House Members Get a Screening of Hamas Atrocities – Twitchy
We all remember the holdout from the Los Angeles Times who refused to accept the notion that Hamas had beheaded babies during its attack on innocent civilians in Israel — he apparently would settle for nothing less than video of the beheadings to believe it was anything but Israeli propaganda.
The IDF has held a couple of screenings for journalists of video taken by Hamas terrorists on October 7. Israeli actor Gal Gadot arranged for a screening in Los Angeles, which was crashed by Hamas sympathizers … the same ones tearing down posters of kidnapped children.
Marc Rod of Jewish Insider reports that House members got a screening Tuesday, and many left crying.
Dozens of House members are currently watching footage from the Hamas attack on Israel. One member just came out in tears less than 5 minutes after going into the room.

“I’m feeling like I felt when I went to Birkenau,” Rep. Darrell Issa told me, shaking his head in disbelief. “It’s just war crimes. Unbelievable.”

The screening just wrapped up and the overall reaction from members is stunned silence. Many seem at a loss for words. Numerous members crying. Have been told by multiple people that it’s hard to believe things like this are happening in 2023.

I didn’t get a count but it looked from what I could see through the door like the caucus room was mostly full. So at least 100+. Speaker Johnson was there for a few minutes. Some of the folks who are supporting a ceasefire, like Reps. AOC and Casar, also attended.

Sara Jacobs: “It’s obviously horrific and gruesome and it’s hard to believe that in the year 2023 things like this are still happening, but unfortunately they are.”

Mike Lawler: “How anyone could call for a ceasefire after watching that — they’re not understanding what is actually happening.”

Haley Stevens: “I’m absolutely gutted. And I think seeing the video footage of people celebrating the killing of Jews shows what we’re up against. And the fact that anybody would encourage or condone what Hamas did that day. It’s outrageous…”

Stevens cont’d: “…It’s unbelievable seeing footage like that in the year 2023, in places we’ve all been.”

Hamas doesn’t live in 2023.
Byron Donalds: “I feel the same way I felt watching what occurred on social media. Israel must do everything it needs do to obliterate Hamas. Period.”

Ted Lieu: “Never again.”

My colleague has seen the same/similar video and wrote about what she saw. Senate lawmakers will have the opportunity to watch this footage on Thursday. https://t.co/daGSBlwxZs

So the Senate gets a screening on Thursday. This is video taken by the terrorists themselves that they uploaded to social media. What we saw was horrific … what we haven’t seen in unfathomable.
Good. They need to see it

That should be shown on the house floor with all members present and the Senate floor with all senators present and entered into the record for all the world to see. It is a massive mistake not doing this.

They need to play it at college campuses. They need to release it to the public. Transparency to combat Hamas’s lies.
— Lori Mills (@LoriMills4CA42) November 14, 2023
Just another reminder that Hamas started this. They allegedly planned it for years.
Emotions run high, but watching doesn’t change facts. Hamas attacks are brutal. The tears won’t erase the truth about their actions.

Maybe this will put an end to the political agenda of Israel bad, Palestine good.

Not only these things still happen in 2023 – they are celebrated by huge portions of the global population, including in the US.

There are still people in the replies — who haven’t seen the footage — who insist it’s all fake Israeli propaganda. It’s stunning how many people can’t accept that Hamas slaughtered more than a thousand innocent civilians, and actually go to great lengths to argue that Hamas wouldn’t actually do all of these things. They’re animals with an insane hatred of Jews instilled in them from birth … of course they’d do these things, and people are in the streets by the hundreds of thousands celebrating it.
