The footage shows the young women, all of them stunned and some bloodied, being bound and bundled into a jeep.
One of the gunmen can be heard shouting back in Arabic: “You are dogs! We will step on you, dogs!”
Another gunman tells a captive: “You’re beautiful.”

This is horrible no matter what. It doesn’t justify genocide. Palestine needs to be a state in the UN. We need to gain the people’s trust and hopefully they will remove Hamas. Continues bombing will only make them want Hamas because they will fight israel.
Hamas are rapists and murderers.
They started this war to cause maximum casualties…to their own people.
That’s why they fight in the most populated areas, the schools, hospitals. That’s why they prolong the war.
Imagine being stuck between Hamas, who uses your suffering to increase support for their cause, and Israel who is more than happy to kill you anyway. And rather than sympathise with these poor people you take to the internet to defend the murderers in the IDF just because the other side is also bad.
Imagine if you were close enough to your humanity to feel for the people suffering instead of just running transparent PR for the ones killing thousands and thousands of children
It’s really weird how they emphasise this “rape and abuse of women” line when things are looking bad for them. It’s like they see this as the thing that generates the most outrage, and all they have left say in their defense is “Hamas is evil.” So they try to make everyone focus on the emotional response to the horrors on October 7th so it “feels” like this is a fair justification.
They have had this footage for over 7 months. And it just so happens that they sat on it until now, and released it shortly after the ICJ ruling. Hmmmmmmm
They seem to think they can distract everybody with this like they’re jingling keys for a baby
