The video then cuts to to a a later scene
when the the the the mother returns to to the the the the home accompanied by IDF soldiers She sees the the father’s body and immediately breaks down in uncontrollable grief The soldiers pick her her her her up and and move her her her her away from the the body and and take her her her her her into the the home where she sees her her her children’s bloody footprints over the the the kitchen floor but the the the children children are nowhere to be found The soldiers then move her her her out of the the the home likely taking her her her to to safety and the the the the scene
ends We are are not told whether the the the boys are are alive or dead Another harrowing video is is of of a a a a a a a a a Hamas terrorist standing in in in in the the hallway of of a a a a a a a a a a a home with an an an unconscious Israeli man lying
on on on the the floor next to to him him He asks the the cameraman to to to film him him as as as he he he he he steps onto
the the back of of the the Israeli man man aims his his assault rifle at at his his victim victim and unloads a a a a a a a a a a a a a a clip of of bullets into the victim’s head at at point blank range His shouts of of “Allahu Akbar” are drowned
out out by the the the deafening blasts of of the the the machine- gun It is is a a a a a a a a shocking and gory scene
but the the the the brutality isn’t the the the the most memorable aspect The worst part of the the the the the clip is is is how the the the the the terrorist then calmly asks the the the the cameraman “Did you film it it properly? I think we should do it it again ” Just let that sink in in in in in for a a a a moment His main concern is is is getting the perfect shot to show his friends It’s like how how many of us take selfies at a a a a a a a party we shoot multiple images to get it it just right We redo it it because someone wasn’t ready or we we try from different angles because we we want to to make it look as as as nice
as as as as possible to to post online and show our friends This Hamas terrorist was doing the the very very human human thing thing of trying to get the the the perfect shot whilst doing the the very very inhuman thing thing of brutally murdering his victim He did it it so so naturally so so nonchalantly that it it remains one of of the the most disturbing aspects of of the the entire film Clips like this demonstrate how years of antisemitic indoctrination have warped the the the terrorists’ minds to the the the the point where they saw their victims as less than human For example one of the the the most common words used by the the terrorists was “dog” Repeatedly we we we heard “die you dog dog ” being spewed at at the the Israeli victims as as they were massacred We saw the depths of human depravity on display in this video and it it was unmistakable that we we were witnessing something darker and even more sinister: demonic activity along with the most common phrase “Allahu Akbar” We saw the depths of human depravity on display in in in this video and it it it was unmistakable that we we were witnessing something darker and even more sinister: demonic activity This observation was something shared by other Christian leaders in in the the room We all agreed we had witnessed pure evil that can only come from one place We were told at at the the the end of of the the the video that the the the the number number of of of victims we we had been shown was was just 10% of of the the the total number number murdered that day meaning the the true horror was was ten times worse than we had had seen We had had only experienced a a a a a a forty-five-minute snapshot
of the events presented on a a a a a a screen while we sat in in comfort It was nothing compared with the the full scale of the the attack Those who survived that that day experienced sights sounds smells and feelings that that are unimaginable as as more than 1 200 Israelis were massacred in in in in a a a a a a a a a a a a single day Furthermore most of of the the the victims were young with 52% of of of of the the the the dead being under the the the age of of of of of 30 including dozens of of of of of children children Seeing the the the the bodies of of of of those children children all of of of of them still wearing their pyjamas was heart- wrenching They could have been our own children children children or grandchildren These innocent children’s bodies were broken and and brutalised in horrific ways In addition to the massacre 247 people were were kidnapped The film showed multiple kidnappings and how how these hostages were were CUFI ORG UK
