Lee Sasi, who survived the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel by hiding under ... trends now
An Israeli-American woman who survived the October 7 Hamas massacre by hiding under dead bodies for seven hours slammed pro-Palestine protests on college campuses calling it 'really scary.'
Less than a month ago, Lee Sasi found herself hiding under lifeless bodies, fervently praying for her survival during an attack carried out by Hamas terrorists at the Nova music festival in Israel - where at least 260 people were murdered.
She witnessed her uncle getting blown up while he was protecting her from a grenade being thrown into a bomb shelter that festival goers - many who had already been shot to death - hid inside.
Today, Sasi is safely in Los Angeles, reunited with her family, yet still on the path to recovery from the trauma she endured. But what scares her the most, are the anti-Israel protests occurring on campuses.
'All the protests and the rallies that are going on at the universities, it's really scary,' she said in an interview with Chris Cuomo on NewsNation, 'and especially what I've been through, especially now more than ever, there should be no hate in this world.'

Since the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in Israel, there have been record numbers of Jewish students who have been assaulted or harassed at US colleges - as pro-Palestine activists turn campuses such as Harvard to Cornell into hotbeds of anti-Semitic hate.
'You know, it's really scary. And, you know, I just want peace for everyone,' Sasi added.
Sasi expressed her concerns about the surge in anti-Semitic incidents in the United States, some of which have occurred during protests on college campuses.
The healing process is undeniably challenging, Sasi, who said her life flashed before her eyes, said.
She attempts to limit her use of social media and leans on her family for support.
'It does drive me crazy. I try to stay away from social media, as much as possible,' she said.
'Of course, there's some debates that I have with people, but to keep me busy, I like to stay with my family ... and put our energy and focus not on social media, because sometimes it can be, you know, overwhelming and you know, not good for the soul.
Despite the horrors she witnessed, Sasi expressed her deep sense of gratitude.
'I'm grateful to be alive and to live this beautiful life, but the healing process is definitely not easy,' Sasi shared during an interview on 'CUOMO' on Wednesday. 'And my fiancé Shay, my faith, my family, and my community is definitely what's pulling me through each and every day.'
Her faith, too, has only been strengthened by what she endured.
