Two years ago today, Avinatan and I came to the Nova Music Festival to celebrate life, but we found ourselves in the dark tunnels of Gaza.
I can’t even begin to describe the horrible atrocities of that day. Thousands of young people running in the fields, hundreds of cars trying to escape - all of us begging not to be murdered.
October 7 was the last time I saw my partner. In captivity, I asked about Avinatan everywhere I went.
I didn’t know if he was kidnapped or murdered, but i was afraid to know the answer.
I lived in fear every single day.
Being here today is nothing short of a miracle - I am not the same person I was two years ago.
I broke down. I rose again. Dozens of times.
And still, it hasn’t ended.
Two years have passed.
We still have hostages clinging on to their lives, each day, each minute, a living hell.
Hostages who are starving, waiting for the day that they could see the light again.
I miss Avinatan more with every passing day. I hold onto hope, every single day, that this nightmare will end soon, and we’ll finally get to live the life we’ve dreamed of.
This nightmare will end only when all the 48 hostages will come back home.
We are not losing hope.
We pray that in the next few days we’ll hear good news, and by the end of this holiday we will see our loved ones again.
Guys, I need your help.
The German government has issued me a deportation order. Despite everything I’ve been through. Despite the danger I still face, even here in Germany. I’ve poured my life into activism, into fighting extremism and building something better for my people. Now I’m the one who needs help.
Please take 30 seconds to sign the petition to help me stay.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
I just hope all this ends with the fall of the Islamic Republic, for everyone's sake but especially that of my Persian cousins who have been suffering under a thanatocratic totalitarian theocracy for far too long.
Omri is a hostage in Gaza. He was excluded from this terrible deal, along with the other men. 65 of 98 hostages are not covered by this deal. All 3 live American men are being left behind, one a teen.
I want them returned. I want Omri home with his babies
I can’t stop thinking of Rachel and Jon Goldberg-Polin. They did everything to get their son home in such a deal. I am so deeply sorry he will not be part of it.
Never forget Hersh and everything he stood for.
Während deutsche Antizionisten ihre Referate darüber halten, was ein Pogrom und was gerechte Strafe für faschistische Israelis sei, zünden Leute in Amsterdam eine Bahn an und rufen dabei "Kanker Joden", wörtlich übersetzt "Krebsjuden".
Zum Gedenken an die Opfer des brutalen Terrors der Hamas, finden unter Beteiligung von DIG und JuFo deutschlandweit Kundgebungen statt.
Nehmt teil und zeigt Flagge gegen Terror und Antisemitismus!
@Snowden Hezbollah started firing on October 8th unprovoked
They have fired thousands of rockets since
About 100k Israelis have been displaced from their homes in the North
This is arguably the most targeted large scale response in the history of Warfare
What is your alternative? Die?
The IDF confirms it retrieved from Gaza the bodies of 6 hostages who were kidnapped by Hamas on October 7.

In the same country where there was a terrorist attack last week that ISIS claimed responsibility for and said it's “to avenge Muslims in Palestine and everywhere”.
Three people were killed and eight wounded because of such calls to celebrate Intifada. Stop pushing for mass murdering people.
FIRST TESTIMONY OF RESCUED HOSTAGE FARHAN AL-QADI
"I was injured after they shot my leg.
We were first in an apartment, and there was almost no food there..
A few weeks after they kidnapped us, the terrorists filmed one of my fellow hostages in a video showing how he was dying slowly. Right after that, they filmed me as well, and then I saw how he was murdered in captivity.
When I returned from captivity, I realized they had never released my video, only his.
At that time, I had a field surgery to remove the bullet from my leg. The surgery was done with no anesthesia, and was extremely painful..
After a few months, the terrorists moved me to a tunnel where I was alone, surrounded only by terrorists..I couldn't tell the difference between day and night.
They were masked and mainly gave me a slice of bread to eat, there was very little food..
Once a month, there was a shower with water in a basin.
For the last few months, I was alone in the tunnel, without anyone, in complete darkness. They said that the tunnel is trapped and that if I’ll move-I’ll die.
I used to put my hands over my eyes just to check that I could still see because it was so dark.
In the last few days, the terrorists left me with a bit of bread and left me alone in the tunnel. Then after a while, I heard someone speaking Hebrew, and I realized these were our soldiers."
covering the face and body of your little daughter like this because you believe that even at her age she might attract the gaze of men or she might seduce them is not cutesy at all
