Why was this terrorist attack different from all other terrorist attacks? Because in all other terrorist attacks there has been documentation of the victims after the fact. Pictures of bloody exploded buses, news segments of funeral processions, and after a day or two, a selfie video of the terrorist before setting out on his or her killing spree, praising Allah. These would be sent into the cosmic media circus and landing there, would be classified as being part of the endless “cycle of violence” of the Middle-East.
The Hamas terrorist attack of October 7 was unique in many ways, but none more than the fact that it was live-streamed by the perpetrators themselves, using their own cameras and more insidiously, using the smartphones of their victims so that the victims’ families could witness the atrocities live. Hundreds of Go-Pro videos were uploaded, and millions watched evil Zionist schoolgirls being gang-raped in front of their parents, before being slaughtered with knives. There’s your free Palestine for you.
This self-documentation presented to the world the face of a Muslim Arab that was difficult to describe in the acceptable terms of wokeness. Was this a freedom fighter? Was this a resister to colonialism? Was this the cry of an oppressed refugee of the Nakhba? As the social media companies entered into overdrive to erase the terrible video clips, the Anti-Semites of the world did as they do. They claimed that the atrocities did not happen, but if they did, then they were justified. They claimed that if children were raped in front of their parents before being slaughtered, they were not beheaded, and if they were beheaded, they were not burned alive, and if they were burned alive, well then, as Zionists they deserved no less.
Pure evil has presented itself for the world to see, and Evil’s partners are proud and loud. The Good must prevail, and the Good will prevail. It is happening now in Gaza.
