Israeli student
My whole family is fighting. My brother is on the northern border right now. My father, he’s almost 60 years old, he’s out volunteering for the border control. All my family right now is in a bomb shelter.
Last week, the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched an attack on Israel, setting off a war. With the conflict now entering its sixth day and casualties rising, Israelis abroad are banding together.
Dana
Israeli student
We know a few people that already came back. We want to come back, but there are no available flights right now. Right now all my friends are recruited, also my boyfriend. As soon as they say he has to come, we will leave everything, and we will be there for our country.
They laid flowers on a memorial to mourn the victims back home. Several Taiwanese took part in the event.

This is not about taking sides and inciting hatred and confrontation. I hope that their hearts can find comfort. Almost every family has relatives involved.
Over at the Kaohsiung Film Festival, the Israeli director of “Love Has Nothing to Do with It” told journalists that two members of his film crew had been reported dead back home.
Yotam Knispel
Israeli filmmaker
I’m here, as you probably heard during the war, that is currently happening in my country. And when I landed here I learned that -- at first it was one crew member who worked on this firm was murdered during the terrorist attacks. Two days later I learned that another one was also killed. So I’m here to talk about the situation currently happening in my country. Something after Oct. 7 changed the perception. How fragile everything is. You know, coming from Israel for example, we never ever thought we would be slaughtered and be captivated, beheaded sometimes. That’s something that recently was talked about.
The director shared the devastating news. He expressed his hopes for peace and a swift end to the war.

2023-10-12
以色列和巴勒斯坦伊斯蘭激進組織"哈瑪斯"爆發衝突，雙方交戰邁入第6天，前線死傷嚴重。人在台灣的以色列籍學生，為了盡一己之力，中午在台灣大學舉辦集會，聲援家鄉，現場聚集超過30名以色列人，舉國旗、唱國歌，也一一獻花，向罹難者致上哀悼之意。
揮舞大衛星國旗，唱著國歌，人在台灣的以色列籍學生，齊聚台大，為家鄉聲援。

“我全部的家人都在戰鬥，我的弟弟正在北邊邊境，我父親快要六十歲，他正在志願參與邊境管制，我的家人現在都在防空洞。”
以色列遭到巴勒斯坦激進組織哈瑪斯，突襲攻擊，雙方激戰邁入第6天，死傷持續攀升，海內外以色列人團結一致。

“我們知道有幾個人已經回以色列了，我們想要回去，但目前沒有航班。目前我所有的朋友都被招募了，我男朋友也被招募了，一旦國家說他必須回去，為我們的國家，我們會拋棄一切回去。”
一一獻上鮮花，哀悼戰爭中罹難和死傷者，也有不少台灣人來響應聲援。

“這個不是為了要選哪一邊站，然後要激起任何的仇恨和對立，希望他們的心能夠得到安慰，幾乎每一個家庭，他們都有親人在這當中。”
另外，一名來自以色列的導演，在高雄電影節帶來作品「與愛無關」，他提到，自己的兩位電影組員，在他來台灣宣傳期間，傳來不幸罹難的消息。

“在抵達台灣之後，我得知在以色列的戰爭，有一位電影組員不幸罹難，在兩天之後，又有一位組員去世。我來這邊，就是來分享我家鄉的情況。10/7以後，有些事情改變了，一切都是這麼的脆弱，你知道，從來沒有想過我們會被屠殺、會被擄走，這些都是最近常常講到的。”
生命的脆弱，在戰爭中一覽無遺，他們都期望烽火有停歇的一天，世界能夠早日恢復和平。
