In the opinion of everyone who has watched 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 shown at the National Assembly on Tuesday, November 14, according to information from Le Figaro that 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 screened next Tuesday at 17:15 p.m., in the screening room of the Palais-Bourbon. The 120 deputies of the France/Israel friendship group will be invited to this event, where the use of mobile phones will be prohibited.
"Witnessing the Unspeakable"
This projection is "essential" in order to "fight against the oblivion of Islamist barbarism", 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," continued the Val-de-Marne deputy.
These images constitute a hellish plunge into ultra-violence, from the point of view of the Hamas terrorists since the images come in part from their GoPros and other phones. Others were filmed by victims in search of meaning in the unspeakable that befalls them. Scenes taken from surveillance cameras complete the montage of this tipping point into the horror of the Jewish state. The viewer finds himself, for example, on a scooter, mowing down young people fleeing into the Be'eri desert, only to come back to finish them off, Kalashnikov at point-blank range.

Despite criticism from those who see this rapid broadcast as an Israeli communication operation while the battle of images rages, this assembly of nightmarish videos have already been broadcast in some thirty Israeli embassies, including that of France, as well as to a whole panel of international journalists covering the Middle East. The MEPs of the France/Israel Friendship Group will receive an invitation from Mathieu Lefèvre shortly.
