-Every Israeli is very much exposed to violence in a way.

We lead kind of -- Violence is around us in many ways.

But personally, I never been to a terror attack or anything like that.

And I would say even going to the West Bank, I never experienced such violence.

I experienced violence, but not like that.

-Ziv is executive director of Yesh Din, an Israeli human rights organization that documents violations of Palestinian human rights, typically by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank.

Ziv and her colleagues often film and distribute videos like this, the aftermath of an Israeli settler attack on a Palestinian village.

10 days after surviving the onslaught at Kfar Aza, Ziv published an essay in the newspaper Haaretz.

"I have no need of revenge," she wrote.

"Nothing will return those who are gone.

Indiscriminate bombing in Gaza and the killing of civilians uninvolved with these horrible crimes are no solution."

Ziv says that months after October 7th, her perspective is still evolving.

-It might be too early to say how October 7th changed me.

I would say my immediate reaction was shock and mainly anxiety.

I felt it mostly in my body, actually.

I think in the few first weeks I thought that I needed to think of another career for myself.

Because I felt like my life is full with violence, and I felt like if there is a, you know, a tank, it was quite full before the 7th of October for me.

And then meeting this kind of violence, I felt like it's unhealthy to continue dealing with what I deal.

So after three months' break, I came back to work in January and that was very challenging.

And it is still very challenging for me, but also good for me because it is what I think is very important to do, and I find a lot of meaning in what I do.

But my belief is very well rooted that there is no other solution than solving this conflict.

I'm talking about if we have to choose between continuing conflicts and struggle and hatred, or trying and push as hard as we can to figure out a way to get out of this situation and talk to our enemies and find a way to solve this, I think we should invest every creativity, every dime, every hour of the day for that.
