‘I Felt Hunted’: Israeli Rave Fan Describes Fleeing Massacre
Rolling Stone ^ | October 9, 2023 at 3:42 PM CDT | Nancy Dillon

Posted on 10/13/2023 5:29:39 AM PDT by Red Badger

Amir Ben Natan, 37, is a stock trader from Herzliya who attended the psytrance Universo Paralello rave – titled Supernova Sukkot – near the Gaza Strip on the morning of October 7, 2023. He was separated from his friends as missiles and bullets rained down and hundreds of festivalgoers were murdered or captured by the Islamist militant group Hamas. One of his friends was shot, but survived. Ben Natan hid in the bushes as he heard the voices of Hamas fighters just steps away. Speaking to Rolling Stone, he described running for his life amid the terrifying “total chaos.”

I love this type of music and was excited to see a couple acts in particular: Spectra Sonics, a Japanese producer, and Protonica, a German producer. I was at the party with my friends, dancing, having fun when suddenly we heard an alarm. They stopped the music and said there were rockets from Gaza. They said the party was over and we should go out. We weren’t really panicked at first. Sadly, that is life in Israel in this region.

We went outside where there was a line of cars. We thought it would be safer to wait until the cars moved. We didn’t want to be trapped inside a car where we couldn’t see a rocket coming. We didn’t take it too seriously at first.

On Twitter many Hamas and Palestinian types are denying they killed children or attacked the rave.

Which is EXACTLY what Ben Shapiro predicted they would do on his podcast a few days ago.

He was hunted. No “feels” about it.

Not really something I’d expect Muslim fanatics to approve of.

What does it say of Hamas, when the father of an 8 year old girl, with tears in his eyes say he is thankful his child’s body has been found and she is not a hostage.

Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. These people were having fun. Freedom and vigilance don’t mix.

Think the 4-day work week. Too much freedom those other 3 days. The Good Lord put us on this earth to work 6 of them. I read it somewhere.

Very few people here in the U,S, can't relate to this, but any vet or common criminal CAN.

We have been coddled into inactivity not unlike submission.


. . . . . . . and it's too late to shut down the public schools . . . . the damage has been done.

IMO, and perhaps too few others, we should be prepared, not to protect our families of some enemy coming up the driveway, but for men to leave their home, families and comfort zones to ENGAGE the enemy.

I confess, it's easy for me to publicly talk this way, . . . I'm 75, crippled, have bad eyes and ears and a worthless "warrior", buy if all I have is my mind and my mouth, I believe it to be my duty to use what I have.

I’m sure a lot of them are foreigners, but many must be former IDF. Maybe Israel has gotten soft. This will certainly be a generational wake-up call.

Too bad for them they took videos of them doing it and posted them to the internet for everyone to see.
