In a previous response, you said there are no witnesses. Now you say don't believe the released women hostages who are witnesses. Sounds like MeToo, unless you're a Jew. Yup, can't believe those lying Jews, especially dead rape victims who didn't survive long enough to get pregnant by their violation and mutilation by Hamas terrorists using a phonetic Arabic alphabet cheat sheet with commands like, "spread your legs, lie down, take your clothes off!".
Can't believe forensic Dr. Qanta Ahmed or the hundreds of journalists who've seen the Hamas GoPro videos of atrocities.
"I Saw the Children Hamas Beheaded With My Own Eyes.
In Abu Kabir, I examined incinerated remnants of teeth and bones; charred remains of children; and physical cadavers of victims. I read CT scans of children and adults bound together and burned alive. I viewed images of a decapitated young girl, her child skull tethered to her trunk by only a sliver of decaying skin. Her facial expression, surrounding milk teeth, haunts me still. Across the boundaries of death, her Edward Munch-like scream still echoes….One account, far from unusual, is especially harrowing: A woman who survived the Nova music festival in Re'im witnessed a young woman encircled by Hamas, stripped naked, violated, and manhandled by multiple Hamas terrorists as they gang raped her, repositioning her by the waist and hips, moving from one rapist to the other. Shuddering at the memory, covering her face, with difficulty, the eyewitness continued: One terrorist pulled the woman's long hair, forcibly arching her neck backwards, fully exposing her naked torso, only to sever both her breasts from her chest with his commando knife. Her entire torso fell backwards, slackened in agony. She may have fainted, though she lived through the mutilation. The disembodied breasts fell to the ground, where terrorists casually played with them."

"It is firsthand testimony that is coming out of the mouths of women who were there and who saw what was happening with their own eyes. One released hostage, 17-year-old Agam Goldstein-Almog, told The Free Press that about 50 days into her captivity, she met some of these young women in the tunnels, some of whom still had bloody gunshot wounds that had been left untreated, and one of whom had a dismembered limb. They told Agam that they had been sexually abused.
Here is what Agam told us. “I heard from them accounts of terrifying Sexual Abuse and grotesque sexual abuse,” she said, “often at gunpoint.”
“They told me that when they were sad and cried, their captors would take advantage of their helplessness even more and stroke and caress them and then shove and grab intimate parts of their bodies. They were treated,” Agam told us, “like playthings.” Chen Goldstein-Almog, Agam’s mother, who was held hostage with her daughter, told
The New York Times that she, too, met women in the tunnels who said they were sexually abused.
In recounting a conversation she had with these hostages, Chen told Israeli media that Hamas, quote, “simply put a gun to their heads and did what they wanted to them at gunpoint.” Twenty-one-year-old Mia Shen, who was released
after 54 days in captivity, told Israeli media that before she was taken to Gaza, she was, quote, “groped on her upper body by her first kidnapper.” It was only when he realized that her arm was severed, she said, that he stopped. When she got to Gaza, she said she feared death and she feared rape. She said she thinks the only reason she wasn’t raped in captivity is because her captor’s
wife and children were present in the home the whole time. Did he ever do something
like that? No. Only because his wife was outside the door. If we were there alone, something was bound to happen Aviva Siegal, 64 years old, was held in Gaza for more than 50 days. Her husband is still in captivity. She testified before a Knesset committee
that she witnessed a woman being tortured and another who showed signs that her captor had violated her. It’s not just the released hostages giving these testimonies. One of the doctors who treated the released hostages reported that ten of the people who were freed, including men, were sexually abused in captivity. Another doctor said that among the 30 female hostages that he treated
between the ages of 12 to 48, many suffered sexual assault during captivity.
Another doctor said that many of the released female hostages showed signs of PTSD
and said that the patients are, quote, “deeply traumatized by extremely serious
sexual assaults.” None of this should come as a surprise,
because the entire world saw what Hamas did on October 7 aboveground
in broad daylight, proudly captured in their own photographs and videos
for the entire world to see. The extent of the rape and sexual violence
by Hamas on October 7 has been well documented in pictures,
in videos, in eyewitness accounts, in testimony from rescue teams and medics,
in testimony from pathologists, and from people who prepared Jewish bodies for burial,
according to Jewish law. A New York Times investigation last month—the
screams without words
haunting must-read piece is called “Screams Without Words”—reported
that medics found more than 30 bodies of women and girls with their clothes torn off
and with signs of sexual abuse. They reviewed photographs of one woman’s
corpse with, quote, “dozens of nails driven into her thighs and groin.”
They also reviewed a video provided by the Israeli military, quote, “showing two dead
Israeli soldiers at a base near Gaza who appeared to have been shot directly in their vaginas.”
One witness, a 24-year-old woman named Sapir, who survived the Nova Festival on October 7,
spoke to the Times about what she saw that day. And this next part is hard for me to read,
and it may be hard for you to listen to, but I think it’s important for me to read it. Quote: “The first victim
she said she saw was a young woman with copper-colored hair, blood running down her back,
pants pushed down to her knees. One man pulled her by the hair and made her bend over.
Another penetrated her, Sapir said, and every time she flinched, he plunged a knife
into her back.” She said she then watched another woman, quote, ‘shredded into pieces.’
While one terrorist raped her, she said, another pulled out a box cutter and sliced off
her breast. One continues to rape her and the other throws her breasts to someone else
and they play with it, throw it, and it falls on the ground.
She said the men sliced her face and then the woman fell out of view.
Around the same time, she said, she saw three other women raped and terrorists carrying the severed heads
of three more women.” Another witness at Nova, Raz Cohen
told the Times, and later CNN, of a gang rape he witnessed at the festival on October 7.
00:14:12:01 - 00:15:04:12 It was like a half-circle,
and the girl was in the middle of the circle. And after they
pulled the cloths off the girl,
they started to—one of them started to
rape her. And then—it was something like
forty seconds, and then after
he raped her, he take a knife
and he kill her, murder her. And after he did it,
he continue to rape the dead body. In countless IDF testimonies,
soldiers and medics and volunteers have testified to what they found in the homes of the kibbutzim
near Gaza. One rescue officer testified that when he entered the home
of one of the communities attacked, he found a 14- or 15-year-old girl who had been raped
and then killed, shot in the head in her bedroom next to her sister.
Some first responders testified that they couldn’t even tell if the bodies they found
were men or women. That’s how badly these people were mutilated. 00:15:51:20 - 00:15:59:15 I saw in front of my eyes
a woman laying. She was naked.
She had nails and different objects
in her female organs.
Her body was brutal in a way that we could not identify her.
Others who work for the military morgue testified that they saw, quote, “women with bloody underwear,
with broken bones, broken legs, and broken pelvises.” As the Times
investigation points out, the true number of women assaulted on October 7 will never be known.
And that’s because some of the bodies were burned so badly that they weren’t bodies in the end at all.
And it’s also because Jewish religious ritual dictates that bodies be buried as quickly as possible,
usually the day after death. And, of course, there was the absolute chaos of the days following the attack,
when terrorists were still roaming free in southern Israel and where Israeli medics and volunteers
were simply unable to keep up with the death toll and the destruction. At the Nova Festival site, to choose
just one example, bodies were hauled away by the truckload, more than 360 of them
at that particular site. Now, imagine right now if one of these 18-
mothers and daughters
or 19-year-olds being held by Hamas was your daughter.
Imagine if the world—imagine if other mothers and daughters and women
did not scream on your behalf. That silence alone would be unimaginable.
But then imagine if some of them didn’t just not speak up for you, but instead they berated you
or suggested that your child somehow deserved it. That’s exactly
what happened to the mother of one teenage girl who currently remains in captivity.
Last month in New York City, a group of anti-Israel protesters harassed Dr.
Ayelet Levy-Shachar, the mother of a 19-year-old girl, Naama,
who was taken hostage on October 7. “Shame on you,” they yelled at the grieving
mother. Ayelet’s 19-year-old daughter
Naama Levy was taken hostage by Hamas in a now-infamous video. Her hands were bound,
her ankles were cut, her pants were soaked in blood, and she is stolen away by screaming terrorists
with automatic weapons, spirited away into the back of a black jeep.
Or take how the Red Cross responded to the family of Doron Steinbrecher, a 30-year-old woman
being held by Hamas in Gaza without her medication. The family told Jake Tapper
that when they begged the Red Cross for help, the Red Cross actually told the family,
you should focus your concerns on Gazans. 00:18:55:15 - 00:19:16:14 My mom had a few minutes with
the Red Cross, and she told them my sister needs to get her medicine.
And they told her that we should care more about the
people on the other side and less about
our beloved ones. Or take just this week, when a San Francisco man who lost five family members
at Kibbutz Be’eri, including two who were kidnapped, shared his testimony
at a city council meeting. He was met with boos and jeers and pig noises
from anti-Israel activists. And again,
just last week, when an Israeli woman in New York City went over to a group of anti-Israel protesters
and tried to talk to them—my friend is being held hostage by Hamas, she said. One of the female
protesters responded, Go cry at home, bitch.
And then, maybe worst of all, there are the women who are questioning or denying that
any of this happened at all. Now, it’s important to note that there are also a lot of men denying
the atrocities of October 7 and the ongoing atrocities: The Grayzone’s Max
Blumenthal, the journalist Aaron Maté, the journalist Ali Abuminah, Owen Jones
from The Guardian. But the thing I cannot wrap my head around is how a staggering number
of these deniers and the people ripping down the posters of the hostages, are women themselves.
Women like Briahna Joy Gray, a political commentator at The Hill, host of the show Rising,
and most notably, Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign national press secretary.
She also happens to have a law degree from Harvard. Over and over again, Gray has simply refused
to accept that Hamas raped Israeli women. Why? Because the,
quote, “Zionists,” she says, “were relying on men as witnesses,” and because,
as she put it, “Israel didn’t collect rape kits on October 7.”
zionists
In case that seems hard to believe, here’s the whole tweet for you. “Zionists are asking
that we believe the uncorroborated eyewitness account of men who describe alleged
rape victims in odd, fetishistic terms. Shame on Israel for not seriously investigating
claims of rape and collecting rape kits.” Next, she added, “It was fishy
that no female victims have offered their testimony.” As the feminist
Jill Filipovic put it perfectly: “Yes, it is generally the case that if you kill
your victims, they can’t testify against you.” I’d add that it’s hard to give testimony
when you’re held underground at gunpoint in a tunnel by a terrorist.
More recently, in the face of overwhelming evidence, including The New York Times investigation,
an investigation that did include female eyewitnesses, Gray argued that she simply has skepticism
that is rooted in the timing of what she calls “the resurgence of these claims.” 00:22:28:18 - 00:22:38:18 And this is subjective, I’m
not saying I have any evidence of this, but it felt coordinated and out of nowhere and perhaps in response
to clearly dwindling public support. If I hadn’t told you that these words were coming
out of the mouth of a former Bernie Sanders campaign secretary, I’d venture to guess that you would have
thought they were coming out of the mouth of someone like Alex Jones. This is a person, Gray is,
who tweeted in 2018 about Brett Kavanaugh’s sexual assault allegations that, quote, “The burden
is on Kavanaugh to rebut it.” I could go on about the hypocrisy
of Briahna Joy Gray. But the thing is, this isn’t just an instance of a single morally blind person.
In November, Samantha Pearson, then director of a sexual assault center
at Canada’s Alberta University, denied that acts of rape had taken place on October
7, calling them “unverified accusations.” Last week,
when Democratic politician Matt Dorsey asked the San Francisco Board of Supervisors Committee
to include language of Hamas’s mass sexual violence in a cease-fire resolution
it had passed, he was met with shouts of “liar” from the crowd. 00:23:43:05 - 00:23:55:05 In according
to a two-month investigation by The New York Times, quote, “showing a pattern of rape, mutilation, and extreme
brutality against women,” and quote. . .
In another instance from last week, when a woman was confronted on the street and asked
why was she tearing down the posters, raising awareness of Hamas’s use of rape
as a weapon of war, she responded, because they have been proven false. 00:24:10:10 - 00:24:19:12 Excuse me.
Why’d you just tear down signs of women who went through sexual assault in Israel? Um, yeah, because they have been proven
false. They’ve been proven false? Yes. Now, perhaps you’re listening to this right now
and you wonder if Israel is prosecuting its war against Hamas in the right way.
Perhaps you’re listening to this and thinking too many innocent Palestinians have been killed.
Perhaps you’re thinking Palestinians should have their own state, or maybe you’re thinking Israel has historically been
unjust in its treatment of the Palestinians. Maybe you’re listening and thinking about a thousand
other things, a thousand other things about Israeli policy or about Bibi or about settlements
or about Hamas or about U.S. aid or about fears of an ever-growing war.
All of those are fair positions. All of those are fair questions. All of those are
things worthy of debate. But when you are asking things like why didn’t they use rape
kits on dead women raped and shot in the head by terrorists on October 7,
you sound a little bit like a 911 truther. "
