"More than 1,500 shocking testimonies that the mind and soul find it difficult to contain": a shocking discussion in the Committee for the Advancement of the Status of Women.

In the shadow of the silence of the women's organizations in the world and in the presence of ambassadors, the committee for the promotion of the status of women in the Knesset held a discussion on the sexual abuse of Hamas terrorists • Warning: the article contains evidence that is difficult to read and is not recommended for anyone

Unfathomable evidence: Against the backdrop of criticism of international organizations and women's organizations that did not condemn the acts of rape committed by Hamas terrorists on October 7 - the Knesset's committee for the advancement of the status of women held a discussion yesterday (Tuesday) that dealt with "crimes against humanity committed by Hamas against women".

The chairman of the committee, MK Pnina Tamano-Shata from the National Unity, opened the discussion and said: "On October 7, before the sun rose, Hamas darkened Israel. Terrorists murdered, butchered and burned the lives of innocent civilians. After the massacre, we discovered the enormous scope of the brutality, the terrible war crimes of Hamas - crimes against humanity - and the extreme violence against women on that terrible day. Women - old and young girls - were violently raped before being executed."

"We need to act. Especially since the world - international women's rights organizations, have been silent and are still silent. The world needs to know. The world must know. We must be loud and clear. The world must confront the atrocities to ensure that never again. Most victims cannot and cannot speak. For themselves. They were murdered. We are their voice - every woman and every person in the world who believe and fight for human rights, women's rights, who fight for life."

After her speech, the chairman of the committee led a minute of silence together with the foreign embassies.

At the hearing, testimonies of survivors about shocking sex crimes committed by the terrorists were revealed for the first time. Among the presenters were also Tanz Shlomit Lands, head of the investigation division in the police investigation division, which coordinates the issue of identifying the victims in Shura camp, and Sub-Commissioner Sheli Harush, from Lahav Unit 433, who is in charge of investigations into massacre crimes.

"As part of the investigation, testimonies are being collected from survivors, family members of the murdered and abducted, members of the security forces, ZAKA firefighting, rescue and medical forces," Harush said. Difficult to absorb and contain."

During the discussion, the survivors spoke, as well as the representatives of the security, emergency and rescue agencies and described a series of horrific testimonies of survivors and the rescue forces who arrived at the party area in Re'im and the surrounding kibbutzim. The testimonies included particularly harsh descriptions of rape, murder and violence. Some of the evidence was collected from victims, some was photographed and others were taken from interrogations of terrorists. One survivor of the "Nova" party described in his testimony: "There were girls there who simply broke their pelvis because they were raped."

At the committee's hearing, Harush rolled out a sort of "indictment" that will be filed in due course against the Hamas terrorists from Gaza who participated in the massacre and looting on October 7 and described some of the evidence to the conference participants, including ambassadors and embassies from foreign countries.

"The murderous terrorists were not satisfied with the murder of innocents," she noted. "But they saw the killing of the victims who were on the run, engaged in the humiliation and humiliation of bodies, including mutilation of bodies and amputation of organs and burning."

The police's Lahav 433 unit has since been busy investigating the massacre from its criminal side. With the exception of Hamas terrorists and civilians defined as "LABACHIM" - illegal fighters, they collect testimonies from the survivors of the massacre, rescue medical teams and ZAKA personnel.

The scope of the acts is unfathomable In the past, the police clarified that the punishment of the Gazan citizens who invaded the Gaza Strip for the purpose of looting will be the punishment of the terrorists who committed the massacre.

"The despicable terrorists acted systematically and planned to commit a mass massacre," the police representative added. "When they are equipped with various means of warfare, armed with an unimaginable amount of Kalashnikov rifles, machine guns, RPGs. IEDs and grenades civilians against innocent civilians .. Mass extermination of everyone in their path."

Harush said that the investigation also deals with gathering evidence about sexual offenses committed against the victims in cooperation with the government ministries of health and welfare, the IDF, the Institute of Forensic Medicine, the Association of Assistance Centers for Victims of Sexual Assault and other treatment factors.

The time for war is running out - it is imperative to use it with full force to complete the objectives

"The scope of the acts of terrorism is unimaginable," she noted. "Both in terms of the scope of the number of murdered and wounded in terms of the horrors of the humiliation, the corruption, the evil, the cruelty that the witnesses described well."

Thus, for example, a survivor of the "Nova" nature party said in his message: "Everything was an apocalypse of corpses. Girls without clothes, people slaughtered, beheaded. There were girls there who simply broke their pelvises from being raped. They were in terrible positions."

A rescuer who helped locate survivors from the party said: "There were bodies everywhere. Hundreds of bodies. I saw naked women with their hands clasped behind their backs, bleeding from intimate areas."

Another witness said: "I saw a lot of mutilated bodies. A woman's body with jeans rolled down to her knees. Heads without bodies, men with knives stuck in their jaws."

Another witness told of a targeted shooting in the groin, stomach, buttocks and limbs. "We saw women their breasts cut off, men their genitals cut off."

"There was a situation where she was raped and passed from one to the other," said another survivor. "They were dressed as soldiers. I heard shouts in Arabic. The girl who was abused was bleeding from the back. I remember a terrorist pulling her hair. I remember being shot in the head while his pants were still down."

Another testimony, from search and rescue forces, refers to a house in one of the localities: "Inside the shower was the body of a bound woman, she was without underwear, thrown in a corner."

"I saw an elderly woman naked without underwear." Another witness said and another person said that a naked body was found between the houses, also bound, with her mouth tied.

We note that most of the witnesses to the atrocities were murdered. Some of those who survived, including children, have yet to be contacted by the police. "It is doubtful whether we will be able to talk to them due to the depth of the trauma," the police representatives noted. "It is possible that the kidnappers will also have information in this regard."

They also added that apparently the extent and size of the atrocities is still unknown. "We will continue the work of collecting the horror in its unimaginable details. We must bring to the notice of the enlightened world, which speaks volumes about the right to live in security and women's rights, everything that happened here on October 7."

"We’ve collected by now 1,500 terrible testimonies that the mind "cannot digest Earlier this week, a special meeting of the Knesset's Committee for the Advancement of Women's Status and Gender Equality dealt with the crimes committed by Hamas against women during the October 7th massacre. Due to the silence of international women’s organizations, we decided to publish this evidence as it has been read by the police officers in front of the committee members

Due to the deafening silence of the international women’s organizations in response to the sexual violence perpetrated against female victims of the October 7th massacre, Earlier this week, on the international day for the elimination of violence against women, there was a a special meeting of the Knesset's Committee for the Advancement of Women's Status and Gender Equality that dealt with the crimes committed by Hamas against women during the October 7th massacre.

Representatives in attendance included Brigadier General Shlomit Landes, Head of the Police Investigations Division in charge of identifying the bodies of victims, many of them arrived burnt, after being slaughtered, and mutilated; and Commander Shelly Harush from Lahav 433 Unit, that in charge of the investigations in the massacre crimes.

“The investigation includes gathering testimonies from survivors, families of the murdered and kidnapped, security and armed services personnel, ZAKA (The Disaster Bodies Identification national unit), fire fighters, first responders, and paramedics” Harush said. “We are only at the beginning of the investigation, wherein we have already collected more than 1,500 terrible and difficult testimonies, which the mind and the soul are unable to comprehend or digest.”

Harush described to the participants in the committee, among them ambassadors from foreign countries, some of what they have heard from these testimonies. We want to emphasize again; this includes descriptions that are difficult to read.

“The murderous terrorists weren’t satisfied with the murder of innocents, but rather they documented the murder of their victims as they tried to flee, they engaged in the desecration and mutilation of dead bodies, many of which involved the amputation of limbs and the burning of bodies. They worked systematically and with a plan to carry out mass murder. A mass extermination of everyone who crossed their path.”

“The scope of these acts of terror is unfathomable, both in terms of the number of victims and injured, and in terms of the atrocities, the corruption, the evil, and the brutality, all of which is described in detail by witnesses. A survivor of the Nova festival describes in his testimony: ‘It was like an apocalypse of dead bodies, girls without clothes, top halves, bottom halves. People cut in half, people slaughtered, some beheaded. There were girls whose pelvises were broken from the extent of the violent rape; their legs parted into a split.’

“A member of the search and rescue team deployed to the Nova festival describes: ‘There were bodies everywhere, injured. I saw a lot of women victims' bodies that were naked; someone I remember had been shot in her chest.’ A female member of the extraction team recalls: ‘a tent full of bodies, bodies with their hands bound behind their backs. I remember a body of a woman bleeding from her genital area’.

“Another witness described: 'tons of bodies mutilated in the head and neck areas, crushed heads, the body of a woman with her jeans pulled down around her knees. Heads without bodies, mostly men. A body with a knife sticking out of the jaw.’

“‘There were many gunshot injuries, gun fire directed at men’s genitals, bullet wounds in the stomach area, in the limbs, and in the buttocks”, said another witness. ‘They had an obsession with genitals, of both men and women. We saw women whose breasts had been cut off. We saw many men whose genitals had been removed.’

A female survivor of the Nova festival described: ‘It started with a girl with short hair, I didn’t see her during the party. I saw a situation where she was sitting on her knees, begging. A terrorist was standing over her, spitting on her face. He filmed her and then he shot her head. The area where we were hiding – that was where they brought all the women, even decapitated heads of women.”

“There was a situation where they bent someone over and then they raped her and passed her along between themselves. They were dressed as soldiers, I heard yelling in Arabic. The girl they were raping, she was still alive, she was standing on her feet, bleeding from her back.

“There was someone else who I remember that the terrorist pulled her hair. She wasn’t dressed, he cut off one of her breasts, threw it on the ground and started playing with it while still pulling her around. One of them penetrated her and then shot her in the head. He didn’t even look up, he shot her in the head while his pants were still down״.

Additional testimonies from the search and rescue teams refer to a residential home in one of the villages in which the terrorists committed the massacre: ‘In the shower there was the body of a woman, bound. She was naked on her bottom half. Her body was in the corner, hands tied.’

״Another witness recalled: ‘I saw an older woman, naked without underwear.’ Another witness describes: ‘Between the houses we found a body, among the rubble we saw only the head and neck. Her mouth was bound with some kind of fabric, the body was naked.”

Earlier, Shlomit Landes described her experience at the Shura base: “Women were victims of sexual violence, women suffered abuse simply because they are women, including pregnant women. At the Shura base we saw the horrors. Nothing prepared us for what we saw there. We saw on the bodies of victims and on them the extent of the violence and evil. If anyone is uncertain of the validity of these stories, you cannot argue with the images. “We saw the bodies of women who had been shot, those who had been shot in the center of their faces, and not by chance. We saw those who were shot in sensitive areas of the body. We saw bodies that were bound, bodies missing particular limbs and sexual organs, because they were cut off by the murderers. We saw the blood and the suffering.”

“We saw among these bodies, women and girls. We saw the small body bags containing the bodies of dead children, girls and boys, some brought in as entire families. And we saw the bodies of parents alongside their children, sometimes in an embrace. We couldn’t help but imagine the final moments these families experienced before their murder.

“We saw the young women in their fashionable jeans or in comfortable festival clothes, the girls with tattoos who had gone out to party, we saw bodies with women’s shoes, we saw their long hair covered in blood, the dread locks, the clothing that the victims intended to wear to work, or to celebrate, or just to be with their children.”

“We saw their shiny, sparkly nail polish. We learned that gel polish can withstand massacres. Something that for women was a symbol of hope and self-care has become, to us, a representation of the extinction of their lives and their femininity, and of abuse.

“As police, we are used to collecting witness testimonies, and working hard to bring criminals to justice, and relief to victims. In this case, women did not just experience abuse and sexual assault, but most of them were murdered. They are not here to tell their stories of what took place. We will not have the opportunity to provide them with closure in this instance.

The same is true for witnesses of the atrocities, most of them were murdered as well. Among those who survived, many are children, and we have not yet spoken with them. It is unlikely we will be able to speak with them given the depths of the trauma. We assume that the hostages will also have information pertaining to this. It seems that we still do not know the scope and the depth of the atrocities.

We will continue working to collect the details of these inconceivable atrocities. We must bring to the attention of the enlightened world, the world that speaks often of the right to live in safety, and the rights of women, we must bring to their attention the crimes that took place here on the 7th of October.”

When the woke elite refuse to answer ‘What is a woman’ the silence of national and international women’s organizations is disgusting, but not a surprise. Once the leftists started pushing ‘trans’ regular girls and women were forced to the back of the bus. There 0are elite girl athletes whose careers are destroyed because they allow a guy in a skirt to ‘compete.’

The girls and women savaged by Hamas have two strikes against them. They are female, and they are Jews. Most of the United Nations hates Jews. When President Trump returns to the White House, I hope he moves the United Nations to the Gaza Strip. No limousines, just a few tents.
