Omer Adam Reflects on October 7th Trauma and Changed Reality

Israeli singer Omer Adam shared his feelings about the October 7th massacre on the third anniversary of the event. In a special post on his social media, Adam addressed the memories and the new reality the country faces. "I went into my phone's library to look at some photos and videos from three years ago. Our reality has changed," Adam wrote. He described the scale of the disaster and the difficulty in comprehending the atrocities, stating, "Our people, our brothers, our families, our country experienced the most terrible disaster since its establishment." Adam elaborated on the personal impact, explaining how it feels when people are taken from their homes or from a party, or from the street during a firefight, and dragged into Hamas tunnels where the desire is to destroy them. He chose to accompany his post with a moving video of himself singing with soldiers, rather than graphic images from the massacre. "I found this video and preferred to use it today, not the horrific pictures that almost everyone has on their phone from those days, and to truly salute our heroic soldiers, our people who always know how to get back on their feet and always be there for each other, even if sometimes it doesn't seem that way." Adam concluded by expressing condolences to the families of those lost and offering a message of unity. He also sent strength to those who returned from captivity and wished for only good news moving forward, ending with the declaration, "We will not forget and will not forgive - the people of Israel live."
