When the story of the Israeli genocide of Palestinians is told, it will tell the story of how it cut electricity, food and water from the “human animals” and how Israelis mocked the starving thirsty children with videos of running water taps and lit lightbulbs 🧵

It will tell the story of how Israel used unreliable technology and massive collateral damage - bombs “focused on destruction, not accuracy” - to bomb sleeping children next to their sleeping parents, accused by some algorithm of being Hamas

It will tell how families were forced to flee their refuges once, twice, three even four times, fleeing due to evacuation orders that made no arrangements for them and pushed them into areas that were then bombed by the IDF in a perverse theatricality of insincere “humanity”

It will show how doctors, ambulances, humanitarians, journalists, civil defence, were killed, sometimes executed, kidnapped or disappeared with impunity. It will talk of Hind Rajab. It will tell all the stories.

It will show the stories of soldiers justifying the murder of children, claiming today’s enemies are the children they did not kill a decade prior. It will show them looting and mockingly wearing the underwear of the women they killed or displaced

It will show how vast areas of Gaza, universities, hospitals, mosques, houses - the lifelines of civilian life - were systematically destroyed in controlled explosions to create a “buffer zone” and push people inward, closer and closer together, so they could be controlled

It will show the videos of Palestinians fleeing through invisible death zones where anyone is marked as a target. Palestinians with white flags, elderly women, even Israeli hostages, all killed because they crossed an invisible line in the sand

It will tell how once enough people where crammed in a tiny portion of the Strip, and against the express order of the ICJ, Israel launched a brutal assault in these overcrowded streets, inevitably leading to mass casualties

It will tell how people where then told to return north, and how Palestinians marched proudly back to their destroyed homes, seeking to rebuild, only to then be trapped there by yet another blockade of food and water

It will then tell the story of how Israel sabotage aid delivery and replaced it with a system of mass displacement and extermination masked as aid delivery. How Palestinians were told if they wanted food they’d need to walk the death zones once more and go south or starve

It will tell how starving Palestinians were not given baby formula or blankets. How they were given uncooked food and no means to cook it. And how the efforts to break the blockade to deliver this formula were met with force and mockery

It will tell the story of how Israel concentrated a starving population among 4 distribution sites and then when starving people rushed the sites, they were shot for acting “aggressively”

It will tell the story of how Israel propped up gangs to repress this starving population and then used their actions as justification for opening fire. It will show how the people who got food were then displaced again, forced into ever-shrinking concentration areas

It will tell all these stories and many more that are still yet to pass. It will talk of the apartheid and occupation. It will tell the story of how it got to this. And those who enabled or supported it will never be forgiven

The story *will* be told. The depravity is simply too great. It will be told in the blood and the charred skin and muscles of dead Palestinians. It will be told in the unforgiving fury of those who survive this. The story *will* be told. And no lie will ever be good enough

And once the story is told, then you will have to run. Because you will be hunted. Because the crime is too great and accountability will chase you.

The story will be told and you will not be forgiven.
