This Mamdani faux outrage is nothing but running cover for the atrocities of a report released, as well as the violence that took place in NYC against the synagogues and Jews in the streets, last night.


The most comprehensive report to date on October 7, with 400 witnesses and experts, finds that Hamas has 'deliberately and systematically resorted to sexual and gender-based violence.'

A new report, published on Tuesday, May 12, by The Civil Commission, a private Israeli organization, documents the severity of sexual violence committed by Hamas fighters on October 7, 2023, and during the subsequent captivity of hostages held in Gaza. To compile this 280-page investigation, the non-governmental organization, which specializes in studying violence against women and children, said it collected more than 400 accounts from survivors, first responders, soldiers, former hostages and experts. The group also relied on more than 10,000 photos and videos taken during the terrorist attack launched by the Palestinian Islamist organization against Israel.

Reading the document is particularly harrowing, reflecting the scale of the violence committed on October 7, when more than 1,200 people of all ages were killed and 251 hostages, both living and dead, were taken captive to Gaza. "Hamas and its collaborators deployed recurring tactics of sexual abuse and torture against victims. These crimes were marked by extreme cruelty and profound human suffering, often inflicted in ways designed to amplify terror and humiliation," the authors of the report emphasize.

It was a pretty hairy time, Coriolanus. In retrospect, even harrier than we thought. (Per Robert McNamara: "It wasn't until January, 1992, in a meeting chaired by Castro in Havana, Cuba, that I learned 162 nuclear warheads, including 90 tactical warheads, were on the island at the time of this critical moment of the crisis" www.errolmorris.com). At my high school we were told if war started - there were some missile silos in nearby hills - townies could hop the school bus for a ride home; those of us living outside town could hoof it. Our prospects looked dim. Give JFK credit, he made good use of TV to build support. Personally, I found the published photos taken during U-2 overflights of Cuba to be fascinating.
