‘I’m Gutted’: Congressional Members React to Israeli Military Film Showing Hamas Attacks on October 7

Members of Congress attended a screening Tuesday of the Israeli military’s footage of the Hamas attacks on Oct. 7 and many of the elected officials were deeply moved by the experience, according to the Jewish Insider.

The 46-minute film compiled by the Israeli military contains body cam and CCTV footage, as well as pictures from social media and victims’ phones, showing the brutal murder of hundreds of Israeli civilians that day. Many elected officials were silent, some crying at the film’s conclusion and Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington left only minutes after it began in tears, according to the Jewish Insider.

“This morning I viewed the horrific footage of Hamas killing, torturing, and kidnapping Israeli civilians,” Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens of Michigan wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I’m gutted. This is barbarism and an attack on all humanity. We cannot let this ever happen again and we must never forget.”

The film, which the Daily Caller News Foundation had the opportunity to see, shows Hamas killing civilians in their cars, homes and bomb shelters. Many clips included in the film show the terrorists cheering over dead bodies and celebrating the attacks. One Hamas operative calls his parents and tells his father to open WhatsApp to “see how many [Jews] I killed with my bare hands.”

Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters Tuesday that the auditorium where the screening was held was so quiet “you could have heard a pin drop,” according to The Hill.

“We had a large group of Republican and Democrat House members in the auditorium this morning, and you could have heard a pin drop — except for the sighs and the cries in the room because the video would make anyone with a soul cry,” Johnson said.

Needs to be shown on as many college campuses as possible.

You'd have to tell them it is a film of Israeli atrocities to get them in.

Then let them know on the way out.

I guess if the DEMs were truly disturbed, they would be in the faces of Tlaib and gang for their positions.

I think AOC should go to Gaza immediately and hook up with Hamas. She can ask them about her ceasefire idea.

It’s not going to be released to the public out of respect for the victim’s families.

Short Video of an RPG shot at a MiniVan was disturbing. IDF CAPTURED Videos are
Graphic.

That’s what they said about the Nashville tranny’s manifesto. They were lying there. They are lying here.

Releasing that video to the public would convince the world that Hamas is an evil Satanic depraved group equal to or even worse than Nazis.

Does anyone have a link to the film? After all, if it’s important enough for Congresscritters to see because it’ll impact their views and votes, wouldn’t that also apply to us mere citizens?

If anyone could see it some sexual weirdo would post it for children to see.... or some plain old idiot would post it for children to see. Lots of bad people in the world.

Tlaib, Omar and AOC need the Clockwork Orange treatment: force their eyelids open and make them watch it. Over and over.

I think it will eventually come out...maybe ten yrs?

......

This makes me wonder about the Holocaust. I was born shortly after the War.

In my small Southern school in the fifties, I NEVER heard anything about the War or ESPECIALLY about the Holocaust, the concentration camps, the Jews in Germany. Nothing. It was not until i was in my twenties before I knew anything. People, parents, teachers, neighbors, no one talked of the war or the Holocaust. My sister who is 3 yrs behind agrees with me: nothing.

Was this true in the rest of USA?

They ENJOYED doing what they did. Absolute animals. Commit an act of war, don’t cry when war comes.

If she can watch that and still push for a ceasefire, she’s not stupid.

She’s evil.

There were a lot of families of victims of the Nazi atrocities. It was showing what the allies found upon liberating the camps that raised “never again” in the public consciousness and showed what evil depraved pigs the nazis were. And the public needs to see these hamas atrocities in graphic detail to see what evil pigs they are. If this had been done to the arabs by Jews, the media wouldn’t have graphic images 24/7.

No. Born in 1946 and while growing up in the 50s had looked through a book of photos from the Holocaust. The mass graves, the tangles of dead naked bodies, the works. All was available to those who were willing to see. Of course my father was in WW II and the postwar occupation, so it was all close to us.

The only people who didn’t know this were in Congress.
My 3 month trip to Israel in ‘98 told me all I needed to know.
You would think that 911 would have educated USA voters.
If anything it has made them even more stupid.

These people are very dangerous and they will do anything to eliminate Christians and Jews to build worldwide Islam.
