Libi Cohen-Meguri was murdered on October 7th at just 22 years old.
She went to dance at the Nova festival and was shot by Hamas terrorists while trying to escape on Route 232.

At 8:11 AM, she called her parents:
“I’ve been shot in the stomach, I’ve been shot in the arm, I’m losing blood. I’m going to die.”
In calm and heartbreaking words, she understood the end had come.
She asked to speak to her twin brother Tomer and little sister Maya:
“I’m going to die. Just listen.

I love you, Yariv — the best dad I could’ve had.
Mom, please stop screaming, just listen — you’re the best mom we could have asked for.
Don’t forget to be a good mom to Tomer and Maya.
Tomer, how lucky we were to live life together. I love you.
Maya, never forget you are the treasure of my life.”
Her parents begged her to lie on the road and pretend to be dead. She did.

But the terrorists saw her move.
“Mom, they’re coming to shoot me again...”
Screams in Arabic. A long burst of gunfire.
And the call was cut.

Alone on the road divider, her body was riddled with bullets at point-blank range.
Murdered in cold blood.

But Libi was light. Joy. Love.
A proud and outstanding IDF infantry officer, full of life and laughter, always giving to others.

Her photos radiate kindness.
Her memory will live forever.

"It's time for me to show up for my Jewish friends," @MrJerryOC told @Jerusalem_Post.

And that's exactly what he did at ADL's #NeverIsNow this past March.

[King David @Aaron710David]

A hidden photograph from the Kovno Ghetto preserves a quiet moment between two young brothers whose lives were lived under extreme fear and uncertainty during World War II.

In 1944, five-year-old Avraham Rosenthal stood beside his younger brother Emanuel inside the ghetto, where daily life was defined by hunger, strict control, and constant danger. Even the presence of children was deeply fragile under Nazi policies.

Despite the risks, their uncle helped arrange for a secret photograph to be taken by ghetto photographer George Kadish, who documented life in hiding. Creating and preserving such images was dangerous, but it became an act of silent resistance and memory.

Not long after, both brothers were deported along with their family to the Majdanek concentration camp, where they were killed. The photograph survived the war and was later recovered, preserving a trace of lives that were nearly erased.

Today, the image stands as a reminder of how even the smallest records can hold the weight of entire lives and histories.

Lesen!

Die Geschichte von Taryn Thomas klingt fast zu filmreif, um wahr zu sein. Jahrelang war die Studentin der Elite-Universität Stanford das Gesicht der pro-palästinensischen Bewegung auf dem Campus.
Sie trug Kufiya, schlief im Protestcamp, organisierte Megafon-Demos und war felsenfest davon überzeugt, auf der richtigen Seite der Geschichte zu stehen.

Nach dem 7. Oktober 2023 stieg sie endgültig in die Führungsebene der Aktivisten auf.
“Schon am 8. Oktober stand für alle fest, dass in Gaza ein Völkermord stattfindet“, erinnert sie sich heute. Professoren, Dozenten, Kommilitonen – niemand zweifelte. Es gab nur eine Wahrheit.
Im Juni 2024 gipfelte der Protest in der gewaltsamen Besetzung des Stanford-Präsidentenbüros.

Die Aktion hinterließ massive Sachschäden und Parolen wie „Death to Israel“ und „Death to America“ an den Wänden. Rückblickend erkennt Taryn darin den Moment, in dem die Bewegung kippte: „Es ging längst nicht mehr um die Palästinenser. Die waren nur noch Nebensache. Wir richteten uns gegen den gesamten Westen und wurden zu einer Art politischer Sekte.“
Der Wendepunkt:
Ein Kinobesuch aus Spott
Der radikale Bruch mit ihrer Ideologie kam unerwartet – und begann mit einer Provokation. Im Herbst 2024 besuchte Taryn die Ausstellung über das Massaker beim Nova-Musikfestival in Los Angeles. Ihr Plan: sich über die vermeintliche „zionistische Propaganda“ amüsieren. Doch sie verließ die Räume als ein anderer Mensch.

Die unzensierten Bilder der abgeschlachteten Festivalbesucher, die letzten, verzweifelten WhatsApp-Nachrichten an ihre Familien, die nackte Angst der Fliehenden – all das ließ ihr mühsam konstruiertes Weltbild in Sekundenfeindschnelle in sich zusammenbrechen.

„Ich fühlte mich, als wäre ich ein Jahr zu spät zu einer Beerdigung gekommen“, sagt sie.
Besonders tief traf sie die Tonaufnahme eines Hamas-Terroristen, der seinen Vater aus Israel anrief, um stolz zu prahlen, wie viele Juden er gerade eigenhändig ermordet hatte – während der Vater am Telefon weinte vor Glück. Es war der Moment der schmerzhaften Erkenntnis: Genau diese Menschen wurden in Taryns Universitäts-Blase als heroische „Widerstandskämpfer“ glorifiziert.

Um Antworten zu finden, traf Taryn eine radikale Entscheidung: Sie reiste nach Israel.
Dort wurde sie prompt von der brutalen Realität des Landes eingeholt. Während eines iranischen Raketenangriffs heulten die Sirenen. Als sie sich schutzlos auf den Asphalt werfen musste, während über ihr der Eiserne Dom explodierte, schossen ihr wieder die Opfer des Nova-Festivals in den Kopf.
„Noch vor Kurzem hatte ich gefordert, dass Israel komplett entwaffnet wird. Und in diesem Moment betete ich darum, dass Israels Raketenabwehr mein Leben schützt.“

Nach ihrer Rückkehr in die USA postete sie ein Foto aus Israel. Die Reaktion ihrer alten „Szenefreunde“ war vernichtend.
Die Cancel Culture traf sie mit voller Härte:
Soziale Isolation: Langjährige Freunde brachen von heute auf morgen den Kontakt ab.
Hass-Kampagnen: Sie wurde als „Genozid-Unterstützerin“ beschimpft, öffentlich diffamiert und bedroht.

Dialogverweigerung: Niemand wollte wissen, was sie vor Ort gesehen hatte. In einer radikalisierten Welt, die nur in Schwarz und Weiß denkt, gilt das Zulassen von Zweifeln bereits als Hochverrat.
Halt fand sie ausgerechnet dort, wo sie es am wenigsten erwartet hatte: bei jüdischen Studenten auf dem Campus. „Sie wussten genau, wer ich war. Sie kannten meine lautstarken Anti-Israel-Parolen. Und trotzdem reichten sie mir die Hand, diskutierten auf Augenhöhe mit mir und luden mich zum Schabbat-Essen ein.“

Im Mai 2026 steht Taryn erneut in der Nova-Ausstellung – dieses Mal in London, als Unterstützerin.

„Ich bin keine Jüdin. Ich bin Afroamerikanerin“, erklärt sie einem Reporter mit fester Stimme. „Aber in Israel habe ich Dinge begriffen, vor denen ich vorher die Augen verschlossen habe. Und genau deshalb kann und werde ich jetzt nicht mehr schweigen.“

It was always Nova festival slaughter that got me most. How could so many young in West relate more to Hamas butchers than their music-loving peacenik peers? So this REMARKABLE interview with Taryn, a former pro-Pal - open-minded enough to change her mind after seeing @novaexhibition - is a challenge to my anti-zionist mates: don't boycott, go see for yourselves

[OurFightUk @OurFightUk]

The Nova Exhibition has come to London, and today it opened to the public. It will run for six weeks, and is a powerful document of what happened on October 7th, when Hamas and other Islamist groups brought murderous carnage to the Nova music festival.

Through video and recreations of the Nova site, the first half of the exhibition captures the chaos, noise and fear of the moment the festival was attacked and the music stopped — 6.29am.

Beyond these rooms is a larger, calmer room, lit with candles and displaying photos of all those who were murdered. Here the viewer is invited to slow down and reflect on the young lives lost.

It's a powerful exhibition, and while inducing anger and shock at the atrocities, it also provides inspiration; although many of the exhibition organisers are themselves survivors of Nova and lost many close friends, they have still been able to create something profound, and say 'we will dance again'.

The significance of the Nova Festival massacre on October 7th, 2023 is not just that nearly 400 young people lost their lives, nor the depravity of the slaughter. We must talk about — and remember — Nova and October 7th, because the world is trying to ignore it.

Please visit, with family, friends and colleagues. If you would like to attend at the same time as Our Fight campaigners, you will find details of dates and times in this week's newsletter, which is available on our website. Link in bio.

“I felt like they’re gonna kill me.”

We sat down with a Jewish man who was attacked last night in Golders Green.

He says a group of masked men assaulted him and shouted at him in Arabic after they heard him speaking Hebrew on the phone.

This is his account of what happened.

[Zac Goldsmith @ZacGoldsmith]

“What kind of a depraved monster slices off a woman’s breast while she is being gang raped, and throws it into the dust to be used as a plaything? What kind of a twisted pervert turns rape into necrophilia by shooting a woman in the head while he is still defiling her?
What kind of ‘freedom fighters’ go into battle with a set of handy Arabic-to-Hebrew phrases, including ‘take off your pants’, ‘lie down’, and ‘spread your legs’?
What self-respecting human being presses nails, scalpels, a hammer, an axe, screwdrivers and other household tools into a woman’s genitals?
How hard do you have to rape someone, and with what, to shatter their pelvis? Who shoots a young girl in the face and then films her mutilated corpse on her brother’s mobile phone?
The answer is: Hamas terrorists. This is the stark reality of what they did to men, women and children on October 7, 2023. And the world must never forget.”

Another day and another antisemitic attack.

Some Muslims in East London, rented flats from British Jews in the 1960’s, when many would not rent out to ‘Asians, Irish or dogs’.

That allowed them to start to settle. This needs to be remembered and acknowledged.

Our histories are shared much more than some remember. Let us challenge antisemitism together, whilst also tackling anti-Muslim hate.

Important post 👇

The same happened in UK (@CST_UK data below)

Antisemitic spikes peaked from 10/7, before any Israeli response had begun

Then again when BBC broadcast Bob Vylan’s infamous calls for death to IDF

Then the Manchester Yom Kippur murders

Then the Bondi massacre

@Loc8meStudentAc why do your student tenancies start in July?? Students start in mid to late September. Is this a way to circumvent the new law because there is no time to serve notice at the end? Students don’t get finance until Sept!! #ripoff #students

[Captain Allen @CptAllenHistory]

On this day in 1945, American soldiers opened the gates of Dachau and walked straight into hell.

Battle-hardened U.S. troops from the 42nd and 45th Infantry Divisions thought they had seen the worst of war. Nothing prepared them for what they found on April 29.

A “death train” from Buchenwald with 40 rail cars stacked with thousands of rotting corpses. Inside the camp: piles of bodies, living skeletons shuffling through the grounds, the overpowering stench of death, disease, and starvation. More than 32,000 prisoners remained — many Jews — ravaged by years of slave labor, medical experiments, and systematic cruelty. Just days earlier, the SS had sent more than 7,000 on a final death march. Thousands never made it.

Dachau was the original Nazi concentration camp, operating since 1933. What started as a site for political prisoners became the blueprint for industrialized dehumanization. By the end, the crematoria couldn’t keep up.

The soldiers were physically sickened. Some wept openly. Others, in raw fury after seeing the horrors, killed SS guards on the spot. The scenes were so devastating that General Eisenhower personally toured the camps, determined that no one could ever call this propaganda.

Dachau was not an extermination camp like Auschwitz, yet more than 41,000 people were murdered or died there.

These were men, women, and children whose only crime was being Jewish — or simply being in the way of the Nazi machine. For years, the world had closed its doors to Jews, trapping them. Immigration quotas. The 1939 British White Paper that slammed shut the gates of Mandate Palestine even as Europe burned. Jews had nowhere to run.

That is why Jewish sovereignty is not optional.

A strong, independent, Jewish State of Israel is the only promise that never again will Jewish survival depend on the mercy of others, the conscience of foreign armies, or the goodwill of hostile neighbors. Israel gave the Jewish people a home, an army, and the power to defend themselves.

Am Yisrael Chai.
