This Is the Face of Evil: Sickening New October 7 Report Leaves No Doubt

Most people can't really understand evil.

Evil is a word too many people toss around far too casually. Too many people use it to describe political opinions they disagree with, for instance, especially in today's toxic political environment. But once in a while, we have real evil thrust into our faces, and we are required to look at it, to comprehend it, and to deal with it. One such event happened right here in the United States, on September 11th, 2001. And another took place in Israel, on October 7th, 2023.

Now, a new report has been released detailing the atrocities Hamas committed on October 7th, 2023, and we are once more forced to look at it, to understand what happened, to look into the face of evil, and to understand what must be done about it.

Warning: This report presents those atrocities in disturbing detail.

Among the mutilated and butchered bodies of young women slaughtered on October 7, it was their colourful, polished nails that many of the morgue staff remember.
Bright, beautiful, shiny, pink manicures glistening amid the pervasive 'grey and green' of death were often the only reminder of who these girls had been just hours earlier.
Because Hamas-led terrorists had not just executed these women. They had 'deliberately and systematically' defiled them, as the most comprehensive account of the atrocity released by The Civil Commission today shows.
The terrorists shot their eyes, their faces and their breasts, and even targeted their most intimate parts, to destroy their beauty and rob their loved ones of a final goodbye.
Women were stripped, bound, stabbed, shot and burned. They were executed both during and after rape amid an orgy of violence in which 1,200 people were killed and 250 taken hostage.
Heads were decapitated. Pelvic bones shattered. Even after death, sexual assault continued.

There's a great deal more in the Daily Mail's coverage. While I will not reproduce the worst of it here, it's important reading nonetheless. Have some antacid on hand before reading the entire piece; you'll need it.

IDF Delivers Justice to Hamas Terrorist Who Brutally Murdered Soldier; Father Says They Put Air in Veins

This image alone, this image of young people, mostly young women, fleeing a music festival, speaks volumes; the look of terror on the faces of young people who, moments before, were enjoying sunshine, music, the company of friends, young people who had nothing to do with Gaza, who had never raised a finger in anger against anyone in Gaza or anywhere else.

This is the result of evil. The atrocities committed on the day were evil. The people who committed them are evil, and in the acts described, they show that they have utterly abandoned their humanity. They attacked the innocent: Men, women, children, infants, the elderly, the unarmed and defenseless. They did this, they planned and conducted this attack targeting the innocent, because they are not only evil but cowards.

In the weeks following this attack, we saw the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) counterattacking in Gaza. It's difficult for us to imagine the rage that must have filled the hearts of the young men of Israel who went into Gaza to hunt down the monsters of 10/7. It's even more difficult to understand how the IDF showed the restraint they did, carefully evacuating non-combatants, using "roof knocker" explosives to warn anyone in a building that was about to be dropped. But Israel did this because they are not evil, protestations from useful idiots on the American left notwithstanding. Israel did this because they are a civilized people, and even when dealing with savages, they showed restraint.

Evil is real. It's out there, every day. To fight it, we have to first strip away all of our illusions; we have to look at evil, bare, shocking, unmitigated, real, and see it for what it is. In Gaza, it's called Hamas. This full report illustrates that evil with sickening clarity.

As I said at the time and still say today: There will be no peace in Gaza or Israel until Hamas is no longer a factor.
