  • Don't look away from the sexual violence of the Hamas on October 7th | Tikva International

    Don't look away from the sexual violence of the Hamas on October 7th Download YouTube 2023-12-06 (#188) < Previous Next > ****** TRIGGER WARNING: The film contains verbal evidence of severe sexual violence ****** After almost two months of global denial of the horrors of the October 7th massacre, this week began an awakening and recognition of the war crimes and the unimaginable sexual violence of Hamas. Last night, on Jake Tapper's show, in front of tens of millions of Americans on CNN, he broadcast one of the most important investigations broadcast to the world since the beginning of the war 🇺🇸 It's not an easy movie to watch, but it was broadcast on American television and we decided it was important to translate and publish it here as well, despite the difficulty 📹 Video Transcription: Nearly two months after the October 7 attacks, the international community is finally beginning to investigate and recognize reports of brutal and inhumane rapes and sexual assaults by Hamas terrorists torturing and terrorizing the people of Israel. For weeks, Israeli police have been collecting eyewitness testimony, video, and forensic evidence detailing countless accounts of rape and sexual assault perpetrated by terrorists on Israeli women and children. And for weeks, there has been very little outcry or condemnation from the international community, including from the United Nations. There are exactly no circumstances that justify rape. None. Rape is targeted. Rape is terror. Rape is torture doesn't just strike fear in the hearts of Israeli women. It strikes fear in the hearts of every woman and girl around the globe. The chief superintendent of the Israeli police read numerous accounts of the atrocities witnessed by survivors and first responders. Everything was an apocalypse of corpses. Girls without any clothes on, without tops, without underwear. There were girls with a broken pelvis due to repetitive rapes. Another testimony from the race party survivor women without clothes, some without the upper body clothes, some without the lower body clothes, blood over the lower body. Everyone was full of blood, and videos were played from a first responder, a paramedic, and a survivor of the music festival, detailing firsthand what they experienced. There was a body of a woman that had a bloodstain on her genitalia. There was a lot of gun wounds there. Shooting was targeted at sexual organs. We saw that a lot. The women we received, they were civilian. We mainly saw either breast amputations or gunshots just to the breast. They were conscious when they got to us. They laid a woman down, and I understand that he's raping her. He's basically shifting her position, and then they pass her on to another person. Was she alive, the girl they raped? Yes, she was alive. Another survivor of the attack describes seeing a horrific rape at the Nova Music Festival to London's Sunday Times. I saw this beautiful woman with the face of an angel, an eight or ten of the fighters beating and raping her. She was screaming, Stop it already. I'm going to die anyway from what you're doing. Just kill me. When they finished, they were laughing, and the last one shot her in the head. Do we believe the Hamas spokesperson who said that rape is forbidden, therefore it couldn't have possibly happened on October 7? Or do we believe the women whose bodies tell us how they spent the last minutes of their lives? Who are we going to believe? The Israeli government says there are still 17 women and children who are either still being held by Hamas or are missing, that most of those women are in their teens or twenties. You saw being kidnapped, and she had a bloody stain soaking her pants between her legs. And if you are worried about what Hamas might be doing with these women in their teens and twenties, yuo are not alone. Sources tell me that this is, in fact, a big fear among top Israeli officials.

  • Hamas Fears Women's Accounts of Their Treatment in Captivity. | Tikva International

    Hamas Fears Women's Accounts of Their Treatment in Captivity. Download YouTube 2023-12-04 (#181) < Previous Next > State Dept. Spokesperson Says Hamas Didn't Release All Women Hostages Fearing What They'd Say About Treatment in Captivity. State Department Spokesperson Matt Miller tells reporters one of the reasons Hamas didn't release all its women hostages is because the group didn't want them relaying what happened to them while in captivity in Gaza. Miller also says the U.S. doesn't doubt reports of rape, which he labeled "atrocities" and says the U.S. has still to independently verify some of the reports. Video Transcription: Thank you. Going back to your answer to the question about the reports of rape of Israeli women by Hamas and use of sexual violence as a war crime, as a weapon of war, you said, we've seen Hamas commit atrocities. We obviously condemn atrocities, but you didn't use the words rape or sexual violence. And I'm wondering if there's a reason for that, for not a more explicit condemnation of rape. Look, only because we haven't made an independent assessment our own. We've obviously seen the reports that Hamas has committed sexual violence. They've committed rape. We have no reason at all to doubt those reports. When you look at all the atrocities that Hamas carried out on October 7 and the atrocities that they have carried out since, the fact that they continue to hold women hostages, the fact that they continue to hold children. Hostages. The fact that it seems one of the reasons they don't want to turn women over that they've been holding hostage, and the reason this pause fell apart is they don't want those women to be able to talk about what happened to them during their time in custody. Certainly, there is very little that I would put beyond Hamas when it comes to its treatment of civilians and particularly its treatment of women.

  • Claiming Hamas is freedom fighter? | Tikva International

    Claiming Hamas is freedom fighter? Download YouTube 2023-10-24 (#031) < Previous Next > To those of you claiming that Hamas are freedom fighters fighting for their land, here's a bit of history: before 1948, the territory was called Palastina because the Roman Emperor Hadrian expelled the Jews and erased the name Judea, changing it to Syria-Palastina which evolved to Palestine. Can all of those claiming there was once a state of Palestine name its President, say what kind of army it had, name its Prime Minister? Unlikely because there was never a state called Palestine. The Jewish people are not colonialists in land of Israel. Israel is, in fact 3000 years old. In 2005, Israel completely evacuated all Jews from Gaza, thereby giving the Gazans sovereignty. So, by UN protocols, Israel owes Gaza nothing. But Israel kept on supplying electricity, food, water out of humanitarinism and it was all paid for by Israeli tax payers. Why should Israel continue supporting a terror state that wants to destroy it? Video Transcription: Coming soon

  • US public schools allegedly teach antisemitism | Tikva International

    US public schools allegedly teach antisemitism Download YouTube 2023-12-21 (237) < Previous Next > Free Press investigation reveals troubling antisemitic teachings in U.S. public schools, including the "Brown University Choices Program," which allegedly indoctrinates one million secondary school students across all 50 states. The report exposes a curriculum portraying Israel as a "Zionist enterprise in Palestine," an "apartheid state," a "settler colony," and a military occupier. A journalist at the Free Press, Francesca Block, joins “On Balance” to share her reporting. Video Transcription: half of Young Americans half of Young Americans support Hamas in the war against Israel that brought chance like this to high schools around America from the river to the sea Palestine will be free from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea that eliminates Israel where would kids learn that? well, the Free Press found some answers about where they're Lear it how us Public Schools teach anti-Semitism from prek lessons on ethnic noses to lectures on Israel as an apartheid state students are learning that Jews are the enemy the article is written by Franchesca block it exposes Brown University's choices program educates students on how Israel is a Zionist Enterprise in Palestine an apartheid state a settler Colony a military occupier this is being taught in all 50 states to a million Secondary School students so now the chance makes sense images out of California on your left Gaza on your right, while American students aren't being taught Guerilla Warfare to kill Israelis while they're still in kindergarten that happens in Gaza both sets of children are learning to hate Jews. this is an interview we had last week with a father from Connecticut whose son had to switch schools because he was being bullied for being Jewish we got uh uh mean text messages that were very unfriendly that accused us of causing the problem as if it was our fault that someone had said to my son you should go to Camp Auschwitz exterminate all of the Jews, the school administration not only tried to buy our silence they tried to buy my son's silence Franchesca block reporter at the Free Press joins us now Franchesca congrats on the Great Piece we appreciate it they can find it uh on my Twitter account and I know uh on the freepress.com uh as well question to you what happened to teaching kids 2 plus 2 equals 4 in kindergarten thanks so much for having me on and that is a great question question um what I can tell you is that right now what we're seeing in public schools in America is new curriculum which encourages students to divide the world in a simplistic binary, to divide the world between the oppressor and the oppressed and this is having profound consequences for Jews for Jewish students a recent poll just came out that said 67% of young people aged 18 to 24 now view Jews as oppressors as the oppressor class and believe they should be treated as such and that's not too far away from many of the anti-semitic tropes that have plagued Jews for hundreds of years H uh this is uh from California 10th grade history course approved by the Santa Ana Unified School District from your reporting includes readings that call Israel an extremist illegal Jewish set settler population and accuse the country of ethnic cleansing uh the Unified School District our goal is to ensure that our curriculum offers balanced and multiple perspectives from all groups involved in the Israel Palestinian conflict we aim to achieve this through an ongoing dialogue with community members by utilizing historical and academic content that aderes to All State Department of Education guidelines um that seems to say something just not answering the actual question did you find balance in this I I can't try to figure out what the balance to Israel is a you know apartheid state that engages in ethnic cleansing and an illegal Jewish settler population that that's exactly right many Jewish parents families organizations that were involved in opposing this curriculum brought out that exact point that it doesn't come across as balanced and that it does paint this one-sided perspective that is again leading to these ideas that real quick forgive me forgive me for interrupting you um but I I want to be fair about this this isn't just rogue teachers, right? in some cases it is in Oakland for example teachers they organized a teaching in their schools that was not approved by the district in which they gave lessons about the Israeli Palestinian conflict that were not approved um but in Santa Ana for example this is actually a course that was approved by the school board and there's actually now a pending lawsuit against the school board for um approving this curriculum parents and the ADL actually are involved as well as the brandise center in saying that they didn't go through the correct processes to get this curriculum approved thanks for watching go to join nn.com to find newsnation on your tele provider and don't forget to click the red subscribe button below to get more of news nation's fact driven unbiased coverage

  • Understanding the reasons behind the events of October 7th. | Tikva International

    Understanding the reasons behind the events of October 7th. Download YouTube 2023-12-15 (211) < Previous Next > Today I was among the journalists who have attended a private screening of the raw footage of October 7th and I want to express to you what I saw since it’s not been made public. It’s been a very heavy day. A decision was made that Jews are less than human, and treated that way in words and deeds..I now know that’s exactly the message Hamas sent on purpose — at scale. I wasn’t aware of that before. I saw bodies were burned but I did not understand or appreciate how intentional the effort was - they did it methodically, you hear it in the voices, the commands the ease, the excitement of finding and mutilating victims. Video Transcription: Like I said, today s been a heavy day because three of us went to the israeli consulate to watch some of the footage that we've never seen. These images and media, a lot of it raw, some of it, they did some editing, too, to identify things of what happened in the massacre on October 7th. 47 Minutes long. Now, some of it I have seen before, and you can find it online. A lot more than I expected was new to me. And again, I do believe people should see this. I understand the sensitivity of the families. I understand the concern that if you don't want to believe that October 7 happened, well, then it doesn't matter what you see. But I do believe for many. For many, that there's an aspect of this that I don't think we appreciate. I realized something that I had missed before. Okay. It took me immediately and deeply into a past trauma, the exact feeling that I had when I learned why 911 happened. Terrorists targeted the twin Towers and Washington DC, to take out the great symbols that represent America. The method was not madness. They were sane. They were just evil. But the method was a message. Their unholy efforts triggered what America's feared most. Terrorists, robbing us of who and what we are about at home. And so they got what they asked for. The wrath of a people united in a common fear and concern that it is us or it is them. Existential. We went after those who took credit where we could. Used warplanes, drones, missiles, every kind of weapon and warrior we have to kill active enemies, those who hid the complicit, the sympathetic, and sometimes even often at points, the innocent. That's the truth. And if there had been social media, then I don't know how public opinion at home would have been different. But the fact that they hit us where it hurt, that's what mattered most. So if an enemy wanted to make sure that Israel would come for them, the message would be, we're going to take children, women, innocents, and more, tie them up and burn them alive. Just like the holocaust. The ultimate fear of what the World can bring. The Jews way. When a decision is made that Jews are less than human and treated that way in words and deeds, I now know that is exactly the message Hamas sent on purpose, at scale. And I was not aware of that before. I had seen that bodies had been burned, but I did not understand or appreciate how intentional the effort was. They did it methodically. You hear it in the voices, the commands, the ease, the excitement of finding and mutilating victims. Being told, let them play with it. Merely murdering innocence was the least of it. Of course, you see that, and you can see that anywhere in the world these days. People pointing weapons, shooting the innocent, shooting people running away, shooting women, shooting the defenseless, people scared out of their minds about what's happening. This was not death from above. It was death in your face, hands on and personal. They enjoyed mutilating and went back and celebrated in the streets with heads and bloody corpses as trophies. This was absolute genocide. That is a word that people are misapplying. And this is where it does apply. Even more important to the terrorists, apparently, was what they left behind. Charred reminders of a holocaust. The obvious desire to see as many jews utterly destroyed as possible. Families melted together on purpose. And yes, there are women dead, bloody groins, twisted, disfigured legs. The IDF says this is not a morbid coincidence. It's a part of a pattern of rape and torture. 47 minutes is just a fraction of the dead. But it is overwhelming that Hamas wanted war. This was not the irrepressible angst of the desperate who want freedom, who want better, nor certainly want anything approximating peace. They wanted the Jews to know that. They want them to burn again. And it makes it clear that Israel. Here's why it matters. I now understand better what is fueling Israel. This is not tit for tat. This is not. You did to us and now might will make right. They are fueled by the deepest fears of genocide, because those fears are real. I am not trying to erase or in any way mitigate the massive death toll of civilians in Gaza or diminish the obvious need for the violence to stop. If anything, after seeing this video today, there is an increased urgency to avoid what could still come. Because this could get much worse. When people have been given reason to believe it is you or them, they are capable of anything. And while people are moved to absolute outrage by what they see, I'm telling you, Israel is doing far less than it could. It is easy to say stop. I'm saying it. Everybody's saying it. It is very hard to say how? Why? Because seeing what the terror group in charge of Palestine did to the Jews and has promised to do. Again, how do you ask Israel to risk being vulnerable to those who do not honor agreements and have made it very clear they don't want peace, they want to burn and kill the Jews. That's why it's so hurtful and people are so hair triggered when people say things in protests here in America that maybe they don't mean that way, maybe they don't see that context. But the people on the other side of the propaganda do the suggestion, well, here's what you do. You stop bombing, use commandos. How does that not suggest to Israel, you have to do this in a way that Hamas can kill more of you. You have to reduce your advantage. All right. But you also have to stop bombing because aid has to get in. Will Hamas allow it in? Oh, yes, they have. That's not the sum total of the reports that we get. They have not let aid organizations get in to see the hostages and to help them. And they have a history of diverting and taking aid that was meant for others and other things. It's not about numbers. It is about Israel being shown its worst fears can be realized because they were so knowing that and understanding it and understanding our own history with what we did in response to a threat that was nowhere as real and present as what Israel is facing, what do we do to make it stop? Let's bring in former State Department Middle east negotiator Aaron David Miller and former CNN international correspondent, founder of the Relief Network. For those of you who care about the kids who are left in despair by this war, go to Inara in A-R-A. Arwademon founded it. It does the work of helping the people who survive.

    Facts matter & the meaning of words matter. Download YouTube 2023-11-13 (#118) < Previous Next > Donald Trump created a reality where truth was subjective and the meaning of words doesn't matter. This has resulted in all kinds of crazy things, like a radical Islamist Nazi death cult. The "Free Palestine" supporters are the new Trump supporters. They misuse words like apartheid, colonialism and Zionism because they don't know what they mean and call a war a genocide because they are not being intellectually honest about reality. Words have definitions and when you misuse them and lie, it's dangerous. Video Transcription: Donald Trump created a reality where truth was subjective and the meaning of words doesn't matter. And now that that's happened, all sorts of crazy things can occur. Like young liberal people rooting for a radical Islamic Nazi death cult. That's right. Free Palestine. You're the new Trump supporters. If you watch one TikTok from some self righteous purple haired girl who thinks that Israel is evil and shouldn't exist, and you believe her, then you're just as bad as some crazy boomer uncle who believes a chain email that Obama is a Muslim robot. When you misuse words like apartheid, colonialism, Zionism, because you don't know what they mean, when you call a war a genocide, there is no way to have an honest conversation about how to solve a problem because you're not being intellectually honest about reality like a Trump supporter. But it feels like a genocide. And my feelings are true. So that means it's true. It's a word. It has a definition. And when you misuse words and you mischaracterize reality and you lie like a Trump supporter, you're putting Jewish people's lives at risk. Thank believe. When this war is over, most of you will never even think about this issue again because you don't actually care about it. It's a virtue signaling hashtag to you. And even though I can't be certain about that, it certainly feels true.
