First responders arriving to the festival, calling out as they get to a food/bar tent “I have 1 dead, 2..3,4,5 dead” “is anyone alive?” “please let me know if you are alive,” only to then look over the bar counter to see tens of civilians bodies laying on top of each other.
Rape & targeting of the young women at the festival. 1st a video of a group of more than 5 teenage girls scared, shaking huddled together in a tent. Hamas terrorist enters the tent. All girls handcuffed walked out of the tent now all bloodied faces. Some put in different vehicles
One girl from the original huddle, from the line walked out, separated and put into a jeep. Later same girl moved, pants covered in blood just around anus to front of pants. More photos of dead teenage women laying in the field of the festival, no pants, legs appear broken.
Beheadings. One scene shows Hamas in a Kibbutz screaming at a dead elderly Israeli man, stepping on his head and then asking for the garden hoe nearby. The Hamas terrorist strikes at the old mans need repeatedly trying to behead him.
Later scene a Hamas terrorist takes a knife and quickly severs the head of an IDF soldier, helmet still on his head, and walks off with the soldier’s head leaving his body. Other photos of just heads in a field flattened from some type smashing.
Many scenes of burned bodies. Bodies frozen in awkward positions in vehicles, on the highways, in their homes and burned to ashy skeletons. It gave me memories of visiting concentration camps of Dachau and seeing the photos of the holocaust.
From a military lens I saw Hamas fighters with training, leaders giving orders to kill systematically, conserving ammo. Orders “Shot them just once in the head, save your ammo.” I heard their communication back to leaders in Gaza with radios. Also terrorist with no training.
1 Hamas terrorist used an Israeli woman’s cellphone to call his parents “Father I am in...I just killed 10 jews, their blood is in my hands, thank god, tell mom, your son is killing jews.” The man (dad) and woman (mom) he is talking to just yell & reply “kill, kill, kill.”
I've seen my share of evil firsthand around the world in wars of the Middle East/Ukraine/etc. I've seen heinous cruelty/dehumanization/mutilations. I've looked evil men in the eye. But I've never seen so many evil men (hundreds, thousands) show such joy in committing their acts.
I understand now why this video must be selectively shown. You can't watch it without be in some way traumatized. I will never forget the children. Photo after photo of dead children in their PJs. Mickey Mouse, Stitch (my daughter loves at the moment). Covered in blood. Dead.
I hated having to watch the video. You can’t unsee the evil shown in it. No one should want to see it, but the horrors of that day should never be forgotten. Never rationalized away. The phrase in my head the whole time “Never Again” from the past, but I was watching it again.
@SpencerGuard We will never forget it. It's a horror we will carry through our lives.
I completely understand the families not wanting these videos spread far and wide with this being the last images of their loved ones, but there are some who really need to see just what type of people they are advocating for by marching in the streets. There is no excuse for this other than it is evil personified.
@SpencerGuard I am glad you understand why this must never happen again. I heard my grandfather's stories of Jewish people in WWII I never thought this would happen to people of Jewish faith again.
@SpencerGuard Thank you for your perspective and a truthful account it's been hard dealing with all of the people that said it never happened I've seen some of the footage nothing of what u describe I don't want to see it but I know how important it is for the world to see
@SpencerGuard @RonenStauber Was it Eisenhawer who made the German villagers tour the concentration camps? I think America needs to watch that video. Especially colleges. It’s a game to too many people
@SpencerGuard I think I’m traumatized reading it. God bless @IDF Do what must be done. End Hamas. For Earth. ❤️🙏✡️✝️
It haunts me since I saw it last month in Toronto. You explained it well. I was too stressed to take notes but the sick pride & jubilation of the killers stays with me and the two little boys whose dad was murdered in the kitchen.

@SpencerGuard That’s why should be shown to everyone. Everybody should know what humans can do when they lose their humanity. It’s the barbarism it’s the carnage horrific to see and terrified to know what we can do. 💔💔💔💔💔
