Never forget! Eyewitness & Survivor Stories from the Massacre in Israel

 October 7 testimonies 

"The website and its content is maintained by a group of dedicated volunteers who willingy donate their time and skills. Together, our purpose is to make sure the stories of the survivors who endured these unimaginable horrors are never forgotten. It is our mission that the world bears witness to these atrocities.

"On October 7th, 2023, Hamas launched a brutal, pre-meditated assault on Israel. Without mercy or remorse, they murdered and kidnapped hundreds of innocent civilians, including the elderly, women, and children. They infiltrated peaceful towns, setting homes ablaze and subjecting families to the horrors of abduction, annihilation, and unfathomable variations of torture and cruelty. 

"They continued their massacre to a vibrant music festival, claiming the lives of hundreds of individuals. What started as an event dedicated to peace, joy and music, turned into a death trap of terror.

"This website stands as a testament to the unwavering spirit of survivors who bear witness to the unspeakable terrors of October 7th. We pray for the safe return of our hostages, and keep in our hearts the hundreds of victims who did not survive to tell their story, may they rest in peace." . . .

. . ."I saw this beautiful woman with the face of an angel and eight or 10 of the fighters beating and raping her," Mr Saadon told the outlet. "She was screaming, 'Stop it already! I'm going to die anyway from what you are doing, just kill me!'

"When they finished, they were laughing, and the last one shot her in the head," he said." . . .

⚠ Warning: some of these stories are extremely difficult and describe war crimes involving violence, rape and brutality.

Remember as you mourn for the children of Gaza that Hamas is the cause of all this death and destruction of their homes. TD

In that same vein:After receiving condemnation from Hamas-linked Muslim groups like CAIR, Shapiro suddenly changed his opinion about the Israeli-Hamas conflict.

The people have spoken on these issues. They don’t want to pay for sex changes for prison inmates, they don’t want people who never enslaved to pay reparations for people who were never slaves, and they don’t want to hamstring law enforcement from sending illegal aliens arrested for other crimes back home. But the self-proclaimed party of the people refuses to listen.


"The picture of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sitting in first class en route to a “Fighting Oligarchy” rally hosted by Bernie Sanders tells a thousand words.
"A few of those words? People who shout the loudest about fighting for “the people” rarely connect with actual flesh-and-blood individuals. The humanitarians do not mix well with the humans. Basing a political philosophy on abstractions impervious to alteration by real-life experience helps explain this.
"As Thomas Fleming wrote in The Morality of Everyday Life: “If moral and social questions are not reducible to logical abstractions — which is my central point — then it is essential for us to learn moral reasoning by considering the nuances and textures of human life.”
"Too many politicians fail to do this. On a symbolic level, Donald Trump, whether dressed as a garbage man or working the drive-thru at a McDonald’s, appeals to people rather than people cultishly devoted to abstract ideas. His common touch extends from a long line of populists, right and left (and right and wrong), who knew how to communicate with the common man. 
"Populist Party member “Sockless” Jerry Simpson, referred to by well-wishers as the “Sockless Socrates,” won over the voters of Kansas-7 to win three terms in Congress during the 1890s. His nicknames alone — Have there been better ones in American politics? — generated an intense following.
"Biographer Thomas Reeves noted that Joseph McCarthy “pressed his own pants by putting them under the mattress at night.” When a limousine came for the former Marine, he revealed his class by obliviously attempting to get into the front passenger seat. “I wonder what these people would think,” the senator mumbled at a Washington cocktail party, “if they knew I once raised chickens.”
"George Wallace, a Golden Gloves champion boxer, attracted 18,000 to a Boston Common rally in 1968 not because of the past racism of his administration as governor of Alabama, but because the working-class saw in him a fighter." . . .

Trump White House Plans Bold Return to Faith for Holy Week After Biden's Trans Day of Remembrance

The Biden White House issued a statement recognizing Transgender Day of Visibility, praising the courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirming the nation’s commitment to equality for all— not the significance of Easter.

"In a striking contrast to the often secular tone of past administrations, the White House under President Donald Trump is planning an “extraordinary” Holy Week, emphasizing Easter's spiritual and cultural significance. As the nation prepares to mark the holiest days on the Christian calendar, Trump ensures the observance receives the reverence it deserves—offering a clear nod to the values of faith, tradition, and religious liberty that remain central to millions of Americans. 

“President Trump promised millions of Christians across the country that he would create a White House Faith Office, and he delivered on that promise," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. "The White House Faith Office has put together an extraordinary weeklong celebration for Holy Week ahead of Easter Sunday."  

"According to the new White House Faith Office, President Trump will attend several events to celebrate and honor the holiest day of the year leading up to Easter. The president is scheduled to mark Holy Week through various events, including a special video message, hosting a pre-Easter dinner, and an Easter service for White House staff. 

“ 'The newly created White House Faith Office is grateful to share that President Trump will honor and celebrate Holy Week and Easter with the observance it deserves," faith director of the White House Faith Office Jennifer Korn said, adding that it "will be a special time of prayer and worship at the White House to be shared with Americans celebrating the week leading up to Resurrection Sunday." 

" On Palm Sunday, Trump shared a heartfelt video message wishing Jewish families in the United States and Israel a “blessed” Passover, underscoring his continued commitment to faith and tradition. On Monday, he’s expected to release a similar message honoring Holy Week—part of what insiders call a meaningful and unapologetically reverent celebration of Christianity. The week will culminate in a special Easter dinner on Wednesday, featuring hymns from the Marine Corps Band, a performance by Christian opera singer Charles Billingsley, prayers, and remarks from President Trump himself—offering a powerful contrast to the secular tone often seen in previous administrations." . . .

At least nobody tried to kill Joe Biden

 


"They had served their time. Jonathan Allen, a political reporter at NBC News, and Amie Parnes, a senior political correspondent at The Hill, had written bestsellers about the 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns. They were done. Then came the night in June when President Joe Biden sank his own campaign with a disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump." . . . The rest, sadly, is behind a paywall

If U.S. Gets Hit By Recession, Will Voters Blame Trump Or Biden?   . . ."Still others, mostly Democrats, express worry about Trump’s DOGE-driven federal spending cuts, since government outlays are included in GDP.

"Worried? The truth is, the last 10 recessions all have been preceded by two things: One, a two-quarter GDP decline (not including Biden’s non-recession call). And, two, an inverted yield curve, which is what happens when short-term interest rates on U.S. treasuries are higher than long-term rates, a sign that investors have become incredibly risk averse.

"That’s highly relevant right now, since during the Biden years the yield curve inverted in July of 2022 and remained that way until late 2024, becoming the longest yield-curve inversion in history. Yet, in the mainstream media, it barely warrants mention, outside of the financial press.

"But, if a recession comes, as seems possible, Trump will almost certainly get blamed, despite the yield curve inversion happening under Biden. Democrats, as the I&I/TIPP Poll shows, seem eager to blame Trump for anything that happens on his watch, whether he causes it or not."   issues & Insights.
