The Heartbreaking Story of Shirel Golan: How Online Hate Took a Survivor’s Life

Shirel Golan, a young woman who survived the devastating Nova Festival terror attack on October 7th, tragically took her own life after enduring relentless online harassment. Shirel’s story is one of unimaginable trauma: escaping the horrors of Hamas’s brutality, only to face a new form of cruelty from online bullies who flooded her social media with vicious comments.

Survivors of terror already face immense emotional burdens, but for Shirel, the trauma continued long after the physical danger had passed. The online hate she encountered left her feeling isolated and broken. Sadly, her story reflects the dark side of social media, where unchecked hate can push even the strongest survivors to the edge.

This tragic loss reminds us that words matter—whether online or offline. As we stand with Israel, we must also stand against the forces of hate and extremism, no matter where they surface.
