Biden Tells Americans To ‘Never Forget’ Hamas Atrocities, Denounces Rising Antisemitism On Campuses
During the October 7 attacks on Israeli towns and at the Nova Music Festival, women and girls were raped, assaulted, and mutilated. Released hostages have revealed that Israeli captives in Gaza have also been sexually assaulted.
Despite the indisputable evidence, these atrocities have received little scrutiny from human rights groups and international organizations.
Many leading figures in politics, academia, and media have attempted to minimize or even deny that they occurred.In Screams Before Silence, a 60-minute, presenter-led documentary film, Sheryl Sandberg, former COO of Meta and founder of LeanIn.org, interviews multiple eyewitnesses, released hostages, first responders, medical and forensic experts, and survivors of the Hamas massacres.

When this happened the silence was deafening.
And I think its important that we never tolerate this form of sexual violence ever.
Preach!
Preach!
Beseech!
IT STILL IS. It's been out-shouted by the students across America and around the world championing the terrorist rapist monsters who I'm beginning to think should get a shot at the girls I see on the news supporting them. Then maybe they won't have to wait to deflower their 72 virgins in the Garden of Allah.
It happened early in Israel on October 7th. Its happening in other places in the world right now. But people are denying it because of the polarization around the October 7th attack.
So this documentary is giving people the opportunity to hear directly from people who were there.
And progressive on campus are screaming to globalize the intifada. They want more of this, I guess.
The progressives on our campuses are too smart to fall for this Israeli propaganda. They know that the systematic sexual violence recorded in “Screams Before Silence" was perpetrated by Hamas at all, but by the IDF. The post-mortem genital mutilation was so easy any IDF member could do it. The live rapes were more difficult requiring trained IDF volunteers in Arab disguises. Of course they know the the released hostage testimony is just fabrications.
Dr. Caroline Orr Bueno of the University of Maryland has spoken out that these false accusations of rape were similar to the false rape accusations against Black men during segregation, and that Israel’s response was akin to lynching Palestinians.
Thank you for sharing
Apparently there's the beginning of a trend-- slowly some people are waking up to the fact that a "college education" may not be worth it (the time, the effort, and the outlandish expense).
I saw this on Twitter a while back:
Exactly, that’s why it’s more than fair for Chris to help buy out Adam’s debt.
Actress Susan Sarandon denies Hamas committed rape, justifies ceasefire rejections
Susan Sarandon claimed that Hamas was rejecting ceasefires because they were "terrible deals" and that accusations of Hamas committing rape were "myths."

As most know I post lots of movie articles and games and watch about one movie a day, and I promise that I will NEVER AGAIN watch a movie with that fucking piece of shit bitch in it, or use her name in any movie game I produce, or post any article about her and as far as I'm concerned it would be justifiable if she were to be treated by a whole division of her fucking Hamas heroes doing what they did to the innocent girls on October 7 and to the hostages thereafter.
One Extremely fucked up nutcase
She’s been batshit crazy for some time now.
Yep.
Here are the latest antics of the "peace-loving" Hamas supporters:
Protesters at Columbia University broke windows at the Manhattan campus’ Hamilton Hall early Tuesday
I can't help but wonder...what were they thinking?
Usually demonstrators' goal is to gain support for their cause (whatever it might be).
So I was wondering-- what were these protestors thinking? Do they actually believe they can gain support for their cause by acting violently?
With so many supporting the January 6 rioters they have seen what works so why not emulate. The Columbia protesters have caused similar protests across America and around the world. IMO evolution has become this.. .
The Jan 6th rioters? Please, they have been tracked down and charged- even overcharged in federal courts as fast as the FBI and DOJ can find them.
You want and accurate comparison? Try the Summer of Love "mostly peaceful" protestors most of whom have never been charged.
These college protestors are far leftists through and through. They may be arrested, but charged? That would mean we have a justice system where all are treated the same under the law. We haven't for a very long time. They know it and are following in the BLM and Antifa footsteps.
Apparently so.
I give Bill Maher mixed reviews-- he's has some really good shows, and some that flopped. But in this one he really explains the Arab-Israeli conflict very well:
(This came out around Christmas time, but it still timely.... he starts by talking about Bethlehem, a town that is located in what is now the West Bank):

-(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) -And finally, New Rule.
0:02
I know, it's supposed to be that magical time of year,
0:04
but maybe, what we all really need
0:06
right now, is a good dose of realism.
0:08
I see a lot of nativity scenes when I'm out,
0:10
as you always do before Christmas.
0:12
And I can't help thinking
0:13
about where that manger really is.
0:16
It's in the West Bank on Palestinian land,
0:19
controlled by the Palestinian authority.
0:22
In 1950, the little town of Bethlehem
0:24
was 86 percent Christian, now it's overwhelmingly Muslim.
0:29
And that's my point tonight, things change.
0:32
To 2.3 billion Christians, there can be no more sacred site
0:36
than where their Savior was born but they don't have it anymore.
0:39
And yet, no Crusader Army has geared up to take it back.
0:42
Things change. Countries, boundaries, empires.
0:46
Palestine was under the Ottoman Empire
0:49
for 400 years, but today, an ottoman is something
0:51
you put under your feet.
0:53
-(AUDIENCE LAUGHING, APPLAUDING) -(CLEARS THROAT)
1:01
The city of Byzantium
1:03
became the city of Constantinople,
1:05
became Istanbul. Not everybody liked it,
1:08
but you can't keep arguing the call forever.
1:11
The Irish had the entire island to themselves,
1:14
but the British were starting an Empire,
1:16
and well, the Irish lost their tip.
1:18
-(SMACKS LIPS) -(AUDIENCE LAUGHING, APPLAUDING)
1:21
-They, uh... -(AUDIENCE LAUGHING, CHEERING)
1:28
They blew each other up over it for 30 years,
1:31
but eventually everybody comes to an accommodation,
1:34
except the Palestinians.
1:37
Was it unjust
1:38
that even a single Arab family was forced to move
1:41
upon the founding of the Jewish state? Yes.
1:44
But it's also not rare.
1:45
Happening all through history, all over the world,
1:48
and mostly what people do is make the best of it.
1:51
After World War II, 12 million ethnic Germans
1:54
got shoved out of Russia, and Poland, and Czechoslovakia
1:57
because being German had become kind of unpopular.
2:00
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
2:02
A million Greeks were shoved out of Turkey in 1923,
2:05
a million Ghanaians out of Nigeria in 1983,
2:08
almost a million French out of Algeria in 1962,
2:12
nearly a million Syrian refugees moved to Germany
2:15
eight years ago. Was that a perfect fit?
2:19
And no one knows more about being pushed off land...
2:21
(SCOFFS) ...than the Jews.
2:22
Including being almost wholly kicked out
2:25
of every Arab country they once lived in.
2:29
-Yes, TikTok fans. Ethnic-- -(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
2:34
Ethnic cleansing happened both ways.
2:37
In Fiddler on the Roof, the family is always moving
2:40
to stay one step ahead of the Cossacks,
2:42
but they deal with it.
2:43
When they're leaving Anatevka, they say,
2:45
"Hey, it wasn't so great anyway."
2:48
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING, APPLAUDING)
2:53
(CHUCKLES)
2:57
"Come on. Like other countries don't have roofs
3:00
-you could fiddle on." -(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
3:02
-(CHUCKLES) -BILL MAHER: Now...
3:06
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
3:09
Now, that's not how they really felt,
3:11
but they were coping. They coped.
3:14
Because sometimes, that's all you can do.
3:16
History is brutal and humans are not good people.
3:20
History is sad and full of wrongs,
3:22
but you can't make them unhappen
3:24
because a paraglider isn't a time machine.
3:27
People get moved, and yes, colonized.
3:30
Nobody was a bigger colonizer than the Muslim army
3:33
that swept out of the Arabian Desert
3:35
and took over much of the world in a single century.
3:38
And they didn't do it by asking.
3:40
There's a reason Saudi Arabia's flag is a sword.
3:43
Kosovo was the cradle of Christian Serbia,
3:46
then it became Muslim.
3:48
They fought a war about it in the '90s, but stopped.
3:52
They didn't keep it going for 75 years.
3:55
There were deals on the table
3:56
to share the land called Palestine.
3:59
In 1947, '93, '95, '98,
4:04
2000, 2008.
4:06
And East Jerusalem could have been the capital
4:08
of a Palestinian state that today might look
4:12
more like Dubai than Gaza.
4:15
Arafat was offered 95 percent of the West Bank,
4:18
and said no.
4:20
The Palestinian people should know, your leaders
4:23
and the useful idiots on college campuses
4:25
who are their allies are not doing you any favors
4:29
by keeping alive "The River to the Sea" myth.
4:32
I mean where do you think Israel is going?
4:35
-Spoiler alert, nowhere. -(AUDIENCE CHEERING, APPLAUDING)
4:46
It's one of the most powerful countries in the world
4:48
with the 500-billion-dollar economy,
4:51
the world's second largest tech sector
4:53
after Silicon Valley, and nuclear weapons.
4:56
They're here, they like their bagel
4:58
-with a shmear, get used to it. -(AUDIENCE LAUGHING, APPLAUDING)
5:08
What's happening to Palestinians today is horrible,
5:11
and not just in Gaza, in the West Bank too.
5:14
But wars end with negotiation
5:16
and what the media glosses over is--
5:18
It's hard to negotiate
5:19
when the other side's bargaining position
5:21
is you all die and disappear.
5:24
(SCOFFS) I mean, the chant "From the River to the Sea."
5:27
Yeah, let's look at the map.
5:29
Here's the river, here's the sea.
5:32
Oh, I see, it means you get all of it.
5:34
Not just the West Bank
5:36
which was basically the original UN partition deal you rejected
5:39
because you wanted all of it and always have.
5:42
Even though, it's indisputably
5:44
also the Jews' ancestral homeland.
5:46
And so, you attacked and lost. And attacked again and lost.
5:52
And attacked again and lost.
5:55
As my friend, Dr. Phil says, "How's that working for you?"
5:58
(AUDIENCE CHEERING, APPLAUDING)
6:07
Look at what Mexico used to own.
6:10
All the way up to the top of California,
6:12
but no Mexican is out there chanting,
6:14
"From the Rio Grande to Portland, Oregon."
6:16
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING, APPLAUDING)
6:26
Because they chose a different path.
6:28
They got real and built a country
6:30
that's the world's 14th biggest economy now.
6:33
Because they knew the United States
6:36
wasn't going to give back Phoenix,
6:38
any more than Hamas will ever be in Tel Aviv.
6:41
-(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) -One of...
6:43
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
6:48
One of the leaders of Hamas says...
6:59
(SCOFFS) I'm sorry, who's the one
7:01
with imaginary dreams?
7:03
If I give you the benefit of the doubt and say your plan
7:06
for a completely Jew-less Palestine
7:08
isn't that all the Jews should die.
7:10
(SMACKS LIPS) What is the only other option?
7:14
They move. You move all the Jews.
7:17
(SCOFFS) Okay, I got to warn you,
7:18
there's gonna be some kvetching.
7:20
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING, APPLAUDING)
7:23
(SCOFFS)
7:28
You move all the Jews and we do this with what?
7:31
A fleet of trucks called Jew-haul.
7:33
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING, APPLAUDING)
7:41
And to where are we moving this entire country? Texas?
7:45
-(AUDIENCE LAUGHING) -Sure, they have room
7:49
and I guess we could put the Wailing Wall on the border
7:51
and kill two birds with one stone.
7:53
-(AUDIENCE LAUGHING, APPLAUDING) -Or we could just get serious.
________________________________
PERFECT!!!! Didn't just make the audience laugh, it made me laugh out loud as well. One of the things he said was about all the MANY offers the Palestinians were given by the Israelis for their own Palestinian State AND THEY TURNED EVERY ONE DOWN - NO NEGOTIATION, NO COUNTER-OFFER. Why? Because it required them to recognize that Israel was a Jewish State. How could they possibly allow that if what never left their mind, their unending absolute requirement, was "From the river to the sea"?
By the way, I note that with all the examples he gave of colonization and pushing the indigenous people out, he failed to mention what the Europeans did to the Native Americans. I wonder why.
The university student protestors are totally ignorant of the reality of the situation, and it makes me realize that the decline of educating towards ability to think critically, to wade through the bullshit to discover reality, will lead to a dystopian future. God help my young grandchildren.
How cute Maher thinks the PA actually has control of something.
The only thing the PA is concerned about are their wallets.
Besides Israel walled in Bethlehem a long time ago- making it a little hard to get to for outsiders. Not to mention the massive settlements there.
Many people think that (that Israel has too much land):
(Muslim world in green, Israel shown in red)
Yes, if you can find it without a magnifying glass. Makes me think of when I was a kid wanting to ski where there was a ski tow, but the private ski club had a tow, and a sign that said "No Jews Allowed".
I have no idea. Back in those days when I was a kid there were even restrictions on land titles. There was a fancy club in Toronto that was known to not allow Jewish members, and there is a story about one time during Christmas they had a Rabbi as a guest speaker. In the lobby they had a creche with a doll of the baby Jesus, and when the Rabbi saw it he is reputed to have asked "How did HE get in here?"
Whoops--- I almost forgot! For many people its considered "politically incorrect" to actually watch a video before commenting on it.
Silly me!
Or read the article on NT before commenting on it.
Why should anyone bother reading an article or watching a video-- if they already know it all?
