It has been deeply disturbing to see the United Nations and feminist organizations refuse to acknowledge that Hamas raped and committed appalling sexual crimes against women, simply because the victims are Jewish. It took two months for some to finally admit the scale and the brutality of the horror.ืด

Today, I watched a horror movie.
With this difference that it was not a staged play or acted... what we were shown really happened.
It was uncensored footage of the 7 October massacre by Hamas.
The movie that was actually planned to be shown in parliament, but was eventually refused by the left-wing Chamber president. While it is precisely often the left-wing politicians who apparently need to be reminded of this massacre.
Today, we got to see the movie in the Senate.
It was tough to see this footage, but I think it is a moral duty for politicians to face these atrocities before declaring some measure.
Of course we don't share these images, out of respect, but I'm going to try to describe it a bit so that people would realise that one really cannot refer to Hamas and their atrocities as freedom fighters.
People should realize that it is unacceptable to condone this under the guise of a pro-Palestinian movement, knowing that Palestinians are also victims of these monsters.
Unfortunately, until the day Hamas exists, no lasting solution, something the world is waiting for, will be possible.
In the movie, we saw bloodthirsty young Islamists behaving sadistically at the behest of their Islamic ideology.
"Father... I killed 10 Jews today with my own hands" was a conversation between a young jihadist, excited by his own 'heroic act'. His father proudly and approvingly replied "Allah u Akbar" and called out to his wife "come and see, your son is a hero".
The victims' crime? Simply being Jews, or, as we often heard on that movie from the terrorists' mouths, "dirty dogs".
Dogs, according to Islam, are impure and something you will never get clean (no matter how many times you would wash it or whatever).
They should best all be killed, exterminated.
At every murder, every beheading, every hostage-taking, they triumphantly roared "Allah u akbar!"
And itโs not our imagination, under this motto they commit their crime.
When one wants to judge Israel's defence, one simply has to think what you yourself would do.
My answer is clear: I would defend my family and my people to the last drop of blood.
The footage was often taken by body-cams of the Hamas terrorists or cameras of victims. They were filming in homes and even kindergartens.
The atrocities they were so proud to share with the world.
You can even see them simply torturing and maiming someone, whom they shot but was still alive, with an axe until that person dies. We saw them shouting "Allah u Akbar" and triumphing with a dead soldier's head that they first cut off his body very slowly.
A father was killed in front of his two boys and the mother was taken as a hostage, and this while the eldest brother tries to push on the wounds of his younger brother to stop the bleeding.
Death by bullet was a dream for many victims that day.
We must never forget this massacre.
In the name of life and freedom.
As the movie played, many tears flowed among those present and there was a deafening silence.
Let us hope this brings more awareness in the political world about what took place that day.
Condemning what happened on the 7th of October is not enough. We must ensure that something like this cannot happen again.

Iโm at a loss of words to explain this.
Weโve been through hell and are still struggling. Women and girls were murdered, tortured, terrorized and raped in the most inhumane ways possible. The evidence is overwhelming and undeniable. And yet again, the same denial mechanism inflicted on individual rape victims, are now inflicted against all of us โ women, girls, mothers, sisters and daughters in Israel.
By whom? By those who are supposed to know.
To understand
To believe.
Instead of being offered help, we are all subject of a collective international denial. We find ourselves fighting a dual battle: one against these atrocities and another against silence, denial and hate.
As a feminist scholar and activist, Iโm ashamed for the entire movement.
I will never forgive the women who stood silent as Israeli women were raped, mutilated, their bodies publicly desecrated.

Yesterday's night i posted a video about the horrific genocide Israel experienced on Oct. 7th.
The video was removed from Twitter and my account was locked after generating over 250,000 views, and counting. It contained some truths which were too graphic for this platform...
I post it again, a softer version but still hard to watch for some (*trigger warning*). I ask you to please share it again, comment again, make the video fly again!
Let our voice be heard!
And #StandWithIsrael
Lahav Halevy: On October 7, Young Israeli women were raped by Hamas terrorists.โจ Some were kidnapped and taken to Gaza.โจ Yet, not a single women or feminist organization around the globe, raised any voice of either criticizing the horrible deeds of the Hamas or >>

Since 7/10 I have been unable to discuss anything scientific here - too overwhelmed by the horror of the HAMAS terrorist attack, the subsequent war and the ignorance, lies, hatred and antisemitism in scientific journals, on campuses and streets worldwide. Please read and RT
@UN The humanaitrain crisis in gaza INDEED has reached unprecedented levels.
222 HOSTAGES ARE HELD BY FUCKING HAMAS including 30 KIDS with out ANY sign of LIFE.
THIS IS HUGE HUMANAITRAIN CRISIS
Please help me spread the story of two hostages, Yogev and Rimon. Yogev is the brother of my amazingly talented & modest Ph.D. student Nufar, whose life has become a nightmare since Oct. 7.

This is Shlomo Ron. When Hamas terrorists invaded his home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, this 85-year-old frail man had a plan.
He left his wife, daughters and grandson in the shelter, and went to sit in his living room, waiting for his death. He figured that when terrorists break in they will see him, execute the lonely old man, and move on. He was right.
Heโs a hero who sacrificed himself for the people he loves. May be rest in peace.
Dear Colleagues,
While my usual focus here is centered around work-related content, #CRISPR, there are times when events demand our attention beyond professional matters. I feel compelled to share with you the recent tragic events in Israel.
Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005. It evacuated every Israeli settlement and repositioned to the international line. Hamas took the strip by force, built a sharia quasi-state, and has now launched a surprise attack aimed at murdering and taking as many Israeli civilians hostage as possible. The main supporter of this action is Iran. While the Middle East is complex and there's always more to learn, these are key facts. These actions are war crimes and crimes against humanity, rooted in radical Islamic fundamentalism. Its enemies are not only Israelis but every person who believes in liberty, equality, and justice.
