Three years after her sister, Mifal Adam, was murdered at the Nova music festival on October 7, Maayan Adam has publicly reiterated her demand for an investigation and accountability. In a personal message posted to Instagram on the third anniversary of the massacre, Adam explicitly connected this demand to electoral choices, stating that while sympathy is appreciated, it does not bring justice.
"Participating in true sorrow means participating in what is most sorrowful: three years without an investigation, without culprits," Adam wrote. "Our girl died and the government just wants to move on." She criticized the government, asserting it disrespects the victims, reservists, and fallen soldiers. Adam declared that if the current government is re-elected, it would signal that Israel views the events of October 7 as having happened for the best.
Adam directly addressed undecided voters, urging them to reconsider their choice. She warned that voting for the incumbent government would prevent an investigation and leave her mother devastated, effectively telling her sister Mifal that she could "turn over in her grave." While emphasizing the voter's right to choose, Adam pleaded for further consideration, "If not for me, then for her."
Adam has previously called for a state commission of inquiry. On this third anniversary of Mifal's murder, she is channeling that demand towards the ballot box, linking the pursuit of justice for the victims to the upcoming elections.
