Dear @CNN: In your story by @alaaelassar about the Almadhoun family in Gaza, there are a couple of quotes from Hani Almadahoun that are accepted as fact. Please correct or clarify.
cnn.com/2021/02/17/us/…

1/
@CNN @alaaelassar "Being in Gaza is hard. At times it was hell. You get maybe six or eight hours of electricity a day..."

According to the UN, during the time the family was in Gaza, there was an average of 14 hours of electricity a day. ochaopt.org/page/gaza-stri…

2/
@CNN @alaaelassar "On many nights..., Almadhoun said he could hear the sounds of drones flying overhead and what sounded like missiles striking targets not far from their home in Gaza City."

I count only four nights of airstrikes during that time...: 3/
@CNN @alaaelassar Again, according to the UN, there were airstrikes on 11/15, 11/21, 12/26 and 1/18, in the 3 1/2 months the family was there. This isn't "many" nights, and every single one was a response to Hamas rockets towards Israel. 4/
@CNN @alaaelassar Please correct the story to show where Mr. Almadhoun was mistaken.

The lies of @btselem are so egregious.

Jews cannot travel to Area A. Or Area B. Or Gaza. And severe limitations on the Temple Mount. So by B'Tselem's definition, JEWS are the ones under apartheid.
@btselem If nations giving preference to their own national group over others is apartheid, then most European countries are apartheid. Every Arab country is apartheid. B'Tselem of course ignores WHY Israel has a Law of Return. I guess Nazi Germany isn't worth remembering anymore.
@btselem If even B'Tselem admits that Israeli Jews and Arabs have the same freedom of movement - in fact, Israeli Arabs have MORE - then where is the apartheid and "Jewish supremacy"?

Answer: Even @btselem knows this is a sham. And the accusation is nothing short of antisemitic.

Meanwhile, here's the socialist Left attacking the mainstream Democrats who support Israel @DemMaj4Israel. It's interesting to watch, and it exposes the false themes and anti-fact methods of the Israel haters. 1/
@DemMaj4Israel Notice how they cannot argue with DMFI's facts. As always, the facts don't favor the Israel haters, so instead they say that DMFI used information from @RegavimIsrael which they tar as "far right" and "anti-Palestinian" as if their facts therefore don't matter. 2/
@DemMaj4Israel @RegavimIsrael I have spoken to Regavim and they do care about the Palestinians and Arab residents of Israel. But they also care about Jewish and Israeli rights. They properly try to balance both sets of rights within the framework of the law. That is not extremist. That is noble. 3/

The idiocy of the Left in a single tweet (a thread)
Background: Obama said, "“You lost a big audience the minute you say it ["Defund the Police"], which makes it a lot less likely that you’re actually going to get the changes you want done.”

For once, he is 100% right.
2/
I read some of the white papers from the Left on what they call "defunding the police."

I agreed with about 90% of what they said. Nearly all of it was for thoughtful police reform.

And I've spoken to law enforcement professionals who agree.

Antisemitism from "human rights" NGOs:

elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2020/10/are-am…

@HRW once implied that half of Israeli soldiers are religious fanatic who would kill Arabs against IDF orders

@amnestyusa sponsored a US tour of someone who claims Jews steal Palestinian organs

1/
@hrw @amnestyusa HRW's @KenRoth tweeted that European antisemitism is a response to Israeli actions, justifying it.

@Amnesty UK has sponsored BDS groups to rent its HQ in London - but denied Jewish Zionist groups.

@Amnesty'smembers voted AGAINST a resolution condemning antisemitism.

2/
@hrw @amnestyusa @KenRoth @amnesty An @amnesty deputy director still has photos glorifying terrorists on his Facebook page.

Last year @Oxfam sold antisemitic literature on its website, including the Protocols.

When Miftah published its blood libel, Oxfam excused it as a simple mistake .

UAE businessman Khalaf Al Habtoor offers some reality bombs to Palestinians: (thread)
haaretz.com/middle-east-ne…
"I have been a supporter of the Palestinians all my life, both morally and materially, but over the decades, circumstances have changed. I’m a realist. I cannot remain stuck in some fantasy land, and neither do I wait indefinitely for miracles."
" To imagine that boycotting Israeli goods will force the collapse of the Jewish state is infantile and hypocritical. Many of the components in your computers are Israeli-made and Israeli microchips can be found in over 100 million devices worldwide."

Hey Palestinians:

You keep whining about how the #AbrahamAccords ignore you.

That's wrong.

It treats you exactly how you deserve - as an entity that has, through your own actions and rejectionism, made your cause irrelevant.

1/
You could have been the ones on the White House lawn signing a genuine warm peace with Israel, multiple times, since 2000.

2/
Instead, you chose to adhere to your "principles" of destroying the Jewish state - through terror, through alliances with the worst human rights abusing states, through demographics of "return."
