“I just saw indescribable, raw footage of Hamas’ massacre along with 100 other international journalists”
“Hamas terrorists enter a house, where a small girl is seen hiding under the table. After some talking back and forth they shoot and kill her as she hides under the table. Hard to say how old she is but looks like 7-9 years old.”
We reported yesterday that Israel was planning on providing a viewing of raw footage from Hamas and other terrorist bodycams, Israeli dashcams, and security cameras, in light of the denialism being spread about Hamas butchery.
That showing took place today:
The Israeli government on Monday screened for 200 members of the foreign press some 43 minutes of harrowing scenes of murder, torture and decapitation from Hamas’s October 7 onslaught on southern Israel, in which over 1,400 people were killed, including raw videos from the terrorists’ bodycams.
The government said it had decided to show journalists part of its collected documentation in order to dispel what a spokesperson characterized as “a Holocaust-denial-like phenomenon happening in real-time,” as doubts have been raised around the world about some of the most horrific of Hamas’s atrocities.
Journalists were not permitted to record the screening, which took place on a closed military base.
The footage was collected from call recordings, security cameras, Hamas terrorists’ body cameras, victim dashboard cameras, Hamas and victims’ social media accounts, and cellphone videos taken by terrorists, victims and first responders. Over 1,000 civilians were slaughtered by the terrorists, and at least 224 people were abducted.
In one pair of videos that were screened, Hamas terrorists are seen dressed in IDF uniforms, flagging down passing cars and then shooting their occupants.
Dead bodies are dragged out of vehicles and left in the middle of the road after terrorists rifle through their belongings and in some cases steal the blood-soaked, bullet-ridden cars.
In another video, first responders are seen pouring bottled water over still-smoldering bodies, hoping to snuff out the remaining embers.
In another, a man writhes on the ground, bleeding from his stomach, as a terrorist tries repeatedly to decapitate him with farming equipment. The man appears to be southeast Asian, possibly one of Israel’s foreign agricultural workers.
In another clip, from after the assault, an Israeli woman is seen trying to work out if a partially burned woman’s corpse, with a mutilated head, is that of a family member. The dead woman’s dress is pulled up to her waist and her underpants have been removed.
Major Gen. Mickey Edelstein, who briefed reporters after the viewing, said that “we have evidence” of rape but “we cannot share it,” declining to elaborate further….
In the second segment, captured through a call recording application on a victim’s phone, a different son reaches out to a different father. “Dad, I killed 10 with my bare hands,” the terrorist excitedly tells his father in Gaza. “Their blood is on my hands, let me speak to Mom.”
“Please be proud of me, Dad,” he adds.
Identified by his father as Mahmoud, the terrorist says he is calling his family from the phone of a Jewish woman he’s just murdered, and implores them to check his WhatsApp messages for further documentation.
Here is a Twitter thread from one of the international journalists who viewed the footage:
I just saw indescribable, raw footage of Hamas’ massacre along with 100 other international journalists, provided by Israeli authorities. Here are the notes I took:
1: Hamas terrorist screaming Allah Akhbah as he frantically tries to behead a dead man with a shovel.

I’ve saved screeshots of the thread, since so much seems to disappear from social media during this war:
I just saw indescribable, raw footage of Hamas’ massacre along with 100 other international journalists, provided by Israeli authorities. Here are the notes I took:
1: Hamas terrorist screaming Allah Akhbah as he frantically tries to behead a dead man with a shovel.
So many more scenes but I hope you get the gist. The authorities asked is not to film the screening out of respect for the relatives of the Israeli victims. If anyone has any doubt about what happened, I truly don’t know what to say anymore.
2: A father and two sons (roughly 7 & 9) running for their lives in their underwear into what appears to be a bomb shelter with an open entrance. A Hamas terrorist throws a hand grenade into shelter, killing the father, and badly injuring the two sons who run back into the house
2 continued: The two sons are screaming for their dad, saying they are gonna die. A Hamas terrorist casually and calmly takes a bottle of water from the family’s fridge and drinks it as the two boys weep.
3: Hamas terrorists enter a house, where a small girl is seen hiding under the table. After some talking back and forth they shoot and kill her as she hides under the table. Hard to say how old she is but looks like 7-9 years old.
4: Hamas terrorists setting fire to a house in a kibbutz.
5: A beheaded Israeli soldier.
6: Photo of dead baby and child burned beyond recognition.
7: Scores of dead people on the road after Hamas executed them in their cars. Yelling Allahu Akhbah.
8: Hamas terrorist calling his parents: “I killed 10 Jews with my own hands. I’m using the dead Jewish woman’s phone to call you now.” The mother says “May god protect you.”

If you had any doubt that there are deeply evil people in the West cheering this on, British-based author Asa Winstanley of the Electronic Intifada website is promoting an anonymous article in the anti-Zionist Mondoweiss website blaming Israel for the massacre at Kibbutz Be’eri (see our prior report):

I increasingly agree with this sentiment:
They need to release the footage so the world sees

Comments
These videos MUST be released to the world to dispel the lies of Hamas and the Muslim terrorists. If they don’t release them then it will be the bombed hospital lie all over again. I cannot imagine the young people at the college rallies continuing after seeing what Hamas did.
I can imagine it.
Some would applaud the videos just like in Gaza.
I seen the vile images of those mobs… I’d say most would applaud.
Me too.
Even if they’re released they will be dismissed as propaganda and/or fabricated using CGI or AI. More of our fellow citizens are brainwashed than most want to believe or admit.
Worse, they could very well be dismissed as acceptable behavior.
I think that the pictures are compelling, and when I saw several of them I have been hopping mad since. I do not think taking Hamas out is enough. We must put a stop to indoctrination of the children.
Yes, but how? I can’t think of a solution except to confiscate close to a million juveniles and raise them in strictly controlled orphanages with teachers dedicated to deprogramming them and making them forget their parents and upbringing. Rather like the institutions for native children in places like Canada and Australia, that are now accused of “genocide”.
And the older ones — all those over the age of 9 or 10 — what do you do about them? Are they even salvageable? Do they have to be institutionalized for the rest of their lives, for the sake of public safety? Half a million criminally insane people? What a massive undertaking!
Cut the tree to the ground and burn the stump
What does that mean, exactly? Gas a million men, women, and children?! It’s a serious problem, but what is it possible to do about it?
A lot of them would jerk off to it
When my father was liberated from His German prison camp in the spring of 45 by the Russian Army, he was a constant witness to this behavior. The Russians raped and bayoneted every German female they could lay their hands on. Games were played ending with German farmers’ having their heads blown off. In his long march back to a British processing camp, he witnessed numerous farmhouses where the father had hanged himself, his wife, and all his children rather than face the Russians. Man is essentially evil.
The Russians were making the Germans reap of the whirlwind. Considering how the Soviets treated their own people…. this was expected of them. Nazi and Soviet plagues on the world…
That sounds an awful lot like justification. Be careful jmo.
There was not a jot of moral difference between the Nazis and the Communists. The West allied with the latter against the former only because Germany was the immediate threat while the USSR wasn’t going to be a threat for at least another five years. But as soon as Japan surrendered the allies should have turned on Stalin, just like Hitler did, and liberated Russia from the communists.
Very true and most people don’t want to admit it. Homo Sapiens was one of over a dozen other hominids. We are here and they are not b/c we out murdered them and probably ate some of them along the way.
We are in many ways still hairless murder apes whose base nature is held in check by the evolutionary cultural adaptations we created. When/if homo sapiens reject those culturally adapted inhibitions it isn’t very pretty.
I’m going to disagree, CommoChief. It isn’t evolution that holds our base nature in check. It is Christianity (and some parts of other religions) that does so. It is morals from on high that keeps it in check. Evolution teaches BAMN. Only morals (good ones, like Christianity) can say otherwise.
And, it is Christianity – specifically because of its morals – that Progressivism rejects (along with Judaism).
It’s civilization. Christianity is a big part of our civilization, but ours is not the only one.
Christianity is an example of a cultural evolutionary adaptation.
We are a mixed bag.
Evidence General Rommel: “War without hate.”
It’s a noble concept for such an ignoble activity. It’s hard to get men to shoot at each other without some modicum of “hate.” But war is, after all, merely “an extension of foreign policy by other means” (than diplomacy), so, theoretically, it could be fought dispassionately and doesn’t have to include hate, but a little hate (at least) instills more fighting spirit, a necessary ingredient for victory.
I recall my section leader telling me that when he first arrived in Vietnam, he was reluctant to kill the enemy. He said a chaplain convinced him that killing communists was “doing the Lord’s work.” He found that an acceptable motivation, and enjoyed the rest of his combat tour, as well as two later tours for which he volunteered (each tour was with a different airborne unit, he was no REMF). (I thought Melvin – RIP – was slightly touched, and my estimation of his mental state has not changed. But many years later he explained to me his apparent lack of fear. He said he had a near-death experience as a child that convinced him that death only led to a better existence elsewhere, so he was simply not afraid of dying.)
That was true. It’s good to hear there was at least one chaplain who hadn’t been infected by the moral rot that pervades so many mainstream religious people now.
Oh dont kid yourself, there was plenty of hate in the north african campaign. In my younger days I regularly met old soldiers who had fought in that campaign and their hatred for Germans and Italians was still visceral many, many decades later.
To put a fine point on this, many Germans related that Soviet front-line troops were relatively well-behaved, warning civilians to beware of the behavior of follow-on troops, mostly Asiatic/non-Christians, who had a reputation for barbarity. It was these troops that committed most of the atrocities against German civilians.
I recommend After The Reich: The Brutal History of the Allied Occupation, a book that will upend the common misperception that Germany had a unique capacity for committing atrocities, not shared by the Allies, in occupied lands. As we might expect (considering these were among the times we developed our former reputation as honorable and moral people), US forces seem to have come off best, post-war, with only the systematically-approved lending of US-held German POWs to our British and French occupying allies for use as slave labor. Everyone else, in particular civilians in territories with substantial ethnic German populations, coming off quite poorly.
Hamas has revealed the true nature of muslims.
Why would anyone doubt it in the first place? Because all Hamas are gentlemen and have never been known to hurt a flea?
Same reasons alpha predators (human variety) always have the upper hand against their human prey. The prey does not look at the predator and see a predator until after the fact when they are food.
I look at a predator and I see the distance I need to manage in order to end the attack. The predator sees this awareness and smells the willingness that backs that awareness and chooses a softer target.
It really depends on your view of humanity.
Russian Proverb of two men in the snow:
Man 1: Do you see that person in the distance coming towards us?
Man 2: Yes. Is he friend or foe?
Man 1: I don’t know. You’d better shoot him dead to be on the safe side.
Seemed to work good for Stalin.
1. The total involvement of the people in Gaza is evident from this attack. Presume no one is innocent in Gaza unless they are not old enough to stand and walk.
2. This stuff isn’t really new barbarism. It’s as old as man. If you haven’t yet rejected the Progressive lie that “man is inherently good”, this should disabuse you of it.
3. Out of >1,400 dead on the Israeli side, over 1,000 of them were civilians. Even in the progressive Foggy Bottom world of treaties, this sets Israel free from all constraints under the “Law of War.” But progressives won’t acknowledge that because it would harm the anti-Jewish narrative.
4. Israel needs to stream this stuff out to the world as it opens its ground attack to crush Gaza once and for all. Put it on a loop with a caption of “Do you understand why we will not stop this time? Did you think ‘never again’ was just a virtue signal?”
I recall watching footage of the initial attack by Hamas, and I seem to recall that there was at least one Palestinian, on crutches, no less, going right along with the rest of the terrorists–so no, I don’t think the Palestinians are innocent, or that they are somehow separate from Hamas
3. Out of >1,400 dead on the Israeli side, over 1,000 of them were civilians. Even in the progressive Foggy Bottom world of treaties, this sets Israel free from all constraints under the “Law of War.”
Hamas fighters are brigands and murderers, not the uniformed troops of a recognized sovereign state. The rules of war do not apply to engagements with such personnel. Outlawry is a double-edged sword. “Outlaws” are not just people who operate outside the law, they are people who, by their conduct, have placed themselves outside the law’s protection.
I agree and for that reason see no reason to treat them any different than they have treated others. They aspire to take over civilization, something which would lead to a new dark age. This is not just about Israel. If they succeed with Israel, the rest of us will be next. This is war, it should have been treated as such a long time ago.
Not all constraints. The rules protecting civilians still apply. The civilians are not responsible for the fact that the combatants are behaving illegally.
But those same rules allow reasonable collateral damage while hitting legitimate targets, proportionate to those targets’ military importance, not to the harm inflicted by the enemy. Civilians are only protected from being deliberately targeted, and from being put at risk disproportionate to the military benefit gained thereby.
I would argue for the dignity of the dead. After the brutal treatment of the victims by Hamas, they deserve to be treated with respect. I don’t believe showing their battered bodies will convince the skeptics in the West. Those skeptics have no intention of condenming Hamas. They have their own reason for hating Israel, and nothing will change that. Some people are titillated by the sight of blood. It appeals to their baser instincts, which might be the only insstincts they have. The victims of this evil called Hamas deserve better than to have their agonies displayed to a cold, unfeeling audience. May God bless Israel in this difficult time.
I don’t believe they are actual skeptics… they either think it’s justified or deny what they actually know to be true to shield and protect the subhumans they cheer on…. Why make it easier for them. Let the world see …,just like what was needed to be done for the Holocaust
Of all the murderers in the videos, how many of them have been identified so justice can be done upon them. And by “justice” I mean summary field executions. And let them know prior to execution they will be defiled in ways which bar them from entering Paradise. Murderers of innocent human beings cannot be allowed Martyrdom.
How many? 1000?
You view the victims as innocent.
However, there are Muslims all over the world praising Hamas’ attack.
Your definition and these Muslims definition of innocent is not the same.
Describe, in detail, what you seem to be suggesting. Because we both know what it is you’re suggesting. So, be a man about it, and speak your mind.
https://understand-islam.com/2014/03/12/muslim-innocent-infidel-not-innocent/
You dodged. Type what it is you are suggesting into the chat box. Stand by your convictions.
ParkRidge is not wrong. In Islam, the non-believer must suffer the insults and attacks of a Muslim, as someone who is of lower status than a believer. In Islam, all violence against Muslims by non-believers is disallowed, an infidel has no right of self-defense.
ParkRidgeIL is suggesting, via inference, genocide.
As far as I know there are no such ways. Not that they have any chance at entering Paradise anyway, but they think they do, and there is nothing you can threaten to do to them that would make them think otherwise.
The idea that they believe being buried in pigskins, or rubbed with pig fat, will keep them out of Paradise has no basis.
The fact that only Israel has to convince the “world community” that unspeakable crimes against humanity occurred after suffering a horrible terrorist attack is all you need to know.
Whenever there’s some kind of terrorist massacre in another country, there are no calls for proof that the massacre actually happened. But the Israelis are forced to the point of providing evidence to counter denials of details of the cruelty (like the beheading of babies).
Ask yourself why that is. When non-Israelis and non-Jews were being beheaded by ISIS, there were virtually no denials that this was happening. But when it happens to Jews/Israelis … whoa! … slow down there, Champ! Don’t be spreading vicious lies about Hamas gentlemen doing a little resistance work.
I just saw a poll that 51% of Americans 18-24 years old think the terrorist attack on Israel was justified. Every single one of them should be forced to watch the same video that was shown to these journalists.
What a sick world we live in right now.
And there’s something SERIOUSLY effin wrong with the 18-24 year olds in the country.
It’s government schooling.
I remember how after 9/11, elected officials were falling all over themselves denouncing Islamophobia. Muslims don’t seem to care much. They’ll eliminate anyone they perceive as a threat to their march to world domination. I think at this point, now we have seen how much hate there is in the Muslim community, some Islamophobia is well justified. And if someone tells me that I shouldn’t paint all Muslims with such a broad brush, where are the Muslim voices denouncing what happened or the hate filled demonstrations we have witnessed since 10/7? The sounds of silence are deafening. And as Prof. Jacobson has pointed out, after Islam is done with the Saturday people, it will come for the Sunday people.
It’s only a phobia if it is irrational. I’d say a fear of Islam is extremely rational.
But Danny said…
It is sad we have such short memories. The same lack of denouncing occurred post-9/11. Several good documentaries I can’t recall the names of 🙂 tried to get “moderate” Muslims to say that “someone (who) did something” to cause the deaths of over 3,000 people should not be celebrated but rebuked. Alas, it was not to be then, nor now. At least we know where we stand.
At least we know where we stand.
For certain, narrow definitions of “we”, unfortunately.
The Fox News overage of this press conference is unremarkable in every way. They haven’t given it much coverage at all (I’ve had it on in the background most of the afternoon). Mike Tobin spoke about it briefly in a weirdly clinical way.
Like some other commenters, I think it should be shown, with the appropriate parental guidance warnings. But, the media cannot properly cover what has happened and what will happen without using the full context of that day’s horrific events.
It’s clear to me, now, that if a second, Muslim-led, global holocaust against Jews were to take place, European, Leftist dhimmis and their equally vile and evil American Dhimmi-crat counterparts not only wouldn’t lift a finger to stop it, they would gleefully cheer, aid and abet in the slaughter.
That’s where we are sadly at, folks.
You hit the nail on the head.
It wouldn’t be a second one, it would be Part II of the original one. They were Hitler’s allies in WW2, and never gave up their ambition to finish the job he started.
Fair enough, but, you get my underlying point, nonetheless.
The self-congratulatory, self-styled “anti-fascist” and pro-“social justice” European, Leftist dhimmis and American Dhimmi-crats for whom agitation on behalf of allegedly “marginalized” groups is an article of faith, wouldn’t do a damn thing to stop the murders of Jews, and, indeed, would celebrate their demise.
That’s how morally bankrupt these wretched and evil hypocrites are, and, how meaningless all of their myriad “social justice” slogans and posturing.
I read somewhere that Islam will be the dominant world religion in the not too distant future. What does this bode for the future of Israel? I am not very optimistic.
Progressivism is currently well ahead of it in the West. And look what that has accomplished in binding Israel.
Not just Israel, civilized people in general.
What needs to happen is that at the next Hamas protest these videos are broadcast across every large advertising screen anywhere near the protest route. Let them see what they are supporting.
