This is not the stuff of war. This is butchery, brutality, inhumanity that should shock the world. As one police chief superintendent put it, it was a combination of two “ferocious forces,” the hatred of Jews and the hatred of women.
Excellent article, and one that needs to be disseminated widely. Hamas must be utterly, thoroughly destroyed.
That being said, perhaps Ms. Estrich will perhaps take some quiet time to mull upon the indisputable fact that the political party that she has supported, promoted, and worked for ALL HER LIFE is the one that is trying to censor the suffering of the Israelis, permitting overt anti-Semitism and Jew-hatred at universities throughout the country, and trying to justify the horrible acts perpetrated by Hamas.
It is HER PARTY that stands strongly behind hate-filled, Hamas-supporting harridans such as Ilhan Omar and AOC. NOBODY is exempt from the consequences of their political choices, and there is no doubt whatsoever that the choices that Ms. Estrich has made throughout her life, and has worked so hard to promote to others in future generations, bears some of the responsibility for the actions that took place on October 7 -- and the despicable excuses and justifications that have appeared every day afterwards.
Jew hatred trumps logic, facts, laws, and other attributes of civilized society. The world knows what happened and at the same time pretends not to know. It will still call Palestinians victims and Hamas militants - liberators.
This article is so needed to be published for everyone to read. This will never be punished. The only way to stop this is to destroy Hamas. We must clear all of Israel from this world of violence once and for all. No more rockets, no more stabbings, no more rammings, no mre violent Arabs trying to kill Jews
This is such an important story to share. What struck me to the core -- besides the horrifying details -- is imagining what the world reaction would be if it were Israelis committing this kind of misogynistic violence? It's all too clear that Muslim extremists get a pass by the global left while Israel is held to an impossible standard. This is a time to learn who our allies are, and whom to jettison.
If the people of Gaza are suffering, then it is due to Iran's butchery through hamas and not Israeli soliders or Israeli bombing. Ms. Steinem, what good is she....I remember reading how she atttended a dinner in honor of lifelong arch Jew Hater Angela Davis. Might as well attend a dinner for goebbels.
Should be shared with all liberal Jews; as so many of us who thought we were elevating all minorities and ending discrimination for all - were simply part of a wider, deceptive effort to yet again have Jews standing alone. The younger generation has no idea why they are protesting. The older one knows exactly where this can lead.
Horrific but necessary report. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for international condemnation. And no, the fight against Hamas and Islamofascism will not stop, but it does need to become more surgical and effective.
Thank you for writing this very important article. This needs to be widely circulated and the vast majority of the world condemned for its silence and acquiescence.
American Jews are kind hearted, but incredibly naive!! Nothing changed for the Jewish tribe, wherever they happen to be!! Antisemitism is centuries old, and when convenient it goes undercover, only to resurface periodically with explosive power! I was lucky to get out after 20 plus years of living in an extreme communist and former fascist country where antisemitism ran amok! Lucky to arrive in US and to find that antisemitism is well and alive!! My only hope is that we Jews, will have the wisdom to elect in the near future a president who understands the evil of antisemitism and will have the wisdom and courage to fight it here and globally. This is critical to our survival in the long run. We, united, have the brain and the means to make it happen!!!!
We already know the next, pathetic chapter in this tragedy. Hamas just published a 16 page propaganda piece denying all responsibility for any atrocity while blaming Gazan civilians but suggesting it’s mostly false flag IDF operations killing their own. And all the Hamas GoPro evidence? Faked, of course. The only claim not made is that the survivors were crisis actors.
So naturally, that transparently absurd bit of blame shifting is what the Jew haters will point to in an effort to cleanse their consciences (or what may pass for them).
The open issue is whether the media will now resort to its “reporting both sides of the controversy” approach to further push October 7 into the shadows.
Those who support Israel’s enemies have sought to disrupt life for the sake of their hateful cause. What has Jewish America done? Put on a feel-good rally, where well-behaved Jews and our supporters didn’t inconvenience anybody.
We must face the fact that the world is engaged in a conspiracy to deal another genocidal blow to the Jewish people. That is why they had to be pressured into recognizing the evil that was perpetrated. When Christian F. Nunes said, “rape must never be a part of a battle plan,” he meant the war against Israel is just fine — and if you’re going to use rape as a weapon, be sure to hide evidence of premeditation, next time.
We must understand that an article like this is a powerful beginning, but greater direct action must be taken. I welcome non-Jewish allies, but Jews must step up, stop living in la-la land and lead. Never Again is Now. The Jewish world must say no this time, BEFORE the body count explodes any further.
It’s not a mystery—feminist organizations follow the Communist Party line which currently is pro-Hamas and anti-Israel. If it ever changes, so will they…

Well there you are. Angela Davis graduate of Brandeis U. Well known antisemite.

heart breaking, gut wrenching, animals

Why is it so impossible for people to condemn both Bibi AND alleged freedom fighters who acted like werewolves?
The world will stand trial for this injustice to humanity.
