Since the terrible war broke out about four months ago on the seventh of October, television and radio people are constantly trying to come up with the right formula between the public atmosphere and the ongoing war that brings with it losses and painful moments, and the various needs, including the need to provide equally important moments of escapism, hope and joy.
One of those who walk among the drops is radio broadcaster
Hadar Marks
, who presents her morning program on Gilgal during the week.
Since the war began, Marks has taken it upon herself to memorialize during the program the many fallen, unfortunately, in the cruel campaign, to remember and remember them through the dedications and messages she receives from family members , friends and acquaintances of the fallen victims. Listeners of the show often heard her break down in tears from the difficult stories, which touched and swept away the hearts of the fans who naturally cannot remain indifferent to those sad moments.
This morning, after another broadcast that ended with a dedication and a particularly sad story that made Marks cry on the broadcast, a listener One still managed to respond with an insensitive lack of tact, and sent one message that managed to make even the old moderator break down. In a video she uploaded to her Instagram page, Marks said: "I still can't get into the car, sitting here outside the station.
I try so hard to pick up especially in the first hour for the kindergarteners, the teachers and the educators so that they come in and meet our children with great joy and everything was drained to the last hour today.
We have a right and we have a duty to remember and remember our fallen."

"There were such sad dedications at the end and I fell apart. And one message arrived that crushed me - 'How much you are crying as an atonement.'"
The presenter chose not to be silent about that message and responded to the listener: "Come, be in my inbox for 10 minutes, read the messages about what is happening in this country, soul. There are so many displaced people who have not slept in their homes for four months. People who care about their children very much. Families of abductees . There are a lot of people who have lost their loved ones. We have so many fallen."
Marks continued and shared: "Our listeners write me messages and ask us to remind and remember and I read everything and sometimes I try so hard to pick up but it's very difficult. I also sometimes run out of strength. I try very hard. I don't run out of strength, because it really is infinite but sometimes there is darkness And there is a sunset and it's very difficult. Family of David Shkory who fell yesterday in Gaza, my heart is broken with you, broken. So 'don't cry as an atonement', I'm trying very hard. Sometimes this job is very difficult. I'm like apologizing for crying and it's also fucked up. Abnormal reality."
Following the events, the Netal Association is increasing the helpline at 1-800-363-363 or on the association's website. The line provides mental assistance to anyone who feels pressure, anxiety and needs support and mental assistance due to the situation.
