Israeli authorities screened footage of Hamas's October 7 atrocities to Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and other pro-Palestinian flotilla participants upon their arrival in Ashdod on Monday, shortly after the IDF intercepted their ship, the Madleen, in international waters.
According to Defense Minister Israel Katz, the activists refused to continue watching the film after seeing the brutality of the attacks.
"These antisemitic flotilla activists closed their eyes to the truth and once again proved they prefer the murderers over the victims,β Katz said. βThey continue to ignore the atrocities committed by Hamas against Jewish and Israeli women, the elderly, and children.β
The activists were given the option to sign a voluntary departure form or face arrest after 96 hours. Among those refusing to leave is French MEP Rima Hassan.
Hassan has previously drawn wide criticism for her denial that the Bibas family, excluding Yarden Bibas, were murdered, her claim that the October 7 massacre was "legitimate" and her insistence that Palestinians in Europe should be allowed to join the "resistance."

You should watch this fake video I made about them first, then you'll change your mind.π

Iβve seen first-person clips of October 2023 atrocities attributed to Hamas.
Do you have any idea if those are real or not? Given how self-incriminating those would be, I find it odd that Hamas would upload those videos.
If they're coming from Israeli-military-affiliated, I'm 100% not believing due to the source. Not trusting anything that comes from child-murderers.
