- Former hostage talks about Hamas sex crimes | Tikva International
Former hostage talks about Hamas sex crimes Download YouTube 2024-02-14 (297) < Previous Next > 'He held a gun to her head and started kissing her, she started crying': Former hostage talks about Hamas sex crimes The documentary 'Screams Before Silence' by ex-Meta exec Sheryl Sandberg presents the testimony of Agam Goldstein-Almog, 17, who tells of a conversation she had while held hostage in Gaza with another young woman: 'She told me that he took off her all her clothes, and never put his gun away from her head' "Every time we talked about it, at least one of the girls said that they had suffered sexual and physical abuse," according to former Hamas hostage Agam Goldstein-Almog, 17. Agam was released from Hamas captivity with her mother, Chen, and her younger brothers Gal, 11, and Tal,9, after 51 days in Hamas captivity, testifies in a new film dealing with the sex crimes of Hamas terrorists on October 7 about the horrors she was exposed to in Gaza. I talked to one of them one evening and I asked her how they treated her, what she had been through. She started crying and I cried with her," as she told the teen about being sexually assaulted, Agam told Sheryl Sandberg, former COO of the Meta company, who filmed in Israel the documentary film "Screams Before Silence." Last week, Sandberg completed the filming of the documentary film which presents evidence of the acts of rape and sexual assault committed by the terrorists on Israeli women and girls. In an attempt to raise global awareness of the extent of the atrocities committed by Hamas, Sandberg came to Israel and interviewed, among others, freed hostages, ZAKA volunteers and police officers, medical and forensic experts, and survivors of the massacre. Agam, who has already described the enormous difficulties of captivity in Gaza several times in speeches and interviews, also told the creator of the new film. She met several women being held hostage in Gaza. "They all talked about their kidnapping. Where she was kidnapped from, what they did to her, what she saw. Each was kidnapped from a different place. That's when we learned that some of them were held alone. They said that no one was being held alone. Only in pairs. But some of them were alone for the entire time," she said. When asked by Sandberg what the girls she met in captivity told her, Agam replied: "I talked to one of them one evening and I asked her how they treated her, what she had been through. She started crying and I cried with her. We were crying together and then she started telling me. He told her on the last day, she was being moved to a different place. She was staying in an apartment with one guard. He told her that they had to move. 'Go get ready. Go wash yourself at the sink.'" "She went into the bathroom and washed her armpit and then he came into the bathroom and held a gun to her head. he started kissing her and she started crying. She told me 'you know how when you cry your mouth is like this? This is what it was like, but he wouldn't stop kissing me.' He took off all her clothes and touched her all over her body. He asked her to touch his genitals in different ways and he also touched hers. She told me that she couldn't stop crying and that he wouldn't stop doing what he was doing. He enjoyed it. For 30 minutes the gun was pointed at her head," according to Agam. "She had no choice. I asked her, 'did you do it? Did you do what he asked you to do?' She said 'what do you mean? Of course, I had no other option.' He never put his gun away from her head. And then he told her to 'go get dressed' and he left the bathroom," the teen recounted. "They went back to the living room. She told me that her ears were ringing and she couldn't stop crying, she was in shock. And they moved her to a different place and she never saw him again. He told her not to tell anybody." The CNN host asked Sandberg why she decided to direct the film. "When the evidence began to emerge after October 7, the silence was deafening even though it was clear that acts of rape and sexual violence had been committed. We must not allow silence and cover-up of such acts anywhere in the world. People denied and refused to admit that Hamas indeed committed such acts, and therefore the film will give them an opportunity to see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears from survivors about the horrors that took place and how the victims suffered in the last minutes of their lives," Sandberg replied. Sandberg spoke about the people she met in Israel during the filming. "The people in Israel are broken as only in Israel they can be broken, and at the same time they are strong and powerful as only Israelis can be." Video Transcription:
- The suffering of innocent people has to stop❗️ | Tikva International
The suffering of innocent people has to stop❗️ Download YouTube 2023-10-29 (#054) < Previous Next > Innocent people in Gaza are suffering and the number of deaths is rising. Unfortunately, conveying Western morals and values on the conflict is not realistic. Morals around the world in places such as Brazil, Sudan, Nigeria, Iran and Afghanistan are different. They act according to what they've been taught. Hamas' morals consist of civilian murder and kidnapping (awarding prizes for kidnapping), stomping on people's faces, decapitation, raping women (including dead women) and killing babies although this is against Muslim laws. They're willing to sacrifice everything, including their own people, in order to achieve their goal of eradicating all Israeli Jews. Their defense tactics: Hamas fighters shield themselves in underground tunnels under civilian areas, putting their headquarters under Gaza's biggest and main hospital. They stole fuel from the U.N. base in order for the tunnels to have ventilation and power. They manufacture rockets and keep them in the tunnels, and then launch them from civilian areas such as schools, mosques and even U.N. buildings. Their rockets are poorly designed and some backfire. Only about 5% directly hit civilians in Israel. In the first 2 weeks of the war, Hamas launched over 7200 missiles. How can they afford all this? Gaza receives billions of dollars from the U.N., Qatar, Iran and a variety of humanitarian organizations around the world. It all goes to Hamas and Hamas chooses what to do with the money. This does not include electricity, water and fuel, medecine, food and cement all of which they have got from Israel on a regular base for the past 16 years. All of that could have been used for the wellbeing of the Gazan civilians. Israel, on the other hand, seeks to protect its civilians with Iron Dome and shelters, but missiles still hit civilians. Missile launching from Gaza must be stopped! But the launching sites are underground and in civilian areas, so Israel, in an attempt to avoid civilian casualties, calls the people, send messages and broadcasts on TV 24 hours before to warn them of the time and the location of the airstrike to come and advising them to leave. Most Israelis have only 15 seconds...In the current war, Israel has also designated safe areas where civilians can get electricity, water and fuel. 120,000 Israelis were displaced from their homes, as were resident of Northern Gaza trying to flee. But Hamas blocked them physically with trucks and soldiers, sometimes killing those attempting to go south for "submitting to Israel's orders". If Israel stops bombing, Hamas will continue their land attack and Israelis will continue to die. How many Israelis? According to Hamas charter: all of them. Therefore, Israel can't wait for them to fight morally or fairly or to respect another ceasefire after they violated the last 4, or to care about the Gazan people after having sacrificed them for the past 16 years. Israel must stop Hamas! Video Transcription: Coming soon
- "Once upon a time, the Middle East was full of Jews..." | Tikva International
"Once upon a time, the Middle East was full of Jews..." Download YouTube 2023-12-03 (#177) < Previous Next > Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of the UN Watch. was asking the Arab countries in 2017 a simple question: "Where are your Jews?" Video Transcription: You. Thank you, Mr. President. Israel's, 1.5 million Arabs, whatever challenges they face, enjoy full rights to vote and to be elected in the Knesset. They work as doctors and lawyers. They serve on the Supreme Court. Now I'd like to ask the members of that commission that commissioned that report, the Arab states from which we just heard, egypt, Iraq and the others. How many Jews live in your countries? How many Jews lived in Egypt, Iraq? Jordan, Kuwait, lebanon? Libya, Morocco? Once upon a time, the Middle East was full of Jews. Algeria had 140,000 Jews. Algeria. Where are your Jews? Egypt used to have 75,000 Jews. Where are your Jews? Syria. You had tens of thousands of Jews. Where are your Jews? Iraq. You had over 135,000 Jews. Where are your Jews? Mr. President? Where is the real apartheid? Why is there a UN commission on the Middle East that does not include Israel? From the 1960s and the 70s? They refuse to include Israel. Where is the apartheid? Mr. President? Mr. President, why are we meeting today on an agenda item? Singling out only one state, the Jewish state, for targeting. Where is the apartheid? Mr. President. We continue with the United Nations. Watch. Mr. President, one year ago in this chamber, I asked the Arab states a simple question where are your Jews? My question was met with dead silence. Millions of people worldwide watched the video, witnessing for themselves the hypocrisy and double standards that characterizes much of what is said and done here today. I have come to provide the answer to my question. Algeria, iraq. Syria. Egypt. Lebanon. Yemen. Libya. Your Jews fled as refugees after suffering persecution and deadly pogroms like the farhud of Baghdad in 1941. Fortunately, countries like Israel, the US. Canada, France and others opened their doors, offering citizenship and equal rights. These Jewish refugees from Arab lands, whose suffering and losses the UN has never addressed, put their hardship behind them and built great lives for their families. Now, let us contrast this with the situation of those descended from Arab refugees who fled the area of British Mandatory Palestine during the invasion of Nascent Israel by Arab armies. What is holding them back? The answer is simple. Palestinians are the only population in the world not eligible for services by the UN refugee agency. Instead, these descendants are governed by UNRA, which holds generation after generation trapped in refugee camps, denied integration in the Arab countries they were born in, and denied resettlement elsewhere. Some of UNRA's donors are waking up to the problem. As Swiss Foreign Minister has recently put it, by supporting UNRA, we are only keeping the conflict live. I thank you, Mr. President.

- The international community silence is unacceptable! | Tikva International
The international community silence is unacceptable! Download YouTube 2024-02-13 (296) < Previous Next > Why do you think the international community, generally speaking, has remained so silent and not even taking a position or acknowledging that these attacks occurred? I mean, that's been the thing that I think has upset me and so many people. I think what happened is that this moment was so polarized that while people were upset about the sexual violence, they were afraid to speak out. And we need to separate these things. No matter what you think should happen in Israel, no matter what you think should happen anywhere on any political decision stage, what matters is that sexual violence is never tolerated. And that means speaking out against it. That interview I did with Agam, I mean, she's this beautiful 18 year old girl living on a kibbutz, dedicated to peace, like Kibbutzes, is very peace loving community. The people who believe in two states, who believe in peace with their neighbors. And it was a normal day, and she watched her father killed in front of her. Then she watched her sister killed in front of her. Then she and her mother and two younger brothers were driven to Gaza, where they remained for over 50 days as hostages. And the stuff she shared was the stories she heard from other female hostages of things that were happening in captivity. And therefore, we should all be very afraid they're still happening today. And that's unacceptable. No matter what else you think should happen. There's no 18 year old girl in the world who should have her world destroyed that way, who should be held as a hostage, who should be subject to, or other people held are subject to that kind of sexual assault. It's unacceptable!

- CNN’s Jake Tapper is genuinely asking what Hamas leaders were thinking. | Tikva International
CNN’s Jake Tapper is genuinely asking what Hamas leaders were thinking. Download YouTube 2023-11-10 (#104) < Previous Next > Thousands of people around the world are protesting and calling for a ceasefire, decrying the humanitarian crisis and the loss of life. Those against the ceasefire claim it will help Hamas. Queen Rania dismisses that saying that to reject a ceasefire is to endorse the death of innocent civilians. When Hamas brutally attacked Israel on October 7th, the question arises as to what they thought the Israeli response would be. Did they not anticipate that Israel would retaliate in a way that would cause innocent Palestinians in Gaza to die, especially since it has been unequivacally proven that Hamas embeds itself in the civilian population? Hamas' reponse to that question is an eye-opener: "No nation is liberated without sacrifces". That is not an expression of regret for the loss of Palestinian lives. When another Hamas leader was asked why they hadn't built bomb shelters for the people although they built 500 kilometers of tunnels. The reply was that tunnels are for the protection of Hamas,and because 75% of the Palestians in Gaza are refugees, it is the responsibility of the U.N. to protect them. The argument for a ceasefire is that it would allow for supplies to come in. Hillary Clinton begs to differ: "people calling for a ceasefire do not understand Hamas...it would be a gift to Hamas...they would spend the time...to rebuild their armaments, creating stronger positions". Another Hamas official said that Hamas would repeat its actions again and again and is ready to pay the price, is proud to sacrifice martyrs for the cause. Hamas is the government of Gaza and officially claims that the loss of Palestinian lives is the cost of liberation and that it's not their responsibility to protect the people there. Israel hears the calls for a ceasefire but hears no proposal from anyone in the international community how it will to get back the 240 hostages kidnapped by Hamas or how Hamas should be removed from the leadership of Gaza.
