Do Not Look Away.
As hard as it might be
CONTENT WARNING:
THIS IS A SENSITIVE POST
I had planned out what I was going to write for this post, and then the largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust happened. It seems like writing about anything else at the moment is pointless.
The following are some stories of the men, women, and children that have been kidnapped, abused, tortured, and killed by Hamas.
These stories are disturbing, somewhat graphic, and hard to read, let alone write.
But they need to be told. And they need to be read.
As hard as it might be, I urge you: do not look away.

The Kibbutz Be’eri was almost entirely destroyed, as Hamas used explosives to force families out of their homes, then gunned them down en masse/
I was talking to a source in be’eri. He said “ I’m here now, it’s gone. Everyone’s dead.” Then he had to stop texting me because he had to carry bodies out. Then be sent me this.

I've just read an account of Saturday's events at Kibbutz Be'eri in southern Israel.
The Hamas terrorists fired rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) into homes in order to force their inhabitants out and then shot them, entire families, one after the other.
There are no words.

Student groups on college campuses celebrate the attacks, blame Israel, and make campuses unsafe for Jewish students.
This is the final crack in my broken heart - a joint statement from @Harvard students. I could be sitting in class with these students, watching children brutally murdered, raped, kidnapped and their mutated bodies torn apart by a jeering crowd - and hear why it’s justified.

The thought of sitting next to these soulless demons in class tomorrow makes my skin crawl. They support unspeakable atrocities against my people and complain they don’t get get enough sympathy for it. Terrorists shouldn’t get bar admission.

Politicians in America and the UN offer mealy-mouthed responses or offer their support for the very animals that perpetrated these awful attacks.
On Monday afternoon, the @UN Human Rights Council observed a moment of silence for the loss of innocent lives in the occupied Palestinian territory and elsewhere.
