In a closed session held at the Embassy of Israel to Georgia on November 14, 2023, Georgian media representatives were confronted with a harrowing documentary detailing the events of October 7th in Israel. The film, a chilling mosaic of footage sourced from various live cameras in the southern cities of the country, dashboard cams, Hamas body cams, and a disturbing array of live videos disseminated by terrorists and their victims,vividly portrayed the atrocities committed.
The shocking scenes depicted in the documentary force one to confront the sheer cruelty and inhumanity of the offenses committed by Hamas. There exists no justification on our planet for the brutal murder of civilians – individuals shot, burnt,beheaded and brutally tortured in their homes, cars, and along the peaceful streets of cities and Kibbutz areas. Fourteen hundred victims, men, women, children, and infants, alongside powerless elderly, evoke a visceral reaction, leaving one with a single, haunting question: Why? What for?
Repeated chants of “Allah is Great” accompany the grotesque images of terrorists reveling in their acts, brandishing weapons in favor of their god, dancing callously on the blood and bones of their innocent victims. Yet, there is no divine will in these actions; it is not Allah who has sent these people for massacre and murder. Rather, it is Shaytan, the demon of radical Islamic propaganda!
Consider the unsettling question: How deeply indoctrinated must these young Hamas individuals be to celebrate such an insane feast of blood? It becomes evident that they have been nourished with a toxic cocktail of constant victimization, TV propaganda, and topped with Islamic radicalism from an early age.
The Western world must awaken to the reality that financial support for Hamas has inadvertently nurtured a monster. This monster has taken all the people of Gaza hostage, with funds intended for healthcare, education, and population well-being diverted to global propaganda and weaponry. The grants and donations from the EU and the USA are invested in constructing multilayer underground bunkers beneath civilian objects.
Instead of rallying in the streets of London, Paris, and New York with unclear message in support of Palestine, is not it more reasonable to declare a fight against Global Terrorism. It is time to liberate the people of Gaza from a terrorist government that has held them hostage for decades. Hamas fully responsible for the poverty and devastation in Gaza. The international community should unite to unmask the true faces of terrorists, hypocritically hidden behind the façade of Islamic faith, establishing falsely promising goals like the demonization of Israel and reveal their true motives rooted in power, money, aggression, and deep-seated superiority complexes.
The only certainty in this situation is that violence begets violence, perpetuating an endless cycle leading nowhere. Israel, like any nation, yearns for a peaceful neighborhood conducive to growth and prosperity, echoing the aspirations of the civilized world.
Islam, at its core, is a peaceful religion. Let us refocus our efforts on guiding the people of Gaza away from a violent regime and imposed false ideas.
Meanwhile the objective is clear: 239 hostages remain captive. It is a plea to the world to unite and BRING THEM HOME NOW!
The time for global solidarity against terrorism is now!
