What I've Learnt - Nimrod Palmach

WHAT I'VE LEARNT

A father of two small Nimrod children aged 4 and 7, Nimrod lives in Israel he is a Major reservist in the IDF. On 7 October at approximately 6am he received a phone call from his Commander to immediately drive to Jerusalem and collect his uniform and weapons, as they had heard murmurs that something was happening but unsure what exactly. Unaware of the gravity of what was unfolding during the 30 minute drive, Nimrod kept receiving messages that something was happening in the South. He demanded to his Commander that instead of going to Jerusalem he would divert to the South towards the Gaza border and see what he could do to help. Against his Commander’s demands, he drove south – armed only with a small pistol, to volunteer to see what he could do to help.

It was during this hour drive that along the highway towards the Gaza border he saw the takeover that Hamas had created, and saw a dead Israeli soldier on the road, so he took his machine gun and kept on travelling – all against his Commander’s orders, now he thought that it could be a fair fight, and he was willing to take on the terrorists.

As he headed towards the Kibbutz he knew that his life was in danger and this could result in his own death. He stopped driving, pulled over to stand under a tree, took out his phone and recorded a short video to send to his kids to say goodbye. When he finished he continued along the road he witnessed hundreds of dead bodies splayed all over the road, some were slaughtered, mutilated, raped, some where children, women and innocent civilians, together with other Soldiers they engaged in a battle with 30 Hamas terrorists who were on their way to enter Kibbutz Alumim and on the bodies of the terrorists they found very clear instructions as to what to do in the civilians in the Kibbutz which included murder, rape, behead, kidnap men, women and children. By taking on these terrorists, Nimrod predicts that a further approximately 500 lives were saved.

While he walked through the Kibbutz to help save the families who had been hiding in their safe room for over 18 hours, he witnessed and filmed what he can only describe as reminiscent of the vision from the Holocaust.

He has shared his story internationally here are some clips. Here are some examples:

1. Fox News, 2. ABC News UK, 3. CBN News, 4. Sky News, 5. The Australian, 6. The Jerusalem Post

Here is some of the footage he shot on October 7 – including the video he took to say goodbye to his kids before he went into combat.

Nimrod has spent the last two months in battle, but his Commander insisted he takes 2 weeks of rest before he goes back into combat next week, but he insisted on travelling the world to tell his story and to help fight anti-Semitism. He has just returned from Berlin, London, Sydney and Melbourne where he addressed over 1500 people including government officials. Now's he's back, ready to go back into combat, and would like to share his story with you and your audience.

Nimrod can share what he is doing as part of his NGO that he started called ISRAEL-is – a social and educational program to stop anti-Semitism globally and educate the world about Israel. He is launching a new program that is interactive called Be The Witness, a VR program allowin
