‘Peace and love are more powerful than terror,’ say friends of 23-year-old Dorin Atias
The friends of a 23-year-old killed in a kibbutz after seeking refuge from the massacre at a music festival last Saturday plan to rebuild the settlement as a sign that “peace and love are more powerful than terror”.
When the rockets started flying overhead at about 6am, she reacted immediately, sensing something was not right. She grabbed two friends, dashed to her car and drove to a nearby kibbutz in Re’im where they knew they could find shelter or a bunker. “About 10.20am her friend Eden called her sister and the last thing she heard was her saying to her sister, ‘Shani, they got me’. We still don’t know what has happened to her. She is still missing. And we pray for some information,” she said.
Their friends hope Eden is still alive but have had no word. In their town outside Tel Aviv they have been mourning as a community, with more than 1,000 at Atias’s funeral.She said Atias was the light of her family and friends’ lives and her death had “emptied so many hearts”.goes to war, it teaches you something: you have to move on, you have to keep alive for everyone who has died.
