Rachel Moshe, the mother of Oz Ezra Moshe, who was murdered in the Nova massacre, showed the members of the Knesset's Constitution Committee and the committee's chairman, MK Yitzhak Kreuzer, the murder of her son.
"My son was murdered in Nova," she said. "No one sees us in anything. Where are we here in the picture? What are we transparent? Not treatments for siblings, not for children, not for us. We live as dead. Since October 7, we haven't worked, we've been moving from place to place. The united family that was destroyed."
She turned to Acting Speaker Yitzhak Kreuzer: "Look at the picture of my son, look at what was done to him, look at his neck, his hand. Look what I got, how can you live like this. We never mention the families of the murdered, we don't live. No one approached us and there was no support. Don't abandon us, we're not second-class. How is it possible? I want it to be in the media. I want the picture of my son and his partner to be in front of you."
She added: "If there was a Knesset member whose son was like this, they wouldn't behave like this. How can we live like this, we want someone to say something about us. They blew him up, broke his teeth. Look at what they did to my child, they pierced him all over his body, both of them. Why isn't anyone looking at us?"
Acting Chairman Kreuzer hugged Rachel and said, "We are here for you." After feeling unwell, he escorted her out of the courtroom, and then the two returned to the hearing.
The discussion took place as part of a series of discussions initiated by Knesset members Vladimir Beliak, Yitzhak Kreuzer and Yinon Azoulay, which dealt with the rights and legal status of the abductees, returnees and their families.
So far, the discussions have dealt with accompanying the establishment of the Civil Administration, and on issues that have already been implemented, such as the allowance for wages for abductees while they are in captivity, and amendments to the Prisoners of Prisoner Law that were recently enacted. The committee's most recent discussion focused on the unique needs of the victims of the massacre.
