*Tomorrow evening marks the start of Yom Kippur - The Day of Atonement & Forgiveness. In honour of that, we want to share with you something powerful on the theme of forgiveness.*

_'You are able to forgive the people who did this to you, to your family, to your neighbors?'. 'I had nothing left in Europe, and today Germany is one of the countries that is most supportive of us. They were very cruel. They killed more of my family than Hamas. I have no choice. The reality is such that we must reach an agreement. We have to find a way to live together'._

*85 years old Yocheved Lifsh*tz, one of the first hostages to be released after being kidnapped on October 7, speaks to Israeli Channel 12 about forgiveness and the necessity of finding a path to peace and co-existence (quote from 13:11)*

Q: For years, you and Oded [Yocheved’s husband still in captivity] were people of peace. You volunteered driving Palestinian patients from Gaza to hospitals in Israel. You believed in co-existence. Did anything change in your perspective after October 7?

*Yocheved: No. We have no choice. We have to find a solution. We must reach a political agreement.*

Q: With whom? With the people who kidnapped you? With the people who burned down Nir Oz?

Yocheved: How did the world forgive Germany?

Q: You are able to forgive the people who did this to you, to your family, to your neighbors?

Yocheved: I had nothing left in Europe, and today Germany is one of the countries that is most supportive of us. They were very cruel. They killed more of my family than the Hamas. I have no choice. The reality is such that we have to find an agreement. We have to find a way to live together.

HIV stigma. Stigma is still the reason that guy I asked to go home with me didn't. Stigma is still the reason I didn't keep the job. Stigma is the reason some people don't take their HIV medication or PrEP because they're too embarrassed to go to a pharmacy or a doctor and discuss it. Stigma is the irrational fear that people have while talking about s*x, or safe s*x, or reproductive desires, and rights, abortion. Stigma is a single mother, stigma is a person coming out of the closet, stigma is gay, stigma is le***an, stigma is bis*xual, stigma is transgendered, stigma is color, stigma is race, stigma is taboo, stigma is embarrassing. Stigma is coming out of the closet to your parents and wondering if they will reject you or continue to pay for your college tuition. Stigma is still the reason I didn't have good relationships with my sister and her husband because he was afraid that his kids would get HIV from playing with me and she didn't have the brains to correct him. Stigma is still the reason for the work that I do and my reason to get out of bed in the morning to make the world better. Stigma is still the reason we get kicked out of our families. Stigma is still the reason for the emotional and fiscal poverty that we experience, because we are trying to do the right thing by being honest about ourselves and our statuses and the rights of others to live and be the s*xual beings that they are. Stigma is still the reason that life is not as easy as it should be. Stigma is the barrier between us as conversationalists and human beings. Stigma is the fear of the unknown, stigma creates silence through the pain and pain through the silence. Stigma causes su***de, stigma hurts, and stigma kills. On this world AIDS day, do what you can to reduce or eliminate stigma, because one day it could happen to you. To everyone who is maintaining their own personal positivity in spite of an HIV diagnosis. Be the one who kills stigma instead of letting stigma kill you! ❤
