‘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.

"Haley, Gluesenkamp Perez, Ocasio-Cortez and Lawler did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment."

One wonders if Tlaib and Omar were sitting in the back smiling and munching on popcorn.

I guess the Democrats that were disturbed by the video must still have a functioning soul. Wow, who knew.

I don’t trust any of them. Masquers and fakes the lot of them.

Where is this 45 minute video that had House members all shook up? I read that even AOC saw it.

I clicked the link. And links within the links. And then links on top of other links.

Can’t find it.

I’d love to see it. And for Pali (Hamas) supporters to see it.

[Red Badger]

It’s classified...............

[MeanWestTexan]

The person who needs to see it is AOC.

She won’t watch it, of course.

The two squad Muslims would laugh.

House lawmakers on Tuesday attended a screening on Capitol Hill of the video assembled by the Israeli government which shows footage of Hamas’ brutal attack on Israel on October 7. The roughly 45-minute video includes graphic footage of the murders and atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists who infiltrated Israel that day. Some of the footage was taken from the terrorists’ body cameras. The screening was attended by lawmakers from both parties, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Greg Casar (D-TX), and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). According to Jewish Insider, lawmakers left the screening largely in grave silence, visibly shaken, several...

Curious if she says anything.

She doesn’t strike me as evil but rather stupid and uninformed.

The letter follows reports that Ocasio-Cortez was among about 100 members of Congress who watched a 45-minute video showing the Hamas attack. The Tuesday viewing was organized by the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The footage left the lawmakers very distressed, with some in tears, according to Jewish Insider. Photographs taken after the viewing show Ocasio-Cortez consoling a colleague.

The experience did not change AOC. She wrote a letter to Biden afterwards pushing for a ceasefire. There is no fixing stupid. It’s like disarming law abiding citizens to stop violence. The end result is icreased violence. A cease fire in Gaza gives Hamas room & time to regather & shows them that there are no consequences for their atrocities.
