The left takes ownership of bereavement and silences the voices it does not want to hear

Three years after October 7, the article claims that the left demands ownership of bereavement and national memory, while excluding right-wing families, Netanyahu supporters, and hostage survivors. The author, Rami Piro, cites the claim of hostage survivor Rom Breslavsky that his requests to speak at the ceremony were rejected, and defines the ceremony as political. The article calls for more diverse representation on memorial platforms.

Three years after the October 7 massacre, the article claims that the Israeli left demands ownership of bereavement and national memory while systematically excluding voices that are inconvenient for it. The author, Rami Piro, a legal expert and founder of the 'Strategy Group', cites the claim of hostage survivor Rom Breslavsky that his requests to speak at the memorial ceremony and commemorate his friends from the Nova security team were repeatedly rejected. Breslavsky defines the ceremony as political. The article criticizes the organizers who explain time constraints, but claims that the explanation does not answer the question of how representation is ensured for people who think differently. Piro asserts that the left has no ownership of morality, heroism, or bereavement, and warns against turning the disaster into a one-sided political campaign ahead of elections. The article concludes with a call to stop using the word 'national' to grant one camp the authority to speak on behalf of an entire nation.
