@GlennLoury This “bonus episode” of The Glenn Show, a conversation between me and Noam Dworman on “Friendship in a Time of War is worth a look/listen. Feel free to subscribe to my Substack if you like what you see/hear: … @chamblee54 @noam_dworman Thank you for this. It was far more reasonable than I expected I may have missed it, but I don’t recall hearing about the Israelis killed by IDF on 10/7. That is the one part of this nightmare that I was not expecting. … @noam_dworman Google around the Israeli papers, you’ll see there is some credible evidence that some Israelis may have been killed in the crossfire. It’s hardly anything for Israel to be ashamed of. … @chamblee54 Was the “woman in the black dress” killed by #IDF or #Hamas ? Her face was burned, which tells me it is possibly #IDF #alaqsastorm is going to be investigated to the nth degree. Will any of the Israeli missions in the resulting war be investigated?
“The woman in the black dress is a central figure in a controversial NYT story about sexual violence on October 7. … At first, she was known simply as “the woman in the black dress.” In a grainy video, you can see her, lying on her back, dress torn, legs spread, vagina exposed. Her face is burned beyond recognition and her right hand covers her eyes. The video was shot in the early hours of Oct. 8 by a woman searching for a missing friend at the site of the rave in southern Israel where, the day before, Hamas terrorists massacred hundreds of young Israelis. … Based largely on the video evidence … Israeli police officials said they believed that Ms. Abdush was raped, and she has become a symbol of the horrors visited upon Israeli women and girls during the Oct. 7 attacks.”
One of the many shocking items to come out about Al-Aqsa Flood is the IDF use of the Hannibal Directive. “The Hannibal Directive … stipulated measures to be taken when an Israeli soldier was captured during combat. Its purpose was to prevent the enemy from escaping with that soldier, even if it meant endangering the soldier’s life and the lives of civilians in the vicinity.” There are indications that IDF employed HD against civilians on October 7.
“Her face is burned beyond recognition” is the key phrase here. “This kind of damage cannot be explained merely by examining the light arms the Palestinian fighters carried with them. … The light weaponry that Palestinian fighters were armed with that day – rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and a few truck-mounted machine guns – cannot inflict that kind of damage to homes or cars. But tanks and aerial bombardment can. … It is most likely that these 200 bodies burned beyond recognition were among many others killed indiscriminately by great fire power, like Hellfire missiles dropped from apache helicopters, fire power the Palestinian fighters did not possess.”
If WITBD was killed by IDF, as part of the Hannibal Directive, then it is unlikely that she was raped by a Hamas actor. When we learn the answer to this, we will know more about what happened on October 7. Pictures today are from The Library of Congress
