Amir Tsarafti: See No Evil, Hear No Evil

It has been a very difficult couple of weeks in Israel. With the return of some of our hostages came stories of their captivity. When they first began to trickle in, many observers were surprised at how low-key they were. No great shows of emotion, good or bad. Now it has come out that Hamas gave the hostages Clonazepam, a sedative, so that they would appear peaceful as they returned. Once the drugs wore off, the reality of Hamas’s imprisonment of these innocents became evident.

Because time is passing and the voices of the deniers are growing louder (which I will address in a moment), I want to list here some of the hostages’ revelations that I detailed in my Telegram channel. Many captives were executed, denied medical treatment, and starved. Women were kept in cages. Some of the hostages were forced to eat toilet paper. They were separated from their families, sleep deprived, light deprived, and forced to watch the October 7 atrocities.

Elderly women were required to sleep on plastic chairs. Children were branded with exhaust pipes, forced to whisper, and not allowed to cry. The perpetrators beat the hostages, kept them in solitary confinement, denied them basic hygiene, and confined them to cramped spaces. They denied them information about their families and forced them to participate in degrading propaganda videos. Their hopelessness was made greater by the fact that they didn’t even receive a single visit from the Red Cross.

What’s even more terrible is that we are just scratching the surface. There are many hostages still being held. Also, we haven’t yet heard from the children. Professor Itay Pesach, head of the children’s hospital in Tel Aviv, said, “When the children will start telling their stories, none of us will be able to sleep at night.”

Never forget what kind of torture was perpetrated upon those whom Hamas killed. Never forget what kind of torture was perpetrated upon those whom Hamas allowed to live.

The October 7 deniers are now at full shrill. It is amazing to me that the evidence, much of it filmed by Hamas themselves, can be so great, yet they can still say that it never happened. Similar to the three monkeys, they see no evil and hear no evil. However, these supporters of the Nazi-like Hamas certainly love to speak evil. They speak it in protests and out front of Jewish delicatessens and in government houses and in university classrooms and on major news networks.

What’s so interesting is that these are the same people who make their livings creating a victim class based on race or gender or lifestyle or government. But in this one particular case, they turn it around and call the victims the perpetrators. What is the only difference? These victims are Jews.

When the “Me too” movement was born, it was based on one woman’s unsubstantiated recollection of an event decades earlier. Yet, it was demanded that everyone must believe her. Now, we have hundreds of incidents with massive amounts of video and forensic evidence, and these same academics, media people, and radical elites have become deniers. The blatant antisemitism is truly appalling.

Thankfully, there are some who are beginning to accept the evidence. The BBC, in a radical turnaround, changed their tune when they finally viewed the proof of sexual violence with a critical eye. Others are beginning to realize that the Palestinian people are no different than Hamas. A recent poll showed that 75% of Palestinians support what Hamas did during the October 7 massacre. Only 13% opposed it.
