NYC mom mourns daughter killed by Hamas, compares terror group to Nazis

A New York City mom whose 26-year-old daughter was among the hundreds slaughtered by Hamas at an Israeli music festival compared the terror group to the Nazis — and called for global powers to band together against them, saying the “world needs to fight them.”

Hannie Ricardo, whose daughter Oriya Ricardo was gunned down at the Tribe of Nova event early Saturday, blasted the terrorists responsible in an interview on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut.”

“They have not a bit of humanity in them. These kids went to dance … and now they are gone. Among them my youngest daughter,” she said. “I want the world to know that every dollar you give to the Hamas goes for terror – it doesn’t go to the people that live in Gaza.”

She added, “The only thing I can compare these monsters, these inhuman beings, are the Nazis during the Holocaust.”

“The same kind of people and the world needs to know and the world needs to fight them,” she wrote.

Ricardo, who lives in the Big Apple, did not know her daughter had gone to the festival in the Negev Desert and found out when she was called in the middle of the night and told Oriya was missing.

“From that moment, I was trying to get any kind of information from my friends in Israel and at the same time to find a flight,” she said, adding that she arrived in Tel Aviv on Monday.

“I was still hoping because she was on the missing list,” Ricardo continued.

In the interview, she breathed heavily as she was asked what her daughter was like.

“It’s pretty hard to speak in the past tense about her. She was, as her name is, light – she brought light everywhere she came. A very happy girl, loved to party, was always the center of everything,” Ricardo said.

“She was the power of my life,” the anguished mother added about Oriya, who was the youngest of her three daughters.

But she later got the grim news that her daughter was among the 260 young people massacred at the overnight rave.

She said she understands that Israel has bombed Gaza, but noted that the Jewish state never starts the conflict – “always responds.”

“I feel for these Palestinians, these people, but they are hostages,” she said. “They are hostages in the hands of the Hamas and Iran. These terrorists have no other focus in life rather than kill as many as possible.

“When they are done with the Jews, they will come after the Americans,” Ricardo said. “They did it already on 9/11. This massacre that happened is even worse than 9/11. This is Israel’s 9/11.

“This wonderful, this beautiful, cheerful, amazing girl is dead now and I’m’ going to bury her day after tomorrow and my heart is broken to pieces,” she said.

“But I will go everywhere to speak about her, for her and against this terrorism that goes on in Gaza Strip,” Ricardo added.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military said more than 1,200 people, including 155 soldiers, have died in Israel since Saturday’s incursion.

In Gaza, 1,055 people have been killed, including 260 children and 230 women, according to authorities there. Israel says hundreds of Hamas terrorists are among them. Thousands have been wounded on both sides.
