Survivors of the October 7 attacks at a music festival in Israel’s Negev Desert are urging students at American universities to look beyond the politics of the unfolding war and recognize “the truth” of Hamas’s atrocities.
“We’re speaking for the ones that cannot speak,” a 28-year-old Israeli-American, Jonathan Diller, who narrowly escaped the attacks, told a crowd of students at New York University on Saturday. Two of his friends who also attended the Nova music festival were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists. More than 1,400 Israelis and other nationalities died that day.
