The Jewish community mourns the tragic loss of the Bibas family—2-year-old Kfir, his brother Ariel, and their parents, Shiri and Yarden—who were murdered in Hamas captivity. Their funeral, held without their bodies, symbolizes Hamas' cruelty. We also remember Oded Lifshitz, an Israeli peace activist kidnapped by Hamas, and Rose Girone, the world's oldest Holocaust survivor, who passed away at 113.

In a recent exchange, Hamas returned the bodies of four Israeli hostages: 69-year-old Itzik Elgarat, 50-year-old Tsachi Idan, 50-year-old Ohad Yahalomi, and 86-year-old Shlomo Mantzur. This was part of an agreement where Israel released over 600 Palestinian prisoners, including convicted terrorists. This highlights the ongoing moral dilemmas Israel faces to bring its people home, even in death.

Adding to the injustice, the BBC has been caught mistranslating Arabic references to "Jews" as "Israelis" in a Gaza documentary, erasing antisemitism from Hamas' narrative. A boy saying, "The Jews destroyed us," was changed to, "The Israelis destroyed everything." A woman praising Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar for "jihad against the Jews" became, "fighting Israeli forces." This deliberate misinformation emboldens extremists and downplays the very real threats Jews face.

Media distortions, rising antisemitism, and moral dilemmas like these show why we must continue to fight for truth, justice, and the safety of our people. The world cannot ignore or excuse antisemitism.
