7 October Parliamentary Commission Report [View all]

Personal note: I still see people who say that Oct 7 didn't happen or didn't happen as reported first-hand by victims. Some will say that it was a false flag. Others will say that Israel did all the slaughtering. Others just say, Netanyahu. I'd like to blame stupidity for this, but it's not just that. It is a pernicious desire to push the antisemetic agenda and obfuscate the truth in whatever way possible. And it is abhorrent.

At least until recently, Holocaust deniers have been shunned from polite Western society. The same cannot be said for those who downplay, equivocate, or outright deny Hamas’s slaughter of Israelis on October 7, although those massacres were better documented than any others in human history. Such voices have only grown in volume and number since.

To combat such pernicious lies, the All-Party UK-Israel Parliamentary Group, led by the eminent British historian Andrew Roberts, recently issued a comprehensive report of what happened on that terrible day. It documents, in painful detail, the massacres at each and every site in southern Israel, and identifies each of the victims.

The full 32-page report is here, and yes, it is horrific and detailed, so a warning for those who may be traumatized by the truth:
