MUSLIM TERRORISM IN LOS ANGELES - Attacking Muslims Gets You 5 Years. Attacking Jews Gets a Pass - Radical Pro-Palestinian Leftists Shut Down L.A.’s 110 Freeway; 75 Arrests
Radical Pro-Palestinian Leftists Shut Down L.A.’s 110 Freeway; 75 Arrests
Police arrested 75 people for blocking Interstate 110 in Los Angeles on Wednesday as part of a pro-Palestinian protest demanding a “ceasefire” in Gaza — one that would leave the Hamas terror group in power, with over 100 civilian hostages taken from Israel.
Dozens of protesters calling for a cease-fire in Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas war halted traffic for close to two hours on the 110 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles Wednesday.
…
A group called IfNotNow Los Angeles had announced plans for a downtown protest although the organization did not indicate it intended to shut down the freeway. The group called the protest “to demand that all of our elected officials call for a lasting ceasefire and an end to U.S. support for Israel’s war on Gaza.”
…
SkyFOX images from the scene showed the group sitting on the freeway next to a 7-foot menorah. At one point, frustrated drivers were seen arguing and even shoving some protesters.
The Los Angeles Timespersisted in calling the group “IfNotNow” Jewish, though it is not representatives of the Jewish community, which supports Israel.
IfNotNow has actually targeted Jewish groups for abuse, and has given moral support to Hamas terrorists in the past. It once formally mourned Hamas members who “protested” at the Gaza border fence in an attempt to break through and invade Israel in 2018, and who were shot and killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

A day does not go by without some politician or talking head demanding that Israel worry about killing fewer Palestinian civilians. Sorry, while we do not wish for human suffering, the Palestinians have brought upon themselves everything they are currently suffering.
You live in Chicago and you’re in the kitchen making a steak. The TV in the background is blurting out the news. Suddenly, there is a news flash. “A jumbo jet with over 300 people has crashed into multiple residential buildings. Details to come.” You stop what you’re doing and wait for the report to continue. Let’s imagine two scenarios:
1. The crash was in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.
2. The crash was in Chicago, a few blocks from your kids’ school.
In the first instance, you would feel bad for those killed and wounded, but you would probably go back to making dinner and think no more about the event. In the second case, you would frantically start making phone calls and probably rush out of the house to see if your kids are okay and if anyone you know was harmed.
Such a reaction is normal. Professor Mike Sandel of Harvard is a bigshot. When I had his course on Moral Reasoning 40 years ago, he was an assistant professor. Professor Sandel had a theory of “justice” that involved a person having concentric rings of interests and connections: family, job, country, religion, etc. These rings move according to the situation at hand. An example he brought forth back in the day was Mujaheddin from Afghanistan asking you if you were a freedom-loving person. The response was ‘Yes, I am.’ He’d then counter, ‘So come fight with us against the Soviets!’ But the natural response was, ‘Well, my family, country and job come before my ring for foreign freedom lovers, so sorry guys.’
We all feel closer to some than to others. And sometimes a religious obligation trumps work, or work trumps a family event. That is normal. But every night for the past six weeks we have been treated to some news host, or even Kamala Harris, demanding that Israel be more careful and invent bullets and bombs that can only kill card-carrying Hamas members. I will not deny that the Palestinian people in Gaza are suffering. One can see the destroyed buildings, their moving south with their belongings and the taking apart of aid trucks out of desperation. The IDF today estimated 2 civilian shields killed for every Hamas terrorist. While the Palestinians are suffering, they alone are responsible for their plight:
1. Hamas started the war. I think that Colin Powell called it “the Pottery Barn Rules”. You break it, you pay for it. Everything that happens in Gaza is on them. Everything.
2. The Palestinian population was and is ecstatic about Jewish suffering. Remember the Palestinian civilians (including the old guy with a walker) shown on CCTV coming into Israeli settlements to steal, rape and take captives? Remember their wild reception in Gaza of Hamas barbarians and the raped women they brought back in their trucks?
People here in Israel generally feel towards the Palestinians EXACTLY what the latter feel towards Israelis. No, Israelis do not hand out candies when Palestinians are killed en masse, but the Palestinian suffering is something of their own making. If Israeli tanks and planes for no apparent reason on 10/7 simply went into Gaza to kill civilians, I hope that I would be at the front of any protest, demanding an end to the killing. But details matter, and Hamas started the war, and those Palestinians with the mule-carts are the same ones who spit on the Israeli women abused by Hamas psychos.
The media and politicians often like to leave out or bend details, as they can then push forward whatever agenda they have. I remember during the Trump presidency Forbes touting immigrants who had been super-successful and had made it big in the US. Their list included Sergei Brin of Google and Jan Koum of WhatsApp. Wonderful. Those immigrants were LEGAL immigrants who filled out the forms, paid the fees, stood in line, and completed the legal process to enter the US. They have nothing to do with the millions illegally entering the US with few skills and little education.
An Israeli-Russian captive succeeded in escaping his Hamas handlers and was hiding for four days. He reported after his release that Palestinian citizens turned him over to Hamas. A UNRWA teacher held a captive in his house. A woman with a gunshot wound was treated by a veterinarian. The Palestinians started the war and were enthralled with the killing, raping, and plundering. Now that Hamas is receiving its comeuppance, the world demands that Israel treat Palestinian human shields with kid gloves. Sorry. As Kurt Schlichter always writes, if the Palestinians want to protect their citizens, then let Hamas put down its weapons and stop fighting.
Those demanding so much from Israel are antisemites. Why? Because when Syrian civilians were being slaughtered by the Assad government or Uyghurs were being abused by Chinese authorities, they said nothing. They did not form some BDS movement or demand a halt to the killing and torture. But when they can stick it to the Jews and demand that Israel fight an impossible war against a cowardly enemy that hides in population centers, then they are marching endlessly.
Israel does not kill civilians. It actually puts its soldiers into harm’s way to reduce civilian deaths. But civilians will continue to suffer and die as long as Hamas is still around. So blame Hamas and not Israel. It will make the war end more quickly when the murderers realize that they have lost their fans in the West.

Attacking Muslims Gets You 5 Years. Attacking Jews Gets a Pass.
The distance between a Turkish restaurant and a Sushi place in Los Angeles is a short drive and a politicized legal system that punishes attacks on Muslims and Jews very differently.
On Nov 4, 2020, during the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War, two Armenian men attacked a Turkish restaurant in Beverly Hills, California. Federal hate crimes charges were brought against them. One of the men in the ‘Islamophobic’ attack was sentenced to 5 years in prison while the other was thrown in jail for 15 months.
On May 18, 2021, during fighting between Israel and Hamas, a pro-terrorist convoy passed Sushi Fumi, a restaurant 10 minutes away from the Turkish place. Members of the convoy assaulted Jewish diners, waved a terror flag, demanded to know who at the restaurant was Jewish, and witnesses said chanted, “Death to Jews” and “Free Palestine”.
(Among the Jewish men, an Armenian Christian man dining with them also faced violence.)
There were no federal charges. The Muslims faced two two felony counts of assault. A judge let them off with probation and ordered them to visit a Holocaust museum.
The difference between 5 years in prison and an order to visit a Holocaust museum is the vast gulf between how attacks on Muslims and Muslim attacks on Jews are treated. While it can be hard to measure and compare the treatment of different groups, the attacks on two restaurants within walking distance of each other a year apart is revealing of the very different treatments.
Both of the attacks happened within the context of fighting abroad. Both involved convoys of protesters. In both cases, a vehicle diverted to a restaurant where its members expected to find members of a group they opposed. In both cases they demanded to know whether the people there were members of that group: Turkish in the former case and Jewish in the latter.
But the same basic behaviors led to very different consequences in a biased system.
An Armenian man got 5 years in prison because, in the words of the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, he “likely caused lasting psychological pain” to Muslims at a restaurant. Muslim thugs got a pass after kicking a Jewish man in the head.
The Department of Justice and the FBI got involved in the Muslim case. Not the Jewish case.
“The defendants violently attacked people inside a family-owned restaurant because of their perceived nationality,” Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke claimed of the Turkish case. “Such violence based on national origin has no place in our society. The Justice Department will continue to vigorously prosecute bias-motivated crimes in an effort to secure justice for the victims and the communities they are meant to target and intimidate.”
But it turns out that “such violence” does have a “place in our society” when directed at Jews, just not at Muslims. Attack a Turkish restaurant and you’ll spend half a decade in prison, but attack Jews at a restaurant in support of Islamic terrorists and you won’t even spend 24 hours in jail. Even when you’re booked for “assault with a deadly weapon” as part of a hate crime.
“Our police department together with our sheriff’s department, our FBI, and other partners is rightly investigating this assault as a hate crime,” Former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti had said of the attack on Jews at the sushi place. The FBI apparently chose to do nothing about it.
The promised “full force” of the law was condensed down to some bias training.
The differing treatment of the assault on Muslims and Jews at Los Angeles restaurants was a decision partly made by the Justice Department and the local FBI office. Assistant Attorney General Kirsten Clarke had a long history of antisemitism that may have factored into it. But it was also a decision made by a local judge aided by members of the anti-Israel Left.
Jewish leftists swiftly rallied to the cause of the Muslim thugs who were represented by a Jewish lawyer. Rob Eshman, a Forward columnist and anti-Israel leftist, claimed that sentencing the Muslim attackers to visit a Holocaust museum “was fair, maybe even a little harsh”.
Rationalizations and excuses swiftly followed. The Jews had fought back which made them complicit in the violence. Non-prison sentences like this were part of “restorative justice”..
But what happened when a Turkish restaurant was attacked shows that for the lie that it is.
Accountability is possible: it’s just more possible for some groups than for others. The attention paid to the Cafe Istanbul attack by federal and local authorities and by the media diverged sharply from what happened when Jews were attacked by a Muslim pro-terrorist convoy.
There were no rationalizations allowed in the Cafe Istanbul attack. No one in the media bothered to report that the Armenian men had been responding to Islamic attacks on Armenians in the area. And no one asked to define what “likely caused lasting psychological pain” was even supposed to mean. No judges told them to just go visit a mosque to learn tolerance.
Armenian men had trashed a Turkish restaurant during a time when Black Lives Matter mobs routinely did such things and one of them was sent away for a period that more typically goes with a manslaughter conviction. Was this a consistent application of justice? No it was not.
Justice comes from consistent application of the law. An Armenian attack on Muslims should not be punished any differently than a Muslim attack on Jews or a BLM attack on anyone. But we don’t have a consistent justice system: what we have is a heavily politicized justice system.
Politics is the difference between a 5 year prison sentence and a free pass. Leftist politics prioritizes those crimes that are politically wrong based on which group is targeted.
A similar phenomenon happened in the recent killing of Paul Kessler, a Jewish man assaulted at a pro-Israel rally (pictured above), and the shootings of three Muslim men in Vermont. ATF agents showed up to arrest the man involved in the confrontation with the Muslim men and the shootings were, despite the complete absence of evidence of hate, attributed to Islamophobia. But much as in the Sushi Fumi case, the FBI is merely in “communication” in the Paul Kessler case. And without federal intervention, the outcomes and sentences are certain to be very different.
Our justice system has two very different standards that favor groups for political reasons. Even though Jews suffer the majority of hate crimes, especially violent ones, those are also the ones least likely to be punished. Last year, Americans for Antisemitism documented 194 cases of anti-Jewish assaults in New York City and found that only two cases led to prison time.
While the book gets put away when it comes to attacks on Jews: it’s thrown at Muslim cases.
Michael Wolfe, a Florida man, was sentenced to 15 years in prison and another 15 years probation, for throwing bacon at a mosque and vandalizing it. Wolfe had been facing life in prison for the behavior that BLM rioters had carried out unpunished across the country.
This is not justice. The Left claims that the justice system is biased. They’re right. And they are the ones who corrupted it. A generation of “progressive prosecutors” and “criminal justice reform” advocates, along with selective federal “civil rights” interventions, have made it so that similar crimes can lead to wildly different sentences in a politicized justice system.
And that means attacking Muslims at a restaurant gets you 5 years and attacking Jews at a restaurant some blocks away gets you a mandatory visit to a Holocaust museum.

WHO INVADED WHOM FIRST???
The Grand Assembly of the Turkish parliament was ostensibly debating budgetary considerations on Tuesday, but Bitmez launched into a fiery condemnation of Israel’s war against the terrorists of Hamas in Gaza, accusing Israelis of “crimes against humanity” and “ethnic cleansing.”
Turkish MP Suffers Heart Attack During Tirade Against Israel
Turkish parliamentarian Hasan Bitmez suffered a heart attack and collapsed next to the podium at the Turkish National Assembly on Tuesday after delivering a tirade against Israel.
The Grand Assembly of the Turkish parliament was ostensibly debating budgetary considerations on Tuesday, but Bitmez launched into a fiery condemnation of Israel’s war against the terrorists of Hamas in Gaza, accusing Israelis of “crimes against humanity” and “ethnic cleansing.”
“Even if history remains silent, the truth will not remain silent. They think that if they get rid of us, there will be no problem. However, if you get rid of us, you will not be able to escape the torment of conscience,” he said.
Bitmez’s last words before collapsing were reportedly, “Israel will not escape the wrath of Allah!”
Bitmez, 54, reportedly suffers from diabetes. Fortunately, one of the fellow MPs who rushed to his aid, Turhan Comez of the IYI Party, is a trained physician. After Comez rendered aid at the scene, Bitmez was removed from the National Assembly chamber by stretcher after collapsing and taken to intensive care at Ankara’s Bilkent City Hospital. He was reported to be in critical condition as of Tuesday afternoon.
Bitmez is the deputy chief of Turkey’s Saadet or “Felicity” Party, an Islamist party formed in 2001. Saadet is considered the more hardline Islamist alternative to the ruling Justice and Development (AKP) party of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Turkey and Israel agreed to restore full diplomatic relations in September 2022 after years of estrangement, but their relations took a turn for the worse after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, and Israel launched its counter-terrorist operation in Gaza.
Erdogan has been critical of the Israeli military response while praising the savage rapists and murderers of Hamas as “freedom fighters.” Bitmez was evidently trying to be even more critical when he suffered his heart attack. According to some observers of the parliamentary debate, Bitmez grew agitated after AKP legislators began banging on their desks to protest parts of his speech.
WELL, WE KNOW WHAT BIDEN DID WHEN THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS INVADED! ABSOLUTELY NADA!
Biden Trashes Israel in Private D.C. Fundraiser; ‘Indiscriminate Bombing’
President Joe Biden trashed Israel and the Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a private fundraiser in Washington, DC, on Friday, after telling guests at the White House Hanukkah party the night before of his admiration for Israel.
The Times of Israel reported that Biden accused Israel of “indiscriminate bombing” in Gaza. Biden provided no evidence.
Biden also said that Netanyahu had to replace members of his democratically-elected governing coalition, and accept a Palestinian state.

In July, Biden made similar comments when explaining why he refused to meet with Netanyahu since his election the year before, saying that he had “extreme” Cabinet members. Biden routinely meets with autocrats from a variety of nations across the globe.
US President Joe Biden says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu needs to change his hardline government that has made it very difficult for the international community to back Israel in the war against Hamas. The president also says Israel is losing global support due to its “indiscriminate bombing” in Gaza.
“This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” Biden says during a campaign fundraiser in Washington, adding that the Netanyahu-led coalition “doesn’t want a two-state solution” — the path Washington has called for after the war with Hamas.
…
Last month, Biden also used the word “indiscriminate” to describe Israel’s bombing campaign in Gaza. However, he was referring to the early stage of the war and indicated that the IDF has been more pin-pointed since. His comments at the fundraiser reveal that he no longer thinks that is the case.
On Monday night, as Breitbart News reported, Biden told guests at the White House that he “loved” Netanyahu, even though they did not agree on many things. Biden also said he was a “Zionist,” claiming “southern parts of the country” did not like that.
In response to Biden’s claim about “indiscriminate bombing,” Israel Defense Forces spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told the Israeli press, in Hebrew, that Israel targets very carefully in Gaza, and has shown the U.S. proof to back that up. He noted that Israel had been especially careful in Gaza in the last several weeks, since it had a large number of its own soldiers on the ground.
The “extreme” members of Israel’s government are supposedly the religious Zionist parties, including national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir. Last month, Israel’s Army Radio reported that members of Israel’s left privately said they were thankful that Ben Gvir was in the government, after he threatened to quit if Netanyahu bowed to international pressure to stop the invasion of Gaza.
Netanyahu’s government now includes the center-left Blue and White Party, as part of an emergency national unity government.
Netanyahu has publicly opposed the U.S. insistence that Palestinians be rewarded with a state after the October 7 terror attack, and has also opposed the return of the Palestinian Authority to Gaza. His government is said to be drafting an alternative plan.

Israeli Doctor: Hamas Committed Sexual Abuse, Psychological Torture; Drugged Kids
An Israeli doctor is adding to growing accounts of torture and abuse by Hamas terrorists against Israeli hostages, telling the media that she has seen evidence of sexual abuse, psychological torture, and forced medication with powerful drugs.
The Times of Israel spoke to Dr. Renana Eitan, head psychiatrist at a prominent Tel Aviv hospital, on Tuesday:
“The physical, sexual, mental, psychological abuse of these hostages who came back is just terrible,” she added. “We have to rewrite the textbook.”
…
The hospital has been treating 14 former hostages held by Hamas, some of whom reported being drugged, including with what doctors believe were benzodiazepines, a class of depressants with a sedative effect that includes drugs like Valium.
…
“One of the girls was given ketamine for a few weeks,” she continued, referring to a powerful dissociative anesthetic known for giving the recipient a sense of detachment from their environment.
Another, male hostage was reportedly told that his wife had been killed when she was, in fact, still alive. Some hostages were kept in darkness for days, and some freed hostages experienced flashbacks, in which they believed erroneously that they were still in captivity.
Reports have already emerged of Hamas drugging hostages before their release, to make them look happy for propaganda videos; of psychological torture of children, who were forced to watch violent videos; and of Israeli hostages being beaten with electrical cables. Several reports have also noted that Jewish hostages were given less food and medicine than other hostages.

In Germany, eight Muslims who gang-raped and assaulted a 15-year-old German girl have been given suspended sentences. More on this travesty of justice can be found here: “Shock: After 15-year-old German girl gang raped by 9 men, only 1 sent to prison,” by John Cody,Remix News, November 29, 2023:
Germany: 8 Muslim Migrants Who Gang-Raped Girl, 15, Given Suspended Sentences
In Germany, eight Muslims who gang-raped and assaulted a 15-year-old German girl have been given suspended sentences. More on this travesty of justice can be found here: “Shock: After 15-year-old German girl gang raped by 9 men, only 1 sent to prison,” by John Cody, Remix News, November 29, 2023:
Eight gang rapists have been set free to walk the streets of Germany despite being convicted of a heinous and violent rape of a 15-year-old girl, with the case drawing outrage in a country known for its lax policy towards migrant rapists. The Hamburg regional juvenile court gave its guilty verdict Tuesday; however, only one convicted rapist, an Iranian migrant, was sentenced to two years and nine months in juvenile detention despite DNA evidence being found on the victim from all nine men.
The case dates back to 2020, when the crowd robbed a drunk female student in Hamburg city park, raped her repeatedly, and then filmed the whole incident.
All the defendants, who are between 19 and 23, received suspended sentences, except for the one Iranian, which means none of the others will serve any jail time. Media reports indicate that eight of the nine rapists had migration backgrounds, with the convicted rapists coming from Egypt, Kuwait, Iran, Armenia, and Afghanistan.
The court determined that the 15-year-old victim, who was heavily intoxicated, was dragged into a bush in the park in September 2020. Four of the convicted men raped her, and then stole her cell phone and wallet. Then, two others sexually abused the woman. However, it did not end there, with three others then moving in to sexually abuse the young girl.
Traces of semen were found from all the men on the victim.
The light suspended sentences were handed out despite none of the men showing any remorse during the trial, according to Bild newspaper, which sat in during the proceedings. One perpetrator was described as nearly falling asleep during the trial.
Not only was there no remorse shown by any of the defendants, but the whole business seemed to bore them. One was even seen nodding off during the trial. Knowing how lenient German courts have been with migrant criminals, they may well have believed that they would be given very light sentences — and they were right.
The migrants’ lawyers argued that the men were operating with high testosterone levels as an excuse behind the gang rape.
The Iranian who was sent to juvenile detention responded during the trial: “What man doesn’t want that?”…
How proud those nine Muslims were of their exploits videotaping one another as they took turns raping or otherwise sexually assaulting the 15-year-old German girl.
Why were eight of the defendants — all but the youngest one, whose age made him eligible for juvenile detention — all of whom had been found guilty either of rape or of sexual assault, nonetheless received suspended sentences? Four of them had been convicted of rape, as well as of having stolen her wallet and cell phone. What conceivable reason was there for suspending their sentences? Or those for the five other Muslims who had not raped her but had abused her sexually?
Could it be that there so many Muslim malefactors, committing so many crimes, and their trials taking so long and costing so much money — this one lasted 68 days and had 96 witnesses — that the courts in Germany are simply overwhelmed with dealing with them, and lack space in prisons to accommodate them? Or is it simply that the German judge’s leniency reflects her subliminal sense that these Muslims are savages, behaving as savages will, and she thinks it is too much to expect them to behave as non-Muslims do?
If the AfD wins the next election, its first order of business should be to restore the five-year residency requirement for German citizenship. Second, it must undo Angela Merkel’s madness and put a halt to Muslim migration. Third, it should provide the police with sufficient resources to round up and deport illegal migrants. Fourth, it should limit welfare benefits to migrants who have resided in the country, gainfully employed, for five years. Fifth, Muslims who have been convicted of a crime should, after serving their sentences, be stripped of their citizenship (if they have it), and be deported back to their countries of origin. That would be a start.

ISRAEL FIGHTS TERROR: Is Israel’s Response to Hamas Legal and Justified?
Joel Pollak
Saadet Party chair Temel Karamollaoglu told Turkey’s Daily Sabah on Tuesday that “Bitmez’s health was still at risk” and “asked for prayers for his recovery.”
Rape, Torture, Mutilation and Murder by Hamas Nazis – of Both Men and Women
More eyewitness accounts have just been released about the sexual assaults, followed by torture and decapitations, of both men and women, carried out by Hamas on October 7. The story can be found here: “Hamas raped men as well as women during October 7 attack: Investigators reveal how sex assault victims were tied up, stripped and mutilated as Israel launches its ‘biggest ever criminal investigation,’” by Summer Goodkind and David Averre, Daily Mail, December 4, 2023:
Israeli investigators probing the fallout of the brutal October 7 attacks have found evidence that men as well as women suffered sexual violence and rape at the hands of Hamas and Islamic Jihad attackers, activists have claimed.
Yael Sherer, a spokeswoman for Israel’s Survivors of Sexual Violence advocacy group, said there was physical evidence as well as eyewitness accounts of sexual violence perpetrated against both sexes amid the attacks.
‘There was sexual violence and rape in these communities in the south of Israel… we have a few living survivors – not a lot – of both genders. It didn’t only happen to women, it happened to men as well,’ she told BBC Radio 4.
‘Aside from finding bodies of people who were murdered, a lot of the bodies were mutilated… terrorists made sure to disgrace these people and dishonor them,’ she added….
Yoni Saadon, 39, who survived the attack on the Nova music festival by hiding under dead bodies, this weekend gave a harrowing account of the sexual violence he saw perpetrated against women at the campground.
One horrifying image he described was the moment a woman’s decapitated head rolled across the road, after she was beheaded for refusing to be stripped naked….
After an hour, the shift manager peeked out. ‘I saw this beautiful woman with the face of an angel and eight or ten of the fighters beating and raping her.’
The woman was screaming ‘stop it’ he said, and begged the terrorists to kill her to put her out of her misery.
‘When they finished they were laughing and the last one shot her in the head’, he said.
The father of four admitted how his mind kept reminding him it could have been one of his daughters, or his sister, who at the last minute bowed out of the festival.
The horror was far from over for Yoni as, hiding in the bushes, he saw two more Hamas fighters catch a woman.
‘She was fighting back, not allowing them to strip her,’ he recalled. ‘They threw her to the ground and one of the terrorists took a shovel and beheaded her and her head rolled along the ground. I see that head too.’…
Haim Outmezgine, commander of a special unit of Zaka, that collects the remains of bodies said: ‘We collected 1,000 bodies in ten days from the festival site and kibbutzim. No one saw more than us.
‘It was clear they were trying to spread as much horror as they could — to kill, to burn alive, to rape … it seemed their mission was to rape as many as possible.’
David Katz, head of the Lahav 443 criminal investigation unit, did not give a precise figure for the number of cases under investigation, but said the inquiry could take ‘six to eight months’.
The horror grows and grows. Those who still are unable to appreciate Israel’s determination to eliminate Hamas, and — like the Bidenites — preposterously hector Israel to “use great care to limit civilian casualties,” when that is something the IDF already does, more than any other army in the world, should study carefully these eyewitness accounts of unparalleled barbarity.
