The full horror of what happened to them is now coming out. It is just what you expected. What is unexpected is that it was The New York Times, so often unfair to Israel, that published this detailed account. More on the rapes, tortures, and murders of Israeli girls and women on October can be found here: “In harrowing detail, NYT reports on weaponization of rape, sexual violence on Oct. 7,” Times of Israel, December 29, 2023:
In a comprehensive, horrifying exposé published on Thursday {Dec. 28], The New York Times detailed the systematic sexual violence against Israeli women and girls employed by Palestinian terrorists during Hamas’s unprecedented October 7 rampage through southern Israel.
The two-month investigation includes interviews with more than 150 witnesses, medical personnel, first responders, soldiers, rape counselors, and government officials, along with the scanning of video footage, photographs and GPS data from cell phones.
The piece begins with the description of a harrowing video that circulated widely in the days after Hamas’s monstrous assault on southern Israel that Saturday morning. The footage, filmed in the early hours of October 8, shows the partially charred remains of a woman whose face is burned beyond recognition, and who is naked from the waist down, legs spread, her black dress hiked up. Her body is lying beside a car that was set alight on Route 232, which runs parallel to the Gaza Strip, where many people trying to flee the outdoor Supernova festival near Kibbutz Re’im were massacred by Hamas terrorists. Some 360 of the 1,200 people slaughtered that day were from the rave.
The woman in the video was later identified as Gal Abdush, a 34-year-old mother of two from central Israel, who attended the Supernova festival with her husband, Nagi Abdush, 36. Police say they believe Abdush was raped before she was murdered and her body set alight. It took about a week to identify her, according to the report. Her husband’s body was found days later, and was so badly burned that authorities needed DNA testing to identify him.
The New York Times said it identified at least seven locations across southern Israel where women and girls were apparently sexually abused or mutilated. Those the paper interviewed described finding the bodies of more than 30 women in and around the Supernova rave site and in two nearby kibbutzim in a similar state as Abdush’s — “legs spread, clothes torn off, signs of abuse in their genital areas.”
Photographs viewed by The Times included ones of a woman in a besieged kibbutz who was found with dozens of nails driven into her thighs and groin. Footage viewed by the newspaper showed two dead Israeli soldiers at an overrun military base apparently shot directly in their vaginas.
A paramedic from a commando unit told the newspaper he had found the bodies of two teenage girls, sisters aged 13 and 16, in a room in Kibbutz Be’eri with their clothes ripped. One was lying on her side with “bruises by her groin,” and the other “was sprawled on the floor face down,” the paramedic said, “pajama pants pulled to her knees, bottom exposed, semen smeared on her back.”…
Mirit Ben Mayor, a police chief superintendent, told The New York Times she believed the brutal atrocities committed by Palestinian terrorists against Israeli women and girls on October 7 marked a combination of “the hatred for Jews and the hatred for women.”
Those who are capable of rational thought should, with such accounts as these, understand why Israel cannot possibly allow Hamas to exist as a military threat. This is only part of the story of what was done that day by the Hamas killers: the gang-rapes, the mutilation of bodies, the torture, the murders, and the hilarity exhibited — the joking, the laughing, the giggling — by Hamas killers as they did what they did to these Jewish girls and women. There is much more that has been left out: the rapes and murders of pre-adolescent girls, the slicing off of breasts, the seizure of girls not only by Hamas, but by those “innocent civilians” who accompanied Hamas on its rampage, participated in the torture and slaughter, and took back to Gaza their own female captives, to be used as sex slaves, as some may still be doing. But this is more than enough. The New York Times, so often to be condemned for its reporting on Israel and the Palestinians, this time deserves praise.
Istanbul_Chick says
I said it before and I will say it again: Those who did this and those who praise them, support them, or make excuses for them have forfeited all rights to be considered human. Their actions have dehumanized them.
tim gallagher says
I agree with your point of view, Istanbul_Chick. How evil all those people who are making excuses for the satanically evil vermin from hamas and even supporting them, are. I know that I consider them to be about as low as any human being can possibly be. Off to hell with all hamas scum (who should all be exterminated) and with all the vile creatures who support them in any way whatsoever. I have nothing but contempt for all those scum who support and excuse the sadistic vermin from hamas. You have to extremely evil to support such evil people.
carpediadem says
And many many people, including quite a few Australians are only too eager to exhibit their evil and pretend they’re on the side of humanity.
They’re outnumbered by the sane majority but sadly the sane majority don’t organise screaming marches.
tim gallagher says
Yes, there are plenty of these evil scum out here in Australia alright, and in all other countries around the world, carpediadem. They are sunk deep down in evil and yet, as you say, these people who support the Palestinians and their mates in hamas pretend that they are on the side of humanity
David M says
I agree, what did the dumb ass Muslims & their supporters expect was going to happen after they invaded Israel & killed & raped 1200 Israelis?
Israel is one of the countries in the world you don’t want to mess with, but the stupid Muslims seem to just erase their memory of every time they have attacked them in the past. Well now they are getting everything back at them, unfortunately innocent children are dying as well.
carpediadem says
They knew what would happen and it did. They got more hundreds of millions in money from the West for murdering Jews.
carpediadem says
The joking, laughing and giggling, not mention denial of these rapes, are distributed by antisemitic haters all over social media and in real life.
Truly hateful people. Holocaust Denial 2.0
Harilal says
Islam has carried out brutality in the same fashion as Hamas for the last 1500 years, since its inception, of Islam. India that is Bharat has suffered for 1000 years the same way. More than 100 Million Hindus were slaughtered this way.
History was hidden.
Nancy Albert says
Blood running in the streets in rivers is Islam’s method throughout 1300 years of slaughter. The videos MUST be shown to Christians across the globe to humiliate these brainless protesters chanting for genocide of Jews.
rick says
You cannot make “peace” with people like these miscreants. Eradicating them from the planet is the best solution. Whatever the final decision is that ends the Israeli military operation in Gaza, there should be a special division by volunteers whose purpose is to track and liquidate the Palestinians responsible for this outrage to humanity. However long it takes to bring the men who ordered this crime to justice, they should be considered “walking dead men” wherever they go until they walk no longer. These unspeakable acts are an affront to every human being on earth regardless of their religion, ethnicity or political view. These Palestinians separated themselves from the rest of what is humanity and stepped outside the entire human race. Their deaths should only be the beginning of the horrors their diseased spirits should suffer. An eternity in Hell is almost too good for them.
bagsgroove says
There should be a series of executions like that of the Nazi war criminals in Germany after WW2. Hang them all and show them no mercy.
Pray Hard says
“These unspeakable acts are an affront to every human being on earth regardless of their religion, ethnicity or political view.” Laughable.
The acts are not affronts to moslems. Where do you come up with this stuff?
Reziac says
Well, to be fair, Islam is not a religion. It is the politics of envy (proto-Marxism) with enough hellfire and loot pasted on top to keep ignorant goat-fuckers both terrified and busy.
tgusa says
In the Ten Commandments of Christianity If you take away the not in (thou shall not) you get the doctrine of islam, perfectly described.
Rpe says
I agree. You cannot talk with people that want the total destruction of your country and the people init.
Grannya says
To listen to a phone call of one person calling his mother to brag about killing Israelites was sickening to hear her say how proud she was of him! Sick parents raising sick children.
Walter Sieruk says
The systematic sexual violence against Israeli women and girls by the jihadists of Hamas during and after their murderous jihad on October 7th is horrendously vile and heinous to the most evil extent possible. Those jihadists Hamas by their brutal crimes of torture and rape of young Jewish girls and women have exposed they own vicious misogyny of the demonic evil mindset which is the resort of their religion which is Islam
Some naïve Westerners who don’t know and understand about the bloody and deadly essence of Islam’s jihad , might be shocked and stop and wonder “Just how can those jihadists of Hamas be so totally unconscionably evil to commit those horrendous sex vile heinous affront and hideous crime, actions ? “
The answer to that question is found in the Bible, which informs its reader that there are some men who are completely horrifically callous heartless and unfeeling because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [K.J.V.]
For them, that “hot iron” is Islam.
John Smith says
There vile evil behaviour should come as no surprise to anyone. This is exactly how their so called perfect man muhammad behaved, and every muslim is taught to emulate him.
gravenimage says
Grimly true, John–all a legacy of Islam’s “perfect man” Muhammed.
Peacelover says
I’ve been wondering what is being done all this time to any of the so unfortunate women,young or older,still being held by the Mus/Hamas savages. They are probably being ‘used'(you know what I mean) every single day and probably those savages are hoping to implant their seed in them hoping for,well,you can guess. I was going to say ‘evil seed’ but I won’t call a seed or baby that which wouldn’t be fair.
gravenimage says
Yes–for many of the victims, this horror is ongoing.
Reziac says
There comes a point where it may be better to admit the hostages are lost, so you can go after the savages full-throttle, and if the hostages die, so be it. Which is likely the kindest thing you can do for the hostages, to cut short their suffering.
Big Dude says
And yet we have these protests all over the world about how Palestinians are holed up in a concentration camp. There will never be justice, just revenge. If were up to me, I would flood the tunnels for a year or two. Let the UN feed the people in Gaza like it ‘always has.’ And covertly knock off these murderers one by one. Don’t go into Gaza. Just flood the damn tunnels for a year. The rats will die. And… I agree that the bosses elsewhere are dead men walking. No mercy. These are modern day Nazi’s. No mercy. Just death. No talking. Just death. And don’t worry about collateral damage. Otherwise these animals will kill again, whether one or two, or hundreds, or a thousand. You get rid of rats, you don’t befriend them. From the river to the sea, none of these should live or be… And maybe you ought have the demonstrators go to Gaza on education ‘tours’ like concentration camp visitors. They can help repair the area instead of wasting their parents’ money protesting. Those little pos.
Mike says
Israel also needs to try to get hold of the many billions of dollars that have been stolen by the top and mid-level Hamas chiefs and operatives.
FYI says
God bless these poor girls and women.No woman deserves to have such wicked things done to them.
No woman.
Of course there are good people in Gaza-i will trust that Palestinian Christians would share the horror as there is no excuse for what hamas did.I believe in the Biblical God’s Justice “They will be destroyed like wild animals.They will be paid with suffering for rhe suffering they have caused”{2 Peter 2 v 13}.It is a terrible thing to do to a captive woman who cannot defend herself.Typical islamic cowardice too to use women and children as hostages/human shields..rape is a horrific crime for which there is no excuse.The perpetrators deserve to pay for it.Christian folk should note that
Jesus Christ is a Judge remember- as it tends to be forgotten.
It is worse than murder in a way as it is a deliberate attempt to destroy the woman:it is also a spiritual assault on a woman’s soul.
John Smith says
Well said FYI, absolutely spot on.
gravenimage says
FYI, thete ae *very few* Palestinian Christians still surviving in Gaza. There are reportedly fewer than a tousand Christians there whi have not been driven out, murdered, or forcibly converted to Islam.
Mike says
Some years ago, there was one single Christian bookshop in all of Gaza, in Gaza City. Apparently, a Muslim came in and asked the owner why he wasn’t a Muslim. The owner simply replied, “Because I’m a Christian.” A few days later, the same Muslim guy shot him to death just for that.
Ade Fegan says
NYT deserves praise ? .. I dispute that ……..
How long has it taken them to come up with this SANITISED report ?
Hoi Polloi says
“the hatred for Jews and the hatred for women” that is islam itself.
So, Obama, I’m stilling waiting for you to define your called for “proportionate response” to this savagery and explain why you find it necessary to call for any kind of limitations that would thereby leave more Israelis vulnerable to this?
Keith O says
We hear and see reports about the atrocities committed by these barbarians and then everyone has trouble understanding why the Israeli troops are going at Hamas terrorists so hard in the Gaza strip.
Any man worth being called a man would be out for revenge. The saying goes “vengeance is mine sayeth the lord”, but he does subcontract.
Pray Hard says
Isis (moslems) did the same things in 2014. Oh, btw, hamas is moslems. Odd that, huh?
gravenimage says
Yes–this sexual sadism is orthodox Muslim behavior everywhere.
James Lincoln says
I could only read just enough of the feature article to be informed.
Just enough – and no more.
gravenimage says
I understand how you feel, James.
James Lincoln says
Thanks, gravenimage.
Sharon says
You have videos of the Palestinian jihadists
take DNA SAMPLES
MATCH THEM TO ANY DEAD OR jailed Jihadists
.then Hang them for War crimes .
Walter Sieruk says
That demonic jihad entity, Hamas, with is jihadists, have no limits, at all, to its cruel heinous and vile horrendously horrific Islamic evils that it so maliciously and murderously commits.
gravenimage says
What Hamas Did to the Girls and Women in Gaza
………………………………………………….
*Just horrifying*. Kudos to the NYT fr at least telling the truth in this one case.
ed says
islam is as islam does
tgusa says
When I read about what hamas did to Israeli females three words come to mind, the mother******* scum.
All of it brings to mind a quote from the movie The Outlaw Josey Wales,
“Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you’re not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb mad-dog mean. Cause if you lose your head and you give up, then you neither live nor win. That’s just the way it is.”
Jayell1 says
I am trying to get inside the mindset of the specimens who behaved in the way that Hamas operatives allegedly did here, and the prospect is way beyond mere criminally gross obscenity and into the realms of extreme sociopathological depravity that suggests an alarming level of apparently inherent latent near-insane mental imbalance inducing totally unmoderated psychopathic behaviour of a subhuman primeval uncouthness below anything you’d expect from even the most primeval organism and certainly not to be expected from any of the higher animal species. If I had any reason to question the extent of Israel’s retribution against these appalling specimens, the report here would force me to concede that any conventionally civilised response would be fundamentally inappropriate for what presents as a demographic element that is no more nor less than a fudamental aberration from normal humanity and to be treated in the way that we would any other toxic environmental contamination – complete annihilation for the safety of the rest of us.
What worries me is that this is the same demographic element with the exactly same mindset that drives and subscribes to islam, which is now infiltrating and polluting our societies in the West.

That right there is one of the best descriptions regarding the cult of islam that over all these long years, I have ever read, and not just in Gaza. No, everywhere they are, all over the world. I especially liked your word to describe them, specimens, not realty human in the contemporary sense.
Sincerely, from me, well done Jayell1.
MK says
These Oct 7 2023 events in Israel has happened to hindu women over 900 years occupation of India and has been happening since various parts of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh since 1947. In India the previous govt has blacked out news of genocide, rape murderers etc. By previous. Govt for their vote banks. 2 million Hindus were massacred in 1971 war and news never came out.
abu taleb says
Rape and torture toward women is sanctioned in Islam, so any knowledged muslim guilty too.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
No one in the U.N. or any person in authority should be allowed to speak or be given air time regarding the October 7th genocide unless and until they agree the to view the horror show recorded by the monsters on that day. The psychotic State of Gaza should be forced to have all of their children, ages 12 and above, watch this display of insane sadism. In this way the next generation might gain a clearer understanding of the evil that is afoot in their land. It is time, well overdue, for any country harboring the Hitlerian leadership of Hamas to give these demonic cretans up so they may face justice.
Jim Austin says
Hamas kills. They kill enthusiastically. They go on killing sprees. There’s no limit as to whom, how many they kill or how they kill. They kill men, women, old people, children, infants, healthy, infirm. They kill family members and long-time acquaintances as well as total strangers. They kill on the slightest provocation. They kill with no provocation. They kill their own.
They’re happiest killing Jews. They seek to kill Jews, all Jews, each and every one of them, wherever they can find them, but they also kill Christians, Druze, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, atheists, whatever. They kill Moslems of a different sect. They kill random individuals. They relish the grief, sorrow, pain and misery caused by their killings. They celebrate killings.
They kill liberals, lefties, commies, pinkos, pacifists with the same zeal as they kill their enemies. The bodycount will never approach sufficient heights to satisfy their insatiable lust for death.
Hamas’ leftist supporters observe all this and feel only empathy. They vicariously share Hamas’ lust for death.
OLD GUY says
These crimes against humanity are summed up in one word “ISLAM” and it is no different than any another hate group.
Udai Singh says
These depraved people did committed similar atrocities in India also. Under pressure of Indian Sensor Board what is shown in the Kashmir Files is gross understatement, say only 10-20 percent. For example no r@pe scene is shown where as r@pe was one of the main instrument of subjugation in 1989- 1992. Women like Sarla Bhatt, Prana Ganjoo, Girija Tikoo, Babli Raina, Asha Kaul and thousands more were gang raped, being Maale Ganimat माले गनीमत. Did the Left Liberal Lashkar & the Supreme Court did any thing ? In fact SCI did nothing about it.
Under concept of – Maale Ganimat माले गनीमत – Goods, children & women of Mushriks – idol worshippers – taken over in conflict are distributed among warriors.
We looked away when our Kashmiri sisters were being gang r@ped, our brothers were being slaughtered on genocid@l scale and driven out like cattle’s from their own land. Shame on us.
Kerala gave us Moplah massacre, Bangal Noakhali, Direct Action & 2-4May 2021 atrocities, Rajasthan – Ajmer 1980’s R@pes, and Valley gave us Pandit genocide , Mass rapes & ethnic cleansing.
We are heading towards G@hadi dominance. Make no mistake, forces of darkness are on relentless move, soon I & You will be given the 1985 – 1995 Kashmir treatment , here at our home, in every part of India. ?
Wazzup says
How pathetic google is
They just took me right out of posting comments on yt videos
