New in PJ Media:
Hamas’ massacre of 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023, was a singular event in world history. This is true not solely because of the breathtaking savagery of those attacks but because of the campaign that began almost immediately after them to turn the perpetrator into the victim and isolate Israel on the global stage.
The fact has been only sparsely explored, but both the attacks and the anti-Israel reaction were planned long in advance. Now, a new documentary from the courageous and renowned filmmaker Pierre Rehov brings to light the seeds of the massacre, some of which were planted centuries before, and the powerful forces that have worked so energetically since Oct. 7 to turn the world against Israel.
Rehov, who has given the world numerous justly acclaimed documentaries defending Israel and revealing the actual mindset and goals of the Palestinian jihadis, has produced his crowning work to date in “Pogrom(s).” This chilling but highly informative exposé begins with a definition of the word “pogrom” itself: “A violent riot incited with the aim of massacring or expelling an ethnic or religious group, particularly Jews.” While Oct. 7 was certainly a pogrom, the parenthetical plural reminds us that there have been many others, and if those who planned Oct. 7 and then skillfully manipulated public opinion after it get their way, it won’t be the last.
“Pogroms(s)” combines captured Hamas footage of Oct. 7, which was produced so that Islamic jihad sympathizers the world over could rejoice in the butchering of Jewish civilians, with new interviews with a wide array of experts on Islam and terrorism in order to provide a unique insight into what drove the Palestinian Arabs who perpetrated the attacks to celebrate what they were doing and what led to the demonization and isolation of Israel after the attacks, despite their unparalleled barbarity.
Unlike other films that have covered the horrific events of that fateful day, “Pogrom(s)” makes no attempt to play on the emotions of the viewer, nor does it linger on the bloodiest footage of the attacks in an attempt to arouse fury and rage against the attackers. Rehov, always deft at striking and maintaining the tone that best befits the subject at hand, instead offers a searching exploration of the historical context of the hatred of Jews that led to Oct. 7, as well as of the strategies that the Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar, and their leftist allies and useful idiots in the West employed in order to turn the attacks to their own advantage.
That is not to say, however, that “Pogrom(s)” is a clinical or academic examination of the causes and aftermath of Oct. 7. Even those who are familiar with the horrific events of that day will find the footage taken from Hamas GoPro cameras to be utterly chilling. Hamas jihadis exultantly shout “Allahu akbar” as they aim machine gun fire into the bungalows where Israeli civilians are seen moving.
There is more. Read the rest here.

I’m not sure I could watch it, seeing the parts I have already seen of the butchering, demonic and depraved as it was; and will be again if the mozlums can go forward with their evil plans.
One thing: Joy is a part of the fruit of God’s (the Bible God) Holy Spirit. Those who take such pleasure in the rape, torture, murder and other atrocities as did the ‘palestinians,’ do not have “joy” as they cannot have God’s Holy Spirit.
Glee is more appropriate for what they felt…and still feel; demonic glee.
I hope the film gets widespread showing and people who have been sitting on the fence, finally see the Truth.
Ezekiel foretold the hatred Persia and the other nations would have and show against Israel. Thousands of years ago.
and OT
“”WP” reports that American officials are outraged that Israel did not inform them of the planned assassinations of Hezbollah or Iranian commanders.”

I cannot stand America’s bossy, bitchy and authoritarian attitude to Israel.
They’re so servile to the Arabs and so vile to the Jews.

To go over in some detail three of the words of the title of this ,which are “Why it Happened”
It happened because the jihadist OF Hamas on October 7th 2023 mass murders were the result following the instructions of Islam’s ‘holy book”, the Qu’ran which instructs devout Muslim to engage in the violence and killing of “disbelievers “ As found in ,for example 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4.
The Quran also teaches Muslims to hate the Jewish people , For that so called “Glorious Quran” even claims the Jews are really “swine and apes in human form.” As seen in the Qu ‘ran in 2:65; 7:166.; 5:60.
Therefore, an important question needs to and should be asked “Is the Qu ‘ran true or a religious hoax?”
Likewise, it’s also appropriated to ask ” Does the Qu’ ran have errors and contradictions in it ?
The answer to that question is found on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Qu‘ran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Qu’ran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Qu ‘ran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.”
Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran.
Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” In addition , in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.”
In conclusion, the Qu ‘ran which Hamas is based on is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.

To answer ,again, in another way three words that are part of this article heading , they are “Why It Happened” It occurred because of the Quran instructing in the violence and killing of people who are non-Muslims and the Muslims of Hamas had been able to carry out all the horrendous murders and cruel heinous vile sex affront against their innocent victim because they have her their hearts made hard and made callous by Islam.
To explain this, above, thesis statement about October 7th 2023 and those jihadists atrocities, as, rape and murder, committed by those vile and heinous jihadists of Hamas and afterwards are a result of the teachings , doctrines , of Islam with it’s Quran as found in Surah 2;191. 4:48. 9:5,123 47;4] do cause and inspire such systematic heinous vile and despicable sexual violence against Israeli women and girls by the jihadists of Hamas during and after their murderous jihad on October 7th is horrendously horrific 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.
Tony Rice says
I have read GOD did not speak to Muhammad ( who supposedly was unable to read and write ) but it was the angel Gabriel and who spoke to Aisha, NOT Muhammad. The Koran was assembled a hundred or more years after and by several persons, so it’s authenticity is highly dubious. Despite the charge in the Koran to kill Jews in particular ( wherever you find them ), much in Koran is copied from the Torah and Christian Bible. Killing , rapes, slavery and auctioning of captured women is suggested, in such direct contrast to the Christian Bible and religion, ISIS were true exponents. The requirements and suggestions in the Koran are in direct contrast to the Christian Bible.

An excellent book on the subject is:
Fairy-Tale Islam Deceptions Masking a Dark Reality by Mateen Elass
Forward by Robert Spencer
The author grew up in Syria and became a Christian. Mr. Elass shows, with cited sources, in short concise chapters that:
That orthodox Islam is not a benign religion playing nicely in the world of Western multiculturalism.
Islam is really not a “religion of Abraham” and should not be grouped together with Judaism and Christianity.
The God of Islam and the God of the Bible are not one and the same. In fact, they are at heart antithetical to one another.
Western civilization is built on Judeo-Christian principles.
It offers proof that each of the bull that the western elites try to offer about Islam is bogus and unsupported by the evidence. A good counter balance against what our so-called universities and government are ‘preaching’.
