Gadi Amichai, his uncles Yochaved and Oded Lifshitz were kidnapped on October 7th

"Difficult days are passing us by," said Gadi Amichai at the beginning of the rally, after the names of the abductees were read by Irit Yeftah.

"Chaim Perry, Yoram Metzger, Alex Danzig, Avraham Monder, Nadav Poplewell וYogev Buchstab They came to us in coffins and everyone, yes, everyone could have been here alive with us. There is no size to describe the rift in the kibbutzim that have to bury their members who died in excruciating agony and in the background hovers the question, is this our future? Will they all go back in closets?

During the last ten and a half months, 30 bodies were recovered and only 7 abductees were alive. This may be the last chance. A failure to reach a deal now indents the fate of all the abductees, the living as well as those who will never bring to Israel dozens of Ron Aradims who will live with them for decades to come.

A year to go. A year since the great desolation that still continues and the opinion does not tolerate it. Whoever sabotages the kidnapping deal brings an all-out regional war on the State of Israel. This was exactly Sinwar's goal on the seventh of October.

All the heads of the security system say - the time is ripe for a deal.

And from here we call for a deal - now!

  1. It was shocking to see people pass by us and continue to the ice cream parlor next to the restaurants in the center of Carmel without stopping even for a moment to identify themselves.
    As if what is wrong with them and the abductees, and they don't realize that any of us could have been abducted/murdered.

  2. Who said there is nothing to smoke in the center of Carmel? In this ghost town? Every time shirts of a different color went from red to yellow, this is what will bring back abductees for sure

  3. As usual with the suicidal left, the propaganda and all the budgets of the associations are spent on pressure against the government and incitement against it (and now against the rescue of the IDF, it turns out) instead of being a fist against the Palestinian Terrorist Authority and against Hamas. The public is not with you because they see where your propaganda is directed and understand that there are political elements here who make use of the hostages and want to fail us again in Gaza as they failed us after the Second Lebanon War and the return of Hezbollah to the border.

  4. I am in favor of a deal to return the kidnapped. There are several conditions that must be met in order for everyone to return. Total surrender, as a vocal minority wants, is not one of those conditions.

  5. Anyone who supports the "at any cost" deal that will only promote the next kidnapping, please forward your names and those of your relatives that you are willing to be the "at any cost" who will be paid when they are freed from murders that will carry out the next massacre just like what happened with Gilad Shalit's "at any cost" deal -
    Pay the price. We will collect your names and those of your loved ones that you volunteer to pay ("any price") and provide the
    The list for Hamas to murder and kidnap in the next round.
