“My article shows new evidence of Gazan savagery: even very young children and women participated in the Israeli pogrom. The assumed innocence of most Gazans must be questioned.” [Madeline Brooks]
Westerners must understand the undiluted savagery of the Gazastinians
It is gut-wrenching to have to revisit the events of October 7 in southern Israel. But new evidence emerges that should shake our foundational thinking about Gazan civilians’ presumed innocence.
The Free Beacon has collected survivor reports. One of the survivors filmed the attacks:
Eyal Barad and his family hid in the safe room of their house from about 6:30 a.m. until the Israeli military evacuated them 12 or so hours later. But Barad, an engineer, had a rare view of the outside world thanks to a speed camera he had recently set up to bust his neighbors for driving on the sidewalk.
On the camera’s livestream, Barad watched three types of Gazans pass by his house: uniformed Hamas commandos carrying automatic weapons, RPGs, and grenades; casually dressed gunmen; and ordinary-looking men, women, and children. Barad said the ordinary Gazans vastly outnumbered the armed terrorists. He estimated that he saw at least a dozen children, who were between the ages of 10 and 15, and 30 women from Gaza. {snip]
“I can say with 100 percent certainty that [the women and kids] were not just innocent bystanders or looters. They were part of the massacre. They were part of the horrors that we endured that day.”
A mother describes hiding in her safe room with her children while a Gaza woman spent hours eating her food, serving meals to the Gazan men, and stealing the Israeli woman’s personal items, including her underwear.
Another survivor says he saw children between six and ten wearing Hamas military outfits, riding with a group of Hamas commandos. (my emphasis). Some of the boys were given rifles and told to kill the Israelis, which they did. The combatants’ young age would be surprising if one were not aware of how early military training begins in Gaza. In this video, we watch kindergartners execute a complex takeover of an Israeli outpost by killing a soldier. It is a graduation ceremony, and we see the whole family in proud attendance:
Tender-hearted people plead that these women and children are innocent. They are merely ‘brainwashed” and can be re-educated. Maybe. Perhaps some can.
But that argument makes the mistake of projecting one’s own values onto others, whose values may be substantially, and unchangeably, different. In this case, the decency and respect for human life that characterizes non-Muslims get projected onto a military/religious organization that values success at jihad more than anything else—more than one’s own life and certainly more than regard for an enemy’s life.
That sadistic contempt for Israeli life is displayed very ominously in a movie showing the October 7 atrocities that was watched by a vast audience of Gazan men in, of all places, the al Shifa hospital. The Gazans cheered wildly. So much for the notion that hospitals are only about saving lives:
The uproarious delight of the entertained jihadis should be chilling. Consequently, Israel and her supporters must think realistically about what to do with the Gazans—and their hideous ideology—once they win the war. [american thinker]

Should Israel Spare the Gazan “Innocents”?
By Madeline Brooks*
As the world knows, or very tellingly, should know, the Israeli Defense Force goes to great lengths to spare the lives of Gazans presumed innocent. In the moral smog of war, this important fact is usually overlooked by the international crowd of Israel critics.
The IDF gave abundant warning to Gazans with leaflets and even phone calls to go to the south of Gaza, out of the immediate war zone. Some Gazans did head south, waving white flags and getting shot at by their own Hamas government. Others stayed, even though they were offered a substantial reward and a safe place to live if they cooperated in getting the hostages out.
Just who is Israel sparing? The sixteen year old boy who at this moment does not have a rifle in his hand, although his school books teach him to hate Jews? Hordes of “civilian” young men, out of uniform, who nevertheless swarmed into southern Israel on October 7 after the uniformed jihadis to rape, behead and burn Jewish families? How about the mother who sings her child to sleep with lullabies about killing Israelis, or the young girl engaged to a jihadi, egging him on?
Most horribly, a huge crowd of military age Gazan men were shown a movie of the massacres of Jews on October 7. This was the same video put together by the IDF from the cameras of the terrorists. Somehow the video got into the Gazans’ hands and was shown at al Shifa hospital. When Israeli journalists watched the video, many were so upset they vomited or sobbed uncontrollably. What did the Gazans do? They cheered. They roared their approval. Allahu Akbar.
Please watch the reaction of the Gazanspresumed innocent starting at the 18:05 minute mark and repeated at the 32:36 minute mark.
.These are among the creatures that the IDF may have been trying to spare, even at the cost of their own lives since the whole area could have been bombed so thoroughly from above that it would be turned into a parking lot, with no escape from the tunnels. Such was the sentiment among some at the start of the war. Instead, the IDF is engaged in a prolonged building to building fight, which puts its own soldiers at great risk, all to spare presumed innocents.
Does it make sense to spare one’s enemies whose blood lust gets fed by reliving what they did to Israelis a month ago – what they can and will do again when they see more weakness? Since Israel’s inception, every time its guard went down and it trusted its sworn enemies, it paid a terrible price in blood.
Sadly, and adding to the complexity of it all, there are some Gazans who reject Hamas and are willing to describe its horrors to an Israeli, as seen in this video. These Gazans had to flee to Europe to be able to speak freely about Hamas without getting their legs broken or getting killed. One of them speaks of friends still in Gaza who hate Hamas as much as he does.
Yet if Israel goes down, diaspora Jews will have very hard lives. More than that, the rest of the world will be faced with a “barbarism that has no place in the modern world” as Isaac Herzog, Israel’s president, said in an open letter to university administrators.
Across the planet, protests are going on to stop the bombing and spare the “innocent” civilians. That would mean protecting the terrorists-in-waiting that we see in the hospital’s movie audience. Protests by the keffiyeh kiddos inspire the jihad and bring in fresh recruits, as well as putting pressure on weak government officials to stop Israel from fully defending herself.
Israel could have taken the Joshua option, eliminating all threats as in the Old Testament books of Deuteronomy and Joshua. But it has chosen a softer approach, one that may bring more war upon its head in the future, and still no world acceptance. As we see, anti Israel and anti Jewish protests began even before Israel went into Gaza, and grow stronger everyday. Hate has a life of its own. Holding back on war efforts has no apparent effect on rage against Jews.
Any other country would be widely praised for its self-sacrifice. But not Israel. Israel gets accused of committing genocide, a projection of what Hamas is clearly doing.
Israel has a hard choice to make: Dodge worldwide criticism or fight like Joshua and the Israelites in the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy, where the Almighty ordered the elimination of all who did not answer the call to surrender. Survival may only come by fighting Biblically. Granted, that sounds morally difficult in today’s climate, though it was practiced by the United States in Dresden, Germany and two Japanese cities during WWII.
Certainly, watching the video of Gazan men, who may be off duty jihadists, cheering as they watch their fellows chop, rape and burn other human beings…that should open new doors to careful thinking about Gazan innocents.

“I write about what could stop the bombing if they took responsibility for themselves, and I look at them through a family systems lens. They are like the very troubled child living off Daddy who wants to burn the house down. Let us not buy into their self pitying smokescreen.” MB

.The latest moral confusion about the Hamas/Gaza problem is whether or not to continue bombing. The plea is that civilians are innocent and must be spared. A mainstream TV broadcast showed a wide-eyed Gaza man saying, “I was as surprised as the Israelis by the October 7 attack. So why punish me with bombing?”
This is a message for you, Mr. Average Gazan, and any other Gazan like you. Here’s why Gaza is still being bombed.
First of all, it’s hard to know if you are telling the truth. The terrorists planning the attack acted for two years as if they were peaceful, all the while stockpiling weapons. Taqiyyah, or lying to your enemies, is endorsed in the Koran (3:28) and in other Muslim writings. An apparent peacemaker, Hamas official Ghazi Hamad, who was responsible for the Gilad prisoner exchange, turned out to be totally treacherous. While fooling the leftist chump he bargained with, Hamad talked about negotiating peace. Now Hamad shows his true colors, vowing to repeat the October 7 massacre over and over until Israel is eliminated, as Caroline Glick points out.
Also, Mr. Ordinary Gazan, although you may not have known the exact date of the latest massacre, all Hamas has been screaming about is death to Israel from the start. So don’t play innocent.
Secondly, you have been receiving food, water, electricity, and medicine mostly from Israel, your so-called oppressor. Actually, Israel has been your daddy, and you have let yourself live like a ward of the state — a supremely ungrateful ward. When Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005, it left you orchards and sophisticated greenhouses, which produced income for the Jews who developed them and could have for you, too. But you tore them down out of spite. You also could have developed your beautiful beaches into profitable resorts. There was no Israeli “occupation” preventing your economic development, since Israel was not there. But Hamas was, and you apparently accepted Hamas’s dictatorial, one-party control.
Wake up to how your Islamist leaders have been taking international money that was meant for you and using it for their own luxurious living as well as for secret armaments. That is a big part of why you are poor.
Thirdly, Israel has offered peace to you on multiple occasions, but you preferred war, and a continuation of your hostile dependency. Looking at this mess from a family systems dynamic, you are the deeply troubled child refusing to help himself, relying totally on others to support him, and staying emotionally and financially crippled, taking pride not in accomplishments, but in destruction. Beyond that is your insane conviction that your host country must die, even as you bite the hand that feeds you. Apparently, neither you nor the world has noticed yet how untenable your demands are. You have successfully put up a smokescreen of self-pity and victim hood, which does nothing to help you getting well.
Playing the victim card right now, begging the world to make Israel stop the war, is a continuation of the smokescreen, giving Hamas more time to get strong and renew the attacks it has announced it will resume.
Fourthly, Gazans owe the world and especially Israelis an apology for all of the above. You must declare that you reject Hamas’s goal to kill all the Jews and take over Israel and the world. Tell the worldwide “hate Jews” movement yelling in support of you that it’s time for them to grow up, too. If you, Mr. Average Gazan, really want the bombing to stop, you must cooperate with Israel and help the Israelis find Hamas operatives and weapons caches, and whatever else will help the Israeli war effort.
In short, Gazans must take full responsibility for their support of Hamas and do all they can to disable it. Otherwise, Israel has no good reason to stop the bombing. You, Mr. Average Gazan, have been given the benefit of the doubt as an innocent victim. And you have shown you don’t deserve it.
Prove otherwise. Work now with Israel to halt the war and then develop a peaceful way of life. Or get bombed. The choice is yours.
Will this happen? Not very likely. But it is the moral path forward. Stating it can help you get clear on your need to take responsibility for yourself. It can also help the guilt-ridden international community make a decision to no longer let themselves be manipulated by your endless irrationalities.
My Flickr slideshow from October 13, 2023, in Times Squarefocuses on the obnoxiousInternational Day of Action for “palestine”.
The “palis’ and their Commie supporters ALWAYS put on a good show. Posters, marches, chants. The media loves them. BUT what is MISSING?
These are LIES. ALL lies.
Adding two addendums that compliment Madeline’s post:
Seventy-five years ago, my husband’s family was part of Egypt’s flourishing Jewish community. After Israel’s establishment in 1948, their community was destroyed. Egyptian Jews fled anti-Jewish persecution or were expelled.
But, speaking to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi recently denied this well-documented history. Instead, he audaciously claimed:
“I grew up in a neighborhood side-by-side with the Jews of Egypt. They were never subject to any form of persecution whatsoever. They were never targeted in any way whatsoever…. Maybe they were targeted in Europe, in Spain, in other countries, but in our Arab and Islamic region, nothing like this ever happened.”
While astonishing that Sisi, the leader of a U.S. ally, would spread ahistorical propaganda — many on the extreme political left promote similar lies.
The reason is simple: Middle Eastern and North African Jews do not fit a neat narrative about Israel’s supposed evil as a symbol of Western colonialism. The culpability of Jews and the “eternal innocence” of those who brutally resist the West by murdering civilians does not allow for Jewish victimhood when the perpetrators are not white or European.
But the history of Jewish life under hundreds of years of Islamic rule paints a different picture.
Jews under Islamic regimes were dhimmi, or a “protected people of the book” permitted to live in Muslim societies. They were however subject to regulations, such as paying the jizyah tax levied on non-Muslims, exclusion from certain professions, restricted habitation in ghettos, and often forced to wear distinctive clothing meant to demonstrate submission to Muslims.
Even with this “protected” status, Jews were under threat as a minority. Fanatics who rejected tolerant Islam often perpetrated anti-Jewish violence, including the slaughter and expulsion of Jewish tribes in the 7th century, the Almohades’ persecution in the 12th century, 17th-century forced conversion of Jews in Isfahan and manifold other expulsions, massacres and forced conversions — all of which are often erased in historical retellings like Sisi’s.
Modern history of anti-Jewish violence by fundamentalist Islamists is also denied or ignored. Before Israel was established, more than 800,000 Jews lived across the Middle East and North Africa. After Israel’ s establishment, hundreds of thousands of Jews left, fled or were expelled from Islamic-majority countries, threatened by rising Arab anti-Jewish sentiment and violence.
This persecution — ironically — resulted in todays’ Israeli Jewish population whose majority is made up of “Brown” Mizrahi Jews, indisputably indigenous to the region even for those with a penchant for denying ancient Jewish ties to Israel. With a few exceptions, their families’ former countries have largely become Jew-free. Today, as a Jew, I cannot safely visit most of the countries that generations of my extended family once called home.
But why is anti-Jewish violence and antisemitism in both pre-modern and modern Middle East and North Africa denied or ignored?
The reason is simple. Erasing Middle Eastern Jewish history and historical oppression of Jews sets up a bedrock of falsehoods to support the justification for terror: The decolonization argument, the belief that Hamas’ terror serves as legitimate resistance to a colonizing power.
Proponents of this false theory argue that Zionism grew directly from Western colonialism. Jews who settled Israel are seen as white European colonizers who carry the West’s moral stains and re-victimize its Muslim innocents. The Holocaust, typically understood as a key event in the legitimization of Zionism, is construed as yet another crime of European colonialism that indirectly led to the persecution of Palestinians.
Seeing this conflict as merely a question of colonialism is based on historical lies and allows for grotesque moral conclusions.
First, any violence against Israelis is legitimized and becomes the fault of the colonizers — either Europeans or Jews themselves — but never fundamentalist Islamists who perpetrate them.
Second, Jews cease to be innocent civilians. Whether adults or babies, whether they support a two-state solution or not, whether Israelis or Jews living in countries outside of Israel, they are legitimate targets for “freedom fighters” engaged in a prolonged anti-colonial struggle.
This false narrative assumes that Israelis should be viewed strictly as colonizers and Palestinians strictly as their resisters. It assumes that fundamentalist Islamists bear no responsibility for their actions. It ignores anti-Jewish violence by Islamists around the world. It denies agency to the very people whom it claims to speak for — Palestinians. It assumes that if only Israel were to dismantle itself, Jews would live peacefully again in the Middle East.
The events of Oct. 7 — and their aftermath — show the utter folly of that idea.
Oct 29, 2023. Curtis Sliwa joined those who came out in a steady rain at Cooper Union to challenge the constant LIES that Hamas and the anti-Israel protestors feed to the media.
Curtis always supports the Israelis and Jews here at home with the current message BRING THEM HOME NOW!
Those who were able to endure the steady rain til the end left with flyers in a reusable shopping bag with tape, ready to do battle with the vandals who tear the kidnapped posters: They must be stopped!

4 pm. Oct 26, 2023. Duffy Square at 46th st and Bdway.
In the middle of Times Square I found 224 “Empty Tables/Empty Chairs” set for shabbat.
“On October 7th,2023, an unprecedented and horrifying attack against Israel was launched over Shabbat and the holiday of Shemini Atzeret.
ISRAEL IS AT WAR!
In times of crisis, we MUST stand together. While our hearts break for the wounded, kidnapped, and murdered and their families, we are proud that our community rallies to show our support.” [IAC Israel]
BRING THEM HOME NOW!
First slide show : The 224 places representing those held hostage by Hamas in Gaza, 30 of them are children. HOSTAGES of HAMAS. This is a CRIME against Humanity. Israel. And the Jews.
Flickr 2- Later, families of some of the hostages were going to speak. Meanwhile I took pictures of those present. It seemed to be many friends and families
Video 1- Walking around the empty chairs. The children’s tables. High chairs. baby bottles. The beautiful flowers and challah. It was a deeply moving experience particularly the children’s table where chairs were knocked over and little toy-bears were blind folded and torn apart.
Video 2- IAC Board Member, Tal Shusterwas the first speaker.
Tal was born and raised in Israel, serving three years as an Officer in the Israeli Army, Tal arrived in the United States to complete her studies and graduate from Rutgers. Tal and her husband Eyal Shuster, have four children and live in Jersey City.
She was followed briefly by a woman who held a list of the countries supporting “palestine”; the hatred and racism. [She was being interviewed on camera so she wasn’t on mic.]
Video 3- While IAC Council member, Aviv Ezra,Consul General of Israel to the Midwest, was being interviewed to my left, a woman to my right began a very loud, emotional statement. Everything stopped. She wanted everyone, the world, the city to hear her. She was so overwrought, that eventually she was given a supportive embrace to calm her down.
In the back ground of the video…. “Dear NY Times Words DO Break Bones …. ”
Update with links and 2 short videos addressing the continued support for Pali/Hamas.
This young woman, confronts the lies that support Hamas. The lost generations who know only the anti-Israel/ anti-Jewish agitprop should listen to her. (but…they won’t) “If you truly want PEACE, you Stand With Israel”
And Starbucks … What were you thinking?
Supporting HAMAS? Starbucks is on the WRONG side of the protest Game.
This was so unnecessary.

August 8, 2022 . NYC, 6 pm, across from Grand Central in front of “Friends of IDF “(Israel Defense Forces) headquarters. It was VERY hot. in the high 90s, but heat index much higher.
The SOCIALIST Revolution signs were leading the way as they assembled on the sidewalk outside 60 East 42nd st.
Flickr part 1-signs . lots of signs
Flickr Part 2- they begin with the anti Israel hate filled chants, that are repeated over and over, until their leader, Nerdeen Kiswani arrives.
Flickr Part 3- the crowd spilled in to the street and the police – as usual- simple adds barricades to protect the ‘palis’ and friends from passing cars. Cause these protestors are going to go wherever THEY want to go.
Video – Part 1 – a look at the crowd as they dutifully CHANT
Video Part 2- Nerdeen Kiswani takes over the chants. (a young protestor faints from the heat) BUT Nerdeen continues (after all-they have a trained MEDIC) They must keep going!
Video part 3 – Nerdeen Kiswani. The crowd loves here hate filled rhetoric. Always the start speaker. BUT, the very loud amps and her propensity to GROWL makes it difficult to record her every word clearly.
Thee were also a few pro-Israel/pro-IDF supporters across 42ndt. st.
But even those few were an annoyance to the ‘palis’ . SO, they sent a ‘fakestinian’ flag to stand beside them.

On May 11, 2021, Pro-Palestinian Rallies were held in cities world-wide, in the wake of another Israel-Hamas flare-up. Always claiming to be the victim, “palis” assembled and screamed for an eager media. (A late post, yes, but sadly the conflict goes on … )
The Emergency Rally for “palestine” was described as a “Mobilization to support “palestinian” resistance, return and liberation“. This was the largest protest of muzzies seen in quite awhile.
Fortunately, a pro-Israel counter-protest gathered across from the NYC Israeli Consulate. (the ‘palis’ were not allowed near the consulate.)
At first, the NYPD kept the ‘palis” in front of WPIX-11. Until the “palis”, like a fungus, spread across 42nd st blocking sidewalks and the street. The NYPD was confidently ignored.
As the fakenstinians chanted loudly from the south side of 42nd, lots of media covered their “Jews are evil colonizers” meme.
While”pali”-attorney, Lamis Deek, chatted up the police, she always appears to be the person-in-control. When it is time, Deek calls-the-shots
Seen here flipping off the Israelis, Deek shows how RUDE she really is.
The pali game-plan: pretend to do as arranged, knowing the police will handle the ‘fakers’ carefully, no matter what. Even so, victim-type theatrics accompanies their planned chaos.
Never failing to l the police know they do not support them is required.
6 short videos playlist
With Biden protecting them, they have no fear of the police, starting camera-savvy physical confrontations that the Israeli supporters did not accept quietly.
The NYPD tries to corral the Fakestinians. But they finally spilled into the street, blocking 42nd street traffic; the penultimate “invasion” before they marched west towards Times Square.
Part 1 Flickr – a lot of the anti-Israel signs and crowd
The two women leading the “pali” protest, included attorney, Lamis Deek [@Lamis_Deek] and activist, Nerdeen Kiswani [@NerdeenKiswani]
Lamis Deek “Human Rights Attorney, Activist, Strategist, Crisis Mgmt“
“I assure myself of only this, I never betrayed or acted or spoke to weaken the “palestinian” resistance to Zionist violence …”
“… palestinians” are so used to being defamed, demonized and abused everywhere, schools, courts, media and not just the news, work we have to remind ourselves to recognize it as abuse.“
Nerdeen Mohsen Kiswani (seen as they set up the protest) has called for violence against Israelis, celebrating terrorism, “It makes me sick to my stomach to see “palestinian” businesses in the U.S. promoted as a way to support “palestine”. How is making a business owner in the U.S. richer going to help the people of Gaza who are being slaughtered? The death of our people is not a business promotion.”
“Ethnic Cleansing. Genocide. Killing babies. U.S. moral obligation to support ‘palestine’. Paople of world always been on our side. We will defeat them one way or another.”
[BreakThrough News @BTnewsroom] “Thousands of people marched on the Israeli Consulate in New York City to express their support for the “palestinians” who are facing an all-out war declared against them by Israel. We spoke to one of the organizers of the march”@NerdeenKiswani from @WOLPalestine.

Marxists joined with the anti-Israel protestors, as well as the embarrassing Neturei Karta, to deny – again- the right of Israel to exist; attempting to convince the passersby that by renaming Jerusalem “al-quds”, it would cease to be Jerusalem. Shameful, historical lies that were countered by a lively group of proud Americans who were very pro-Israel.
