When I read Greta Thunberg's claim that she'd been 'kidnapped' by the Israeli military while trying to deliver aid to Gaza, I did a double-take.

Kidnapped? Really? That word carries weight among Israelis.

Greta wasn't hunted down, dragged screaming into cars, assaulted or killed, but I nearly was.

My brother and I are survivors of the Nova Music Festival massacre on October 7, 2023.

We were there to enjoy music and dance, when the day suddenly devolved into a nightmare as Hamas murderers and actual kidnappers descended on the concert grounds.
