The New York Times has published a lengthy investigation into the sexual violence and brutality faced by women in Israel on October 7 by Hamas terrorists. Their two-month long investigation was based on: - Interviews with 150 people including witnesses, medical personnel, soldiers, and rape counselors. - Video footage, photographs, and GPS data. Witnesses and other visual evidence reveal a harrowing portrait of that day. Here is a gift link for the full story without a paywall: nytimes.com/2023/12/28/world…

A @UCSanDiego alumnus, I’m appalled to see these (hopefully not) students tearing posters of kidnapped children, some of them orphans who witnessed their parents murdered. #HamasisISIS

"They just said, we found Emily. She's dead. I went, 'Yes!' and smiled, because that is the best news of the possibilities I knew. She was either dead or in Gaza. And if you know anything about what they do to people in Gaza, that is worse than death." Emily was 8. ~@CNN

Some of us have decided to read text messages sent from the last moments of people’s lives in Israel. Yes, this is disturbing and heartbreaking, but it’s something I have decided to do in hopes it can continue to convey the depth of pain and suffering the Jewish people and the Israeli population are experiencing as we defend our right to exist. #TheLastMessage #HamasisISIS

Just few months ago, I was privileged to meet Ofir Liebstein, the Head of the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council, in a sustainable agriculture hackathon. Today he was murdered by terrorists while defending citizens. This is what Israel stands for 🇮🇱
