Vivian Silver, 74, an Arabic-speaker, life-long hands-on advocate for peace, Palestinian rights, and women’s rights, presumed kidnapped by Hamas in the October 7 massacre, today was declared dead, on the basis of forensic examination of previously unidentified remains at Kibbutz Be'eri, where her house had been gutted and burned to the ground. At least 120 other men, women and children were killed in the community of about 1,100 people near the Israel-Gaza border. As DrLou posted on October 17, Hamas' First Targets for its 10/7 Savagery were the most pro-Palestinian Rights 'Peace' Kibbutzim. Hamas Slaughters the Israeli Peace Movement ...Vivian Silver… was, and is, Hamas’s worst nightmare, a person who believed that Jews and Arabs… could—no, had to—coexist on a small patch of land common to both tribes’ ancestors. זיכרונה לברכהMay remembrance of the names and lives of those gone before us be a light to guide us ahead.
