“I survived — I will speak for those who can’t,” Noa Argamani vows after pro-Hamas activists target Jewish fundraising event in Canada.

Former Israeli hostage Noa Argamani spoke out after pro-Hamas activists threatened and harassed attendees of a Jewish fundraiser in Windsor, Canada.

Argamani, who was a featured speaker at the event, pledged that she would continue telling her story despite the attempted intimidation from “terror sympathizers.”

Kidnapped from the Nova music festival alongside her boyfriend Avinatan Or on October 7, 2023, Argamani was rescued in a daring IDF raid after some nine months in Gaza.

Her boyfriend remains in Hamas captivity.

Anti-Israel activists from Windsor University’s Palestinian Solidarity Group surrounded Argamani’s event last Thursday, harassing people attending.

According to local news reports, the demonstrators blocked the sole entry and exit of the space, preventing Argamani from leaving the building once the event had ended.

In a video circulating on social media, an anti-Israel protester can be heard screaming “Hamas is coming!” at attendees.

Despite the antisemitic hostility, Argamani took to social media to declare that she would not be intimidated.

“Hamas came. Hamas kidnapped me. Hamas murdered my friends. But I won; I survived. Now, I speak for those who can’t,” Argamani wrote on her X account.

“I’ll keep exposing Hamas’ crimes and fighting for the hostages’ release — including my partner, Avinatan,” she added.

“I refuse to let terror sympathizers control the narrative.”

Canada’s Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs condemned the harassment in a media statement.

“Blocking a hostage survivor is unconscionable. This is not a protest but intimidation of a vulnerable witness to terror,” the Centre said.

Miriam Kaplan, the event’s organizer, called the demonstration “a disgraceful attempt to intimidate a survivor.”

She urged Windsor University to condemn the actions by its students, saying that they “crossed the line from free speech into aggression.”

Windsor Police confirmed they had received several calls about the protest, but claimed that it was a lawful demonstration and that the authorities are not considering filing criminal charges against participants.
