Jessica Seinfeld, wife of comedian Jerry Seinfeld, shared her thoughts and experiences after visiting Israel and seeing the scenes of October 7th and the situation in the wake of the ongoing war. Seinfeld commented that despite the significant political divisions that still exist in Israel, she had “never seen a more unified country.”
“We just got home from Israel,” Seinfeld wrote on her Instagram page. “We wanted to see for ourselves the impacts of the October 7th attacks. We saw homes where families were tortured, shot, bombed, and burned alive. We stood in a field where kids at a music festival were murdered and kidnapped by the hundreds as they fled.
“As painful as it was to be in those places, however, what I will remember the most is the people we met in Israel. Heroes who rescued and saved thousands of lives. Young people from New York who came to work on farms to replace those who had gone to fight against Hamas. Former hostages and families of those still being held who have been through trauma but are still seeking to help. Extraordinary individuals who have come together to provide emergency assistance through citizen service.
“This was my fifth visit to Israel, and I have never seen a more unified country. Among people of all walks of life, from wounded soldiers to families of peace activists whose mothers, fathers, or siblings were murdered or are still held captive in Gaza, the horror of October 7th has erased divisions within Israel. Everyone has come together for a greater cause – to defeat Hamas, to build a better and safer Israel, and a better, safer world.”
