What ordinary Gazans think about Hamas

[Eli Kowaz - איליי קואז @elikowaz]

This is frightening. Nearly 1/4 of Americans under 30 think the Holocaust is a myth.

[StopAntisemitism @StopAntisemites]

Dismal.
Maddening.
Unfathomable .

Our blockbuster 2023 College Antisemitism reports shows the reality for Jewish kids on the ground now, attempting to maneuver the cesspool of antisemitism surrounding them.

I was ashamed to hear the recent testimony of 3 top university presidents. In my personal opinion, it was one of the most despicable moments in the history of U.S. academia. The 3 Presidents were offered numerous opportunities to condemn racist, antisemitic, hate rhetoric and refused doing so hiding behind calls for “context.” The memories of my father’s parents, Abraham and Rachel Bourla, his brother David and his little sister Graciela, who all died in Auschwitz, came to mind. I was wondering if their deaths would have provided enough “context” to these presidents to condemn the Nazis' antisemitic propaganda.

And because dehumanization of the victims makes it easier to “set your own context” and justify anything, here is a picture of Graciela Bourla, who was exterminated in the concentration camp at the age of 17. Unfortunately, no pictures of my grandparents and uncle survived. I still wonder what they looked like.

My husband Omri was kidnapped from our home almost 2 months ago by evil Hams. We don’t know anything. What can I tell my daughters when they ask where is daddy. Please, bring him home to us.

Hamas terrorists raped, tortured, murdered, and burned women alive.

If women’s organizations cannot condemn a sadistic, barbaric, rapist, women-hating terrorist organization, then who are you?

#WeToo, Israeli women, ask you to do something.

Hamas intentionally and cynically uses, or rather abuses, the civilian population of Gaza as a human shield and uses civilian infrastructures, such as hospitals, schools and mosques
that are normally protected by international humanitarian law,
as centres of command and attack against Israel.  

Under humanitarian law, such a misuse of civilian infrastructure can, under certain circumstances, be qualified as a military target, what is happening in Gaza.

Last night, a deal was reached on a partial release of hostages and a four day pause in fighting. Last month, the European Parliament called on Hamas to release immediately and unconditionally all hostages.

We still want Hamas to release all the remaining hostages and to stop using them as a bargaining chip!

[Assita Kanko MEP @Assita_Kanko]

Today, I have a question. A pressing question. For some Western feminists.
How can you remain silent, when women and girls are raped, tortured, their bodies carried around naked and spat on by bearded men shouting Allah Akbar?

Then you can never call yourself a feminist again.

Every day, including today, some Western hypocritical feminists should be ashamed of their silence on the horror that Hamas men inflicted to women and girls on 7 October.

And that includes big names we were once proud of.

Why are their lips sealed and their hearts of stone when it comes to the excruciating pain of Jewish women?

The MeToo movement and so-called intersectional feminists do not care about all women.

If they remain silent, it means they have lied to us about their commitment to women's rights.

Their actions support the oppressor, not the victims.

Also the EU money does.

Indirectly.

Those who say nothing about these women and the hostages, should not be standing here and speaking about human rights.

When you are under attack by terrorists, a cease fire is like raising your hands when you are being shot at.

Perhaps it is worth considering that a real lasting cease fire will start with bringing back all the hostages to their homes and the rapists to justice.

[Assita Kanko MEP @Assita_Kanko]

I was very shocked today by the intervention of a colleague.
So I asked… Why don’t you speak up against the violation of our fundamental rights and our values in Europe. Have you seen the people chanting in Rome, in London, in Paris, in Amsterdam, in Rotterdam, saying that we are the bad ones, saying that they are defending Palestinians, but in fact they are supporting the Islamic terrorist group Hamas. Did you see that? Why don’t you speak against that? The Palestinians are the first victims of the Hamas. Shame on you. More here 👇🏽#EPlenary

This beautiful baby boy Kfir Bibas was just nine months old when he was ripped from his home and kidnapped by Hamas terrorists.

He is now 10 months old and still being held hostage in Gaza.

Pray for the return of Kfir, his big brother Ariel, his mother Shiri and father Yarden 💔

BRING THE BIBAS FAMILY HOME.

In case you’re wondering, this is what Hamas stands for.

It’s not pretty.

@seattletimes @nytimes Removing the posters is a form of support for terrorism. It is a form of antisemitism.

[Sharon Raz @sraz1]

My heart goes to ALL people, both Israelis and Palestinians, who are suffering in the MiddleEast. All in the hands of Hamas, a terrorist organization, who doesn’t care about human beings and who uses people as human shields. https://t.co/Mjnzx9S5TP

You probably heard the news regarding Shani Louk.
I do - however - want to explain to you what happened.
This is Shani, by the way, 23 years old. A German-Israeli. She went to Nova music festival for a party.
She’s the one who was filmed on Saturday laying face down on a pickup truck. Naked. Her leg terribly broken and dislocated.
The crowd was seen spitting on her, poking her body. She was proudly paraded through Gaza.
In recent days, the IDF conducted missions in the north part of Gaza and the area surrounding the border.
Parts of Shani’s skull were found. She was partly beheaded.
After lab and DNA tests a panel of experts reached a conclusion that she was murdered and a formal message was delivered to her family.
She could have been your sister, your daughter, she could have been you.
Shani’s body is still being held by Hamas in Gaza along with 228 other hostages. The Red Cross is still not allowed to see them, no information regarding their condition was shared.
