 💔
This beautiful family, the Kutz family, was found embraced as they lay dead in a bed in their home, their own safe haven, after being murdered by Hamas on October 7th.
🕯️ Aviv Kutz, 54
🕯️ Livnat, 49
🕯️ Rotem, 19
🕯️ Yonatan, 17
🕯️ Yiftach, 15
Remember their names.
Breaking - the families of Eden Yerushalmi and Ori Danino have confirmed they were among the murdered hostages just retrieved from Gaza.
These two beautiful souls are now at peace after more than 300 days in hell.
May their memories always be a blessing.
Please read, please share, it’s important.
This is what mass starvation looks like 👇🏽
Us jews must never be put in this position again.
This is why we are fighting antisemitism so hard right now.
We know what our relatives and ancestors went through.
In the words of Vehi Sheamda:
“Every generation they rise up to destroy us”
If Israel is destroyed “From the River To The Sea” by the Islamic Republic of Iran and its terror proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, The Houthis etc then it is very possible that we may see another Holocaust.
That’s their aim, genocide of the Jewish state.
And then that’s 7 million Jews, and bigger than the first one.
Not to mention the 2 million Muslims who live there, the Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Buddhists, Baha’i and Atheists etc. all under the protection of the IDF.
We saw but a small taste of what that Genocide will look like with the barbaric terror attacks on October 7th.
The gleeful extermination, rape and butchering of Jews and Israelis at the hands of Hamas.
So to all those people trying to boycott arms sales to Israel, THIS is what you would allow to happen and leave the Jews defenceless.
Never again is NOW.
First in the Middle East, this is a moment for all to celebrate. Congratulations to Israel and to humanity. Second, this picture powerfully illustrates the reality: the so-called "apartheid" Jewish state, where a Jewish doctor is treating a Muslim Arab who was held hostage by Hamas-ISIS Islamist terrorists in Gaza. Israel, this "apartheid" state, dispatched 18 Jewish soldiers to rescue the Muslim Arab Bedouin and reunite him with his seven children.
If you live in New York, Paris, or London, you might be confused because your media won’t show you this reality of the Middle East. Instead, go protest against McDonald’s burgers and Starbucks chai lattes.
