EVERYTHING #Israel accuses Palestinians of doing (often falsely), it had openly done way worse to establish & maintain the Israeli state:

e.g. blowing up cafes & buses; human shields; celebrating civilians' death; glorifying terrorists; hiding weapons in civilian areas...Quick🧵 Image
2\ Terrorism was a tactic Zionist militias openly used to establish #Israel

Blowing up cafes, buses & crowded markets was 1 of their favorite strategies. This list only shows Irgun terrorist bombings in 1937-39👇

Irgun became part of the IDF & their leader Shamir became PM! ImageImage
3\ Even 3 decades after #Israel was founded, the Israeli Defense Ministry continued to use terrorism for combat

Defense Minister Ariel Sharon (later Prime Minister) used to blow up cars, bikes & booby-trapped donkeys in crowded civilian areas in Lebanon ONLY to sow chaos & fear! ImageImage
4\ Human Shields:

#Israelis forces systematically use Palestinian civilians, including children, as human shields. They call it the "neighbor protocol" or "bringing a friend".

Meanwhile, Amnesty NEVER found any evidence of Palestinian militants taking human shields at gunpoint! ImageImage
5\ Celebrating civilians' death:
#Israel's Security Minister was at this party where settlers literally celebrated the burning of a Palestinian baby (18-months) by a fellow settler

Israelis were handing out wine 2 days ago to celebrate the bombing of Gaza
6\ Recruiting child soldiers:
#Israel's Security Minister brags that his mother was a member of the militant terrorist organization "Irgun" when she was ONLY 14!

Irgun was considered a terrorist org by the US, UN, UK...

Hamas' official recruitment age is 18. ImageImage
7\ Executing collaborators:
All Israeli militias that formed the IDF regularly executed collaborators with the British, or leaders who were too moderate & wanted reconciliation with the Palestinians;

E.g. Jacob Israël de Haan was executed by the Haganah for turning anti-Zionist! ImageImage
8\ Glorifying terrorists:
#Israel's gov named 10s of streets after Irgun & Lehi terrorists who killed innocent people (see thread👇)

E.g. Olei Hagardom statu in Ramat Gan commemorates 12 Irgun & Lehi militants convicted by the British of terrorist attacks
ImageImage
9\ Hiding weapons in civilian areas:

All the Zionist militias that formed #Israel's IDF used to hide weapons in cities, towns, farms, homes... There are more than 1,500 known hiding places for their weapons & Israelis continue to discover them until today.

Human shields? ImageImage
10\ Some #Israeli leaders used to openly advocate for literal terrorism:

Israel's Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir:
"Neither Jewish ethics nor Jewish tradition can disqualify terrorism as a means of combat"

He was wanted for the British for terror attacks! ImageImage

🚨Debunking Israel's talking points about over 83% of causalities in Gaza being civilians🧵

Claim 1: "The 8,900 figure only includes Hamas militants targeted in intelligence-led precision strikes, not those killed in combat"

False! IDF standard procedure is to photograph bodies of Gazans killed in the field, e.g. in designated "extermination zones" or in combat, & collecting details such as ID cards or phones from the bodies.

Soldiers then send those pictures & confiscated belongings to the Israeli intelligence "to verify militant status." Less than 5% of those causalities are identified as Hamas after intel analysis.Image
Claim 2: "Hamas admitted in Feb 2024 losing 6,000 fighters, so 8900 by May 2025 is an undercount"

Hamas never made that statement! They immediately & officially denied its veracity & called out the outlet that attributed it to an unnamed anonymous Hamas source! Image
Claim 3: "8,900 killed militants is an underestimate"

No! It's an overestimate; this is the same database that listed Anas Al-Sharif, Ismael al-Ghoul, Hassan Islaih & others are "Hamas militants"

Israel's database also includes people who have long ceased to have any combatant role (e.g. veteran wounded in previous wars, people who quit Hamas or the Qassam, people who deserted their positions & fled... none of those would be regarded as militants under the laws of war).

Additionally, Israel's database designates someone as a militant in Gaza based on intel, probability, social media, intercepted calls, whatsapp groups, old & new Hamas documents... It's not a conclusive database of who is a militant, but an estimation of who Israel considers to be "highly likely" a militant.

🚨This message is completely FAKE!

Just went through all of Anas al-Sharif's messages on Oct 7, 2023, no such messages exists.

Telegram doesn't even put the date on messages.

Israel is so desperate to justify murdering Gaza's top journalist, but all they have are doctored docs, fake screenshots & a picture he took *as a journalist* with Gaza's rulers.Image
Even if Anas wrote this fake message, even if he took selfies with every single Hamas leader on the face of earth, even if he was once a militant in 2017...

NONE of this would justify murdering him! Israel didn't provide any evidence Anas was actively taking part in hostilities or combat!
This was Anas’s message history on that day. Notice there’s nothing at 15:49, there’s no date on the message Image

Folks are asking what does Netanyahu’s occupation plan mean, since Israel already occupies Gaza?

It means implementing the notorious “Generals Plan” to Gaza city, Deir al-Bala & Nusairat; the only last 3 areas Israel hasn’t fully wiped out & where most Gazans are sheltering🧵 Image
2\ The “Generals Plan” is ethnic cleansing (per Israel itself) done in 5 steps:
Fully encircle & besiege a city
Cut food & water & take hospitals & other vital services out
Bomb incessantly by air, land & sea
Invade gradually & force people out at gunpoint
Flatten everything Image
3\ Israel tested the "Generals Plan" in Northern Gaza in late 2024

There were around 150,000 Gazans there at the start

IDF surrounded them, cut off all food & water for over 100 days, gradually advanced from all directions, forced people out until only about 12,000 were left. Image

The ultimate gift to Hamas is NOT a few countries' symbolic recognition of Palestine

The ultimate gift to Hamas is Netanyahu & Trump humiliating, weakening, sanctioning & bankrupting the Palestinian Authority no matter how far Abbas goes to appease Israel & the US🧵
2\ Hamas' key argument for armed resistance is that nonviolence, advocacy, civil disobedience, international courts, diplomacy, peace processes are all futile & if you try them you'd only get smacked & demonized by Israel & the US without achieving any tangible results
3\ Hamas' main case study to legitimize their path is to point out how Mahmoud Abbas recognized Israel, renounced violence, suppressed intifadas, & actively collaborates with the US & Israel against fellow Palestinians

Then they'd ask "what did Abbas get out of this? Nothing"

We warned about this 8 months ago; Israel's 5 finger policy of dissecting Gaza into smaller concentration camps using "security corridors" (i.e. extermination zones):

Everything on both sides of each corridor is then gradually wiped out

Latest corridor👇 ecfr.eu/publication/de…Image
Image
2\ You can already see how Israel systematically demolished every single building on both sides of its latest "corridor" in Khan Younis

Those "corridors" are deadlier than the Berlin Wall; anyone trying to cross from one side to another is instantly executed
3\ Each time Israel creates a "security corridor" (i.e. extermination zone), they gradually expand its width until it becomes a giant strip of wasteland

Netzarim started as a narrow route, quickly expanded to 4 miles (6.5 km) in width
Every single building in there was wiped out Image

10 soldiers took turns to rape their victim on camera until they exploded his intestines & raptured his rectum. Gov leaders, MPs, religious leaders… all praised the rapists. National TVs hosted the rapists. The public overwhelmingly supported the rapists.

They now pretend this never happened; the very folks who never said a single word about this want to shame you into supporting a genocide by screaming “Oct 7 sexual violence” every single day!
A year later, the rapists are still at large:
