Allow me to introduce you to a newly created stillborn child of Mahmoud Abbas - the new Palestinian constitution. Its preliminary draft was published on February 10, 2026 and it has multiple issues that will make it, well, essentially, useless and lacking any authority

Thread 🧵

https://twitter.com/palestine_un/status/2021275836184252638

I have read it through, so you don’t have to

The preamble

Right in the first line the text states that it is based on the pure pan-Arab ideology. This constitution (I would argue, correctly) identifies ethnicity as Arab and nationality - as Palestinian. So, technically, everyone living in this region is Palestinian, whether Jewish, Arab, Druze, Circassian, like everyone living in Britain are British (whether they are ethnically English, Indian, Polish, Pakistani, Scottish and etc.). However for the last couple of decades the Palestinian Authority, anti-Israeli activists and “journalists” from the media like Al Jazeera tried to equate Palestinian not to a national identity, but to an ethnic identity, while this constitution returns back to the original notion of Palestinians being just Arabs who live in the historic Palestine

Secondly, they put in the constitution the notion of “ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank” while also tying it to the “right of return” - that every Palestinian in every generation is entitled to return to what was once historic Palestine (that usually means they are including Israel and current Palestinian Authority territories, but somehow excluding Jordan territories)

Thirdly, the preamble states it is the “cradle of heavenly religions” (while not naming yet the religions, but it will, later in the constitution), and also separately referring to the Messenger of God (here the authors imply Muhammad, of course) and it being a cradle of civilization

The cherry on top - it puts the capital in Jerusalem, a territory currently controlled by another state for almost 60 years, and which territory was never intended to be under control of either Arabs or Jews back when UN partition plan was established. I remind you this is the constitution of a future state whose establishing organizations along with neighboring Arab states waged several wars against another state (Israel) and lost all of them, yet they put out this as if they have triumphed in the war they have started and not ended up with this vague and unlikely to be ever implemented claim to Jerusalem. It would be like Japan after WWII claiming Korea is still the territory of Japan, or Koenigsberg is still the territory of German Prussia, for example

Let’s move on to some other articles

Article 1 - again pan-Arab ideology - Palestinians are Arab and part of Arab people (this is ideology of Nasserism 101) - all Arabs are the same and doesn’t matter where they live, in Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Palestine or Egypt - they are not different from one another and should be all unified eventually in one state

Article 3 - back to the capital part. Again, reiterated that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the state and all religions and their sanctities are protected there… but this time the authors list those religions - Islam and Christianity. Yep, only those two religions apparently have sanctities in Jerusalem, meaning all the rest can be razed to the ground as they do not have protected “historical, political, cultural or spiritual” status. Good luck with trying to negotiate anything even with left wing peaceniks if they ever take control of the government, when the explicitly claim anything that is related to Jews is neither protected nor even mentioned

Article 4 - Islam is the governing religion and the state will be essentially religious as Sharia law will be the law of the land. Christianity is acknowledged, but that’s about it - the followers of it will be “respected” (whatever it means). That thing called Judaism is non-existent again

Война в Газе между Израилем и Хамасом

Тред о «пропорциональности» в международном праве на основе 8 статей Женевской Конвенции (ЖК), где её создатели предусмотрели использование гражданских объектов в войне, как это делал ХАМАС, который усовершенствовал стратегию живого щита

1/

ЖК (IV.28) специально отмечает, что присутствие гражданских лиц не делает объекты неуязвимыми для военных действий. Хамас не приобретёт иммунитет, прячась среди гражданских лиц. ЖК принимает концепцию сопутствующего ущерба, если враг сознательно прячется среди гражданских лиц

2/

Женевский протокол I.51.7 расширяет это положение еще больше и прямо дает понять, что Израилю разрешено действовать против Хамас, несмотря на большое присутствие гражданских лиц. То есть ЖК допускает гибель гражданских лиц, если они использовались в качестве «живых щитов»

Justice for terrorism victims

No matter how long, but the @IDF always settles the score

Exactly 3 years ago on this day (August 21, 2021) during the “peaceful March of Return” an unknown Hamas terrorist shot at point blank at an IDF border guard, who later died

A thread 🧵
1/

A Border Police officer who was shot and critically wounded during a riot on the Gaza Strip border was 21-year-old Barel Hadaria Shmueli from Be’er Yaakov in central Israel
He was shot in the head at point-blank range during Hamas instigated major clashes along the Gaza border
2/

After 9 days in coma in the intensive care unit, Barel sadly succumbed to his wounds as reported by @JudahAriGross and @TOIAlerts

After October 7 we now understand that multiple Marches of Return that happened in 2021 were merely a preparation and training for a major attack

How an egregious lie is born and then spread like a wildfire on @X in 4 steps and with screenshots of all accounts who jumped on this lie to deliberately spread it and make viral. I am talking about “Lancet has published an article proving there are more than 186,000 death in Gaza as a conservative esitmate”. Anyone who spreads a lie like that is a dishonest person who you should never trust on Israel/Palestine ever

Step 1: take something that used to be a respected journal, like @TheLancet
Step 2: find 3 partisan people (like this letter chief signatory Rasha Khatib who already hates Israel and glorifies murder of Israelis) who will send a letter in a correspondence section

Step 3: pretend it’s an article with peer review (it is not) and not a letter from readers
Step 4: use dishonest agents from ultra left and ultra right accounts (including several UK MPs) who do not care about the truth who pretend it is an article and use it as a reliable source to prove their point

That’s it. All the liars in the next tweets will be added to this thread

Send me those whom I missed to add to the listthelancet.com/journals/lance…

First of all, here is the upper part of the Lancet Article that clearly indicated it is a letter from the correspondence section, not a peer-reviewed article, a part that can easily be missed (I missed it when I first opened it and that is what those who spread it want to achieve) and a pure speculations on numbers of casualties (just take what Gaza Ministry of Health reported to the UN and multiple by 4) – screenshots 1&2

Second, here are 2 signatories of this letter who already have anti-Israel bias and should not be considered as a fair and reliable source – screenshots 3&4

h/t @HillelNeuer and @MarkZlochin

Now to accounts who deliberately spread this lie:

This a new elected representative in Britain ladies and gentlemen…

And that is the video he posted on the morning of October 7… Britain, what are you doing?

cc: @HeidiBachram

Here is the screenshot showing the date of posting

This is his next video on October 8 in the morning before any retaliation even happened when Israeli forces were securing the Israel proper territory…

Many Twitter (X) users noticed accounts that popped up recently having 🔻 emoji used either in Twitter names or in the comment section

This is Hamas’ insignia and whoever uses it wants you to know they are specifically pro-Hamas supporters

Let’s talk about it

A thread 🧵👇🏼 1/

Initially the emoji was used by Hamas early in the ground offensive (early November) to show propaganda videos of Hamas members shooting RPG at Israeli tanks & soldiers

Usually the videos zoomed in & provided a clearer image of a target, signified by pointing this 🔻 3 times 2/

Immediately after it was used by Hamas and its Al Qassam Brigades in their propaganda posters, it was then picked up by various western pro-Hamas accounts on many social networks who weaved this 🔻 in their posts, like you see it below
