In the corner of a family living room in a home south of Tel Aviv sits a brightly painted surfboard.
It is adorned with frangipanis, strawberries, turtles and a bottle of sparkling wine, along with the image of a smiling surfer.
This is how the Zender family want to remember their sun-loving, surfing daughter.
“Noa’s character was to do at least one good thing a day, and we are trying to keep that going, and keep telling her story because we cannot forget October 7,” Noa’s mother Mali Zender told the ABC.
Both the Israeli government and Hamas need to be disbanded, and better people must follow

Why the downvotes? This is absolutely correct.
It’s been my experience that a crazy amount of people on Lemmy actually think terror attacks are a good thing if they hit the people of a country they don’t like 😬 it’s honestly pretty much the only thing that’s making me reconsider lemmy as an alternative to reddit
Yeah, I have the same feeling. People are blindly hating on Israel and for some reason justify violence against it’s people as some weird retaliation for the suffering of Palestinians.
“blindly hating” is a pretty strange way to describe opposition to ethnic cleansing, genocide, illegal occupation, settler colonialism, apartheid / racial segregation, ethno-nationalism, regular taking of women and children as hostages in “administrative detention” without having access to legal representation or even knowing what they would be accused off, torture, rape, sexual violence against minors in those facilities, regular murders, looting, breaking and entering of peoples home to drive them off their land, poisoning of livestock…
All of this is either legally confirmed by the ICJ itself or argued in consensus by major human rights organizations. Often these acts are documented by Israelis themselves, who proudly boast about the crimes they committed. Except for the direct genocide all of this has been going on for decades.
In the article the family members are repeatedly quoted asking “who approved of the festival location?” in regards to security. The question if it is ethically or legally acceptable to “rave” high on drugs on land you stole from another people, just outside the wall used to siege them in, with slow but systematic starvation, seems to not be a common question among Israeli minds. In such it is also cynical how the people indulging in that obscene display of their supremacists mindset are described as “wanting to spread love”.
That does not justify killing unarmed people. Their delusions shouldn’t be repeated without contextualizing the reality of who they are and what they do either.
We were just focused on the “that does not justify killing unarmed people”, which another commenter above just did 😬
If someone comes to take your land you would never ever ever raise a hand against them?
