Police bodycam footage shows the slaughter at Nova Peace Festival on October 7, 2023.
378 Israelis murdered at Nova. 44 kidnapped. Only 25 would ever make it back home alive. 💔
Three years ago, Michael, who was 9, and Amalia, who was 6, called the police from the safe room in their home in Kfar Aza. Their parents, Roi and Smadar Idan, had just been murdered. The children told the dispatcher where they were, and then said it over and over: our parents are dead.
They went back to hiding in the closet. Help didn't reach them until 19:20 that evening. Their little sister Avigail, who was 3, had been taken to Gaza. She came home after 51 days.
This recording was played for the first time tonight at the opening of "The Space That Remains" at the Peres Center in Jaffa, an exhibit put together by the October Council.
This was incredibly hard to listen to, but I think we owe it to them to hear it anyway.
Worse than Hamas propaganda. I have now seen the documentary NAZA in its entirety, and it is worse than I imagined. Over three years, I’ve tried not to be surprised by ignorance, disinformation, and distortions relating to war, but this is at the top for many reasons.
I will write a detailed analysis soon, but one of the worst, a massive claim displayed in the middle of the film, in bright yellow against a black screen: “Israel has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians in Gaza.”
Not even Hamas says this. Meaning not even Hamas claims Israel has killed every Palestinian that has died in Gaza since October 7th. Hamas has publicly killed Palestinians to maintain power in the Gaza. There have been battles between Hamas and anti-Hamas clans. Up to 20% of the 12,000 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad rockets fired at Israel fell inside Gaza. Recent Hamas reporting shows natural deaths on their list. To say every person that died in Gaza was killed by Israel is a vulgar lie.
There are a lot of other lies, lies by omission, and lies of ignorance in NAZA, but this claim is unique and follows the lies, damned lies, and statistics for accusations that go against the actual number put out by Hamas or reality.
More to follow on Naza.
Thanks @SpencerGuard but I’ll wait for the movie depicting the series of God interventions to bring the 174 people home when a jihadist tried to murder them all by crashing the plane. You spared me from watching this disgusting excuse of a “film!”
The Idan family has published the recording of the terrifying call that Michael, 9, and Amelia, 6, made to emergency services after their parents were murdered in their home on Kibbutz Kfar Aza in the October 7 Hamas massacre.
Hamas kidnapped their younger sister, Avigail. She was only 3 years old.
It would be 14 harrowing hours until Michael and Amelia were finally rescued, and over a month until Avigail returned from Hamas captivity.
I refuse to stop being horrified that some people will ignore these innocent children's ordeal simply because of who they are.
This is that phenomenal video I mentioned in replies last night, and it’s just an incredible lost film that was rediscovered and restored by luck.
It’s a film shot in 1913, recovered by Yaakov Gross, and it opens on a train crossing the countryside into Jerusalem. What it finds is a people the propaganda of the past three years has told us weren’t there. Shops, schools, signs in Hebrew, flags, prayers at the wall, and the towns already built along the coast. The propaganda was lies. The people were most certainly there.
Tel Aviv was four years old. Petah Tikva was decades old. The Technion was open. This is four years before Balfour, thirty-five years before 1948, a community large enough to have a documentary filmed about it at a time and place when cameras were still not too common.
The Declaration of Independence didn’t invent it. The boats didn’t invent it either. Neither did the state. The street was already there, bustling and thriving.
The Jews were always there. Many never left in the first place.
"If I didn't let her go, she'd still be alive" 💔
On October 7, Yael Idan watched Hamas terrorists murder her older sister, Maayan. They then kidnapped her father, Tzachi, and promised to bring him back.
He was murdered in captivity. Only his body returned.
These are the lives Hamas shattered. These are the voices the world must hear.
Listen to Yael’s testimony.
Share her story.
Never let October 7 be forgotten. 🕯️
The New York Post just revealed that the Gazan doctor who wrote two opinion pieces in the New York Times, accusing Israel of genocide after October 7th, is actually a Hamas terrorist himself.
It turns out that Dr. Hussam Abu Safyia is a Hamas Colonel.
Abu al-Abed shows the mixed grill platter he sells at his restaurant al-Hajj al-Sheikh Restaurant and Shawarma in Gaza City, for 50 shekels.

Hamas terrorists shepherded hostages through Gaza’s Shifa hospital.
Romi Gonen sexually assaulted at Shifa hospital.
Noa Marciano murdered by a doctor injecting air into her veins at Shifa hospital.
@MSF you were in Shifa hospital at the time. Were any of the perpetrators your people? Is this why you reject transparency?
See nothing. Hear nothing. Say nothing. Become complicit of terror 🙈🙉🙊
90% of Jews in Poland were murdered by Nazis. THAT is genocide. 3% of Gaza’s population, mostly male combatants died in a war that they started. THAT is NOT genocide!
Avoid Amsterdam at all costs.
A city that has more jail time for an item made by Jews in Judea that for possession of drugs and violent crime, is not a place for you or your family.
Oh, look at this video of Gaza, five days before October 7. A ceasefire. Peaceful and quiet.
Except it wasn't.
What you don't see are monsters preparing to carry out the most brutal massacre Israel had known since the Holocaust.
Exactly five days later, kidnapped families would be driven down these roads in pickup trucks. Most would be lynched by crowds, and some would be murdered along the way.
From the windows of these "peaceful" homes, rocket launchers would emerge. In their bathrooms, female hostages would be held and raped.
Inside hospitals, command centers would be established. They would later become major terror strongholds - places used to command, hold, support, and shelter terrorist organizations involved in what would become known as the October 7 massacre.
In the public squares, they would hold monstrous ceremonies, and they would turn schools into deadly traps.
A vast tunnel network beneath this ground would, over the next two years, hold and starve young people kidnapped from a music festival and elderly people abducted from their beds. Some would be brutally murdered.
It would take nearly two years and four months after the ground shook for them to return the body of the last hostage.
And by the end of the third year, they will post videos like this and write, with such "innocence," "Gaza, five days before October 7," as if they were the real survivors of a war they started.
A world turned upside down.
There is only one truth. They will never erase it.
The morning of October 7, 2023.
At 8:00 AM, I am speaking with my mother on the phone. She is 79 years old. I am screaming at her to get into the safe room. Terrorists are entering her home. I hear them speaking to her and hang up the call so I won't hear her being murdered in real time.
I call to warn my brother Nadav, who lives in the house next door. He answers, and I hear the terrorists at his place, too.
At 8:16 AM, the terrorists are holding Mom and Nadav hostage in her living room. They take photos of them using Mom’s mobile phone and send me two images via WhatsApp. Beneath the photo, they write in English: "Hamas."
They upload a third photo to Mom’s Facebook Story.
Contact is lost. Mom and Nadav are abducted to Gaza. My eldest brother, Roi, is also missing; his body is discovered the following morning. Hamas terrorists murdered him not far from his home. He was 53.
Mom returns to us on November 24, 2023.
Nadav survives in the tunnels but is murdered on February 14, 2024; he was 51 at the time of his murder.
Three years of a nightmare.

The British Mandate is now three territories.
Palestine: 98% Sunni Muslim
Jordan: 94% Sunni Muslim
Israel: diverse mix of religions and races
The two areas that are almost 100% Arab Sunni Muslim, claim Israel is an "ethnostate".
