We stand with Israel

October 7, 2023

our worst nightmares came true.

At 6:30 in the morning,

when people were the most vulnerable during their sleep, unaware and defenseless,

Hamas ( a radical terrorist group) struck.

They didn't just cross our border; they invaded our homes, our lives, and our sense of safety.

They came by foot, air, and sea, sweeping through like a hurricane of violence and brutality.

In a chilling invasion of privacy and sanctity, they shattered the peace of people's homes.

Hamas broke into homes.

Families were annihilated in their own living rooms, some forced to watch their loved ones being mercilessly executed.

Others could only stand in horror as their children or parents were kidnapped, and taken to Gaza. Hamas didn't discriminate, young or old, soldier or civilian—it didn't matter.

Anyone who found themselves in the crosshairs was fair game, and Hamas made sure to capture every moment, documenting their atrocities across social media for the world to see.

Simultaneously, they expanded their terror to the southern regions of Israel.

A rave that drew 3,000 Israelis, intent on celebrating, was turned into a war zone.

As the morning light broke, the air was filled not with music but with the terrifying sound of gunfire, grenades, and RPGs.

Attempts to flee were met with endless shooting; the area resembled a battlefield, with the death toll now standing at 260.

While some managed to escape capture or death, finding refuge in a nearby kibbutz, many others were kidnapped and taken to Gaza.

Countless are still missing, leaving families in a state of agonizing uncertainty.

Amid the chaos and a government struggling to provide concrete information, some people have had to learn the devastating fates of their missing loved ones through Telegram groups.

This wasn't a battle related to land or resources. This was a massacre fueled by blind hatred, aimed at us just because we are Jewish.

We were targeted for our faith, for our beliefs, for simply being who we are.

Imagine waking up to the sounds of gunshots, missiles, sirens, trucks and motorcycles closing in on your neighborhood.

Think about our young soldiers, just 18 years old, stationed at bases, faced with an onslaught they never saw coming.

Before they could even fully grasp what was happening, lives were taken, like something out of a twisted, sadistic video game.

Now, we're asking for your help.

No, money can't bring back the lives that were stolen, but it can offer a sense of relief for all the families who were victims or this massacre.

The money will go towards these very families who lost their homes & family members who they now need to bury. Most importantly, your support sends a message to every single person affected: you're not alone.

In a world that often feels broken beyond repair, let this be the moment we stand up and say 'enough.' We might not be able to erase the horrors of that day, but together, we can show a united front against the kind of hatred that seeks to rip our world apart.

This act of terror needs to be eradicated from our modern world. There is no place for violence and hate. Thank you for standing with us.

Your support is not just appreciated—it's a beacon of hope in a time of overwhelming darkness.

Thank you
