We woke up to a nightmare on October 7. My husband’s cousin kidnapped after his daughter was murdered by Hamas. Since then we’ve seen an explosion of hate in our progressive city. There are too many stories that never get told. Please support my work on heidibachram.substack.com

My husband’s cousin Tsachi was kidnapped from his home in Israel by Hamas. He was dragged to Gaza barefoot, covered in his daughter’s blood. He never came back alive. How DARE you use that word.

I just watched a distressed Jewish woman try to get past a screaming horde as they chant in support of the Houthi terrorists. A loud drum beats and masked men are shouting at Jewish women in London in 2024. And nothing is done to stop it. I am disgusted and ashamed. @metpoliceuk

The Brandenburg Gate in Germany lit up tonight in solidarity with Israel and the hostages. We can’t even keep ribbons up for more than a minute in this country. @N12News

The statue of Jesus in Rio De Janeiro lit up in orange for the Bibas children. What a beautiful and powerful act of solidarity 🧡 @kann_news

Pro-Pals in Brighton just mobbed my local shopping centre shouting “from the river to the sea” which is a genocidal slogan. No one is beating them unconscious. They freely call for ethnic cleansing of Jews and nothing happens. That’s my average Saturday. Disgusting people.

How quickly the world forgets the 12 Israeli Druze children murdered by Hezbollah when they talk of ‘escalation’.

This is Inbar Heiman. She could easily be at @glastonbury right now. But she was at Nova when monsters came and chased her down on motorbikes, murdered and dragged her to Gaza. She’s STILL there. Today those who support her killers are welcomed to applause. The world is MAD.

The terrorists just took Arbel through a savage Gazan mob. I cannot imagine how terrified she must have been. The world allowed this. Shame on you all. I feel sick.

Pro-Pals took over the streets of central London last night. Set off fireworks in the busiest parts. Chanted for Israel’s destruction. And I don’t see a single police officer. So do racist thugs run our capital now? It’s like a nightmare dystopia. @metpoliceuk

“Say it loud, say it clear. Jew-hate is not welcome here.” March against antisemitism. London now. 🙌

An open letter to @Dawn_French Dear Dawn, I have watched the video that you posted about the war between Hamas and Israel. You are entitled to your view of course and I am sympathetic to the plight of ordinary Gazans who did not participate or endorse the terrorist attacks of October 7. Yet your video describing the Hamas massacre as a “bad thing” in a mocking tone appears to minimise or dismiss the severity and horror inflicted that terrible day. My husband’s cousin Tsachi Idan was at home asleep when the terrorists invaded his kibbutz. The family hid in the safe room but there was no lock so he held it shut. The terrorists forced, at gunpoint, a local teenager to try to lure them out. When that did not work they fired at head height at the door. Tsachi’s eldest daughter Ma’ayan was helping her father protect the family. The bullet hit her in the head and she died instantly. We know every detail of this horror because Hamas were live streaming and recording. They then held the family inside their home for five hours and it became their base of operations while they murdered and kidnapped dozens of civilians on the kibbutz. They marched Tsachi to Gaza covered in his child’s blood. There he was held hostage for many months until at some point he was killed. His body was returned in February. We will never recover from this trauma. Never. The entire universe has changed. There are still 56 more hostages in Gaza and 56 more families suffering this unfathomable torture. To describe this so glibly adds to a deep well of pain. Since then at home in Brighton & Hove we have witnessed the celebration of the murder of our family, seen antisemitism triple, seen Hamas supported. We have been attacked and harassed. The world has become a hostile place. I do hope that you can find empathy in your heart for us and the many thousands of people who were murdered, raped, maimed and kidnapped that day. For them and their families and friends. I hope too that you will delete your insulting video and be more respectful and kind in further expressions on this conflict. In hope.

Yesterday Trafalgar Square was packed with antisemites and today it was full of Jews and their friends. Remembering the 1200 murdered by Islamist terrorists including 18 British citizens. Two more this week in Manchester. Silence fell. We were together. Never alone.

I have never been ashamed to be British. I am today. Not in my name.

I think a lot about Tanzanian student Joshua Mollel who was swarmed by Hamas terrorists. They screamed in his face, threw him to the ground. Then beat, stabbed and shot him. They celebrated after. He was nothing but a bloodied trophy to them. There were no marches for Joshua.

I wish the British government would do this too. @YvetteCooperMP

This nasty little pro-Pal was in a Jewish part of London last night spitting on hostage stickers. There are still 15 bodies held in Gaza and she spat on them. What a disgusting human being she is. 🎥 @habibi_uk

Welsh pro-Pal rocks up in Egypt and faced with the complex reality of this conflict gets on his knees: “I beg you. Allow us to march to Falastin. You’ve GOT to listen to me.” The arrogance, naïveté and narcissism in one sweaty speech.

My husband @adammaanit was just speaking about the murder of his relatives on October 7 at Sussex Uni. Some students were stood around laughing so he called them out. “I’m talking about someone in my family dying. Is that humorous to you?” They looked sheepish and claimed to want to listen. They didn’t. After a minute they slunk away. The dehumanisation of dead Jews is so intense that ppl laugh. That’s what leads to violence at synagogues.

It’s extremely upsetting to watch mentally unwell Avera Mengistu being paraded through whistling, jeering crowds in Gaza. He’s visibly distressed, has tics and is struggling to walk. Where are all the mental health advocates?? Who is speaking up for this vulnerable man.

Or Levy can barely stand or walk and has to be held up by terrorists to get to the stage they parade these men on. Or is 33 years old. He is a young man who was at a music festival. Hamas murdered his wife and starved him. I am FURIOUS that the world let this happen.

How gently Naama Levy’s parents hold her. How softly they whisper. I wish her a smooth and speedy recovery for whatever ordeal she has suffered. You are safe now Naama. nitter.app/AvivaKlompas/status/18…

Hamas kidnapped Omer Wenkert from a music festival. Stripped him, bound him, threw him in the back of a pick up truck. Beat him while he was tied there helpless. Then starved him until he was barely recognisable. Now he is in the safe and loving arms of his parents once again.

Jews were murdered in Manchester today and tonight in my city the local pro-Pals went ahead with a plan to shut down the train station. A brave soul shouted “Free the hostages” and they BOOED him. This dehumanisation is what gets Jews killed. I felt really scared in there.

There was a Jew-hunt in Amsterdam so the pro-Pals decided to have ANOTHER protest. It was banned. They did it anyway and just got arrested en masse. It seems the Dutch police are trying to make up for their terrible failure.

Disgusting pro-Palestinians painted Anne Frank’s hands red as though she has blood on them. There is no other reason to target her statue other than she was Jewish. This is vile and clear cut antisemitism.

These women are making the triangle sign for Hamas right in front of police in London and shouting for Israel to be destroyed. How can any woman simp for terrorists who gang-raped Israelis in October 7? Shame on them.

The monsters surround Doron Steinbrecher like wolves. Terrorising her to the last moment. Evil.

She said on October 8 on national TV that she was “full of joy” about what had “happened”. Her visa was revoked. A human rights tribunal now overturned it saying she wasn’t talking about Hamas or the massacre. What else happened before that date? What a farce.

Only two years!! They should never be let near a patient EVER AGAIN.

I will never understand the mindset of a young British woman who has no skin in the game going into a Jewish area and abusing Jews in the name of an ideology that would strip her of every liberty she so forcefully enacts.

The mother of hostage Alon Ohel just found out her son is alive in the Gazan tunnels but chained, starved and injured. He is not on the ‘humanitarian’ list. Hear her primal scream. “This world needs to be turned UPSIDE DOWN!” We are with you Idit. Scream with her.

The brother of hostage Evyatar David who was seen emaciated and digging his own grave has said he wants @Keir_Starmer to look his mother in the eye and explain why he’s giving a reward to Hamas. He won’t of course because he already refused to meet them. Disgusting. @JuliaHB1

The Swiss fencing team lost to Israel, coming second place and decided to turn their back when the national anthem played. Given Swiss neutrality in WWII it’s an interesting moment to take a position. Stolen Jewish assets were laundered through their banks. Sit down Switzerland.

This is the most glorious reunion. Guy Gilboa-Dalal in the loving arms of his beautiful family. His mother was literally heartbroken and had to have major surgery. How wonderful to see her joy. Her heart and all our hearts are healed.

These are the heroes who stopped an antisemite smashing up our 7/10 memorial in Brighton. “I'm no hero but when you see something wrong you've got to do something.” I wish there were a million of them but sometimes all you need are two. Show some love for Ryan and Kim.

When my husband’s cousin Tsachi was kidnapped he was in his pyjamas covered with the blood of his child who Hamas murdered. He is not the same as the violent terrorists that Sinwar wanted to set free. You disgust me.

Look at this opera pro-Pal aggressively display the Palestinian flag. Fighting staff to keep it. I hope he never works again

Pro-Hamas fans in New York chanting that Palestinians can resist “by any means necessary” on the day an American hostage was buried. Hersh was shot in the head and they think it’s “necessary”. What a twisted, sick, foul movement.

A pro-Palestinian arrested today in London for what looks like dressing like a Hamas paraglider. After the terrorists invaded Israel using this method they raped and murdered hundreds of kids at a rave. These people are sick.

This is Karen Diamond. She’s a Jewish woman who just wanted the innocent hostages in Gaza home. A pro-Palestinian man set fire to her in Boulder. She has now died of her injuries. This hateful movement is killing Jews.

Hamas fans are about to discover that getting arrested and expelled from university and ruining your life chances will not in fact free Palestine.

Hamas raped, tortured and mutilated 360 young ppl dancing at a peace rave in Israel. They hunted them in fields and forests. Chopped the breasts off a woman as they raped her. Not a word from Damon. Nothing. You disgust me.

Why does it feel like everyone else is getting the blame for dead hostages except the monsters who murdered them.

I really don’t understand how a regressive, homophobic, racist bunch of murderers and rapists got to be poster boys for the progressive left.

Terrible story told by an Israeli mum @BrandyCMendez in Ireland who was about to give birth from a high risk pregnancy and her doctor decided to lecture her about ‘genocide’. Bravely she told her it was inappropriate and to leave and she didn’t want her care anymore. This is what demonisation does. It puts ordinary Israelis and Jews in scary positions when they’re most vulnerable. That’s the trickle down impact of hate.

It’s so incredibly inspiring to see thousands marching against antisemitism in London. After yesterday’s vile hate-fest it’s refreshing to be surrounded with love and support. Thank you London.

The horrible President of Ireland was invited to give a speech at Holocaust Memorial Day and couldn’t help but sneak Gaza into it. Jewish ppl protested and were dragged out. That’s the disgusting place we’re in.

There are still brave and principled people in the arts. Well done 🙌

President Trump at the UN just berated those who recognised Palestine and called it a “reward for these horrible atrocities”. He said the world should have been united in one message: “Release the hostages.” Absolutely correct.

Let me get this right. A bunch of pro-Pal thugs endanger cyclists by running into the race and now the Israeli team is excluded for “safety reasons”. This is capitulation to bullies and it’s blatant discrimination. Shame on the Italian organisers.

The gross irony of marching in front of a banner saying no to ethnic cleansing while chanting for Jews to be removed “from the river to the sea”. Sick hypocrites on the streets of London right now.

The pro-Pal squatters from @Columbia today calling for the release of the “Holy Land Foundation 5” prisoners. These were men who filtered $12 million to Hamas from the US. These idiotic kids are literal terrorist supporters.

We found out today that Hamas livestreamed holding my husband’s relatives prisoner after they had murdered their 18 year old daughter. They filmed the family’s fear and terror. The shock and grief. And they broadcast it. I don’t know how to comprehend this.

At 5:30pm Brighton pro-Pals plan to take over the train station. Last time they did it this woman said all Zionists should die. Jews were murdered in Manchester today. Police here will do nothing to stop ppl like this spewing their violent hate.

The Amy Winehouse statue has stood undisturbed and respected for years. It has her Star of David necklace out and proud. Until today when a pro-Palestinian defaced her Jewishness with a sticker. This is GROSS antisemitism. Please remedy this @CamdenMarket now. h/t @EtanSmallman

The only female hostage left in Gaza isn’t coming out today. Hamas hunted Inbar Heiman, surrounded her like hyenas and murdered her. They dragged her lifeless to hell tunnels and now won’t let her family have peace. MONSTERS.

My husband’s cousin Tsachi Idan was kidnapped from his home covered in the blood of his murdered child. He is NOT a “detainee” of the monsters that did that. He is a HOSTAGE. Do not dare to make equivalence between convicted terrorists and innocent civilians. You disgust me.

This is Alon Ohel. He is spending his 24th birthday bound and chained in a Gazan tunnel. This human who can create such beauty is being starved and abused. His body wounded by shrapnel. Untreated, festering. This talented man. Release him.

Jason Isaacs is one of the handful of celebs to consistently wear the yellow ribbon for the hostages. “Just for wearing it, I’ve been called a ‘Zionist baby killer’, a’ Zionazi’. Even a yellow hostage pin for innocents is deemed political – which it isn’t.” Absolute hero.

Owen Jones supports the man who shared a video of my husband’s family being tortured by Hamas on October 7 and branded them “settlers”. As though they deserved it. I never hated anyone before. I do now.

David from Youth Demand is the one who tried to storm the stage and cover Yuval Raphael in red paint. He said he was “absolutely terrified” to take the action. You know what’s terrifying David. Hiding under a pile of bodies while terrorists try to murder you. I am ashamed that David is British. He does not represent us @YuvalRaphael_IL We love you.

One of those arrested for supporting Palestine Action is a TEACHER!! She’s even inciting thousands to commit a terror offence. I would not want this person anywhere near my child or anyone else’s.

“The Jewish machine is so strong. It doesn’t allow you to talk.” An antisemite assumes this taxi driver will agree with her hate. Taxi driver: “Right you can get the f**k out of my cab. Out!” More ppl need to stand up for Jews. Well done that man.

I was holding it together until I saw the Israeli border police salute the convoy bringing home the bodies of our hostages. Now the tears have started, I don’t think they will ever stop.

Gal Gadot went to visit hostage families today. She hugged them. She cried with them. What a beautiful human. Photo: Lior Rotstein @bringhomenow

The haters booed. They tried to drown her out. They tried to defeat her. They failed. Vote 06. #Eurovision2024 #EdenGolan

What are these pro-Pals even protesting for. It’s Hamas that has to agree to the peace deal. Why aren’t their chants aimed at the terrorists? Israel already agreed. They’re not pro-Palestinian. They’re pro-hate.

This is the hateful antisemite who destroyed our 7/10 memorial on Jewish New Year. Disgusting, despicable human being. @sussex_police

Englishman arrives in Egypt, gets hot, doesn’t sleep well, drinks only bottled water and realises that the Egyptian border with Gaza is heavily fortified and impossible to get near. What a joke these people are.

Why is a sitting British MP supporting a group the government is about to ban as terrorists?

The Jewish woman visibly in distress yesterday just got in touch. “Murderer” was screamed in her face by the vile pro-terror protestors outside the Jewish community centre. They spat “fascist” at an 80 year old who only wanted to attend a peace conference. Jill (not her real name) said she wanted to let everyone know she was fully recovered and still glad she went to the event to hear from Israeli Arabs and Jews, Palestinians and British Jews about how to stop the killing. She wished she could have shown a “braver face” for the organisers and sends a big thank you to everyone for their support and kindness. I think Jill is one of the bravest people I’ve seen. To walk through that hateful mess and carry on striving for peace. Bravo Jill 🙌

There will more solidarity for Hamas terrorists at @glastonbury than for their 344 music festival victims. How did this country get here?

Why is a sitting British MP wearing a shirt with Israel erased? Like a macabre football game. #Glastonbury2025

I cannot think of another time when a British politician would try to get elected in Britain using the colours of the flag of another would-be nation. This is INSANE.

Pro-Pals outside the Jewish community centre yesterday seem to delight in targeting Jewish women. Here a masked male points and chants at a young woman who is already clearly upset and scared. Another beats a drum in her ear. They are vile misogynists just like the rapists Hamas.

When Hamas released the bodies of 83 year old Oded Lifshitz and the two Bibas children, one of the terrorists made this “T” gesture. It means you enter Gaza standing and you leave dead. He’s talking about an elderly peace campaigner, a baby and a child. This is who they are. Evil.

This is the Hezbollah supporter. 🎥 @lmharpin

My husband’s relative Ma’ayan Idan had just celebrated her 18th birthday. She was home when the sirens blared. In her pyjamas when she frantically helped her father Tsachi hold the safe room door shut. Hamas shot her in the head. We will never forget you Ma’ayan. We love you.

“Glastonbury Festival does not condone hate speech or incitement to violence of any kind from its performers.” They literally platformed a band with one member on a terror charge. Riled up the festival to be the place for incitement. This mess is all on you @glastonbury.

The problems we face in one image.

This is Emily Damari’s mum, Mandy. Emily is a British hostage in Gaza. She was shot in the hand when Hamas killed her beloved dog. Then they kidnapped her and she has been in tunnels with monsters ever since. “Soon there will be nothing left of my heart - or Emily.” Free Emily.

So many people came out last night in Brighton to walk with us and remember the victims of October 7. After the Manchester attack this is an act of profound bravery in a city that’s so hostile to Jews and Israelis. These ppl are truly the best of us. Am Yisrael Chai.

We cannot tolerate these people any more.

RAF memorial defaced today in London. Because they don’t just hate Israel. They hate us. @Telegraph

My teenage daughter just got a worried message from a friend that they heard she was a “zionist”. People are whispering this about her because she has a yellow ribbon in her bio. She has it there because her family were killed and kidnapped on October 7. It’s insane what’s happening to our kids. She replied “Yes, of course I’m a Zionist.”

Another doctor in the UK. What is going on?

The regime that hangs gay people and kills women for showing their hair are BIG fans of the progressive students. Congrats kids.

This is Israeli Bedouins celebrating rescued hostage Farhan Al Qadi homecoming. Because Israel is home. To all those throwing around ‘apartheid’ and ‘white supremacy’ watch and learn. This is Israel.

Half of the hostages thought to be alive and returning today were kidnapped from a peace music festival. Never forget that.

Yesterday a nasty pro-Pal went to a Jewish part of London and tore down hostage posters. Today the ENTIRE wall is covered in them. My husband’s cousin is on that wall. Tears of sadness and gratitude.

A reminder that South African officials met with Hamas as part of a solidarity event in DECEMBER. Hamas were also invited to lay flowers at Nelson Mandela’s grave. Two months AFTER the terrorists butchered their way through Israel. South Africa has *zero* moral high ground. Zero.

The media hardly covered hostage Yair Yaakov’s body being brought home from Gaza. Hamas had made this video of kidnapping him and his partner Meirav. They invaded their home, bombed the saferoom and dragged them out. This isn’t Israeli propaganda. It’s what Hamas were proud of.

The pro-Pals interrupted my shopping in Brighton with their hate and then harassed me when I filmed them. One woman followed me around shoving her keffiyeh in my face then complained to the police that I was sneaky: “She’s like all the Jews.” Nasty, horrible antisemites.

Sinwar hid in a tunnel using two female hostages and four male hostages as human shields. They were starved almost to death while he used their emaciated bodies as protection. He ran when the IDF closed in and ordered them executed. He was a cowardly murderer.

Yellow ribbons for the hostages in Gaza appeared overnight on campuses across the UK. Given how universities have been sowing seeds of extremism, this is a beautiful sight. Well done 🙌🎗️
