Amid ongoing wild claims about a “Greater Israel,” Rabbi Areyah Kaltmann, the executive director of Chabad in Columbus, Ohio, nearly a year ago beautifully enunciated what Israel is fighting for, and what victory would look like. The full text can be found here:
The Ultimate Victory: A Six-Year-Old Oct. 7 Victim’s Answer to Terror
by Areyah Kaltmann, Algemeiner, September 5, 2025:
When we hear the word victory, certain images come to mind. The FIFA World Cup Trophy lifted high in front of billions of viewers. An Olympic gold medal hung around the champion’s neck. The Wimbledon Trophy raised triumphantly on Centre Court as spectators leap to their feet. We imagine champions like Messi, Michael Jordan, Federer, and Phelps — figures so legendary that they need no introduction.
But this week, I was struck by a very different image of victory. One that puts all the other medals, trophies, and records to shame.
It was a photograph of a six-year-old girl getting on the bus for her first day of school.

Her name is Abigail Edan. A dual Israel-Amerian citizen, Abigail’s home was invaded byHamas terrorists on October 7, 2023 — and they murdered her parents in front of her eyes.
She survived by hiding under her mother’s body, only to be taken into Gaza and held hostage for 50 days. Freed that November, Abigail was later adopted by two October 7 survivors, Zoli and Leron Mor.
Nearly two years later, she is stepping onto a yellow school bus with her ponytail bouncing, backpack slung over her shoulders. No fanfare. No roaring crowd. Just a quiet everyday moment captured on camera….
Abigail’s story represents this triumph of spirit. On October 7, Israel’s enemies sought to destroy the Jewish people. Yet here is a child who persevered: alive, smiling, carrying a lunchbox, living her life to the fullest. Not just for herself, but indeed for her murdered parents. For this little girl, each act of normalcy is a greater accomplishment than any world record.
Ultimately, true victory isn’t an athlete hoisting up a trophy or winning a championship. It’s in the tiny moments when a 6-year old gets on the bus, ready to start a new school year. It lies in continuing to strive when all hope seems lost, in maintaining dignity when the world tries to strip it away, in the quiet refusal to be broken and beaten….
Hamas terrorist attacking shelter where Supernova festival-goers were hiding during October 7 pogorom.
An important, extraordinary and shattering film started screening this week. Surviving October 7th: We Will Dance Againis about the massacre at the Supernova music festival during the October 7 pogrom in southern Israel.
A preview was shown at the JW3 Jewish community centre in London on Tuesday evening; it was subsequently being screened on BBC television and is being streamed on Paramount.
Somewhere over 360 of the approximately 3,500 participants and staff at the festival were murdered and about 40 kidnapped into Gaza, where an unknown number are still being held hostage.
The film stuns because it shows us the events of that terrible day as they unfolded through the eyes of the young festival-goers — and of the Hamas terrorists themselves — through footage taken from phones, Go-Pro cameras and studio interviews with survivors themselves.
We see the secular young Israelis dancing during the Friday night before the attack at what they called a “trance party” (with a disconcerting number of them high on drugs).
We watch with them as dawn rises — and in the sky rise the first rockets from Gaza, which the festival-goers think is just a regular attack that will soon be over. We see their increasing alarm as the rockets keep coming.
We and they hear the shooting start, and they can’t believe what’s happening— disbelief accentuated by the effect of the drugs they’ve taken.
Shockingly, we see what’s unfolding through the Hamas Go-Pro cameras as, deliriously screaming Allahu akbar (“God is great”) and about martyrdom, the Gaza stormtroopers smash through the border fence and ride their motorcycles and vehicles into Israel and the festival. And then we watch as they systematically commit mass slaughter.
We watch the young Israelis being mown down as they run. They film themselves as they confide their terror to their iPhones and desperately chart what’s happening. Through the eyes of Noam, we watch them hide in a garbage bin which is then raked with bullets, killing her longtime boyfriend, David, and leaving her wounded among a pile of bodies.
We hear the heartbreaking sound of these secular young Israelis crying out the words of the Shema as they realise they are facing their deaths. We see the astounding courage of Aner Shapira, who tosses out, one by one, no fewer than seven grenades thrown by terrorists into the roadside shelter where he is trapped — with a group including his best friend, 23-year-old Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was subsequently taken hostage and murdered — but is finally killed by the eighth. Another young survivor, Eitan, takes over throwing out the grenades until he passes out after an explosion, only to recover to find himself among a mound of the dead.
Four of these survivors, along with Aner’s father, Moshe, spoke at the London screening. This took great courage because they clearly remain in the deepest possible trauma. But they came to deliver an urgent message. Tell everyone to see this film, they said. Make people understand what happened that day.
Alas, we know that the people who most need to see it will refuse to do so. These are the people who deny what happened on October 7, who say accounts of these atrocities are just Israeli propaganda, who say if they did happen it was Israel’s fault and who obscenely support Hamas as a “resistance” movement.
And even if they do watch it, will it make any difference? How on earth can so many deny the obvious truth of what happened?
The reason is that, for many on the left, absolutely nothing can be allowed to contradict the narrative that Israel is an illegitimate state that has colonised and oppressed the Palestinian Arabs who are the indigenous people of the land. Although every element of that is untrue, it constitutes the default belief in liberal circles which permit no challenge to it whatever.
That’s because such liberals believe that their support for the Palestinian cause defines them as moral and good people. The fact that the Palestinians have committed bestial and sadistic atrocities upon Israelis therefore cannot be believed — because it would mean the Palestinians are in fact the oppressors and the Israelis their victims. And that would place these liberals on the side of evil.
As a result, they put forward any explanation, however preposterous, to deny what actually happened. They are totally immune to demonstrable evidence, because they fear that accepting it would shatter their entire moral personality. When it comes to Israel and the Palestinian Arabs, their whole thought system is therefore entirely sealed against the truth.
So the overwhelmingly liberal western media will continue to tell murderous lies about Israel. Interestingly, the film was made by the BBC in its Storyville strand. Yet the BBC’s appallingly biased coverage of Israel is the prime reason why the vast majority of the British public remains almost wholly unaware that Israel is being subjected to an eight-front Iranian war of extermination —and why so many have so viciously turned against the Jewish state.
So why has the BBCmade this film? Storyville’s commissioning editor, Lucie Kon, is herself a Jew with a courage and determination that are vanishingly rare in the BBC.
Even so, there were reportedly difficult negotiations to get the film on the air. Director Yariv Mozer told The Hollywood Reporter that the BBCforced him to agree not to describe Hamas as a terrorist organisation if he wanted the film to be shown. “It was a price I was willing to pay so that the British public will be able to see these atrocities and decide if this is a terrorist organisation or not,” Mozer said.
In fact, the young Israelis in the film refer to terrorists in Hebrew on many occasions. The film itself states: “The IDF says that more than 3,000 terrorists breached the 40-mile-long border in around 30 places.” This apparently met the BBC’s distinction between using the “t-word” itself and reporting others doing so.
The problem with the BBC’s reporting of the Middle East, however, goes far beyond its perverse refusal to use the word terrorist. Day in, day out the British news outlet disseminates the malevolent falsehoods and distortions about Israel produced by Hamas and its fellow travellers in the international “humanitarian” establishment that wickedly portray the IDF entirely falsely as human-rights abusers and war criminals.
Not once has the BBC — or any other media outlet — ever told the public that every correspondent in Gaza is forced to toe the Hamas line under threat of death or expulsion, and so every piece of information from there has to be treated as unreliable or worse.
TheBBC’s chief content officer, Charlotte Moore, attended the London screening. She introduced the film by referring to the “incredibly difficult year” for so many in the room and said: “I hope this film is a demonstration of the BBC commitment to telling stories fearlessly and fairly in pursuit of the truth.”
Well, no it isn’t. The BBC has contemptuously dismissed all complaints about the shocking malevolence of its coverage as being without foundation. It is nevertheless deeply discomfited by the charge against it of systematic bias and antisemitism.
So while the commitment of Lucie Kon to the truth is not in doubt, it’s hard not to conclude that the BBC top brass are using this film to sanitise their coverage — a prime source of incitement to hatred of Israel and the Jews — by giving the impression that it is instead fair-minded.
The deeply perverse response to October 7, however, goes far beyond one news organisation. Mozer says he offered the documentary to multiple streaming platforms in America, but they were unwilling to pick it up due to “concerns about the political situation”.
Israel is battling not just against genocidal enemies but also against a tidal wave of lies in an epidemic of insanity that has consumed the west. This film is vital because, like Israel itself, it stands for truth and justice against a west that has simply lost its mind.
The first official report of its kind “leaves no possibility of it being denied or ignored” by the international community.
By Batya Jerenberg, World Israel News
The evidence is clear that Hamas’ sexual sadism during its October 7 invasion of Israel was a strategic choice, said an official report publicized Tuesday as the first of its kind.
The statement revealed that the terrorists even forced families to watch their horrific acts.
The Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel studied dozens upon dozens of witness and survivor testimonies and interviews with rescuers and medical professionals who treated victims, some of which have not been made public. Its conclusion was unmistakable.
“The report, which will be submitted to the decision makers at the UN, leaves no possibility of it being denied or ignored,” said Association head Orit Sulitzeanu.
“The terrorist organization Hamas has chosen to harm the State of Israel with two clear strategies – taking citizens hostage and sadistic sex crimes.”
The document describes how the terrorists raped men, women and underage girls, in group attacks and one by one, in their rampages through Gazan envelope kibbutzim, towns and the Nova music festival near the border.
Often, the sexual violence was committed in front of the victims’ spouses, family or friends, in a way designed “to intensify the impact on the victims themselves and their environment, which was unable to prevent the harm [being inflicted],”said the report.
In most cases, the victims were murdered after being raped, but some were murdered while the heinous acts were being perpetrated.
The dead continued to be violated, with both women’s and men’s genitalia being horrifically mutilated in ways described in heart-wrenching detail in the report.
The document also makes clear that the sexual violence is continuing even now, against at least some of the 103 hostages still left alive in Hamas captivity in the Gaza Strip.
Many of the female abductees who were among the nearly 80 Israeli women and children released in a late November deal with Hamas have spoken out about the abuse they experienced.
They likewise spoke of what they knew their Hamas captors were inflicting on their friends, and have repeatedly stated that there is no doubt it is ongoing among those who were left behind.
“It is no longer possible to remain silent,” Sulitzeanu said with finality. “We expect the international organizations to take a clear position. It is impossible to stand on the sidelines. Remaining on the other side will be remembered as a historic stain on all those who chose to remain silent and deny the sexual crimes committed by Hamas.
Many women’s groups have refused to condemn Hamas even though Israeli accounts of the terrorists’ deliberate use of sexual violence emerged early on in the war sparked by the Hamas invasion in which 1,200 people were massacred.
These accounts were backed by investigative reports by such respected news organizations as The New York Times.
Those that did speak out did so only after weeks or months of pressure by Jewish groups and prominent media personalities.
Pramila Patten can’t sleep after hearing and seeing the terrorists’ massacres and sexual violence on October 7.
By Batya Jerenberg, World Israel News
After spending over a week hearing and seeing testimony of Hamas atrocities especially directed at women during its terrorists’ surprise invasion of Israel on October 7, a United Nations official said she now could not sleep at night, Ynet reported Monday.
Pramila Patten, special representative of the UN secretary-general on sexual violence in conflict, concluded her visit Monday, whose purpose was to “gather information on sexual violence, reportedly committed in the context of the attacks of Oct. 7 and its aftermath,” as a UN statement put it.
One of the first things she did was watch the 47-minute video compilation of the barbarities of the Hamas invaders made by the IDF shot by the terrorists themselves as well as CCTV footage at the murder sites.
“Only after I saw the video did I understand things that I didn’t understand before in terms of the magnitude of the disaster that happened,” she admitted, adding that she hadn’t slept since then.
Patten also visited the largest murder site, where more than 360 partygoers were murdered at a Nova dance rave, many of them having been brutally raped first. She toured Kibbutz Be’eri, one of the hardest-hit kibbutzim in the Gaza envelope, hearing the stories of a survivor of the slaughter and a first responder on the scene, and it shocked her.
“The world outside cannot understand the magnitude of the event,” she said. “I myself also internalized the magnitude of the event just by being here myself.”
Besides asking for witnesses and victims to come forward, she and her team of ten medical and legal experts spoke to doctors who are treating Hamas’ victims both physically and psychologically, those providing government support, and other relevant professionals.
Much of Patten’s team is staying for at least another week to continue their evidence-collection for a report she is expected to release on sexual violence in many countries, including Israel, later this month.
The Mauritanian lawyer had gained instant infamy in Israel after being confronted at a UN event on January 20 about the international body’s long silence over Hamas terrorists’ widespread, brutal rapes of women during their attack.
Lawyer and actress Linor Abargil, a rape victim herself, had expressed her disappointment over Patten “not condemning all the abuse that happened to our women,” and asked why she wasn’t taking immediate action. Patten responded, “Maybe you should have all the facts.”
She did not relate to the points that her condemnation had come a full two months after the atrocities had been committed, and that the UN had not acted in any way against the terror organization.
Perhaps to counteract the sense of betrayal that Israelis and their supporters around the world still feel over the world’s silence, Patten said in a meeting with President Isaac Herzog and his wife Michal last week, “I want to say that survivors and victims, we owe you all more than solidarity. We want to ensure that you have justice.”
Israeli officials confirm the death of 32 hostages,
20 more reported dead
Jerusalem was also assessing unconfirmed reports indicating that at least 20 additional captives may no longer be alive.
By JNS
At least 32 of the remaining 136 hostages captured by Hamas during its Oct. 7 terrorist onslaught are confirmed to have died, The New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing a confidential Israel Defense Forces intelligence assessment.
Their families have been updated, according to four IDF military officials who spoke anonymously to discuss classified information.
Jerusalem was also assessing unconfirmed reports indicating that at least 20 additional captives may no longer be alive, the officials said.
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, which represents relatives of the captives, on Tuesday evening confirmed the deaths of 31 people held in Gaza.
“According to the official data we have, there are 31 victims,” the forum said in a statement. “Before the article was released, an official message was given to all the families of the abductees by the liaison officers that there is no change in the situation assessment.”
Hamas abducted more than 240 people during its bloody rampage across the northwestern Negev, in which some 1,200 people were murdered and thousands more wounded.
One hundred five hostages, mostly women and children, were released last year as part of a ceasefire deal, which Hamas broke when it refused to hand over the last group of captives. Four more were released by Hamas before the ceasefire, while one hostage was rescued by Israeli troops.
The figure of 32—or possibly even 52— dead captives is significantly higher than previously thought and would mean that more than one-fifth of the remaining hostages have been killed. Last month, Jerusalem said Hamas was believed to be holding 28 bodies in Gaza.
The terror group has also been holding the bodies of slain IDF soldiers Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin since 2014, as well as two living Israeli civilians suffering from mental illness, Avera Mengistu, who crossed into Gaza in 2014, and Hisham al-Sayed, who entered Gaza in 2015.
Asked for comment by the Times, the IDF said it was still “deploying all available resources to locate and retrieve as much information as possible regarding the hostages currently held by Hamas.” Most of the dead are believed to have been murdered on Oct. 7, the army added.
Hamas is expected to turn down an offer for a hostages-for-ceasefire deal with Israel along the lines of the November agreement, the Saudi-owned Al Arabiya news channel reported on Sunday night.
The terrorist group is demanding that Israel release more Palestinian security prisoners in exchange for each of the remaining hostages. Hamas is reportedly insisting that Israel free terrorists arrested on Oct. 7.
Hamas is also seeking guarantees for the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip and a total end to the war—a stance that is incompatible with Israel’s stated goal of destroying the terrorist group.
“The efforts to free the hostages are continuing at all times,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told journalists on Sunday. “However, we will not agree to every deal, and not at any price.”
