For Omer Neutra’s parents, 9/11 and Oct. 7 are forever linked

Orna and Ronen Neutra, parents of fallen Israeli-American soldier Capt. Omer Neutra, link the October 7th Hamas attacks to 9/11, stating, "the same hatred, the same glorification of murder, and the same responsibility to stand together against it." Orna was pregnant with Omer during the 9/11 attacks, and Omer was killed by Hamas on October 7, 2023. The Neutras, speaking at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, advocate for the return of hostages and emphasize the humanitarian nature of their cause, thanking both former Presidents Trump and Biden for their efforts. They aim to honor Omer's memory and counter narratives critical of Israel, asserting that claims of genocide are "nothing but baloney" and that it is their responsibility to tell the true story of October 7th. They also call for "moral clarity" to distinguish good from evil and unite in defending freedom.
