A while ago, I watched the infamous 47-minute video documenting the atrocities of October 7th — the one not made publicly available, to protect the privacy of the victims.

The worst part of this video is not what it displays, but who is displaying it: the perpetrators themselves. Gleefully. Sadistically. Unabashedly. Most of the footage was filmed by Hamas terrorists on their GoPro bodycams, some also by ordinary Gazan civilians on their cellphones.

Even the Nazis tried to cover up their atrocities, but Hamas brags about theirs for the entire world to see. The killers are euphoric throughout the massacre, and their relentless, ecstatic cries of "Allahu Akbar" (punctuated by the occasional "Kill the Jew!") are simply nauseating.

Some images are seared into my memory forever. I will never forget the two boys in their underwear — one with his eye socket hanging out of his face — asking his brother whether he thinks they're going to die, while the Hamas monster who had just thrown a grenade in their saferoom helps himself to a drink from their fridge, taking a casual break from the slaughter.

Neither will I ever forget the terrorists playing football with a severed head. Or the Thai migrant worker whose head is viciously hacked off with a garden hoe — another "Zionist colonizer" getting what he deserved, right?https://t.co/JvfJEtk8LA
Or the throngs of Gazans crowding around pickup trucks loaded with the mutilated corpses of Jewish women, filming and spitting on the bodies. Or the woman in Kibbutz Mefalsim, crouching and begging in vain for mercy.

There is some evidence of sexual violence in the video — the charred corpse of a young woman with her legs splayed and her genitals exposed — but not much. Apparently even Hamas draws a line somewhere: they are not as proud of raping Jewish women as they are of murdering them. Or, more likely, they simply didn't want to embarrass the delicate sensibilities of their legions of useful idiots in the West.

But yes — there was rape. Not "rape" in scare quotes, as the apologists would have it, but sadistic, murderous sexual violence, documented in a new damning new report by The Civil Commission, an independent Israeli women's rights NGO. (video summary here: https://t.co/LTTjiO1s7E)

Across its 180 pages, the report describes "a recurring pattern of rape and gang rape; sexual torture; mutilation; targeted shooting to the face, head and genital area; forced nudity; binding and restraint; genital burning; objects inserted into intimate areas; post-mortem sexual humiliation; and execution during or after sexual assault."

And it was premeditated and organized. The terrorists crossing into Israel carried printed Arabic-to-Hebrew phrasebooks with handy expressions like "take off your pants," "lie down," "spread your legs," and "don't make trouble." I wonder why they expected to need those particular phrases?

I know one thing: no civilized country on earth would tolerate the existence of an organization like Hamas on its border after October 7th. Not one. This includes every self-righteous Westerner currently lecturing Israel from thousands of kilometres away, without an inch of skin in the game.

Today we came to the staff offices of the Venice Biennale and asked to speak with President Buttafuoco, who has been actively hiding from my personal communication as well as formal communication in my capacity as a participant of the platform for dialogue with Russian Democratic Forces at PACE.

The police blocked the door, and all turned their badges around - eventually someone said "their boss" will speak with me inside. They allowed just me and my husband in - and after taking photos of our IDs and having police force us to delete videos of their faces - the staff member - Francesca Oddi - said the president was aware of our presence but was not here. We asked her to call, and she said she didn't have his number, we asked if anyone in the building had his number and she said no (lmao).

We showed them the letter signed by 71 members of PACE, as well as our personal emails - and they said I could write a hand written letter they would guarantee hand delivery to him.

They made me sit on the floor and write a letter, which I did.

This is all happening while Buttafuoco makes press statements that he just wants dialogue, and any type of censorship is bad - but he goes thru every length to communicate with the Kremlin stooges, and makes every effort to hide from me.

What a shame of a President and a stain on this Foundation and a coward of a man. Afraid of little me, an exiled artist with a message of a better world and some questions - sounds just like Putin.

The collapse of trust in science is going to go down in history as one of the most sad, bizarre, and destructive social contagions of modern times.

We fed billions, cured diseases and powered nations - yet people ran toward conspiracies instead.

@PalomaresEj you are right, I predicted that this would happen while I was on the Scientific Council. On one hand what I called "elite remorse" and the illusion that making the ERC "popular" would make it politically more likeable. But this would make it impossible to manage and finance.

@IMPvienna wonderful talk!

[Oleksiy Goncharenko @GoncharenkoUa]

Most of Kyiv is without electricity, without heating. Many houses have no water. Because of Russia. I want you to understand the scale of the disaster. The population of Kyiv is now about 3-3.5 million people. It's almost like Berlin, Madrid or Rome. Imagine, half of Berlin is left without heating, water and electricity in the middle of severe frost?
