6 🧵s to make sense of Israel/Palestine:
1) A history Palestinian non-violent resistance
2) A history of Hamas
3) A history of Israel's ethnic cleansing Palestinians
4) A history of Israel's wars on Gaza
5) A history of Gaza
6) A history of Israel’s use of disproportionate force

In this 🧵, I document many cases in which Palestinians embraced non-violent resistance.
In every case, Israel responded w/ lethal & disproportionate violence.
This helps explain why a small number of Palestinians have instead turned to violence.

In this 🧵 I show how Hamas sought a truce w/Israel in '88, '06, '08, '12 (& '17).
In each case, Israel preferred war to peace, since peace meant a challenge to Israel's Jewish demographic domination & withdrawal from the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

In this 🧵 I show how:
1) Israel indiscriminately attacks 1000s of civilians in every war
2) Israel uses disproportionate force in every war
3) Israel collectively punishes the innocent in every war.
And you wonder why Hamas embraced those same tactics?

In this 🧵, I show how Zionists wondered how it would be possible to establish a Jewish State in a land of non-Jews. Then, I show how Zionists realized their dream of Jewish demographic domination, beginning and continuing through the present day.

In this 🧵, I document Israel's 56-year long violent military occupation of Gaza, in which Israel denied millions of people over the course of 3 generations basic human rights.
Who would have guessed that so much violence would breed violence?

In this 🧵, I argue Israel's core military doctrine for 75yrs has been disproportionality, namely:
Respond w/ disproportionate violence (note: proportionality is a key principle of international law).
Who would have guessed this would lead to blowback?
