On October 7, 2023 a swarm of savages poured out of Gaza to engage in an attack on Israeli civilians at the NOVA Music Festival, near the kibbutz of Re'im, and at their homes in kibbutzim across southern Israel.
The attack was initiated by the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Muslim terrorist organization Hamas, which still operates to this day openly in the United States through the front groups CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Babies, children, teenagers, and elderly people were victims. In all, some 1200 people were killed and 251 others taken hostage during the assault, which featured vile acts of rape, torture and desecration of the dead not seen since the darkest days of Hitler’s Holocaust.
At the NOVA music festival site terrorists breached the festival site using trucks, motorcycles, and paragliders. They opened fire indiscriminately on thousands of fleeing civilians, killing 364 civilians and 34 security personnel.
Firsthand video footage and survivor testimonies revealed that gunmen systematically walked through the grounds to execute wounded individuals at point-blank range.
Rape and other brutal forms of sexual violence were a strategy of Hamas and an integral part of the October 7, 2023 attacks. Investigations by independent human rights bodies and The Civil Commission on Oct 7th Sexual Violence documented that sexual violence was used as a widespread tactic. Victims at the festival site were subjected to rape, gang rape, physical mutilation, and gender-based violence before or after being executed.
Our friend Yoni Gilboa, Director, ZAKA Tel-Aviv, an organization responsible for preparing the bodies of the dead for burial according to Jewish tradition, reported the organization’s volunteers found with horror a pregnant woman – slaughtered – the tiny body of a baby, soot-blackened remains that a scan revealed the DNA of two parents with their child between them, and in one case just a few vertebrae were recovered, that was all that remained of a person burned by the savages carrying out the attack.
As the Civil Commission reported, the perpetrators did not conceal these acts - they glorified them. They filmed and broadcast them in real time, transforming their violence into spectacle and human suffering into an instrument of terror.
Sexual violence was not incidental to the October 7th attacks; it was central. Women and girls, and, in many cases, men and boys, were subjected to rape, sexualized torture, mutilation, and desecration of bodies. Parents were murdered in front of their children; siblings assaulted in front of one another; victims stripped, violated, filmed, and displayed.
The frenzy of sexual violence unleashed by Hamas and its collaborators in its 7 October attack on Israel plunged unfathomable depths of brutality and depravity, and it was all straight out of the Quaran – the Muslim “holy book” – that is in reality a political-military, and yes sexual, handbook, that guides Muslims in their conquest and subjugation of non-believers.
In the face of this documented depravity one would expect, indeed logic and humanity would demand that it be condemned, but on many American college and university campuses the opposite has proven true.
The October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel has been commemorated on U.S. college campuses through anti-Israel demonstrations that can only be characterized as the glorification or celebration of violence against Jews.
Organizations such as Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and related student coalitions have organized walkouts, rallies, and digital campaigns around the anniversaries of October 7. Indeed, certain chapters shared social media content or held events that framed the October 7 attacks in celebratory terms, such as labeling the October 7, 2023 attacks as "the greatest day" or referencing the "Al-Aqsa Flood," the operational name Hamas gave to the attack, in celebratory terms.
And in the three years since the October 7, 2023 orgy of murder and rape things have only gotten worse on many American college and university campuses.
A report by the Ohio State Senate documented that Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) have coordinated multiple protests across dozens of American university campuses. SJP’s national chapter called Hamas’ terror attack a “historic win” for the “Palestinian resistance.”
Students for Justice in Palestine at the University of Virginia issued a statement calling the Hamas massacre “a step towards a free Palestine.”
A Yale professor, Zareena Grewal, reacted to the massacre by tweeting, “It’s been such an extraordinary day!”
Pro-Palestinian protestors and Antifa members at the University of Washington lobbed homophobic slurs at a reporter while chanting ‘From the River to the Sea’ and intifada,’ well-known code words for the destruction of Israel and a call to massacre of Jews.
The attack on October 7th 2023 by Hamas on Israeli civilians marked one of the deadliest assaults in modern history, resulting in over 1,200 deaths and it will happen again, against Israel and against other non-Muslim populations because it was not unique to the war between Hamas and Israel.
The October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel was a warning to all mankind as Muslims now openly proclaim at every opportunity that a world without Jews (and Christians) is a divine commandment, the will of God, and a necessary prologue to the liberation of mankind. It is time Americans took that warning seriously.
