Statement on the Greens’ Senate Motion

The Greens have yet again shown they are nothing but a Party of division who promote hatred of Israel to win votes and sow disunity. ZFA President, Jeremy Leibler, said “their stunt in the Senate today to demand the Government sanction the State of Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu and other members of the Israeli government, […]

💔💔 It’s been a year. It’s been a year since we saw the love of a father for his daughter. His dedication to her happiness. His urge to protect her right up until the very end.

16 year old Ruth Peretz lived with cerebral palsy. She had an incredible love for music and so despite the challenges, her doting father Eric would take her to music festivals. They were at the Nova dance party on 7 October and for over a week were considered missing. Ruth’s wheelchair had been left behind and it is believed that her father carried her until they were eventually run down and murdered by Hamas terrorists.

It’s been one year since Hamas terrorists looked this sweet girl and her father in the eyes and murdered them. It is simply beyond comprehension.

Let us take a moment today to remember this doting father, who ran until his final breath on this earth for his daughter 💔💔

Senseless 😢 May their souls be amongst the righteous 🙏

💔💔💔 Exactly one year after he was kidnapped from the Nova Music Festival, it has been announced that Idan Shtivi was murdered on 7 October and his body is being held in captivity in Gaza.

Idan was considered missing until early January when the IDF confirmed he had in fact been kidnapped and was being held in Gaza.

The Hostage and Missing Families forum said “We share in the deep sorrow of the Shtivi family. Idan (28) loved nature, photography and animals. He was very attached to dogs and animals and was supposed to start his second year studying sustainability and governance at the Reichman University. Idan always thought of others and sacrificed himself for others.”

On 7.10 Idan arrived early in the morning at the Nova festival. When the attack began, Idan helped a guy and a girl he met for the first time when going to the site to escape, a choice that eventually led to his abduction.

Idan leaves behind his parents Eli and Dalit, 3 brothers and his partner Stav. Idan’s body is still being held captive by Hamas. We call on them to release his body immediately so that he can be farewelled properly and respectfully by his family.

We send our deepest condolences to Idan’s loved ones. We cannot imagine the year that they have endured waiting for him to be released. May Idan’s memory be forever blessed.
