As the Israeli Operation Swords of Iron against terrorists in Gaza begins, we're seeing the same propaganda put out during Operation Protective Edge (July 8, 2014 – August 26, 2014).

Here are some things to keep in mind as the current war progresses:

I am the only person on earth who took the time to actually verify the claims made about deaths of Palestinian civilians.

To do so, I studied hundreds of thousands of documents, photos, and videos.

These are my conclusions.

1. The majority of the bodies seen were intact and showed no major traumatic injuries, inconsistent with death by high-explosive aerial munition or artillery.

2. In videos, Palestinian civilians are seen running TOWARD explosions, indicating that they know that the Israelis use guided munitions and will not hit a target already destroyed.

3. If the bombing and shelling were indiscriminate, one would expect the victims to represent the demographics of Gaza: roughly evenly split between males and females of all ages, with 50 percent under the age of 18.

This was not so.

3. (cont.) Instead, 60 percent of the dead “civilians” were military-aged males, 10 percent were adult females, 5 percent were elderly men and women, while only 25 percent were reported under the age of 18.

Additionally, terrorists use children as young as five as combatants.

4. Of the children, 80 percent of the dead were males, while only 20 percent were females.

5. Of the children, at least half of the males over 13 had terrorist martyrdom posters, indicating that they were combatants.

The youngest acknowledged combatant was nine years old.

6. Of the children, several were listed as adults on multiple lists.

7. The majority of military-aged men reported as civilians were in fact terrorist operatives, as revealed by terrorist martyrdom posters or announcements.

8. No two lists of the 2200 civilian dead contained the same names, and no two lists contained consistent ages for those named.

9. One hundred percent of the victims on all lists were identified, despite the nature of their alleged modes of death. No victim was burned beyond recognition, blown to pieces, or buried irretrievably under rubble.

Nobody went missing either.

10. In Gaza, the terrorists blew up over 3000 buildings and fired over 800 rockets that fell short. It is unknown how many of the thousands of mortar rounds fell short. Video and photographic evidence shows that at minimum, hundreds of Palestinians were killed by their own side.

11. Battle damage on cars and buildings in Gaza shows the use of weapons not in the Israeli arsenal; for example, holes created by explosive ordnance packed with ball bearings.

12. Palestinian medics reported that the overwhelming majority of the civilians killed in the Battle of Shijaya were locked inside their homes by terrorists.

13. The Fatah Party reported that Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad carried out hundreds of political murders. Cross-checking the names show that these were reported as civilians killed by Israel.

14. According to Palestinian eyewitnesses, terrorists murdered civilians trying to flee or violating curfew and counted these deaths as caused by Israel.

15. Terrorists in Gaza have adopted the concept of “involuntary martyrdom,” which means that civilians can be murdered so that their deaths can be attributed to the actions of Israel.

This will be my only post on X.

Nor will I read or respond to comments.

Godspeed, Israel. You will win in Gaza, and then you must deal with Iran.

Best to all,
