They dehumanise the hostages, demonise our community and target any symbols or memorials for their hate.’No matter how many times they try to intimidate us, it will not work. They have destroyed our memorial 20 times, and each time, we build it back again. We will never let the haters win.’Tomorrow marks one year since Hamas fighters crossed into Israel on October 7 and launched attacks which killed 1,195 people, including 815 civilians, and destroyed millions of lives.
