1n Ok! Thread to show you the extent to of Nawal’s (we’ll call her Pinocchio’s imaginary twin Pinocchietta) porky pies. I’m ignoring Pinocchietta’s “chauffeur driven/misogynist/empathy” nonsense cuz she virtues signalling for support & to hide her lies. But here goes
2n Evidently Nawal doesn’t speak, read or write English, but what does “not talk directly to” have to do with what the lady said? The conversation was recorded and played to people for confirmation.
3n now it gets more interesting. Pinocchietta claims it happened on the 12th not 13th. Note I DID NOT CLAIM it THE LOCALS CLAIMED it. it seems in her rabid fury, she can’t even read what’s written properly “THEY CLAIMED” Good she unwittingly confirmed the Ancharese lied
4n now you actually see what extreme lengths of outright lying she’ll go to. THERE IS NO WAY POLICE CAN FIRE INTO JENAB SAHIB GROUNDS FROM OUTSIDE THE LOCALITY. Pellet guns need LINE OF SIGHT they simply can’t bend around corners. As you can see, there are no straight lanes
5n more operational details - 50 meters its the ABSOLUTE outward limit that they can go to. Damage is from 0-30 meters and they disperse at 15-20 meters after which there is a dramatic drop in kinetic energy. (She can’t even google)
6n so she wants you to believe
1) pellets can round corners
2) they travel over 50 meters
3) they can fire these from 2 kms away... heck even sniper rifles struggle to pull off this feat. Moreover for an alleged “local” she doesn’t even know the police station is 1 km waking
7n also the problem of pathological lying is you don’t bother looking up superficial (Evidently she can’t even google). As for the first picture, no date or location stamp/indicator and given her established reputation for lying. At any rate the wound IS SUPERFICIAL
8n Now The man picked up as a random test was someone from the crowd WHO CLAIMED THERE WERE SHORTAGES. The editor @RamaNewDelhi will confirm that this was very clear in the original draft. This wasn’t some pre selected chap.
9n As for “what ailment he had” I’m not a doctor unlike Jihadi Jane who fancies herself a ballistics & geography expert caught out lying on both. At any rate SHE ends up confirming that HOSPITALS (as opposed to PHARMACIES) aren’t suffering from shortages.
10n next - note EVERY SINGLE HOSPITAL (including the doctor who had no love lost for india) confirmed that they had stocked up ALL ESSENTIAL & CRITICAL drugs. I did not “miss” it. Her “proof” is “I say so” Given her lies on geography & pellet trajectory.....
11n note there were no blockades - checkpoints yes - though she concocts their existence, and people were going in and out past these checkpoints freely. Curious isn’t it how she can’t videograph being stopped and asked? Or the panic when “pellets came out of nowhere”?
12n so to conclude. The Pinocchietta is lying through her teeth
She herself confirms
1 the ancharese lied about dates
2 there are no shortages in HOSPITALS
3 her stories both on pelletting & the distance of the police station are DEMONSTRABLY FALSE

🧵 Thank you @IsraelinIndia & Amb @NaorGilon for a spectacular dinner with chef Shaul Ben Aderet. Lemme talk you through what I ate. BTW did you know if you’re vegetarian you’ll be totally comfortable in israel? We started with a masterclass on a proper shakshouka. The table was lined with wayyyy too many starters (typical Israeli style stay fit trick - by the time the main arrives, you’ve gotten full on veg)Image
Image
Israeli salad. Beetroot & Pomegranate salad. An insanely delicious baba ghanoush with tarragon oil, and my favourite - Sabich filling (there’s nothing quite like sabich - fried eggplant, boiled potatoes, tahini, mixed with pickled lemons and an Indian-Iraqi Jewish sauce called AMBA made of mangoes)Image

Israeli cous cous (which is technically a pasta, with slivered almonds, the ubiquitous hummus, walnuts with crunchy spinach & a matbucha (roasted tomato salad) on side, served with is awesome salty sweet challah (I forgot how much I love challah)

🧵 This morning was spent at Kibbutz Be’eri. One of the first to be hit on 7/10. The scale of destruction is unimaginable. Most of the stuff we weren’t allowed to film as families haven’t given permission. This was the house of Vivian Silver. She was a peace activist who used to

Take Gazan children for medical treatment and ran contact and employment programmes. They knew exactly who lived here. That didn’t stop them. They poured kerosene on her and burnt her. We don’t know if she was alive or dead when this happened. You can see her kitchen was
Violently looted and destroyed. Initially thought kidnapped, we know know she was killed - her only remains? A single tooth. The next house hit really hard. They leave behind a cat that looks just like my Aprameya & Alamelu. They separated the kids and women in the safe room

DELHI MEDIA GOSSIP:🧵full blown rebellion brewing in AAP. After throwing Sisodia to the wolves, Kejriwal today threw Saurabh & Atishi as well. Party leaders telling me “what kind of a leader does this”. Lawyers tellme Keju’s legal strategy is sound. Since he has never signed Image
a single document this will come down to hearsay. Vijay Nair has already said Keju took all the decisions. Soon Atishi & Saurabh will be implicated by Keju and they will also say Keju took all the decisions. But Keju will say “show me proof - all three colluded & they’re trying
to frame me”. Essentially Kejriwal’s conviction if it happens, will be based on circumstantial evidence. But my AAP sources think from a different angle: this is a ploy to keep Sunita Bhabhi as Rabri Devi part 2 & eliminate all alternate sources of power. In this Keju is right.

🧵 on the interview: 11 minutes in I’m wondering where Putin is going with the history. All accurate history, but what’s being said about Polonisation is equally applicable to the 2/3rds of Russia to the east. Undermining his own point.
.15 mins he acknowledges the Molotov Ribbentrop pact. And the movement west of Poland to what was eastern germany. underplaying Russia’s role. 17 mins the transfer of Russian lands to Ukraine SSR including lands with no connection to it - esp Black Sea. Tucker keeps pushing back.
19 mins - inexplicable ukrainisation including Hungarian, Romanian and polish lands by Stalin-Khrushchev. He says Ukraine is an artifical state (hmm what’s any country? Is there a time limit on authentic state and artificial state). Tucker asks at 21 if Putin told Orban he could

This is a 🧵 of appreciation for @harshmadhusudan @alok_bhatt & @kaushkrahul who have been whacking casteist butt for the past few days. These casteists incidentally are the same ones who collaborated with invaders for a thousand years to preserve their privileges. This is
Also why temples cannot be given back as long as these self-perpetuating casteist parasites abrogate the right to run temples or determine rules in temples they don’t run. Remember these parasites collaborated with those who demolished our Mandirs - for jaziya exemption & gifts.
It was Hindutva which got us the mandir back…. And hindutva’s entire premise is an end to caste - the same caste that weakened us as a nation but enriched these parasites at the cost of our independence. Let’s be clear - none of these casteist scumbags got us back our mandir.

🧵 Narendra Modi went to Lakshadweep to highlight the massive under-utilised tourist potential. Having snorkelled & dived in Lakshadweep & Maldives, I can honestly tell you Lakshadweep lacks nothing. So why are the opposition making fun of this visit? You see in the 1980s Rajiv Image
Gandhi & family visited Lakshadweep & it suddenly became the go to destination. However except one island - Bangaram admirably & sustainably managed by CGH - no other licenses were granted & the entire area was kept backward and poor with limited connectivity. Today the PM Image
Essentially heralded what should become an economic opening up of an extraordinary region of India that has deliberately been kept poor. What’s worse for the opposition is that Lakshadweep is 97% Muslim. Their entire narrative of Muslims discrimination & alienation has already
