If you doubt the horror of what happened to more than 1,200 people in Israel on Oct. 7, and it seems that a lot of people, especially on American college campuses, doubt it or believe it was justified, then you should know that archaeologists have been brought in to help identify victims of the Hamas attacks. Children who were held hostage are coming back with reports of beatings by Palestinians in crowds and being forced to watch the Hamas videos of the Oct. 7 slaughter. Laura Dodsworth at The Critic Magazine describes some of the sheer evil that went on.
One of the most encouraging things I’ve read is the report by Douglas Murray of the joy expressed for the returning hostages. His report is published at The Free Press. Murray has been giving interviews left and right, and he doesn’t mince words when it comes to describing what he’s seen and experienced.
And if you’ve ever doubted the world has lost its mind, then subscribe to the The Free Press for its coverage of stories ignored by the mainstream media and especially its Friday roundup.
