Watch This… If You Dare… If You Can… Screams Before Silence

That was one of the most difficult hours I've ever spent, and I can't encourage you enough to endure what I did. I'm talking about "Screams Before Silence," the new Oct. 7 documentary hosted by former Meta/Facebook chief operations officer Sheryl Sandberg and directed by Anat Stalinsky, best known for the Israeli TV series "Sovietzka." Consisting mostly of interviews with the survivors — some of whom also spent time as hostages — the movie also features devastating and uncompromising looks at the aftermath. Perhaps most upsetting are the smartphone videos, often cut into the interviews, showing you exactly what the victims experienced as the missiles rained down and Hamas terrorists went on their violence/murder/rape spree.

The film's focus is on the sexual violence committed by Hamas during its terror invasion of southern Israel. It took nearly two days to drive out the invaders, during which they murdered about 1,200 Israelis (nearly all civilians), committed an unknown number of rapes, and took 240 hostages. Maybe as many as half of the hostages have since been released in a few exchanges for Hamas criminals. Most of the rest are feared dead. "The booms of the rifles — they are getting closer to us, we understand that. We're waiting for them. It was like that," one woman said. "We're sitting and waiting for what will happen." Another victim told how there was no shelter to be found. "We literally sat on the children with our backs to the door to protect them. Then we heard yelling, 'Al Yahud! Al Yahud! [The Jews! The Jews!]' They were here. They were in our house."
