Survivor Karina Engel speaks out, and Jerry Seinfeld gives his backing to IDF
During the ceremony, which was hosted by MDA volunteer Miri Bohadana, prayers for the fallen were read by the fathers of Shir Biton and Yarin Marie Peled, MDA volunteers who fell in battle with the terrorists. Afterward, Karina Engel, who was kidnapped from her home along with her daughters during that dark Saturday, shared her kidnapping story. Engel recounted to the audience present at the ceremony about Ronen "Tommy" Engel her husband, who left their home that morning to assist the injured as an MDA responder, fought against terrorists in their yard, was murdered, and whose body was taken to Gaza. Karina and Ronen's daughters, who were released with her, were also present in the audience.Next, comedian Jerry Seinfeld's given his support to the IDF while attending a sport game in NYC:
Karina Engel stated, “That morning, the red alert sounded different, with an incessant noise. We locked ourselves in the safe room, and Ronen called his supervisor at MDA to ask where to go. Ronen prepared himself, got his gun, his MDA bag, and we began receiving messages that the terrorists were already in the kibbutz. He asked me to go into the safe room and close the door – and that was the last time I saw him.”
Global President of MDA, Gilad Erdan, said, “It’s important to understand that today, the main threat from our enemies is not just to the IDF. Our enemies – Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad – do not genuinely believe they can defeat the IDF on the battlefield. Their plan is to attack us where they think we are weak, in the civilian rear echelon. The main threat to the future of the State of Israel is attacks on civilian communities. Therefore, strengthening first responders, and foremost Magen David Adom, is our primary and most important mission to ensure the existence of the State of Israel.”
Actor and comedian Jerry Seinfeld expressed his support for the IDF while in attendance at a New York Mets game at Citi Field this week.Again, it's good Seinfeld understands all this.
A video posted to social media site X shows a fan behind the camera saying that his brother was watching from the Gaza border, and the video would be for him.
Seinfeld then responds with a smile, saying, "Let's go, Mets! Let's go, IDF!"
[...] Since the start of the war in Gaza, Seinfeld has continuously shown his support for Israel.
