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

What's next for Gaza? 🧵
After the hostage release, Israel will hold onto a fully depopulated 58% of Gaza.

After an international force enters, Israel will hold onto 40% of Gaza where the IDF's proxy gangs will thrive!

Genocide or reconstruction? The devil is in the details! Image
2\ Right now, the 58% beyond the yellow line is not only under IDF control, it's fully depopulated. Any Gaza civilian that tries to enter is shot on sight. Israel killed 35 Gazans in the first 24 hours of the ceasefire.

Israel is planning to hold onto those areas for a long time Image
3\ Israel's proxy gangs (e.g. Abu Shabab, Husam al-Astal, Ashraf Mansi) are all currently hiding in the 58% of Gaza the IDF is stationed in

Israel cultivated those gangs to create "gated communities" (concentration camps) to push Gazans into.

Now with the ceasefire, Israel is using those gangs to launch attacks on Hamas deep inside Gaza without the IDF having to invade.

This is Israel's way of saying "we're not violating the ceasefire, it's Palestinians killing Palestinians."

Israel will also try to get Gazans to move into those areas with promises of a better life while the other half of Gaza remains reduced to rubble.

This plan is significantly better than previous Trump proposals (e.g. no ethnic cleansing, abolishing GHF, no occupation or annexation, decommissioning not disarmament...)

Yet it's filled with negatives, explosive mines & loopholes that'd allow Netanyahu to occupy Gaza forever🧵
2\ Positives:
The infamous GHF would be abolished since the plan says aid will only be distributed by groups "not associated in any manner with either party" (GHF is an IDF front).

Full suspension of "all military operations" (e.g. bombing) & immediate end to the war
3\ Trump's plan now talks about decommissioning instead of disarmament. There's a major difference; the latter connotes surrender, whereas decommissioning is gradual, tied to a political process & includes reintegration of militants into security sector

🚨🚨Israel created a new proxy gang run by a fugitive murderer, drug dealer, fraudster & longtime collaborator Husam Abdel-Majid Al-Astal

This gang is currently based in Khan Younis as an extension of Israel's ISIS-linked Abu Shabab gang in Rafah🧵 Image
Image
2\ Al-Astal is an disgraced former member of the Palestinian Authority's security forces

He's responsible for the murder of Fadi Al-Batsh in Malaysia in 2018 on behalf of Israel

He fled to Egypt after & was apprehended there & deported to Gaza in 2022 on fraud & drug-related offences
3\ Al-Astal was detained in Gaza upon his deportation from Egypt in 2022

Interrogations revealed he's been collaborating with Israel since 1996 & carried out a number of operations on their orders

His neighbours corroborated his arrest in Egypt for drugs

🚨Meet Israel's most dystopian weapon used to terrorize Gazans into fleeing south:

APC vehicles repurposed into robotic giant bombs

Israel's army has been swarming Gaza city with those APCs to indiscriminately barrel bomb overcrowded neighbourhoods & create chaos🧵 Image
Image
2\ Since the start of the genocide, Israel has been extensively using those giant robotic bombs intensively all throughout Gaza

They are remote-controlled M113 armored personnel carriers packed with explosives or barrel bombs, sent into an area & detonated from afar Image
3\ Israel has recently tripled its use of robotic explosive APCs against Gaza's civilian population.

Two weeks ago, Israeli soldiers reported hundreds of robotic APCs were moved towards Gaza city

Israel is now using them to blow up homes or busy areas to create panic Image

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

Israel's single most indispensable weapon of genocide (100% funded by the American public)🧵

Texas-made D9 Caterpillar bulldozers

Most of Israel's destruction of Gaza is not done by airstrikes or artillery, but rather by those D9s1

That's why Norway divested from Caterpillar Image
Image
2\ Israelis call D9 bulldozers "the flattener of Gaza"

A single D9 can destroy a whole house in an hour; with greater efficacy & cheaper costs than bombs or airstrikes

Without those D9s, Israel's destruction of Gaza would become slower & more difficult
972mag.com/israel-gaza-to…Image
3\ The flattening of Gaza by Caterpillar D9 bulldozers is carried out by Israeli settlers (especially the terrorist hilltop youth)

The IDF uses multiple contractors, like Uriah Loberbom, Mshek Afar, Libi Construction & Infrastructure

They get paid over $1,500 per destroyed home Image
