We haven't seen a photo of my brother-in-law Omri since October 7. An hour ago, Hamas released a recent video of him.
The video doesn't matter; it's psychological warfare.
What matters is that Omri is alive; what matters is that we can and must BRING HIM & THEM HOME alive 🎗
Dear

students or whoever did this: If you think defacing my brother-in-law's poster will silence our family, you're wrong; if you think defacing any of these posters will silence the families of hostages, you're wrong. Your hate and villainy only strengthen us.
Harvard Yard 2024: Jewish students woke up this morning to see posters of innocent Israeli hostages completely defaced.

The families of hostages are harassed online ceaselessly. This is another example of abuse and atrocity denialism, supported by over 100k users on this platform who attacked and mocked the family of Evyatar David, who was taken hostage on October 7.

1. Cultural appropriation, a common practice of the descendents of those who invaded, occupied, and colonised the MENA region.
2. And that Hebrew boy grew up to be a Zionist leader, guiding his people from the diaspora to their ancestral homeland, Zion, the Land of Israel.

1. You're using defamatory language and cheapening a legal term to describe a war.

3. You're inciting additional unlawful and hate speech acts.
@_ZachFoster
It's appalling to see that an academic is:
1. Linking to a pro-Hamas website.
2. Echoing an article that doesn't include names, concrete information, context, counter-commentary, or evidence, and relies on hearsay of two anonymous sources.
3. Making parallels to the Holocaust.
Hamas violated two of the resolution's demands today:
1. It launched indiscriminate rocket attacks and rejected the Qatar-brokered framework for a temporary, six-week ceasefire.
2. It rejected the immediate and unconditional release of the hostages.
Your response, UNSG?
The Security Council just approved a long-awaited resolution on Gaza, demanding an immediate ceasefire, and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.
This resolution must be implemented. Failure would be unforgivable.
@antonioguterres
You offered no word about:
1. The fact Hezbollah is a ruthless terrorist organisation and a proxy of Iran in the region.
2. The violation of SC1701 by Hezbollah and Lebanon.
3. Hezbollah declaring war by attacking Israel on October 8.
4. The devasting impact on Israelis.

and my nieces Roni and Alma survived the October 7 massacre, but Omri, a devoted husband and a super-dad, was kidnapped.

150 days. The world keeps turning, life goes on, but not for us. 150 sleepless nights. 150 agonizing days asking when will we see Omri again?
We will never ever give up. Please scream with us, so that Omri and 133 hostages won’t be forgotten.
Hostages must be at the center of every conversation about this war.
More than five weeks ago, on Oct. 7, my brother-in-law Omri was yanked away from his wife, my sister Lishay, and their two beautiful daughters, Roni and Alma.

3. Jews are shielded by the authorities, i.e., they control the authorities.

A movement for peace would have demanded Hamas to release the hostages and surrender on October 7 instead of either cheering or justifying them for six months.
You're not a man of peace; you allied yourself with some of the most violent regimes and terrorist organisations.

1. They are wearing a pin that symbolises the lynching of Israelis.
2. Calling for a ceasefire without calling for the release of the hostages and Hamas' surrender - for the sake of Israelis and Palestinian Gazans alike - is a call in support of Hamas and their accomplices.
No matter how hopeless we feel at times; no matter how helpless we perceive ourselves when we meet decision makers.
Our impact as families of hostages worldwide is significant, and this statement, while not immediately changing the grim reality, reflects our advocacy work.
Over the past two weeks, families of hostages met decision makers of almost all the hostage deal brokers.
The message we received is clear: Hamas refuses to budge on unreasonable conditions, demanding a multi-stage permanent ceasefire without immediately releasing the hostages.
When I was interviewed a few weeks ago, I highlighted that the media and the public fell into Hamas' trap, believing erroneously that it agreed to the Egyptian hostage-release framework Israel agreed to.
Apparently, it was Egypt that led us all astray.
