Last night, #Israeli settlers burned & destroyed 140 vehicles; wounded 34 civilians & kids; damaged dozens of homes & shops across 10 Palestinian villages...

Then they all walked home free...

ZERO arrests reported, ZERO condemnations by Israel's gov or opposition leaders!
2\ Israeli settlers descended on Huwara, burned down vehicles & farms & threw rocks at homes & shops.

An ambulance caught fire after being reportedly hit by Israeli soldiers in the area.

On Nakba day, time to debunk Israel's foundational myths with their own words🧵

Myth No 1: "Israel accepted partition, Palestinians rejected"

Israel NEVER accepted partition; they only exploited it as a tactical step towards ethnic cleansing

Ben Gurion is crystal clear on this Image
Image
2\ Partition would've meant Israel would have a 40% Arab minority in their half of the land

Ben Gurion made clear this was unacceptable to the Zionists. They wanted an "absolute majority" for Jewish Israelis, which could only be established through atrocities & mass expulsion Image
Image
3\ Myth 2: "The Arabs started this. They declared war on Israel"

Six MONTHS before the Nakba of May 1948, Zionists had launched an unprovoked campaign mass terror attacks, massacres & forcible expulsion

Israel's own leaders admitted Palestinians were trying to maintain calm Image

Israel is using this 2020 picture to legitimize murdering a top Gazan journalist on his hospital bed (double war crime)🧵

Here's the picture's background: Hassan was covering a public event Sinwar held with Gaza youth to discuss national reconciliation

Sinwar approached Hassan, told him he was an excellent journalist & asked him to take a picture of them together.

Sinwar had been away from the public sphere for a long time before that conference, so he wanted this picture to be a message to Israel that he's back.

He chose Hassan because he was a household name in Gaza with a large following; he was the go to person for any updates on Gaza.

Hassan himself was NOT part of Hamas or any other militant group. He NEVER took part in any hostilities that would justify killing him.

Israel murdered him because he was a gatekeeper to a huge amount of evidence of their genocide; he was always the first journalist at any site of a massacre or an airstrike. He would've been a key witness to the ICC & ICJ.

That's why Israel has murdered the largest number of journalists at the fastest pace in human history; to suppress any coverage of the genocide & destroy any evidence of their atrocities after.Image
2\ Here's Sinwar schmoozing with Egypt's intelligence minister Abbas Kamel, does that render Kamel a legitimate target?

Israel's argument that a single picture a journalist took with the ruler of Gaza is grounds for murder; how many Israeli journalists have pics with Netanyahu? Image
Image
3\ The pro-Israeli rag that put a target on Hassan's head is now going after another prominent Gazan journalist, Hind Khoudary

They won't stop until every single journalist left in Gaza is murdered! Image

This "aid" plan is so dystopian, starved Gazans are saying one has to be completely insane to step a foot into those militarized compounds run by American mercenaries in an area fully controlled by the IDF

Gazans, the UN & EU diplomats all see it as a dangerous & criminal trap🧵 Image
1\ Divide & rule: under this "aid" plan, Israel decides who gets food in Gaza & who starves to death

Anyone receiving aid would be "screened" by Israel with an undisclosed secret process

I.e. if you ever wrote a post critical of the genocide, the IDF could blacklist your name
2\ Using food as a bait: to receive the food package from that militarized compound, one has to go through an Israeli checkpoint teeming with genocidal soldiers. The checkpoint is powered with facial recognition tech.

🧵The 1st to predict this inevitability in 1934 was Jewish-German psychologist Erich Neumann, who wrote upon meeting Zionists in Palestine:
"Everything [here] leads to fascism... I fear that all our repressed passions, all our ambitions for power and revenge, all the brutality hidden in us, will come to fruition here... This could result in the 'shadow' finally being released & here in Palestine for the 1st time it could be seen & erupt, because there is no external pressure here. It will certainly not be pleasant"Image
2\ In 1948, Albert Einstein & Hannah Arendt noticed it quickly & warned that Israel's Haherut party (today Netanyahu's Likud) was akin to "Nazi & Fascist parties" in its "organization, methods, political philosophy & social appeal". Image
3\ Israeli philosopher Yeshayahu Leibowitz introduced the term "Judeo-Nazis" in the 1980s, where he warned that continued military occupation of the Palestinian territories would lead to the moral degradation of Israel's army:

🚨Israel's demand of disarming Hamas is a red herring designed to sabotage any ceasefire talks🧵

Hamas has virtually no offensive weaponry left (e.g. rockets, tunnels crossing into Israel)

They have light weaponry (e.g. rifles & anti-tank missiles)

Another Oct 7 is impossible! Image
2\ Hamas currently does NOT have the capacity to threaten Israel itself (e.g. rockets)

But they DO have the capacity to maintain a long insurgency *inside* Gaza against the IDF (not Israel itself)

Any serious Israeli analyst would tell you the chances of another Oct 7 are zero! Image
3\ Israel & Hamas share an interest in exaggerating Hamas' remaining capabilities. Israel wants to falsely portray Hamas as a major "existential threat" to justify continued genocide

Hamas wants to present a victory image that it's still in good shape after everything Israel did

Getting many questions about the demonstrations in Gaza

So here's my full assessment of the protests; their potential & limitations; genuineness & spontaneity vs outside influence; motives & goals; & their ability to actually challenge Hamas or bring the war close to an end🧵 Image
1\ The protests seem to have started spontaneously in small numbers & limited areas. Their grievances are genuine; people are tired, desperate for the genocide to end at any cost, many want Hamas to step down from gov to take away Israel's pretext for the siege & killing

But... Image
2\ The protests quickly drew the interest & influence of external actors, keen to exploit Gazans' despair & pain, & this may end up undermining the movement instead of helping

e.g. Israel demanding Gazans take to the street or face death, land theft & forever war will backfire Image
