Survivor of Hamas' Barbaric Oct. 7 Attack Has a New Life Mission

On Oct. 7, Adele Raemer survived the Hamas attacks in her kibbutz Nirim on the border with Gaza only to find herself and her extended family displaced, refugees of a kind in their own country. She's now advocating for the release of the hostages still being held captive in Gaza, several of whom she knew personally including Nadav Popplewell and Yagev Buchshtav.

Born in the U.S., Raemer arrived in Israel in 1973, served with the Israeli Defense Forces and then began teaching school children at Nirim in 1975. She continued her classroom career there for almost 40 years while raising her children and then enjoying her grandchildren.

Adele was a giant of a teacher - everyone in the English teaching world in israel knows her - and here, she shows herself to be a giant of a human being.

Finally someone not afraid to say whats really going on. They do want Sharia Law in the west...period

I believe this woman is right when she says America is next! Not to incite or bring fear, it is true though.

Prayers for peace and for the innocent on both sides.

[suejackson]

Adele, Thank you for sharing your experiences and your thoughts on the ongoing conflict. How tragic that you believed in the innocence of the majority but now realize that there were very few innocent Gazans. Unfortunately this betrayal is soul destroying and yet you speak in a gentle way, your soul remains intact. Your statement that Terror will not ruin your life is a call to life. May you rebuild in love, peace, safety and strength.

I was in tears when listening to this lady! People don’t know history and don’t set their foot on the outside of their own country, really don’t have any ideas about Middle Eastern culture
