And I'm just, it was, it was a tragedy.

And then these are kids my age going to a music festival that I would have went to.

And it, it, it was just not political.

None like Nova music festival was not a political thing.

And yet we had like,

compress them and flatten them into this political narrative.

And in doing so, we killed them a second time.

And I just like, I think it was just very tragic for me to realize that.

And I think one of the audio recordings that we had heard was a terrorist calling his dad, saying that he had killed 10 Jews with his own bare hands and celebrating.

And I thought I was gonna hear horror,

And instead the dad congratulated his son.

Yes.

And the mom was on the phone saying, I wish I was there with you.

And so I was, so this is our resistance.

This was who we were calling our martyrs that they were explicitly saying that they wanted to kill Jews with their own hands.

And I'm just, I, again, I always call myself an anti-Zionist, but not anti-Semitic.

And that completely deconstructed that.

Thank you for being honest.

I want to say, I admire that you had went out to find it, to look for the evidence six months after, because it took me a year

to finally attend this funeral.
