“Take off your pants,” “spread your legs” – From Hamas translation guide for October 7

  • Hamas October 7 language guide: “Take off your pants”; “Take off your clothes”; “Women here”; “Raise your hands and spread your legs”

  • Note found on October 7 Hamas terrorist: “Jews are a disease that has no cure other than cutting off heads and cutting out hearts and livers”

 

Palestinian Media Watch attended a military intelligence briefing yesterday and we were shown several previously confidential documents. The documents included a language guide for the Hamas terrorists to use on October 7 when they invaded Israel. The terms found in the language guide render completely false the claim that Hamas did not deliberately plan to weaponize sexual violence. These terms include: “Take off your pants,” “Take off your clothes,” “Women here,” and “Raise your hands and spread your legs.”

The Hamas language guide had the terms written in Arabic and their Hebrew translation then transliterated back into Arabic characters (see below) so that the terrorists would know how to speak and pronounce commands to the abducted Israelis.     

Hamas put this language guide to use on October 7 when its terrorists committed atrocities—raping, torturing, kidnapping, and murdering close to 1,200 Israelis.

In addition, as can be seen in the layout below, Hamas trained on mockups of Israeli towns, in part based on info provided by Gazans who had received permission to work in Israel. The Hamas claim that it only attacked military targets is proven false yet again. 

Furthermore, a note found in the pocket of a Hamas terrorist who invaded Israel on October 7 demonstrates that the particularly brutal and barbaric nature of the massacre was pre-planned and not spontaneous. The note instructed: “This enemy of yours is a disease that has no cure other than cutting off heads and cutting out hearts and livers.

The full text of the Hamas commander’s hand written note:

“O descendants of Khalid [ibn Al-Walid] and Zubayr (i.e., 7th century Muslim military leaders), Allah designated you and established the Jihad market for you, so that you would present your merchandise as much as you are able. Therefore, improve the supply and sharpen your blades, and be loyal to Allah in your intentions, for your Prophet [Muhammad’s] desire was ‘Attack and be killed, again and again, for the sake of Allah.’ What you present before Almighty Allah He will buy from you, souls that yearn to meet their Creator and see their Prophet Muhammad and his companions Abu Amara, Sa’d [ibn Abi Waqqas], and Khalid [ibn Al-Walid].

And know that this enemy of yours is a disease that has no cure other than cutting off heads and cutting out hearts and livers.

Therefore, come to them in the hours towards evening, and do to them [like] the sword of [Khalid ibn Al-Walid] ‘Abu Suleiman,’ and impose upon them the sentence of Sa’d.

In the name of the God of Khaibar (place where Muhammad massacred Jews) we will start, and with the sword of Zulfiqar we will strike.”

As time passes and we hear more denial of the atrocities that Hamas committed on October 7, even from public figures worldwide, this material becomes critically important. The world must be shown the true character of Israel’s enemies, and the free world must give 100% backing and support for Israel’s goal of completely eradicating Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
