I had to see this thread by myself to believe it’s real. It is.
There are several important legal matters this thread raises:
1. Does CAIR has an authority to decide if embassy moving is legal or not per American law? If so, from which legal document this authority stems? 1/
2. According to your thread you believe mentioning “Islamism” aka “Islamic fundamentalism” - a political ideology that in some branched like Wahhabism or Qutbism calls for violence - is islamophobia. Is it your official position? Do you support Islamism officially? 2/
3. Smearing implies making up false claims. There is a video of @ZahraBilloo full speech. Does her video have anything to do with selfie of @JGreenblattADL? Do you think video proof is not sufficient?
4. “Israeli snipers were killing protesters & medics” - is a verifiable lie. 3/
On that day when embassy was opened, Hamas militants tried to storm the border. Out of 62 killed at least 50 were confirmed by Hamas as its members and 3 were confirmed by Islamic Jihad. Affiliation of others was not confirmed. Does it mean CAIR officially supports Hamas? 4/
5. What makes CAIR an authority to define where any law is unconstitutional? Do you know that Ben and Jerry eventually pulled out of Israel in its entirety and not just WB? Shall @ADL from now on get prior CAIR approval for whom to criticize? 5/
6. Do you always add disclaimers to any message of that kind when you “stand against smth”? Like:
“We support and stand against misogyny, but we also condemn those women who cynically use false claims of misogyny”?
How your “stand against antisemitism” is manifested then?6/
7. Last. Does speaking of “zionist sinagogues”, Jewish American orgs like Jewish Congress or Hillel orgs and identifying them as enemies one needs to fight, constitute “legitimate criticism of Israeli apartheid” and if so, can you explain how exactly it is related to Israel? 7/7

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/ Image
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/ Image
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/ Image
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/ Image
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

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 Image
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/ Image
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

Продолжение треда со вчерашнего дня
За 30 часов стала немного более понятна картина и она ужасна

На данный этап подтверждено, что погибло 350+ гражданских и 26 военных, а ещё 30 полицейских (все цифры будут ещё расти), еще идут бои в нескольких местах, где окопались хамасовцы 1/
Армия и полиция сообщают о потерях с большой задержкой всегда, такой у нас протокол, так как армия всегда извещает родных и близких после всех согласований, и публикует данные о погибших
По гражданским информацию дают госпитали, поэтому по ним цифры становятся известны быстрее 2/
Утром сегодня 4 террориста, которые прятались всю ночь в районе города Ашкелон, напали на перекрестке на гражданских лиц, убили 15 человек на месте и попытались скрыться, поехав на север по шоссе номер 4, их догнала полиция около шоссе восточнее города Ашдод и ликвидировала 3/
