🚨Important! Haaretz definitively debunks iconic horror stories from Oct 7:
40 beheaded babies
Baby burned in oven
A pregnant woman's stomach opened & her fetus removed
Children bound together & burned
Pregnant hostage giving birth
Haaretz says only 1 baby was killed on Oct 7đź§µ
2\ The report is in Hebrew for now (English version will follow soon). It maintains that other atrocities were committed on Oct 7, but thoroughly debunks the stories of beheaded babies, a disemboweled pregnant woman, children burned together, baby in oven! haaretz.co.il/news/politics/…
3\ Here Netanyahu told Biden "They took dozens of children, tied them up, burned them and executed them". Biden fell for it instantly.
Haaretz now says this claim "does not exactly correspond to the picture of reality"!
4\ A ZAKA commander, Yossi Landau, claimed he saw 20 mutilated, executed & burned bodies of children piled on top of each other In Be'eri. He later claimed it was in Kfar Aza.
Haaretz says only 3 kids were killed in all of Kfar Aza & 9 in all of Be'eri & not all together!
5\ ZAKA commander, Yossi Landau, also claimed he saw a pregnant woman in House 426 in Be'eri with her stomach cut open & her fetus still attached to it but stabbed.
Haaretz says that whole neighbourhood is inhibited by pensioners & no one recalled any pregnant women there!
6\ Israelis circulated a fake video to claim it showed a pregnant woman being disembowelled by Hamas & her fetus killed. But Haaretz cites FakeReporter's conclusion that the video is from another country.
7\ Eli Beer, head of Ihud Hatzalah, repeated the "pregnant woman" canard & said "[Hamas] put a baby in an oven & turned on the oven".
Dailymail fell for it.
Haaretz now says this is false! "The police have no evidence of a body that answers these signs"!
8\ Sarah Netanyahu sent a letter to Jill Biden about a pregnant hostage that gave birth in Gaza.
Haaretz says this is false. The hostage in question, Natwari Mulkan, was released last week & was definitely not pregnant!

🚨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.
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!
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.
Just went through all of Anas al-Sharif's messages on Oct 7, 2023, no such messages exists.
Telegram doesn't even put the date on messages.
Israel is so desperate to justify murdering Gaza's top journalist, but all they have are doctored docs, fake screenshots & a picture he took *as a journalist* with Gaza's rulers.
Even if Anas wrote this fake message, even if he took selfies with every single Hamas leader on the face of earth, even if he was once a militant in 2017...
NONE of this would justify murdering him! Israel didn't provide any evidence Anas was actively taking part in hostilities or combat!
This was Anas’s message history on that day. Notice there’s nothing at 15:49, there’s no date on the message
Folks are asking what does Netanyahu’s occupation plan mean, since Israel already occupies Gaza?
It means implementing the notorious “Generals Plan” to Gaza city, Deir al-Bala & Nusairat; the only last 3 areas Israel hasn’t fully wiped out & where most Gazans are sheltering🧵
2\ The “Generals Plan” is ethnic cleansing (per Israel itself) done in 5 steps:
Fully encircle & besiege a city
Cut food & water & take hospitals & other vital services out
Bomb incessantly by air, land & sea
Invade gradually & force people out at gunpoint
Flatten everything
3\ Israel tested the "Generals Plan" in Northern Gaza in late 2024
There were around 150,000 Gazans there at the start
IDF surrounded them, cut off all food & water for over 100 days, gradually advanced from all directions, forced people out until only about 12,000 were left.
The ultimate gift to Hamas is NOT a few countries' symbolic recognition of Palestine
The ultimate gift to Hamas is Netanyahu & Trump humiliating, weakening, sanctioning & bankrupting the Palestinian Authority no matter how far Abbas goes to appease Israel & the USđź§µ
2\ Hamas' key argument for armed resistance is that nonviolence, advocacy, civil disobedience, international courts, diplomacy, peace processes are all futile & if you try them you'd only get smacked & demonized by Israel & the US without achieving any tangible results
3\ Hamas' main case study to legitimize their path is to point out how Mahmoud Abbas recognized Israel, renounced violence, suppressed intifadas, & actively collaborates with the US & Israel against fellow Palestinians
Then they'd ask "what did Abbas get out of this? Nothing"
We warned about this 8 months ago; Israel's 5 finger policy of dissecting Gaza into smaller concentration camps using "security corridors" (i.e. extermination zones):
Everything on both sides of each corridor is then gradually wiped out
2\ You can already see how Israel systematically demolished every single building on both sides of its latest "corridor" in Khan Younis
Those "corridors" are deadlier than the Berlin Wall; anyone trying to cross from one side to another is instantly executed
3\ Each time Israel creates a "security corridor" (i.e. extermination zone), they gradually expand its width until it becomes a giant strip of wasteland
Netzarim started as a narrow route, quickly expanded to 4 miles (6.5 km) in width
Every single building in there was wiped out
10 soldiers took turns to rape their victim on camera until they exploded his intestines & raptured his rectum. Gov leaders, MPs, religious leaders… all praised the rapists. National TVs hosted the rapists. The public overwhelmingly supported the rapists.
They now pretend this never happened; the very folks who never said a single word about this want to shame you into supporting a genocide by screaming “Oct 7 sexual violence” every single day!
