Israel/Gaza: Forgotten festival families organise to demand investigation into deaths
Families of the Israelis who died at the Nova Music Festival on October 7 have formed an organisation to demand an official state ‘Commission of Inquiry’ into what happened.
This Writer’s big question is: why has this hardly been reported?
Here’s a post on ‘X’ that I happened to find by luck:

And here‘s a partial translation of an article on Israeli media:
The families of those killed in the “Nova” and “Psydak” nature parties gathered yesterday (Monday) for the first time to establish a headquarters that will be called “The Flowers of the Parties”.
The families explained that the background for establishing the headquarters is the state’s ignoring them and seeing them as “transparent”.
Erez Sarfati, the father of the late Ron Sarfati, who was murdered at the Nova party, told the participants: “On the seventh of October, over 350 party goers who went to celebrate life were murdered, since then no official has contacted us.
“It is clear to us that the country is in an ongoing war, we are clear that the abductees need to be taken care of and everyone returned now, but we are not ready to be transparent in the eyes of the state’s captains.
“We all watch every night and are shocked by the headlines of the leaders, what kind of victory is this? We all lost and no one looks us in the eye and apologizes for this abominable failure.
“We will not allow the continuation of the cover-up of what happened to our dear ones.”
The implication is that Israeli military personnel did indeed fire at festival attendees, and did indeed kill some of them – a claim that has been hotly contested by the Israeli government and its military ever since.
I wonder whether the international media are ignoring this story in the hope that it will go away.
Then they’ll be able to carry on spouting the official line from liars like Eylon Levy.
