"Blotting out the memory of Amalek is our job," said bereaved father Nissim Louk.
(March 7, 2025 / JNS) Nissim Louk, whose daughter Shani was murdered by Hamas terrorists during the Oct. 7, 2023, Supernova music festival massacre, urged the Israeli army on Friday to make sure that “no Arab remains in Gaza.
“Since the war, Hamas has only become stronger, more powerful, and has become extremely wealthy,” the bereaved father said in an interview with Channel 14 News. “Hamas will never be ready to give up this rule—not just today, never,” he added.
Louk noted that this Saturday marks Shabbat Zachor, the “Sabbath of Remembering,” which precedes Purim. The traditional Torah reading includes Deuteronomy 25:17-19, while the traditional haftarah recalls God’s command to King Saul to finally annihilate Amalek (I Samuel 15).
