Natalie Sanandaji, 28, was at the outdoor concert and had been camping with friends on October 7th when Hamas rockets started to fly.
But then more and more Hamas rockets came until everyone realized this was different.Then she and her friends hit a roadblock by Israeli soldiers screaming to run for it."There were countless moments where we almost hid in a ditch with other children, but then we decided that was a bad idea and that if the terrorists found us in the ditch, we would be done. We would have nowhere to run.
She went on to say that hours later she and her friends were still hiding by a road when a man in a white pickup truck drove up. Was he a terrorist or would he help them? Turned out he was an Israeli man from a nearby town who risked his life on many trips getting young concertgoers to safety. That is how ultimately they made it to a safe place. She is heartbroken to see antisemitism in New York, she says.
