For 45 minutes, the film prepared by the IDF Spokesperson documenting the horrors that befell the State of Israel during the Simchat Torah Massacre was screened to Knesset Members today.
During the screening, MKs who couldn’t bear to continue to watch left in tears. MK Kati Shitrit was documented crying and shaking outside the auditorium as her office staff embraced her and calmed her down.
MK Mansour Abbas was also unable to deal with the horrors and left the screening crying. He told journalists waiting outside that “It’s difficult, I can’t talk.”
MK Distel-Atbaryan, who resigned as Hasbarah Minister after the Black Shabbat, tweeted on X that: “The screening of ‘the film,’ that uncensored film which journalists were already exposed to, today was the turn of the Knesset Members.”
“Outside the hall, the Knesset doctor offered anti-anxiety pills before watching, I had never taken such a pill. Today, I took without thinking twice. Amir Ohana said a few words before the screening, mostly warning us not to expose any concrete information from the film.”
“I held on in the hall for five minutes and then fled screaming, crying, and a shaking body,” Distel wrote. “Yes anti-anxiety pill, no anti-anxiety pill – I write to you the following words from an anxiety attack like I have never experienced in my life: don’t hate one another.”
“The monsters hate you enough, hate the enemy, hate the monsters. Every bit of internal fighting is an insane and utterly stupid waste of energy, invest this energy on one thing: wiping Gaza off the face of the earth.”
“Let the monsters of Gaza fly off to the southern fence and flee into Egyptian territory, or die and die badly. Gaza needs to be erased and fire and brimstone needs to fall on the Nazis in Judea and Samaria. Jewish fury which will shake the world. We need a vengeful and cruel IDF here, anything less is immoral, simply immoral,” she added.
