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

🚨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

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)🧵 Image
Image
Image
2\ Bodies in the mass grave showed gunshot marks in the head & tied hands, some buried in patient gowns, including children. Image
Image
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 Image

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 Image
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)! Image
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

🚨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.
