Inbar Haiman, 27, art student, was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7th.
She was supposed to be released with the other female hostages held in Gaza during the November hostages deal.
Hamas refused to release the female hostages, reportedly because they did not want the victims of rape to speak.
Inbar’s family was informed today that she was executed by Hamas in captivity.
May her memory be a blessing💔

“They violently raped me”
“Islamic Republic of Iran’s agents made us face the walls of the vehicle and gave electric shocks to our legs…They tortured me through beatings … They pulled down my trousers and raped me…I was really being ripped apart…I was throwing up a lot and bleeding from my rectum.”
Maryam, who was gang raped in a Revolutionary Guards detention centre, recounted that her rapists told her: “You are all addicted to penis, so we showed you a good time. Isn’t this what you seek from liberation?”
Sexual violence weaponized to crush Iran’s “Woman Life Freedom” uprising, documents in detail the harrowing ordeals of 45 survivors, including 26 men, 12 women and 7 children,
Security forces in Iran used rape and other forms of sexual violence to suppress last year protest after the murder of Mahsa Amini.
Amnesty International said in a new report published today.
State agents raped women and girls vaginally, anally and orally, while men and boys were raped anally. Survivors were raped with wooden and metal batons, glass bottles, hosepipes, and/or agents’ sexual organs and fingers. Rape took place in detention facilities and police vans, as well as schools or residential buildings unlawfully repurposed as detention places.
This is what exactly Hamas did to women in Israel on October 7 and we the people of Iran were the first ones who loudly condemned the savage brutality against Israeli women by Hamas terrorists. Because we especially the women of Iran know very well that the Islamic Republic and Hamas are cut from the same cloth and both use rape and torture of women as a weapon of war.
Israeli Women and teenagers were gang-raped, beaten, tortured and murdered.
Some were mutilated and set on fire, some had their lifeless bodies dragged around, spat on and beaten by wild and ecstatic crowds celebrating the “victory” of Hamas.
The horrifying images of these atrocities — filmed by the terrorists themselves — have been seen around the whole world.
In Iran we faced the same brutality. Last year after the killings of more than 700 innocent protesters and imprisonment of more than 20,000, many young teenagers told us that they faced raped in prison. We had many young protesters committed suicide after being free from jail.
For many years now I have been campaigning for women of Iran and Afghanistan, calling attention to their suffering under Islamic fundamentalism.
Iranian women and their Afghan sisters have long felt that their voices go unheard in the West.
Today, it is our Israeli sisters that have been raped by the same barbaric terrorists.
Whether it is the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Islamic Republic in Iran, or Hamas-Isis in Israel, we must collectively condemn the atrocities perpetrated against women in the name of this Islam.
We must stand together to resist and eliminate this violence against all women everywhere — no matter where in the world it raises its ugly head.
My message to Western Feminists: Do not abandon your sisters in the Middle East. Stand up to Islamist terror.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (#UNRWA) was established by the UN, in 1949, to aid Palestinians displaced by the attack against the nascent state of Israel in 1948. Even though there already existed The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) this separate agency was created by the UN General Assembly.
UNRWA has not solved, but rather exacerbated the refugee situation. Instead of resettling refugees, like the UNHCR, it perpetuates their claims and inflames their irredentist ideology. It’s schools, hospitals and various programs employ radical Islamist ideologues, propagandists and foot soldiers. It’s benefits fund terrorism and are a pillar of the festering sore that is the “right of return” to all of Israel and the restoration of a mythical Palestine that never existed.
Although UNRWA claims to aid over 5 million refugees, these people (and registered deceased and non-existent people) are not refugees by any definition. Refugee status is not maintained when people are resettled, let alone to offspring of those displaced.
UNRWA was wrong in conception and disastrous in execution. It’s 1.5 billion annual budget (funded by the US, other countries, and NGOs) is sponsoring terrorism, totalitarianism, anti-Western hate and virulent antisemitism. Their facilities, personnel and budget are co-opted by criminals. The sometimes ignore, and often aid and participate in terrorism and crime. It’s time to end the farce that is UNRWA. It is long past time to #DefundUNRWA. jpost.com/HttpHandlers/ShowI…

All these beautiful Israeli women are dead. Massacred on 7/10. Many of them tortured/raped. Since the world & its MSM doesn’t care to honour or remember them let us do it loudly from here. teapawt.net/notomedia5/status/1730…

How should an Arab like me feel when watching people who can’t read a word of Arabic say what Hamas is or is not?
Other than feeling good and trendy, do these supporters of Islamism have any stakes in the Arab world? Have they lost their life savings because of the endless war to “liberate Palestine?” Were their friends killed by the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah after these friends were accused of treason only because they disagreed with these Islamist militias? Has any one of these people ever met someone from Hamas? Or they imagine Hamas is like them, fighting for women’s rights, correct gendering, LGBTQ rights and liberty? What kind of stupidity are we dealing with here?

Woman walks around Beverly Hills dressed as one of the victims of Hamas to raise awareness of the October 7th attack.
The woman she is dressed as was seen in a viral video on Oct 7th with bloodied track pants after being violently raped.
She was then seen being bundled into the back of a vehicle with her hands bound behind her back.
Walking around Beverly Hills with a man dressed as a Hamas terrorist, the woman and her group drew a lot of reactions from passers by.

Remember this:
The Palestinians who will be released in the impending deal are convicted terrorists who are in prison because they tried to murder Israelis.
The Israelis who will be freed are innocent civilians being held hostage by terrorists.
There is no equivalence. None.

We are absolutely appalled by @BBCNews footage which appears to show a newsreader misquoting a Reuters report. The Corporation must issue a public apology without delay for this egregious misreporting.
ALT "We are absolutely appalled by BBC News footage which appears to show a newsreader misquoting a Reuters report which cited the IDF saying it was taking 'medical teams and Arabic speakers' into Al-Shifa hospital to help patients. The BBC Newsreader quoted the Reuters report as saying that the IDF was 'targeting medical teams as well as Arab speakers'. "At best, this shows a staggering lack of care when reporting on a highly volatile situation, which can have a knock-on effect all over the world, including in Britain, where antisemitic attacks have risen by more than 500% since October 7th. Incidents like this make a mockery of the BBC's oft-stated dedication to professionalism and impartiality. The Corporation must issue a public apology without delay for this egregious misreporting."
One should follow the money. This sounds worse than Noraid funding the IRA.

The UN's Complicity in Terrorism
1. The U.S. and E.U. now acknowledge the existence of Hamas terrorist military installations under many hospitals and humanitarian sites in Gaza.
2. Its becoming increasingly evident the UN takes in billions from jihadist sympathist countries and uses it to support their agenda in Gaza.
3. Numerous UN buildings have been found to contain rocket launchers, other weapons, and dungeons that held kidnapping victims.
4. Iran jails, tortures and kills thousands of women for not covering their hair -- and was just named head of the UN Human Rights Council. Iran also funds and directs Hamas.
5. UNRWA director Philippe Lazzarini released a bizarre letter denying widespread claims that his UN schools teach hatred and helped lead to the events of Oct 7. The letter is 100% sympathetic, and even groveling to Hamas, and fails to mention Hamas atrocities whatsoever.
6. Since Oct 7, the UNs hundreds of social media accounts have spewed out thousands of messages of pro-Hamas propaganda. They seem blind to the actual terror atrocities that took place on Oct 7, the 10,000 rockets that continue to be launched against Israel, or the hundreds of hostages held in Hamas dungeons in UN buildings.
7. We must critically examine the UN's support of Hamas, and ideologically and physically supporting the Oct 7 terrorist attacks.
8. If its shown that the UN not only failed at its mission of peace, but actually created an environment that nurtured terrorists, then it should be completely removed from Israel and its territories to prevent further harmful actions.
9. A real framework for peace and humanitarian efforts needs to be re-imagined.

💔💔 Those who murdered Vivian wanted to destroy any hope of a decent future for Israelis and Palestinians. I hope her life will be avenged by peace. That would be a true testament to her legacy.
My friend Vivian Silver, who helped make ALLMEP a reality & founded members @AJEECNISPED & @WomenWagePeace is dead, murdered by Hamas.
This is pic of Vivian with me & ALLMEP board, 5yrs ago last week. Overlooking a Gaza she wanted to be free, & at peace. Rest in power, Vivian 💔
Sign and share- stop the UN rigging.
I have alarming news to report. The U.N. Human Rights Council is now in session, but they’ve rigged the speaker’s lists so that I can’t take the floor.
Today, they're holding a debate on Iran. The Council gave the floor to numerous dictatorships, and to three “non-governmental” organizations which are in fact front groups for Tehran, all of whom praised the regime.
Yet UN Watch, which is the voice of dissidents and victims, is being censored.
When they debated Iran in November, our intervention was the most widely-viewed of the entire session. instagram.com/reel/ClXLdFWAk…
Now the dictators want to silence us.
And we know who’s helping them. According to a whistleblower from inside the UN, it’s the Human Rights Council’s Chief of Staff, Mr. Eric Tistounet, who gives orders to manipulate lists to prevent UN Watch from speaking, and to target me specifically.
According to leaked emails, we know that Tistounet tells his staff to anonymously post false and defamatory information about me online, and even to arrange with UN Security to try and bar me from entering the Council.
In October, we filed a complaint urging the UN Secretary-General to investigate Tistounet for his corrupt and abusive actions. unwatch.org/wp-content/uploa…
Nine months later, the UN has done nothing. Tistounet feels he has impunity, so he’s doing it again.
In this session, we registered to speak in debates on Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Venezuela and Russia. Yet each time, we were moved to the bottom of the list so we won't get to speak. Other NGOs in this session were allowed 20 speeches; we’re being prohibited from speaking more than once. As we documented in the complaint, it's all rigged.
Don’t let them silence your voice at the United Nations.
Please sign our petition, and urge all member states to demand that the UN put a stop to this abuse and injustice: change.org/StopCensoringUNWa…
