Residents of Kibbutz Be'eri, a community on the Israeli border that was heavily impacted by a brutal attack carried out by Hamas on October 7, have expressed their outrage at uninvited visits by government ministers and Knesset members from the ruling coalition. Despite being informed that their presence was unwelcome, these officials have persisted in visiting the kibbutz and the Dead Sea hotel where survivors of the attack are being accommodated.
The attack on Kibbutz Be'eri resulted in the tragic loss of at least 112 lives, leaving the community devastated. Survivors have been receiving support and assistance following this horrific event, but the uninvited visits by government representatives have only added to their distress.
"They know we don't want them to come, and yet they come," stated one resident of Kibbutz Be'eri, reflecting the sentiments shared by many others. The survivors have made it clear that they desire privacy and time to heal, and the unexpected visits have hindered this process.
The government officials involved in these uninvited visits have not provided an explanation for their actions, despite being aware of the survivors' wishes. The residents of Kibbutz Be'eri are calling for respect and understanding during this difficult time, emphasizing that their right to grieve and recover in peace should be honored.
As the community copes with the aftermath of the attack, support from various sources has been crucial. Madonna, the internationally renowned singer, recently spoke out against the Hamas massacre, leading to an upgrade in her security detail. The global community has also expressed solidarity with the survivors of the attack, recognizing the importance of trauma therapy in the healing process.
The Israeli Army remains on standby, awaiting an order to potentially invade Gaza as tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East. However, the focus in Kibbutz Be'eri remains on providing comfort, support, and privacy to the survivors as they rebuild their lives in the aftermath of this tragic event.
The uninvited government visits have shed light on the need for sensitivity and empathy in times of crisis. It is essential for authorities to honor survivors' wishes and provide the necessary support without imposing upon their healing process. As the residents of Kibbutz Be'eri continue to mourn their losses and seek solace, their pleas for privacy and respect should be heard and acknowledged by those in power.
