A bit about my relative Omer Neutra, written by my cousin Ohad. Sharing here on Mastodon, where dehumanization of all Israelis is common. Omer was in a defense position, not attack. And he died protecting us all, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Bedouin, Druze and many more. Please keep your opinions whatever they may be about the conflict separate as I grieve the death of a member of my family and suffer from severe PTSD. I'm only sharing this to tell about the passing of an Israeli American hostage whom I am related to. A sweet and kind soul, Omer Neutra RIP.

This post was written on Oct 12th 2023. We only found out today that Omer is no longer living, his body is still held by #Hamas

My cousin, Omer Nautra, is being held captive by Hamas in Gaza. Omer was born and raised in New York, and despite the distance and all the years that we met once or twice a year has always been one of my favorite people in the world, and I'm sure everyone who knows him will tell you the same. Omer is one of the charismatic, friendly and fun people there is. Funny, fiercely competitive, and passionate about what he does in a contagious way. In every little thing he does he always wants to be the best, in every sport (and he's not a sucker at any sport) he's always the one you want on your side. When he came to Israel for prep we were happy that we got a new "little brother", when he decided to stay and enlist we laughed at him that he's a sucker, but he said that if he is going to stay in Israel he wants to stay as Israeli, and not as an American, and to serve is part of the deal. That's how it is with people that do everything 100%. And this is how he found himself on the Gaza border on Saturday morning, doing his part in the Israeli deal, when Hamas terrorists kidnapped him. I hope that soon Omer will be back with the rest of the POWs, and we can play football, or ping pong, or argue if the Giants are any worse than the Jets this year, whatever it is I'm sure he won't let me win. #BringOmerHome Rate this translation
