Israel advocates unveiled an art exhibit near the Democratic National Convention Tuesday to honor the victims who remain in Hamas captivity in the Gaza Strip.
As anti-Israel agitators stage demonstrations near the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week, advocates of Israel have created a unique art exhibit to honor the victims of Hamas’ brutal Oct. 7 attack on Israel. The art exhibit, dubbed 'Hostage Square Chicago,' aims to remind the world of the hostages who were taken Oct. 7 and remain captive in the Gaza Strip.
Peretz, who was in Israel the day of the attack, said he wanted to 'stab people with a knife of emotion' with his art. Another artist named Neil Salti, who lost more than 20 friends at the Nova Music Festival massacre on Oct. 7, created a rendering of an Israeli tree, raining drops of blood. 'After the festival I had a strong urge to go to the site to see what happened to my friends,' Salti said. 'I traveled by myself there, and it was so quiet and so peaceful.
Tuesday’s exhibit comes as Israel’s military said earlier that it had recovered the bodies of six hostages taken in the attack.
