A reminder of the crimes of October 7th and a small part of this horrific crime


 A reminder of the crimes of October 7th and a small part of this horrific crime

Gil Taasa had mere minutes to grab his sleeping sons and race to the bomb shelter on the morning of Oct 7.


Palestinian t*rrorists spotted the family’s hiding place and threw a grenade inside the shelter to m*rder the innocent children and their father.


In an act of heroism, Gil threw himself on the grenade to save his sons.

Then the Palestinian t*rrorists marched the boys at gunpoint out of the shelter and back into their home where they were held hostage while bleeding, injured, and still in their underwear.

The sound of the boys crying for their father is absolutely heartbreaking.

Don’t look away. This is what a real genocide looks like.
Graphic Warning.

These are the voices of Israeli children as Hamas terrorists butchered their family inside their own home.

Their father Gil, a firefighter, threw himself on top of a grenade to shield his children. He died instantly. His wife Sabine watched her children bleed in front of her. One lost his eye. Another was scarred for life. Her oldest son, 17-year-old Or, was gunned down on Zikim Beach. All of this in a single morning.

I don’t even know how to describe the rage that comes from watching this. Every parents worst nightmare, multiplied by the very essence of evil. And yet this is what Hamas supporters around the world call “resistance.”

We live in a time where people can watch children crying that their father is dead, that they think they are about to die too, and somehow still have the gall to paint Hamas as freedom fighters. That level of denial is inhuman.

What makes me sick is knowing this family will never be whole again, while Western activists, media outlets, and politicians spend their days explaining away and excusing the very people who destroyed them.

This footage should not be necessary. The horror of October 7th should have been enough. But since the world insists on forgetting, survivors like Sabine have to relive their worst nightmare so others can remember why we're still fighting.

Israel's only choice is to ensure this can never happen again. That is the bare minimum duty of any state to its citizens.

The Taasa family has asked that the footage not be circulated inside Israel, to protect the privacy of the children. Please respect their request.

Watch it once, and then remember it.

Because every time someone excuses Hamas, this is what they are excusing.
