Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
I strongly recommend listening to Wednesday's "Verdict" podcast in which Sen. Ted Cruz describes the scene yesterday morning in a viewing of a 46-minute video provided by the Israeli government, attended by 50 Senators of both parties. I had included what I understood was a small portion of that video in a post I did recently. I commented then that I wish every single American citizen could be required to view it in order to have some very small understanding of what was done to Israel that morning of soulless depravity.
As I listened to Cruz's description of what they saw, I found that same feeling coming to the fore, only much stronger. What they saw, as he said, is, in the true sense of the words, unimaginable and indescribable. He also said that he planned to make a request to the Israeli government to release it to the world so that everyone could see what those animals did to those innocent, unsuspecting Israelis (and Americans and Thais and others) on that lovely morning of October 7.
If they do decide to make it generally available, I plan to post it here and everywhere I can find a platform that will not censor it as I'm sure most of the corporate media will make every effort to do.
I echo what Sen. Cruz said on the podcast. If this is released to the general public I feel I have an obligation to watch every single grotesque, nightmarish, awful, gut-wrenching, heartbreaking moment of it. I only wish all those young ignoramuses in those large "protests" shouting "From the River to the Sea" could (would) watch it so they could see for themselves what they are so loudly and imbecilically supporting. Perhaps Tik Tok will pick it up, enabling more of them to see it.
Especially at this time when the Jew-hating mob of miscreants in the White House, feeding their malignant puppet their message about ceasefires and "ending this war," the world needs to be reminded that some of the most depraved monsters in history, at least since the 1940s, walk among us. Those monsters may well, due to the current maniacal border policy, be actually, not figuratively, walking among us, waiting for their cell to be called into action.
God Help us.

I might show it next semester in a class (North Africa and the Middle East) I am teaching next semester.

Good! The young people need to understand what monsters they are cheering for!

I'm not sure the demographic that supports abortion through ten months of pregnancy by methods that include beheading is going to have the reaction you think it should have.

But abortion prevents the suffering of life before there are attachments. The massacres of October 7th were worse because it took human lives that had already established connections with each other.

Why won't they release it to the public? Why won't they allow released hostages to speak to the press?
