Saluting Elon Musk's actions for Israel - comment

Speaking at the President’s Residence, Musk shared that it had been an emotionally difficult day for him to see where people were murdered in cold blood on the kibbutz and watch a video of the murderers rejoicing afterwards.

“Celebrating the murder of innocent people is extremely disturbing,” he said. “So we have to do whatever is necessary to stop the hate. Essentially, these people have been fed propaganda since they were children. And it’s remarkable what humans are capable of if they’re fed falsehoods from when they are children; they will think that the murder of innocent people is a good thing. That is how much propaganda can affect people’s minds.”

Noting that he had discussed the future of the Gaza Strip in depth with Netanyahu, Musk said: “I think there are three things that need to happen in the Gaza situation. There’s no choice but to kill those who insist on murdering civilians. You are not going to change their minds. The second thing is to change their education so the new generation is not trained to be murderers. And the third thing, which is also very important, is to try to build prosperity [in Gaza].”

Rachel Goldberg, the mother of 23-year-old American-Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, told Musk, “We know there are innocent civilians in Gaza who are also suffering terribly. We as families are suffering horribly, and we would appreciate any help you can provide, and thank you for coming.”

Malki, the father of hostage Omer Shem-Tov, 21, presented Musk with a necklace bearing the words “Bring Them Home,” saying, “I know you’re a very powerful man. And I think... you can [help] raise our voices to bring the hostages back. That will be something very, very meaningful for all the families.”

Following his tour of Kibbutz Kfar Aza, Musk tweeted: “Actions speak louder than words.”  We appreciate his actions for Israel.
