Israel’s courage shines as Nvidia embraces its captive employee, contrasting Gaza’s terrorist savagery and Arab indifference.
Noa Argamani — newly freed from the grip of Hamas’s barbaric captivity — shared a powerful testament to Israeli resilience and global solidarity. Writing on X, she described how her boyfriend, fellow released hostage Avinatan Or, experienced unwavering support from his employer Nvidia throughout his two-year ordeal.
She revealed that Avinatan’s 2022 entry-level job at Nvidia became “one of the best decisions he ever made,” not simply for career growth but for the extraordinary humanity the company demonstrated while Hamas held him underground.
According to Noa, Nvidia employees across Israel and worldwide refused to let Avinatan’s name fade into silence. Colleagues who had never met him held signs daily; meetings opened with calls for his safe return; and his workstation remained untouched — a symbolic stand against the terror that sought to erase him.
She emphasized that every level of the organization, from teammates and managers to the Israel site leadership, rallied behind the Or family. Even CEO Jensen Huang personally checked in, offering steadfast support and proving that moral courage still exists in a world too often threatened by violent extremists.
Nvidia remembered him even though he had worked there for only 18 months before Hamas kidnapped him — a stark contrast to the barbarity of Gaza’s terror regime and the deafening silence of surrounding Arab nations. Their loyalty represents the ethical clarity the free world must adopt: standing by victims of terror, not appeasing those who commit it.
Noa concluded that Nvidia’s devotion is a living example of true mutual responsibility — the very value Hamas and its regional enablers will never understand.
