“Oct 7 2023”

As thousands of heavily-armed Hamas terrorists flooded into and fanned across Israel on Oct. 7, they capitalized on the Israel Defense Force’s belief that such an assault was “impossible,” leaving the IDF outmanned, outgunned and outmaneuvered, a report said Saturday.

The surprise attack — carried out on the Sabbath and the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah — saw some 1,200 people killed and another 240 abducted back to Gaza while Israeli troops scrambled to meet the multi-pronged offensive, the New York Times reported, citing interviews with dozens of personnel and witnesses, as well as documents and videos.

There has been an undeniable surge in antisemitism over the last few decades that has far outstripped prejudice against any other minority group. And since Hamas’s horrific terror attack on October 7th and the war that followed, there has been a nearly four-hundred percent increase in antisemitic incidents across the United States, including demonstrations by woke progressives and Islamists on university campuses and in major cities, where protestors chant antisemitic slogans and call for extermination of the Jews.

Is there another people on earth against whom their murder, rape, and torture arouse enmity rather than empathy?

Twenty-two years after the 9/11 jihad attacks, it has come to this: on Thursday, as anti-Israel protesters stormed the World Trade Center site in lower Manhattan, screams of “Allahu akbar” could be heard among the crowd. After two decades, the war cry of those who took down the Twin Towers has returned to the scene of the crime.

New devastating accounts of sexual violence and torture enacted on defenceless Israeli women by Hamas terrorists amid their brutal October 7 attacks have emerged.

Images shown to the New York Times by Israeli authorities showed a woman who had dozens of nails driven into her thighs and genitals in a savage example of mutilation, while other clips displayed the corpses of soldiers and civilians alike who had been either shot or stabbed in the groin.

Another dark image dubbed ‘the woman in the black dress’ showed the corpse of an Israeli later identified as Gal Abdush.

We approach the end of the calendar year but for many, 2023 came to an abrupt halt on Oct. 7. Hamas’s brutal attack that fateful day, which claimed the lives of 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals, marked the awakening of the western world to a nightmare, reminiscent of 9/11, as Islamic fundamentalism rekindled its violent agenda.

Starting at 6:28 a.m. on Oct. 7, Hamas shattered the innocence of many. Israelis, unfortunately, had believed that Hamas and its supporters would somehow contain their hatred, prioritizing their own people over indiscriminate acts of violence against children, women, the elderly and the infirm.

Torturing women to death while raping them is not resistance, nor a political statement. It is evil you can’t negotiate with

“Grandma, how did mom die?”

In a disturbing new report on the sadistic sexual violence inflicted by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, Eti Bracha shares the question her seven-year-old grandson, Refael, asked several weeks ago. It’s a question too many children are left asking after their parents were slaughtered by Hamas.

Much of the world continues to condemn Israel for waging its war against Hamas.

As the casualty figures on both sides grow, Israel is facing the usual calls for a ceasefire.

A call which this country has rightly not joined in.

One-third of Israel’s Arab citizens disagree with Ra’am lawmaker Mansour Abbas’s statement that Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre “does not reflect Arab society, the Palestinian people and the Islamic nation,” according to a recent poll.

Thirty-three percent of all Arab Israelis surveyed disagreed with the statement while a further 11% “didn’t know.” Among Muslim Arabs only (separating out Druze and Christians) the number was larger still, with 34.5% disagreeing with the statement and 12.5% answering “didn’t know.”
