They came at dawn on a holy day. While families were praying, while teenagers were dancing at a music festival, while children were still asleep in their beds.
And they filmed it.
We didn’t need secondhand reports or war-room briefings. We saw it. In real time. On livestreams. On phones ripped from the hands of the murdered. On security cameras that captured every scream, every bullet, every mutilation before the feed cut to black.
We saw young women dragged by their hair. Naked, bleeding, paraded through Gaza while mobs chanted and spat on their bodies. We saw mothers clutching their babies in bomb shelters before they were burned alive. We saw men shot point-blank, execution style. We saw corpses defiled and celebrated. We saw the look on their faces as they realized they were going to die not in battle, but in their homes.
And we saw the joy of the killers.
They didn’t hide their evil. They boasted it. Posted it. Danced in it. A mass rape wasn’t a war crime to them; it was a message. A celebration. A ritual of power.
This was October 7. And the world knew exactly what it was.
Hamas didn’t just cross a border that morning. They crossed the line between civilization and savagery.
Three thousand men, trained, armed, and sanctified by Tehran and Doha, poured into Israel with maps, radios, and orders to kill everyone they could find. They knew where the schools were. They knew which homes had children. They moved door to door with GoPros on their chests, filming what they called “victory” and what history will remember as the worst Jewish massacre since the Holocaust.
They began at the Nova music festival, an open field turned slaughterhouse. Two hundred and sixty young people were gunned down, one by one, as they fled into the desert. Some were burned alive inside their cars. Others were hunted through the sand by men shouting Allahu Akbar. Those who were captured were raped, beaten, and dragged into Gaza as trophies of jihad, paraded through cheering streets.
From there, the killers moved south into kibbutzim, bursting into homes. Whole families murdered in their kitchens. Babies decapitated. The elderly shot in their beds. Soldiers executed while begging to see their children again. A girl’s body was mutilated so brutally that her parents could only identify her by her hair.
And Hamas called it liberation.
“We will repeat the October 7 operation again and again until Israel is annihilated.” – Ghazi Hamad, Hamas official, Oct 2023 interview with LBC News
For two days, the world seemed to remember what evil looks like.
