🧵1/5 Let's talk about the phrase "Globalize the Intifada".

You might have heard it on college campuses recently, but it's not a call for justice.

It's a call for murdering Israelis and Jews.Image
2/5 Intifada refers to violent acts of "resistance" of Palestinians against Israelis including suicide bombings, shooting attacks and kidnappings resulting in thousands of civilian deaths and casualties.Image
3/5 These are some of the horrific images that come to mind when Israelis hear the word Intifada.

Left: A suicide bombing by a Palestinian on a bus near Haifa (2002) in which 8 Israelis were murdered and 22 injured.

Right: A suicide bombing by a Palestinian in a hotel during a Passover Seder in which 28 Israelis were murdered and 140 injured.Image

850,000.

That's the number of Jewish refugees from Arab countries & Iran who were forced to flee the countries they called home for hundreds (& even thousands of years).

They left behind homes, businesses, synagogues & belongings.

For over 2,500 years, Jews continuously lived in North Africa, the Middle East & Gulf region.

In the 1930s, Jews began to experience large waves of discrimination.

The situation for Jews became increasingly dangerous following the adoption of the UN Partition Plan in 1947.
Jews in Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Yemen & other countries were targeted in violent pogroms which continued in to the 50s & 60s.

(Thread) The devil works hard but Gaza's "film" industry works harder.

Meet Saleh Aljafarawi, Hamas presenter, father, patient, singer, journalist and crisis actor.

He's just one example of how Hamas is using social media to spread misinformation and shape false narratives related to Gaza.

On the left, you can see Saleh cheering on Hamas rockets fired at Israel.

On the right, you can see Saleh recently enjoying a delicious meal "fit for kings".
This “Hamas crisis actor” has become notorious for miraculously appearing in multiple Hamas propaganda videos in different roles and locations across the Gaza Strip.

Individuals across social media are calling Saleh “the man with more lives than a cat”. Image
Unfortunately, some journalists are still falling for Hamas crisis actors like Saleh.

Take for example the @BBC which recently aired footage from his account. Image

Breaking: The @IDF has released visual and audio materials which prove Hamas has stolen and is using humanitarian resources for its terrorist activities.

Let’s start with the Shifa Hospital, one of Gaza’s biggest medical centers, which is being used as a terror operations base by Hamas terrorists.

Listen to a phone call between two Gazans, confirming Hamas headquarters are located in the Shifa hospital.
This is an illustrative video which points out the different locations in and under Shifa hospital which are being used by Hamas terrorists to plan and implement terrorist activities.

You can also see the hospital’s generators which have been taken over by Hamas terrorists.
Hamas has also stolen fuel from the hospital which it is using to power its terror tunnels underground.

According to a senior Gazan energy official, Hamas currently has at least a million liters of gasoline, which it has stolen from civilian projects.
