This April 2025 talk by CAMERA UK's @adamlevick on “The Abuse of Oct. 7th Memory” is just as relevant as ever: Almost immediately after the Oct. 7th Massacre, media outlets, international bodies, NGOs, academics, entertainers and activists began framing the story not as one about the brutality of the barbaric pogrom itself, but, instead, about Israel’s alleged “disproportionate response” to Hamas`s assault, which was soon characterised as “ethnic cleansing” or “genocide”. By the first anniversary of Oct. 7, those in Israel who had been murdered, brutalised or taken hostage had become merely a footnote in the increasingly common revisionist narrative of Israeli “genocide”. Unlike Holocaust revisionists in the decades since WW2, who were generally consigned to the political fringes, the whitewashing, obfuscation and inversion of Oct. 7th is not only common in the West, but is arguably the most socially acceptable view on the attacks and their aftermath. This phenomenon has been characterised by academic Balas Berkowitz as the rendering of Oct. 7th as a “non-event“. What we’ve seen continually since Oct. 7th is antisemitism atrocity inversion, revisionism and erasure that’s redolent of attempts after WWII – by the Arab and Muslim world, the extreme Left and the extreme Right – to deny and distort Holocaust history and its memory. Here are the four main themes in this abuse of Oct. 7th memory: 1. Oct. 7th inversion:  framing Oct. 7th massacre as a footnote, while centering the genocide libel against Israel as the main take-away from Oct. 7th 2. Disappearing Hamas: This erasure of the role the mass murderers play in the story takes place in the dearth of coverage of Hamas’s decisions in the war that followed Oct. 7th, in avoiding holding the group morally responsible for the massacre itself, and for the fact that they of course knew that their assault would result in a war causing untold suffering for Gazan civilians. 3. Soft justification of Oct. 7th:  ‘Contextualizing” Oct. 7th by citing the “76 years of occupation” lie, or by repeating the mantra that Oct. 7th didn’t happen in a vacuum”, which are mealy mouthed ways of implicitly justifying the massacre. 4. Accusing Jews or Israel of exploiting Oct. 7th to garner sympathy, or to further oppress Palestinians: This narrative is consistent with one of the main tropes of antisemitism: that Jews must be up to something, and that whatever Jews say and do can’t be taken at face value: they must have some ulterior motive or hidden agenda. (Guardian ran a piece titled “How Israel has made trauma a weapon of war). Finally, on what we should do: let me suggest, in light of the danger to Israel and world Jewry posed by this abuse of Oct. 7th memory, that, as part of our collective response, we engage in a serious effort to memorialise that day: establishing Oct. 7th museums, memorials and monuments in the diaspora, and the Oct. 7th version of the Shoah Foundation to record and make available the testimony of survivors. In short, we need to fight back against the false narrative by doing whatever it takes to tell and widely share the real story of that dark Shabbat day.  The preservation of Oct. 7 memory is the challenge of our generation.

I walk the talk.

🛑Three years after October 7, Yuval Raphael returns to the place where she survived the Nova massacre, this time to sing. Ahead of tonight’s memorial ceremony at the Nova site in Re’im, Yuval wrote that returning there still shakes her deeply. She described the past three years as learning all over again how to leave home, feel safe, smile and dream and said that for a long time, simply getting up in the morning and getting through the day was her only goal. “Since October 7, I feel as if we were all born again.” Yuval, who survived the massacre by hiding among the bodies of those murdered around her, later went on to represent Israel on one of the world’s biggest stages. Tonight, she returns to Re’im. Not only as a survivor but as a voice carrying the memory of those who never came home💔🇮🇱

Masked Intruders Sabotage Latvia’s Border Defenses— Masked individuals crossed from Belarus into Latvia and sabotaged border surveillance equipment, damaging an electrical distribution cabinet and stealing two cameras before retreating across the border, Latvian authorities said. Several hours earlier, three masked escorts had attempted to force at least 20 migrants toward Latvia, threatening Latvian soldiers while apparently carrying a handgun. Soldiers blocked the crossing. Interior Minister Jānis Dombrava described the confrontation as unusually aggressive and warned that further incidents could bring more serious consequences for Belarus. Border Guard chief Guntis Pujāts said the perpetrators could be organized criminals operating with the favorable attitude of Belarusian authorities, rather than members of its state services. Repairs are underway, but Latvia’s military described the incidents as continuing hybrid pressure using illegal migration against the EU and NATO’s external border, and pledged continued support for border guards.

Sochi again 👀🔥

סיפור גבורה מטורף מה7/10 זה של המסתערב שנסע להציל את אשתו מהתופת והסיפור הזה באמת סרט. ״נו אז מי אם יש מחבלים, אני הולך להציל את אשתי..״

Three years ago, at 6:29am on Simchat Torah morning, ZAKA volunteers (Israel's volunteer disaster victim identification organization) received the call. On October 7, 2023, they walked into something none of them could have imagined. "We walked into a nightmare without precedent in the history of this country." A thread:🧵 Photo by Yossi Aloni/Flash90

Tzvi Ezra was processing bodies at the hospital when his phone rang. It was his mother. Her friend was standing next to her, desperate - her daughter, a police officer at the Sderot station, hadn't answered since yesterday. He asked for her name. Then looked to his left. She was lying right in front of him. "I couldn't stop the tears. I just told my mother I'd call her back - and hung up."

At the Nova festival site that night, the phones of the murdered kept ringing. Parents. Friends. Siblings. Calling numbers that would never be answered again. The ZAKA volunteers heard them ringing as they carried the bodies. 266 bodies were evacuated from Nova that night alone.

Avshalom Yaakovi found two blood-soaked phones in the field. He charged them. Waited for someone to call. When a friend of a fallen soldier finally called - he lied. Said he found the phone on the ground, not on a body. He later said kaddish for the fisherman whose phone it was. Every single day. For a full year.

They danced with the Torah the night before. By morning they were carrying the dead - through sights no human being should ever have to witness. They made one promise: no one gets left behind. They kept it. May the memories of all the victims of October 7, 2023, be a blessing forever. 🕯️🇮🇱
