⚠️WARNING: GRAPHIC AND UPSETTING FOOTAGE ⚠️ Agam Goldstein-Almog was 17. She says it at the start of the film, because the age is the point. On the morning of October 7 her family was in the safe room at Kibbutz Kfar Aza. Her father, Nadav, and her sister, Yam, were murdered there. She was taken with her mother, Chen, and her brothers, Gal, 11, and Tal, 9, and driven into Gaza in her mother’s car. She describes the trip. Civilians in Gaza banging on the windows. She told her mother they were going to rape her. The men in the car talked about marrying her off. She asked only that the four of them be kept together. They were. A schoolteacher who was also Hamas held them, after a tunnel, in an apartment, dressed as civilians so the street would not see Israelis. Fifty-one days. Released on November 26, 2023, moved from car to car through a crowd she thought was going to lynch them, and home to a house with two of them missing. That is the footage the argument always omits. This isn’t a leaflet. And it isn’t a border dispute. She was a 17-year-old taken from the room where her father and sister had just been killed, with two little boys, into a home in Gaza, by people the marches across London, Paris and New York still call resistance. She’s the one narrating it. The film doesn’t need a caption.

Visiting the Nova Festival Massacre site in Israel on the eve of October 7 was very moving. More than 350 young men and women were slaughtered here by Hamas, their bodies desecreted and paraded. Seeing their smiling, happy faces on the placards erected in their memory was like a punch in the gut. No political grievance justifies massacring innocents at a music festival. No cause makes kidnapping civilians acceptable. Calling these acts resistance is an insult to humanity. Tomorrow is October 7. Remember the victims. Hear the survivors. Name the perpetrators. Evil exists in the form of Islamic terror worldwide. Share this. Refuse to let the REAL victims disappear behind the wall of liberal propaganda.

वे बच्चे थे, माता-पिता थे, भाई-बहन थे, दोस्त थे और किसी के अपने थे। हर किसी की अपनी ज़िंदगी थी, अपनी कहानी थी, और एक भविष्य था, जिसे हमास के आतंकियों ने एक ही दिन में छीन लिया। 1,200 लोगों की हत्या। 251 को बंधक बनाया गया। अगले दो दिनों में 7 अक्टूबर को तीन साल पूरे हो जाएंगे, लेकिन यादें सिर्फ़ बरसी तक ही सीमित नहीं होतीं। हम उनके चेहरे, उनके नाम और उनकी कहानियाँ हर दिन अपने साथ लेकर चलते हैं।
