Arnold Schwarzenegger speaks out against Hamas’ barbaric, unprovoked attack on Israel… meeting with survivors and their families.
The former governor of California became emotional as he condemned the massacre of innocent civilians on October 7. He said this is unlike anything he has ever seen and offered his support for Israel.
Arnold met with relatives of Israeli hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza. He presented them with bronze statues of eagles.
After the meeting, Arnold told us that he wants to spread peace… because it is more powerful than hate and anger.
14 years old Ella Shani was one of the survivors who traveled from Israel to Santa Monica to meet Arnold… she told how her father was murdered on October 7 by Hamas terrorists at kibbutz Beeri, and how her 16-year-old cousin Amit Shani was kidnapped.
Ella says her cousin was hiding in a safe room in his home when Hamas set the house on fire and broke down the door. She says Amit and two other Israeli men were put into a car from a neighboring house, kidnapped and taken to Gaza.
As Ella spoke for about 30 minutes, Arnold burst into tears… and they eventually hugged. He also showed her some of his cool movie memorabilia, like a robot head from “Terminator.”
The meeting was organized by the Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem. Arnold has been working with the museum for years.
