⚡️Who is this crisis actor in a first responder jacket?
Thread 🧵
Eli Beer is the president and founder of United Hatzalah. He has a son in the IDF. In the last month, he has raised millions.
He said he saw a 4-month pregnant woman who was ripped open, and her fetus stabbed in front of her. He goes on to say they shot her and then shot her kids.
He said, "I saw little kids who were beheaded. We didn't know which head belongs to which kid."
He said, "We saw a little baby in an oven. They put them in, these bastards put these babies in an oven and put on the oven."
Eli Beer invented the 'baked babies in oven' story.
Even Israeli journalist @ishaycoen has said it was fabricated after checking with the IDF and other Israeli sources.
The 'pregnant woman fetus stabbing' claim started on an Indian pro-Israel account. Israel has never confirmed it.
Here’s where the war currently stands and where it might be heading next
Let’s start by remembering what each party wants
Hezb has declared that they want a ceasefire and an end to the genocide in Gaza
Israel wants Hezbollah to change these conditions for ceasefire, negotiate separately from Gaza, and retreat behind the Litani River.
Israel is asking Hezbollah to do something it cannot reasonably do without appearing weak
They can’t appear to be abandoning the people of Gaza nor can they go back on what they have clearly stated as an immovable objective : end the genocide
And retreating behind the Litani River would destroy Hezb reputation as a formidable force, tantamount to suicide.
Israel on the other hand can end the genocide without appearing weak. Gaza is completely destroyed. Thousands have left Gaza and tens of thousands , if not hundreds of thousands, have been killed.
So there is a way for Israel to declare success, no matter how grotesque it would be, in Gaza.
They wanted revenge for Oct 7th. They got it.
But Israel won’t do this. The ball is in their court. They have now moved beyond the initial objectives of destroying Gaza, “freeing the hostages”, and taking revenge for Oct 7th.
Israel kicked into war time gear a year ago. Justifying the human and financial capital for this isn’t easy. It isn’t often that your population is ready and willing to deal with the inconvenience of war.
So Israel has decided to extend this war as long as possible to maximize the potential benefits.
Hezbollah has served as a legitimate threat to Israeli interests for decades.
