(NewsNation) — “Screams Before Silence,” a new documentary, aims to expose Hamas’ use of rape and sexual violence.

Former Meta executive Sheryl Sandberg wanted to create a film that showcased the mass sexual violence against women perpetrated by Hamas in Israel on Oct. 7.

“This issue is not about what’s going on in Gaza,” Sandberg said Thursday night while discussing the documentary on NewsNation’s “CUOMO.” “Whatever you think should happen … You can’t believe that sexual violence, which has been documented, didn’t happen. And you really can’t believe that rape is resistance.”

Sandberg said that political polarization is causing people to have “trouble holding two thoughts at the same time.”

“You can believe that what’s happening in Gaza is a tragedy. I believe that deeply. But you have to believe that what happened on October 7 was mass systematic, planned rape and genital mutilation of women and men that has been documented,” Sandberg said.

In the documentary, Sandberg captures firsthand accounts of multiple eyewitnesses, released hostages, first responders, medical and forensic experts and survivors of the Hamas massacres regarding the reality of Oct. 7.

She’s suggests that anyone who resists what she’s saying should “just watch.”‘

On an “about” section for the movie’s website, it states that, “Despite the indisputable evidence, these atrocities have received little scrutiny from human rights groups and international organizations. Many leading figures in politics, academia, and media have attempted to minimize or even deny that they occurred.”

Sandberg wants to know: “Where’s the outrage and protests?”
