Landmark UK report on Hamas massacre exposes worst attack on Jews since Holocaust
A Holocaust survivor murdered at age 91 and a baby killed just 14 hours after birth are among the victims named in the U.K.'s October 7 Parliamentary Commission Report, the most detailed Western investigation to date into the Hamas-led attack on Israel. The 318-page report, chaired by British historian and peer Lord Andrew Roberts, documents the deaths of 1,182 people in a 48-hour period and provides extensive evidence of atrocities committed against civilians. The report describes the assault as "a meticulously planned operation designed not only to kill but to terrorize through extreme brutality, looting and humiliation." It includes testimonies of group rapes of women and girls, some of whom were murdered, as well as evidence of sexual violence committed against corpses. It details the targeting of children, including infants shot in strollers or burned alive. Report Exposes Hamas Terrorist Crimes Against Families During Oct 7 Massacre: 'Kinocide' Roberts, one of Britain's leading historians and a member of the House of Lords, said that meeting Mandy Damari, the mother of hostage Emily Damari, "reduced me to tears." Speaking in an interview with Fox News Digital, Lord Roberts recalled visiting Kibbutz Kfar Aza and hearing from families of victims while the fate of their loved ones was still unknown. "At that time, of course, she didn't know whether her 27-year-old daughter, Emily, was going to be released or not, or whether she was going to die in Gaza," he said. "And I have a 25-year-old daughter, and so it was brought home incredibly powerfully to me." Read On The Fox News App Despite the graphic nature of the material, Roberts emphasized that the report was deliberately limited to verified facts. "We actually made the report much less than it could have been, because we insisted on only putting things in that could be double-checked," he said. "If we had put in things that we truly believe happened but couldn't prove happened, we kept them out." When asked what motivated him to take on the project, Roberts said, "The denialism that has already cropped up," including attempts to downplay or question the events of October 7. "It's quite ironic that as well as celebrating and indulging in their most sort of disgusting fantasies by wearing GoPro cameras, they also seek to deny that the whole thing ever happened," he said of Hamas. Hamas' Oct 7 Massacre Has Legal Scholars Creating New War Crime Category "October 7 denial," as the report refers to it, emerged almost immediately after the attacks and mirrors historical patterns of atrocity denial, despite the overwhelming evidence. "I thought it was really important to get a big, thick, well-documented, irrefutable, fully footnoted document out there that will stand the test of time," Roberts said. The report includes accounts of mass looting, arson and mutilation. It states that terrorists used victims' phones to send images to their families, booby-trapped corpses with grenades, and dragged bodies through Gaza. It confirms that "acts of sexual violence" occurred "across all sites" during the attack, and references forensic findings of partially or fully naked bodies.

He compared it to historical atrocities like the Rape of Nanjing in 1937. "Once Hamas got into a bloodlust, they were going out of their way to murder and kill absolutely anybody who came anywhere near them," he said. Despite the horrors, Roberts said the report also includes examples of heroism. For example, of Netta Epstein — a young man who "threw himself on a grenade to save his fiancée's life" — Roberts said such acts "stand up with the great acts of heroism of any age."

They become part of history very quickly, but the actual individuals involved tend to get forgotten." Asked what role democracies should play in countering denialism, Roberts answered, "The first is properly to memorialize the victims," he said. "The second ... is to see this appalling act of barbarism for what it is, which is a complete denial of democracy, a blow struck deliberately against civilization, and ... the most appalling act of racism." "Britain should be doing everything in its power to help Israel protect itself forever against such another attack," Roberts clarified that he was expressing a personal view: "At the moment, it seems [the British government] is not doing that at all." In the report's conclusion, Roberts and his colleagues wrote: "Our report will hopefully permit people to see such denials and justifications for what they really are: a perversion of and rejection of human decency. We owe it to the victims and their grieving families to set down the ghastly unvarnished truth about the sheer barbarism that Hamas and its terrorist allies unleashed on October 7, 2023."

Youngest October 7 victim was just 14 hours old, report finds
emb 0001 - publish then please The youngest victim of the October 7 massacre was just 14 hours old, a UK parliamentary report has found. The study also disclosed the existence of another Briton who died in the attack, bringing the total number of UK citizens killed to 18. Lord Roberts, the historian who has presided over the report, said its purpose was to produce a definitive account of the Hamas attacks to 'counter pernicious' attempts at denying or minimising the atrocities. The report's main findings – corroborating studies that have come out of Israel – found that planning by Hamas had begun in 2018, five years before the massacre; and that 7,000 militants had taken part in a 'co-ordinated assault' launched from Gaza on 55 separate locations in Israel. It also confirmed that the desecration of corpses had been 'widespread', including the beheading and mutilation of dead bodies which had also been booby-trapped with grenades. The October 7 Parliamentary Commission Report further concluded that 'acts of sexual violence' had occurred 'across all sites' during the attack and that several fully or partially naked bodies from the waist down had been recovered, corroborating previous findings by the United Nation's special representative on sexual violence. The youngest victim was identified as Naama abu Rashed, who suffered a gunshot wound while still in his mother's womb. He died just 14 hours after doctors performed an emergency delivery. The baby, the daughter of Bedouin parents, was born alive but died at 10pm on the day of the attacks. Her mother – also named Naama – had woken her husband in the early hours of October 7 to tell him she had started to have labour pains. She was nine months pregnant. The family, who are Israeli citizens, left their home in Ar'ara, according to the parliamentary report, travelling at speed in the direction of Soroka hospital in Be'er Sheba. But Hamas terrorists had set up a blockade at a road junction. The report states: 'At the Magen junction they came up to two vehicles that had stopped. Abu Rashed 'blinked his lights' and saw a truck with a carpet in the back. Suddenly, someone in the truck moved the carpet to reveal a machine gun and opened fire at the car. It then drove away. 'Naama alerted her husband that she was bleeding from her stomach and they tried to race to the hospital.' But Naama's husband Tarafi was forced to pull over a second time to change a tyre which had been shot out by the gunmen. The family came under Hamas attack a second time before an Israeli ambulance arrived and rushed them to hospital. The report states: 'Naama survived, but the bullet had hit the baby, still in the uterus, in her leg…. Although the baby was born alive – and was named Na'ama – she died at 22:00.63. At 14 hours old, she was the youngest of Hamas' victims on 7 October.' The report – for the first time – names all 18 British nationals killed in the attacks. It confirms that Rotem Kalderon, a 66-year-old teacher and resident of Kibbutz Be'eri, held dual UK-Israeli nationality. Mrs Kalderon had not previously been named in lists of British casualties. Her body remained missing and unidentified for two weeks after the attack on the kibbutz which borders Gaza. Sixteen British nationals killed in the initial attack had already been identified, along with a further UK citizen, 51-year-old Nadav Popplewell, who died while being held as a hostage by Hamas. His brother Roi Popplewell was killed in his home. Mrs Kalderon, a mother-of-three, locked herself in a safe room in her kibbutz house and messaged family and friends for two hours until her death at the hands of the terrorists. On Facebook, her daughter Mika Kalderon posted a tribute. Mrs Kalderon was born and raised on Kibbutz Be'eri but she had taken dual citizenship. Her father Michael Goodrich had emigrated to Israel, having worked as a PE teacher in the UK. Her daughter Mika Kalderon, wrote in a eulogy posted on Facebook after her mother's body was found: 'A week ago, we said goodbye to our beloved mother. The most beautiful wife and mother, vocal, free and inspiring. An inspiration, who always fought to fulfil yourself, who followed your dreams and who always listened and touched everyone.' She continued, 'I love you, and my heart is broken to pieces, but I promise to find the strength to continue. And when you meet Dad, hug him tight and raise a toast to our lives.' Writing in the foreword to the October 7 report, commissioned and published by the All Party Parliamentary Group for UK-Israel, Lord Roberts said: 'Holocaust denial took a few years to take root in pockets of society, but on 7 October 2023 it took only hours for people to claim that the massacres in southern Israel had not taken place. 'Hamas and its allies, both in the Middle East and equally shamefully in the West, have sought to deny the atrocities, despite the ironic fact that much of the evidence for the massacres derives from film footage from cameras carried by the terrorists themselves. 'The present Report has been undertaken to counter such pernicious views, and to lay down incontrovertible proof – for now and for the years to come – that nearly 1,200 innocent people were indeed murdered by Hamas and its allies, and very often in scenes of sadistic barbarism not seen in world history since the Rape of Nanjing in 1937.' He said the emergence of 'several' parliamentary candidates who had 'openly attempted to justify the October 7 atrocities' at last year's general election was evidence of a 'perversion of reason and rejection of human decency'. Lord Roberts' report has received backing from fellow historians in providing an 'irrefutable record' of what happened on October 7. Sir Niall Ferguson, a senior fellow at Harvard and Stanford universities, said: 'Those who wish to understand the repulsive, pathological nature of anti-Semitism should read the report. Those who doubt the truly evil character of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad must read it.' Simon Sebag Montefiore described the report as 'an important and essential record, chronicle and investigation of one of the most atrocious crimes of terroristic barbarity in modern history'. The report found a total of 1,182 people were killed in a 'large-scale, coordinated assault' by around 7,000 Hamas militants that had been years in the planning. Civilians accounted for 73 per cent of the victims, the report found. The oldest victim was a 92-year-old Holocaust survivor. Along with Ms Kalderon and the Popplewell brothers, the other British nationals killed by Hamas were: Bernard Cowan, 57; Sgt Nathanel Young, 20; Danny Darlington, 34; Jake Aaron Marlowe, 26; Aner Shapira, 22; Sgt Maj Dvora Abraham, 40; Yonatan Rapoport, 41; Lianne Sharabi, 48; Noiya Sharabi, 16; Yahel Sharabi, 13; Maj Benjamin Trakeniski, 32; Yannai and Liel Hetzroni-Heller, both 12; Sgt 1st Class Joseph Malachi Guedalia, 22; Dor Hanan Shafir, 30. Kemi Badenoch, Conservative Party Leader, said 'We have seen a rise in anti-Semitism since October 7th. On streets across Britain, weekly marches have spewed modern-day hatred of the Jews, often under the guise of 'anti-Zionism'. 'Too many are still deliberately distorting the events of that terrible day, which is why this factual record is an important reminder of what actually happened. 'As this report makes clear, it was a highly coordinated massacre of the Jewish people, including eighteen British nationals, by terrorists. I have personally heard horrific stories from parents whose children were stolen from them, and from first responders who witnessed sexual violence against women and girls. 'These atrocities unfolded before our eyes, and we must never allow anyone to undermine or justify unspeakable terror.' Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

The International Criminal Court is not doing its job
The International Criminal Court (ICC) should intervene only where national legal systems fail – a principle that is known as complementarity. So why has it gone after Bibi Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of a country with a legal system so independent that he is already on trial there? And why, with so much evidence, is no living Palestinian terrorist facing arrest by the ICC in connection with the Hamas-led October 7 attacks on Israel? Next week a panel of senior parliamentarians led by historian Lord Roberts of Belgravia will publish the 7 October Parliamentary Commission Report. The ICC should pay attention. For the report is expected to offer harrowing insight into the barbaric acts carried out by Hamas. October 7 was no ordinary terrorist act. The catalogue of crimes included murder, hostage-taking, arson, mutilation and rape – much of it recorded and live-streamed by Hamas. Even corpses were kidnapped. Israel had been routinely condemned for its blockade of Gaza which critics said was grossly disproportionate. But by 7 October Hamas had amassed vast quantities of advanced weapons and munitions. Far from being disproportionate, the blockade had in fact been far less than adequate. There is no doubt that Hamas intended to launch a widespread attack against the civilian population in Israel. Under international law, acts of extermination, murder, torture or rape committed as part of such an attack against civilians amount to crimes against humanity. Under the Genocide Convention, acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group may amount to genocide. That is what Hamas intended – and still intends. Much is being said about the alleged disproportionality of Israel's response. But proportionality is a much-misunderstood concept. Belligerents must ensure that in every attack the risk to civilian life or property is not excessive in relation to the military advantage they anticipate. What counts as excessive? It depends on the circumstances. In the past, grim ratios between combatant and civilian deaths are believed to have been employed by countries, including Western ones. Grim though they might be, the fact that they exist means that those belligerents are seeking to abide by the basic principles of the law of armed conflict: distinguish between civilians and combatants at all times, and never deliberately target the former. But the destruction of civilian life was Hamas's central objective. Proportionality also defines the measure of what overall a state can do in self-defence. The overall military force must be proportionate to the objective of stopping and repelling the attack and, where that attack was not an isolated occurrence, preventing future ones. With an attack on the scale of 7 October, and an enemy that controls territory and resources and publicly shares its intention to plan more attacks, it can hardly be suggested that Israel's legitimate self-defence objectives have been met. Imagine if scores of small towns and villages had been destroyed in Britain, with thousands killed and wounded, and hundreds raped, mutilated or taken hostage. And then imagine the enemy sitting a stone's throw away, continuing to launch rockets and planning more. What would be a proportionate response? The leaders of Hamas were so bent on the destruction of Jewish life that they orchestrated and executed the biggest pogrom against Jews since the Holocaust. The ICC should be acting against them, not Netanyahu. Lord Verdirame KC specialises in public international law Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.
