War in Israel: film on Hamas attacks will be shown in the National Assembly

In the opinion of all those who have viewed the documentary, the unbearable violence of the images plunges the viewer into the unspeakable. The film of the massacres perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 in Israel will in any case be broadcast in the National Assembly next Tuesday, November 14, according to information from the Figaro which we are able to confirm.

At the initiative of the president of the France/Israel friendship group Mathieu Lefèvre, this 43-minute film of raw images, without commentary, will be broadcast next Tuesday at 5:15 p.m., in the projection room of the Palais-Bourbon. The 120 deputies of the France/Israel friendship group will be invited to this event, where the use of cell phones will be prohibited.

“Witnessing the unspeakable”

This projection is “indispensable” in order to “fight against the forgetting of Islamist barbarity”, comments Mathieu Lefèvre, interviewed by Le Parisien. “Nothing would be worse than forgetting what happened.” Parliamentarians, like journalists, must be able to bear witness to the unspeakable,” continues the deputy from Val-de-Marne.

These images constitute a hellish plunge into ultra-violence, from the point of view of Hamas terrorists since the images come in part from their GoPros and other phones. Others were filmed by victims searching for meaning in the unspeakable that befell them. Scenes taken from surveillance cameras complete the montage of this shift into the horror of the Jewish state. The viewer thus finds himself, for example, on a scooter, mowing down young people fleeing into the Be’eri desert, only to return to finish them off, with Kalashnikovs at point blank range.

Despite criticism from those who see this rapid broadcast as an Israeli communications operation while the battle for images rages, this assembly of nightmarish videos has already been broadcast in around thirty Israeli embassies, including that of France, as well as to a whole panel of international journalists covering the Middle East. The deputies of the France/Israel friendship group will, for their part, receive an invitation from Mathieu Lefèvre soon.
