“We are champions, Omer.”
Ronen Neutra, the father of murdered Israeli hostage Omer Neutra, z"l, in a heartbreaking tribute to his son after the New York Knicks playoffs victory.
"The Knicks took the championship, just as you dreamed. The excitement here is indescribable, but it is mixed with a deep longing for you. Since the beginning of the playoffs, we have placed the Knicks flag over your grave — it has accompanied us, and you, throughout this crazy journey."
Omer was born and raised in New York before moving to Israel. On October 7th, Hamas killed him and took him captive.
"His spirit is with us here every second. We know that you are up there, above us, happy, dancing and delighted with this victory. This championship is yours too. Rest in peace, Omer. We will never forget you."
