October 7, 2023 was a nightmare.
On October 8, we woke up to a new reality.

A reality where our streets were flooded with open anti-Jewish hatred. One where people were protesting Israel’s very existence and calling for violence every single week.

We have been living this reality for the past two years.

O Senado Federal realizou ontem (7) uma sessão solene em homenagem às vítimas dos ataques terroristas do Hamas a Israel em 7 de outubro de 2023, que completaram dois anos.

Entre os homenageados estava Rafael Zimerman, sobrevivente do massacre no festival de música Nova, educador da StandWithUs Brasil e embaixador do Pin for Peace, que emocionou os presentes ao relatar os momentos de terror vividos durante o ataque. “Era uma festa pela paz e coexistência. Até que eles chegaram”, afirmou, descrevendo o desespero de se esconder em um abrigo tomado por gás e lembrando das cenas do Holocausto.

Durante o discurso, Zimerman criticou o governo brasileiro por não reconhecer o Hamas como grupo terrorista e por ter retirado o país da Aliança Internacional para a Memória do Holocausto (IHRA). Ele pediu que os parlamentares não se calem diante do antissemitismo e da distorção da memória das vítimas. “A memória das vítimas é jogada na lama da luta política. Por favor, não permitam”, apelou.

A sessão foi proposta pelo senador Sergio Moro (União/PR) e contou com o apoio da Confederação Israelita do Brasil (CONIB). Além de Zimerman, participaram da solenidade Carlos Reiss, Coordenador Geral do Museu do Holocausto de Curitiba; professor Denis Rosenfeld; Rasha Athamni, encarregada de Negócios da Embaixada de Israel;
Rony Vainzof, secretário da CONIB; e Dra. Anelise Fróes, doutora em Antropologia Social.

Também estiveram presentes Jack Terpins, presidente do Congresso Judaico Latino-americano; Ilana Trombka, diretora-geral do Senado; Suzana Bennesby, vice-presidente da Federação Israelita do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FIERJ); Fernando Brodeschi, vice-presidente da Federação Israelita do Paraná; e Tamara Socolik, presidente da Associação Cultural
Israelita de Brasília (ACIB), entre outras autoridades.

O massacre de 7 de outubro de 2023 foi o maior ataque antissemita desde o Holocausto. Naquele dia, terroristas do Hamas invadiram Israel, assassinando 1200 pessoas, sequestrando famílias inteiras e espalhando um ódio que o mundo jurou nunca mais tolerar. Foi um dia que marcou profundamente a história do povo judeu e que ainda ecoa a urgente necessidade de libertação para os 48 reféns ainda em cativeiro na Faixa de Gaza.

Esse ataque, todavia, não foi um evento isolado, mas parte de uma longa trajetória de antissemitismo que atravessa séculos e continua a crescer, mesmo 80 anos após a derrota da Alemanha nazista.

Ainda que com novas roupagens e discursos, o ódio aos judeus segue vivo nas redes sociais, em ambientes acadêmicos e religiosos, em manifestações políticas e até mesmo em eventos culturais. Por isso precisamos sempre lembrar que "Nunca mais" é agora!

Ontem (7), em virtude do aniversário de dois anos do massacre realizado pelo Hamas no sul de Israel, em 7 de outubro de 2023, a ONG de direitos humanos Rio de Paz realizou uma ação especial na praia de Copacabana. Foram fincadas na areia bandeiras de Israel com fotos dos 48 reféns sequestrados pelo grupo terrorista e ainda mantidos em cativeiro na Faixa de Gaza.

"Nenhuma causa justifica o uso do terror. Quem se cala diante do crime de 7 de outubro de 2023 perde autoridade moral para condenar o que se passa em Gaza", afirmou Antônio Carlos
Costa, fundador da ONG.

Segundo a Rio de Paz, o protesto busca lembrar ao mundo de que toda vida inocente importa e que quando se trata do sofrimento das vítimas, não há distinção entre nacionalidades. O ato também foi uma resposta a manifestações que visam negar ou justificar o terrorismo cometido pelo Hamas.

RT @LTC_Shoshani: ❗️THWARTED: Major Smuggling Attempt of Advanced Weapons From Iran For Terrorists in Judea and Samaria

Another shipment of advanced weaponry originating from Iran and intended for operatives in Judea and Samaria was recently intercepted.

Additionally, a weapons dealer from the Ramallah area was arrested after intelligence revealed his ties to smugglers, leading to the seizure of a weapons shipment sent by Iran’s IRGC and Quds Force to terrorist operatives in Judea and Samaria.

This operation is part of an ongoing campaign against Iranian-backed smuggling. In July, the IDF eliminated two Quds Force operatives in Lebanon involved in these efforts.

RT @ArgamaniNoa: 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.

RT @Elad_Si: Claiming October 7th as an international day of protest against Israel is straight out of the anti-Zionist playbook. It’s the same reason they use the word Holocaust in their slogans or call convicted terrorists hostages. Every term, every date, every symbol is all part of a deliberate effort to erase and delegitimize the Zionist narrative. By hijacking our language and our trauma, they try to rewrite the story and mix victim and aggressor. It’s so obvious and that’s why it’s so maddening.
