‘Bring them home’: International campaign organized in Houston as loved ones of Israeli hostages speak out

That campaign is called “Bring Them Home.” Fliers and red balloons were seen throughout the city both representing the same thing: a nationwide initiative to bring Israeli hostages back to their families.“12 years old, right? Young kids. It’s just shocking what they’ve done,” said Ron Biran, an activist.

Hagai Assulin, whose cousin is a hostage spoke to KPRC 2′s Deven Clarke and told him that it was “a lot of shock.” “It’s people that I know over 30 years, that I grew up with used to play soccer in the neighborhood,” he said. “She was taken from the party she reported to her parents that there were rockets about them. When she called her parents she said they were getting shot at and ever since they lost connection with her.”“The government called my family, and told them that they knew she was in Gaza and wounded,” he said.

This and many other stories motivated Revital Pour, an activist who works with the “Bring Them Home” campaign. “We created the hashtag #SayNoToTerror which I believe everyone can agree. We don’t want terror around us,” he said. “Today it’s in our house but it’s closer than you think, tomorrow it’ll be in your house and if we will not fight it, we will be in this situation.”Copyright 2023 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.
