Really, Is There Anything More to Say About 10/7?

"Hell, Yes, There Is--And There Always Will Be"

Really, Is There Anything More to Say About 10/7? | Phyllis Chesler

 "What more can any of us write about 10/7?  I myself have written nearly forty or fifty articles on this subject, read every book on the subject and viewed most of the films about 10/7. My allies have done so as well. What more is there to say?

"Well, plenty more.

"For example, on October 5th, 2026, in the Jewish Review of Books, Matti Friedman--that most excellent of journalists--gave us a summary of a book by "Israel's most trusted analyst of military affairs." He was writing about Amos Harel's book O6:29, which has not yet been translated from the Hebrew. (Odessa Editions will publish an English version in the spring of 2027.) Friedman called the work a "staggering, infuriating and illuminating account of October 7 and its aftermath."

"In short, Harel assigns misjudgment, failure, and responsibility to every level of Israel's military intelligence, including the Shin Bet, IDF's Chief of Staff, an unnamed intelligence officer, Israel's Minister of Defense, the Prime Minister. Everyone--absolutely everyone--tragically and fatefully "misread all signs of an imminent attack."

"The well-funded, well-organized demonstrations of praise for Hamas kicked into action the very next day all around the world. Islamic, left-wing, and student activists were at it, supporting Hamas's barbarism as an "act of resistance against Israeli oppression." (This was massively funded by Iran, Qatar, and the likes of George Soros et al.)

"Operationalizing the propaganda began before Israel finally went into Gaza to find the hostages and to disarm and/or eliminate Hamas. Individuals, on every continent, tore down the posters bearing the faces of Israeli hostages, yelled at and physically attacked visible Jews in the streets, locked down campuses wearing keffiyehs, face masks, hijabs. What’s worse, professors and high school teachers intensified brainwashing their students with Big Lies, such as Israel (but not Islam, not Iran) is a colonial power, bent on committing genocide in Gaza.

"The other day, an old friend whom I knew when I lived in Park Slope visited--and she had the most chilling tales of what has been happening in the old hood:

"I went into a store on my corner where for years I'd been buying coffee and breakfast. This time, the Arab employee--with whom I'd never said more than ‘Hello, how are you?’--came out from behind the counter and pointed his finger at me, very menacingly shouting, ‘Jew, Jew, Jew killer.’ There was more, a lot more. When I told his boss, the boss shrugged and said, 'Well, he's a Palestinian. I can't do anything about this.’

"Suddenly there were stickers and graffiti up on so many of the multi-million-dollar brownstones that said, 'Free Gaza' or 'Down with Apartheid Israel.' I mean, more than ever before. Right across the street, where wealthy people and their almost adult children live, there was new and larger graffiti for Palestine. I went over at dawn, wearing a mask and a hooded jacket, and sprayed my own counter-graffiti: 'Free Palestine From Hamas.' By late afternoon, these privileged Jew-haters were trying to wash my graffiti away. They were in a rage.

"'You see, I'm the child of Holocaust survivors. I know where such Nazi propaganda and mobs marching in the streets can and have always led."

"Yesterday, I received a notice for a meeting that was to take place that very evening of October 6th in tony Westchester, New York. It was titled: "Westchester for Palestine." A minute afterwards, I received a notice from Ghent, Belgium, about a program about children "resisting colonial oppression.” A professor, Heidi Morrison, "will explore nearly a century of Zionist settler-colonial violence against Palestinian children culminating in the ongoing genocide in Gaza that has targeted 21,000 children by now."

"Ms. Morrison should learn the colonial history of Belgium--for example in the Congo.

"The truth and the facts simply do not register with the likes of Professor Morrison. Arab Muslims are the world's largest colonizers. From Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia, Mohammed's soldiers conquered, colonized, and converted other countries in the Middle East, in Africa, and in Central and Far Asia. Muslims even conquered the Buddhist and pagan populations in Afghanistan(!).

"Fundamentalist Muslim leaders practice both gender and religious apartheid, practice slavery, forcibly marry children to much older and polygamous men, forcibly face, head, or body veil women--and honor kill any girl or woman who is alleged to resist these practices. " . . .   More.

When the IDF came too close, Hamas murdered six hostages | All Israel News   "On September 1, Israel celebrated in a wave of joy. The Israel Defense Forces had found the Bedouin-Muslim Israeli hostage Farhan al-Qadi alive in a tunnel. Yet after his rescue, countrywide joy was quickly extinguished by another unspeakable horror that swept through Israel with the force of a lightning bolt. The IDF found the bodies of six murdered hostages in a tunnel below Rafah—less than a mile away from the tunnel where they had rescued al-Qadi. In an act of unimaginable cruelty, terrorists had executed the hostages shortly before soldiers reached them.

"The world must understand the beastly nature of these murderers. In the words of Hamas spokesman Abu Obaida: “The instructions issued to the guards are clear on what to do if the occupying army comes close to a site of detention.” Let this demonic Hamas policy sink in: They murdered six hostages because the IDF troops came too close to where they were keeping them imprisoned." . . .

Kamala Harris eyes 2028? First stop: taking aim at Israel | All Israel News  "If you were wondering whether Kamala Harris was going to run again for president in 2028, this week provided a pretty solid clue: she’s going after Israel. In today’s Democratic Party, that’s political gold." . . .
