Shalom friends,
October 7: ‘Black Saturday’, Israel was invaded by Islamic terrorists and Gazan citizens.
3,000 innocent people were injured, 1,300 were murdered and 253 people were taken hostage into Gaza.
“They negotiated with Hamas to sell me.”
At 9a.m., October 7, Palestinian civilians from Gaza set fire inside Nili Margalit’s home and pulled her out of her safe room.
They put Nili on a golf cart, covered her with a white sheet and drove her to the Gaza Strip border. She was surrounded by shouting Palestinian civilians with Kalashnikov rifles, then transferred to a car and taken into Khan Yunis.
At that point she was sold to Hamas.
“When they were paid, I was taken straight into a tunnel,” Nili said.
She was taken into a ‘reception room’ in a tunnel that held about 30 people.
Nili recalled that the captives were divided up into smaller groups, including one for people over 70 years old, the weak and the sick.
“…pure hatred.”
Mia Schem was captured while attending the Nova music festival and taken into Gaza. She described her encounter in Gaza as “pure hatred”.
“There are no innocent citizens there…,” Mia said, “There are children who from the moment they are born are taught that Israel is Palestine and just to hate the Jews.”
November 30: Both Nili and Mia were released from captivity, and now these courageous survivors speak publicly about their nightmare as hostages.
Today, 134 innocent civilians remain captive in the clutches of sheer evil – at the mercy of satanic Islamic terrorist groups and Gazan civilians.
We have a moral responsibility to tell their story and demand their release. We shall continue to be a voice for the silenced innocents and stand in solidarity with the families of the victims, the Israeli soldiers and the sovereign nation of Israel.
Let us not allow evil to go unanswered and unchallenged.
Please, if you are able, forward this message and attached poster to others.
AM YISRAEL CHAI
