Israel’s Netanyahu shows Elon Musk the horrors of the Oct. 7 massacre at Kfar Aza kibbutz after billionaire landed in Tel Aviv amid accusations his social media platform X is amplifying anti-Semitic hatred

Elon Musk walked with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu through the kibbutz of Kfar Aza, where 62 people were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists on October 7.

In a video released by the Israeli government, Musk is shown listening solemnly as a member of the IDF explains how the terror unfolded on that fateful day. The South African remains silent, stopping only to take photos of the devastated community.

Kfar Aza was among about 20 kibbutz looted and attacked by Hamas. Among the homes Musk visited was that of the community’s security head, Ofir Libstein, who died while trying to fend off Hamas terrorists.

In another poignant moment, the Tesla founder was shown a baby crib containing now-dispelled terrorist gunfire.

Musk also heard about four-year-old Abigail Mor Edan, the Israeli-American who was just released yesterday after spending six weeks in captivity after her parents were massacred by gunmen.

After the tour, Musk will go to the seat of Israel’s government, the Knesset, for a conversation that will be streamed live. An hour before Musk was shown at the kibbutz, he tweeted: “Actions speak louder than words.”

In another poignant moment, the Tesla founder was shown a baby’s crib that now contains the rifle grenades from that fateful day.

“Netanyahu showed Musk the horrors of the kibbutz massacre starting from the events of Saturday, October 7,” read a statement from the prime minister’s office.

“Musk heard the story of the heroism of the late Ofir Liebstein, the head of the regional council who was assassinated on the morning of October 7 during a shootout with terrorists who infiltrated the kibbutz,” the release said.

Since the barbaric attack by Hamas Musk has been confronted waves of criticism for ignoring the anti-Semitism against X, formerly known as Tweet. That criticism has led to a reported loss in advertising revenue.

Netanyahu last met Musk in California on September 18 and urged him to strike a balance between protecting free speech and combating hate speech after weeks of controversy over anti-Semitic content on X.

Musk responded by saying he opposed anti-Semitism and anything that “promotes hatred and conflict,” repeating his previous statements that X would not promote hate speech.

Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia have increased in the United States and worldwide, including during the now seven-week war between Israel and the Islamist Palestinian faction Hamas.

Earlier this month, Musk was accused of promoting anti-Semitism again after responding to a man who posted a screed on X criticizing a campaign video from the Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism.

The video shows a father talking to his son about the online hate the son has expressed and calling him out for his rhetoric.

Earlier this month, Musk was roundly criticized for his response to this post on X

“I’m not at all interested in saying even the slightest bit about the fact that the Western Jewish population is coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities who support the flooding of their land don’t particularly like them.

“You want the truth told to your face, there it is.”

Musk, who has 163 million followers, responded: “You said the actual truth.”

The father of 11 has a long history of playing with dog-whistle rhetoric about Jewish people, especially George Soros, who angered him in May by selling his Tesla shares.

On Sunday, Abigail Mor Edan’s grandfather, Carmel, said that even though he is filled with joy that his granddaughter is now on her way home, he knows that “there are a lot of people who haven’t come back yet.” Abigail was the first American released during the negotiated ceasefire between Palestine and Israel.

“I really want them to be returned and for the IDF to finish what it promised: all the hostages (back) and Hamas (destroyed),” he said.

The grandfather is not yet allowed to speak to or meet Abigail, but plans to smother her with kisses when they are reunited.

“There’s nothing to say,” he added.

Edan was one of 17 hostages released on Sunday, 49 days after war broke out and militants stormed her kibbutz in southern Israel.

Fighters shot her parents, Roy Edan, 43, and Smadar Edan, 40, during the attack.

The girl’s siblings, aged ten and six, survived after hiding in the family home for hours. Carmel Edan said he has not yet told them about their younger sister’s release.

Abigail, who celebrated her fourth birthday in captivity, is now in the care of Red Cross officials. President Joe Biden said after her release that what the young person endured was “unthinkable” and that she suffered “terrible trauma.”

“I wish I was there to hold her,” Biden said. “Today she is free, and Jilly and I, along with so many Americans, are praying that she is doing well.”

The grandfather thanked Biden and said: “We love him very much for all the help he gives us to Israel. Keep going. Keep going. We don’t admire you. We love you.’

The terror group has been holding prisoners since the Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel, which killed more than 1,200 Israelis. More than 13,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli counter-offensive.

State Department officials have not yet released the names of the other American hostages. A total of ten Americans are currently missing.

Of the seventeen hostages released on Sunday, fourteen were Israelis, while three were foreign nationals.

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on ABC’s ‘This Week’ that two women, a child and seven men were confirmed to have been taken by Hamas.

“All of these hostages have been through a terrible ordeal, and this is the beginning of a long journey of healing for them,” Biden said in a speech from Nantucket, Massachusetts, where he was celebrating Thanksgiving.

Earlier that day, the president was briefed several times by his national security team on the latest developments regarding the release of hostages from Gaza.

“This morning I engaged with my team as we began the first difficult days of implementing this deal,” Biden said. “It’s just a start, but so far so good.”

He noted that the first group of hostages included “an elderly woman, a grandmother and mothers with their young children, some under the age of six.”

The sides are currently in a ceasefire with Israel recovering some of the 240 people Hamas took hostage in a cross-border killing spree on October 7. In return, Israel has released a number of Palestinians imprisoned for security reasons.
