Two years after the barbaric Hamas-led assault on Israel on October 7, 2023—an orgy of murder, rape, mutilation, and kidnapping that claimed over 1,200 innocent lives and saw more than 250 civilians dragged into Gaza as hostages—the world should be united in revulsion. Instead, a disturbing pattern has emerged: gleeful celebrations of this savagery by Palestinians, their supporters, and radical Islamo-fascist sympathizers worldwide. What civilized societies condemn as terrorism, these groups hail as a "glorious day of success" or a "revolution." This isn't mere denial; it's a perverse revelry in atrocity, rooted in the toxic ideology of Hamas and its enablers, which glorifies jihadist violence against Jews and Israelis as divine mandate. As Israel continues its righteous defense against this existential threat, these displays of "joy" reveal the moral bankruptcy at the heart of the Palestinian cause's most vocal advocates.
From the streets of Gaza to European capitals and Western campuses, the evidence is irrefutable. Viral videos capture crowds cheering the influx of stolen Israeli vehicles laden with terrified hostages. Interrogations of captured Hamas thugs expose a premeditated blueprint for civilian slaughter, rewarded with cash and apartments. And in 2025, as the second anniversary approaches, rallies and re-enactments mock the victims while Hamas itself toasts the bloodbath. This article compiles these abhorrent instances, shining a light on the unfiltered hatred that fuels endless conflict—and why Israel's unyielding response is not just necessary, but a bulwark for all free societies.
On October 7, 2023, as Hamas terrorists breached Israel's border, the true horror unfolded not just in the kibbutzim and at the Nova music festival, but in the streets of Gaza itself. A viral YouTube short from The Times of India, viewed millions of times, captures the immediate aftermath: jubilant Gazan mobs lining the roads, waving flags, and cheering wildly as convoys of stolen Israeli cars speed toward them. These vehicles weren't empty trophies—they carried bound and bloodied Israeli children, women, and men, freshly abducted from their homes. The clip, timestamped to that fateful day, shows no shock or secrecy; instead, pure elation. Crowds swarm the cars, some climbing atop them in triumph, treating the human cargo as spoils of war. Hashtags like #gaza #israel #israelhamaswar underscore the propaganda value, but the raw footage lays bare the depravity: an entire society conditioned to celebrate the screams of innocents as victory.
This wasn't isolated. Just days later, Israeli security forces released interrogation videos of six Hamas operatives captured during the invasion. In chilling admissions, the terrorists detailed their orders: "Kill men, capture women," one confessed flatly, revealing directives from Gaza-based commanders to target civilians indiscriminately—elderly, women, children. Another bragged about the incentives: $10,000 and a free apartment for each hostage delivered alive. Their plan? Seize Israeli towns, slaughter residents, and plant Hamas flags as permanent conquerors. "The instructions were to kidnap women and children," a third operative admitted, his words as casual as discussing a shopping list. These weren't rogue actors; they were foot soldiers of an ideology that sees Jewish blood as halal.
The poison spread quickly beyond Gaza. In the West Bank city of Nablus, footage from AFP journalist Jaafar Ashtiyeh, uploaded to YouTube by INQUIRER.net on October 7, 2023, shows hundreds of Palestinians erupting in street celebrations mere hours after the border breach. Youth and families alike flood the roads, brandishing swords in mock battles and chanting "Allah is great!" in rhythmic fervor. One woman is filmed as "the conqueror cheering for the guest," her face alight with pride as she praises the "flood of Al-Aqsa"—Hamas's codename for the massacre. Symbolic gestures abound: swords thrust skyward with cries of "put the sword in front of the sword," invoking the Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing. This wasn't grief for "oppressed brothers"; it was unbridled joy at the infiltration, a major escalation that promised more Jewish graves. As the video notes, it marked a dark pivot in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with crowds treating the atrocity as a soccer win.
The Islamo-fascist glee didn't stay regional; it metastasized to the West, where Palestinian diaspora groups and their allies turned October 7 into a fetishized holiday. In Italy, the self-styled "Young Palestinians of Italy" announced a national demonstration in Rome on October 5, 2024—explicitly framed as a celebration of the "Al Aqsa Flood" as a "revolution." Their Instagram post gushed: "October 7, 2023, is the date of a revolution... to honor the over forty thousand martyrs of Gaza and its fighters." This came hot on the heels of Hamas murdering six Israeli hostages, including young Hersh Goldberg-Polin and Eden Yerushalmi. Italian authorities, ever vigilant against ISIS rallies, did nothing—unlike their swift crackdowns on other terror glorifiers. Critics, including MPs from Brothers of Italy and Italia Viva, decried it on X as apologism for rape and mutilation, but the event proceeded, a stark double standard exposing Europe's selective blindness to Hamas's EU-terrorist designation.
Across the Channel in Brussels, the depravity escalated to theater of the absurd. On June 10, 2025, pro-Palestinian activists at the Samidoun "resistance festival"—Samidoun being a U.S.- and Canada-listed terrorist front—staged a full re-enactment of the October 7 massacre. Masked participants, clad in Hamas-green kafias and fatigues, stormed a mock Israeli settlement with fake rifles, "executing" actors playing Jews who crumpled to the floor as "corpses." Festival-goers erupted in cheers as the last "victim" fell, treating genocide cosplay as empowerment. Israel's ambassador to Belgium tweeted in horror: "How can this happen in Europe?" The event, part of a broader "school of revolution" against "fascism" and "empire," twisted liberation rhetoric to justify atrocity, with organizers hailing it as solidarity for "all struggles"—code for any anti-Israel jihad.
Even cultural output whitewashed the blood. In a May 14, 2025, Sky News Australia interview, filmmaker Wendy Sachs discussed her documentary October 8, born from the global backlash the day after the attack. Sachs recounted seeing "Hamas being celebrated as freedom fighters rather than being condemned as terrorists"—protests in Times Square, Sydney's Opera House, and London streets, where chants drowned out the cries of the 1,200 dead. Harvard's 30 student groups blamed Israel preemptively, as if the pogrom was "coming to them." Sachs's film exposes the silence from women's rights orgs on the rapes and the TikTok algorithm's 54:1 pro-Hamas bias, manipulated by Iranian and Russian bots. "Fanatical anti-Zionism" has become the new antisemitism, she warns, with calls of "from the river to the sea" signaling Jewish erasure.
As the second anniversary dawned on October 7, 2025, the celebrations intensified, a grotesque mockery of healing. Anti-Israel groups in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and beyond held "Oct. 7 rallies" on campuses and city streets. In Sydney's suburbs, "Stand for Palestine" hosted a "glory to our martyrs" event, where speakers invoked the Hamas dead—including leaders like Yahya Sinwar and Mohammed Deif—as saints. i24NEWS reported similar spectacles in major cities, with chants echoing the Nablus fervor: praise for "resistance" that killed festival-goers in their tents. In Gaza, a Facebook reel from the Atlanta Israel Coalition captured locals chanting, "On Oct 7, 2023, we invaded you..."—a defiant admission from the "innocents" who paraglided into slaughter.
Hamas itself marked the date with official hubris. In a statement covered by The Times of Israel, the group called October 7 a "glorious day of success" and "meaningful turning point," while whining about Israel's "barbaric war" and "silent" Arabs. They mourned their "martyrs" like Ismail Haniyeh and Saleh al-Arouri, ignoring the 1,200 Israeli graves they dug.
This tapestry of triumph-in-terror isn't spontaneous; it's the fruit of decades of Islamo-fascist indoctrination—Hamas's charter calling for Jewish extermination, UNRWA textbooks teaching kids to "liberate" with swords, and global funding from Qatar and Iran. It's Mussolini meets Mecca: authoritarian cult-worship of violence, where "martyrs" are rapists and kids are props in propaganda. Israel's response—targeting this ideology's infrastructure— isn't revenge; it's amputation of a cancer threatening the West.
Yet, as Sachs notes, hope flickers: young allies from Black, Christian, and Indigenous communities stand with Israel against this fanaticism. The "joy" in October 7 atrocities exposes the Palestinian leadership's unworthiness for statehood. Until this sickness is excised, peace remains a pipe dream. Israel endures, as it must—for itself, and for us all.

Palestinians celebrate the torture, rape, and murder of over a thousand innocent people just minding their own business, and Democrats celebrate the murder of an innocent man just expressing his Biblical and conservative beliefs on a college campus. Do Palestinians and Democrats have something in common?
I wonder who gets the royalties?

Exactly
Well said. Sick is sick.
” Dontcha-think they deserve a state? “
They’ve already got 98% of the Middle East sympathizer.
After Biden style money laundering, the recipient is the one with the long tail and the hooves. 😈
I hope after the peace deal is consummated and everyone is happy that the Mossad had taken all the names of the perpetrators of Oct 7 and one my one reaches room temperature no matter how long it takes.
There are whole units dedicated to captured Hamas documents like payrolls and ID’ing the massacre participants via their own (and security) videos of massacre, rape and torture.
All those that ended up in Israeli custody have had biometric data recorded. Very few will escape long term.
The IDF IDs by name and role the eliminated terrorists on Telegram, X, and elsewhere. Quite amazing to follow over time.
-President Trump had the one and so far only, imho, humanitarian way forward
to resettle the Fakestinian savages to an Indonesian island (they have over 17,000 islands). They can do as they wish there. (And Indonesian is the world’s most populous Moslem-controlled country.) An island can be effectively and economically monitored to make (da*ned) sure that the Fakestinians are never again able to attack, threaten, murder, torture, or slaughter anybody, anywhere on earth.
The leftist democRATs in the pro palestine protests have exactly the same murderous mindset as Hamas terrorists.
It makes me sick, but it’s not sick, as if they can’t help it.
It’s evil and demonic and a CHOICE on their part, which makes it even worse.
Yeah. Demonic possession.
Thanks...
satanic influence is obviously
In Festing these madmen.
No doubt. But I’m sure a lot of that coin made it’s way straight back into Biden’s account.
No doubt
Trump is right. Chuck became a “Palestinian.”
