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🧵
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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
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?
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!

The US & Israel are the ones who asked Qatar to host Hamas' political (NOT military) leadership to maintain indirect dialogue with them
When Qatar asked Hamas' leadership to leave in Nov 2024 & suspended their office in Doha, Trump asked them to reopen it again & re-host Hamas🧵
2\ Netanyahu just broke this arrangement & bombed Doha to target Hamas negotiators in the midst of their discussion of Trump's latest ceasefire proposal
In March 2025, Netanyahu killed Hamas entire negotiating team in Gaza (e.g. Salah Bardawil, Essam Da'alees, Ismael Barhoum, Abu Obaida al-Jimassi)
3\ Netanyahu killed Hamas' negotiating team inside Gaza in March 2025 while they were discussing Witkoff's proposal to extend the ceasefire
Similarly, Israel killed Hamas' top negotiator Ismael Haniya in July 2024 right after he accepted Biden's ceasefire/prisoner swap proposal
Last time Israel raided & took over Nasir hospital, they executed doctors, patients, children & elderly after chaining their hands & legs!
Mass graves were discovered when Israel left the area. The atrocity was so shocking, the US demanded answers (that Israel never gave)🧵
2\ Bodies in the mass grave showed gunshot marks in the head & tied hands, some buried in patient gowns, including children.
3\ Amongst the bodies discovered in the mass grave was that of a girl whose leg was amputated after being wounded in an Israeli airstrike. Her family says she was still alive at the hospital when Israel raided it
Israeli propagandists got their marching orders: blame Egypt for Israel's famine in Gaza. So here are the facts🧵
1- Egypt doesn't control its borders with Gaza, Israel does b/c it occupies Rafah (as Ravid points out)
Israel is NOT allowing ANY food to come from Egypt into Gaza
2- Israel fully depopulated all of Rafah & most of Khan Younis.
If Egypt sends any trucks into Gaza, there are NO Palestinians on the other side to receive it, there's only IDF troops in those dark purple coloured areas (& Israel's proxy Abu Shabab gang that loots aid)!
3- From the start of the genocide, Israel explicitly told Egypt it would bomb any aid convoys that cross from the Rafah crossing into Gaza
Israel then bombed the Rafah crossing multiple times to emphasize that threat & shut the crossing down aa.com.tr/en/middle-east…
🚨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.
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!
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.
