Shoebat.com has discovered a video from December of 2022 showing a major Hamas rally in which Hamas leaders tell the Gazan people to burn Jews and that the Palestinian cause will bring the whole Muslim world in a war against Israel. You can see the video, with our subtitles, here:
So much of the media is sympathizing with the Palestinian cause, making it out that the horrific violence that took place on October 7th has to do with just land and that Gazan militants are simply poor freedom fighters. What is shown so much are videos of bombed buildings in Gaza. It is incessantly said that we must separate Hamas from the people of Gaza, as if dominating political parties are not reflections of the populations that vote for them (and Hamas, according to Norman Finkelstein, was democratically elected). What is not shown much are the seas of raging crowds of Gazans praising Hamas. In the 35th launch festival of Hamas — which was live streamed on December 14th of 2022, one can see Hamas leaders speaking before a crowd of tens of thousands of Gazans. One of the speakers is seen telling the crowd to “Arise and burn!” that is, to burn Jews, which is exactly what happened in the holocaust that took place on October 7th in which Hamas terrorists tied people together with metal wiring and burned them alive. The next speaker, Ramzi al-Oudf, who leads the nasheed team called Thawra (Revolution), is anouncing to the masses that
There’s going to be a surprise that will reach our people in Jerusalem. The first combatant mission will come out of Gaza. … We’re coming! By Allah the great, we are coming! Just as you see the banners that you have here, by Allah, they will be planted on the corpses of the Jews!
It has been reported “that Hamas trained for the attack in plain sight for at least two years” and that Egyptian intelligence repeatedly warned the Israelis that Hamas was planning “something big” against Israel. Well, in this major Hamas rally from December of 2022, one can see this Hamas speaker saying, “There’s going to be a surprise that will reach our people in Jerusalem”. And this same event, another speaker is heard telling the people to burn the Jews. This same speaker, Ramzi al-Oudf, is seen using the terms “chili” and “chili pepper” to figuratively exhort the people to burn Jews:
Did you eat chili today? Should we give them chili peppers today? Should we feed them? Burn them in the battlefield, burn!
This is what Hamas did. They burned homes and people alive. Forensic investigators both from Israel and abroad saw the horrors in the charred bodies that were discovered in the aftermath of the horrific massacre. The following photo was described by Aaron Porris:
Hands belonging to one of the victims killed by Hamas on October 7, 2023. The victim was bound at the wrists—as seen by marks that the bindings left behind—and then burned alive.
There was something else that was seen; it was what appeared to be just a charred object, but it would never have been seen as something human from the perspective of just our eyes. Its two human spinal cords, one of a child and the other of an adult, tied together with metal wire:
They were bound by metal wire, and burned alive. Is this not what these Gazan thugs told their people to do? To “arise and burn” and “Burn them in the battlefield, burn!” “When you do this job downstairs, you get detached,” explained Dr. Chen Kugel, the head of Israel’s National Center of Forensic Medicine. “But then you learn the stories and connect to the people. It’s hard not to feel the tragedy. It’s so big. And when I go to the Shura camp [where deceased bodies in Israel are first collected] and see containers like you’d see at the port—but they’re all full of bodies… And you hear the stories—that behind their charred bodies, something terrible happened—it’s very difficult. I’ve seen many things in my 31-year career, but the magnitude and the cruelty [here] is terrible”.
You can see in this video the charred bodies, alongside the other carnage done by Hamas:
