🧵Critical Thread. Close review of Gaza casualty figures reported by UN OCHA based on daily Hamas “Ministry of Health” numbers proves they are FALSIFIED. Women & children are grossly inflated. This is easily proven but media ignores. See detailed expose below: 1/
UN OCHA publishes a daily “flash update” since Oct 8 and cites detailed Gaza casualty figures provided by Hamas. The website and data is available to the public here: Sometime in October the UN provided the data in graphic form, here is the latest. 2/ ochaopt.org/crisis
It is immediately obvious that Hamas does not report ANY combatant deaths & the numbers amazingly seem to indicate that IDF bombs & bullets disproportionately hit women, children & elderly. They IDF CANNOT seem to hit too many fighting age men. But the numbers are faked. 3/
It first becomes apparent on Oct 19 reporting where Hamas reports 3,785 deaths vs 3,478 prior day or +307. But children killed magically move up from 853 to 1,524 or +671. Oct 18 reporting deaths were 25% children but next day it jumps to 40%! UN published detail is below: 4/
No explanation is given. There is no adjustment at later dates. The running count continues from 1,524 until today. No questioning, no skepticism from UN, NGOs or media on how the children killed number jumps all of a sudden. But there are more falsifications at later dates. 5/
Oct 26 Hamas reported 7,028 fatalities vs 6,547 prior day or +481. Remarkably women & children killed jump by +626 that same day! (See my math in blue below). No men died that day apparently. Again, no hint of shame or skepticism by UN to publish these Hamas numbers. 6/
More Hamas fabricated numbers. October 29 +302 new fatalities were reported but somehow comprised of +199 women and +129 children which comes to +328 or 26 more than total fatalities! (My math shown in blue) Men came back to life? But sure, let’s rely on these statistics. 7/
More daily lies. On Oct 31, 8,525 reported fatalities vs 8,309 prior day or +216. New fatalities of women & children were +210. (Detail for Oct 30 presented by UN in text format). Which means ONLY SIX men of any age were killed that day! That’s 2.8% of that day's fatalities! 8/
There’s more. On Nov 7 Hamas reported 10,328 total fatalities vs 10,022 prior day or +306. New fatalities of women & children +302. Which means ONLY FOUR men of any age were killed that day! That’s 1.3% of that day's fatalities. This is what NGOs & UN rely upon. 9/
Another unmentioned changed: as of Nov 20 “Ministry of Health” stopped reporting numbers and since then it’s the “Media Office” taking charge. Hamas is not even pretending that these numbers are reliable anymore it's just PR. Retweet to media outlets to expose these lies. END

🧵Intentional starvation claims in Gaza are a lie. Israel enabled 100 food trucks/day for week ending July 16—38% above pre-war levels. Since 10/7, 1.4M tons of food entered Gaza, enough for 27 months of needs per WFP. That’s not counting GHF aid. Hamas lies, media accepts. 1/
COGAT issues daily truck data by type, tonnage and route. It’s all been provided in detail since 2023 with 2,700 rows of data (fuel, medicine, water, shelter, etc.) It’s notable that ALL claims of “intentional starvation” never dispute this data or offers alternative data. 2/
Gaza reports 66 TOTAL starvation deaths since 10/7—a million miles below famine thresholds. Famine in Gaza would mean 400 deaths/DAY; Phase 4 starts at 200/day. These recent Palestinian-sourced numbers utterly destroy the famine and “intentional starvation” narrative. 3/
🧵Many “genocide scholars” alleging genocide in Gaza didn’t reach that view through careful analysis of the war. They called Israel genocidal long before 10/7. For example, Martin Shaw, now often cited, called Zionism and Israel’s 1948 founding genocidal years ago. Details: 1/
Shaw is therefore not a neutral “genocide expert” evaluating Gaza but an anti-Israel activist. If Israel’s creation & Zionism are genocide, then Gaza is a foregone conclusion. In all his writings since 10/7 he doesn’t engage with facts & analyze—he instead shills for Hamas. 2/
Shaw admits Hamas embeds in the civilian population but instead of blaming Hamas, he excuses it—granting it blanket immunity. He claims Israel’s aim to destroy Hamas is thus illegal and genocidal because civilians will die. So this "expert" just invents international law. 3/
đź§µGAZA FATALITY UPDATE: Hamas released a new fatality list on July 15, with 58,000 deaths. It reveals:
➡️Combat-age deaths are 73% male → 18,600 excess
➡️Teens 13-17: 66% male; confirms child combatants
➡️Data contradicts claims of indiscriminate attacks
As in prior lists, the well known use by Hamas & PIJ of teen combatants as young as 13 is confirmed, with 66% of teen fatalities male, almost 2,000 excess teen combatants recorded. Silence, of course, from UN & fake NGOs. Under age 10, fatalities close to 50-50 male/female. 2/
Latest 58,380 fatality count includes NATURAL DEATHS but it’s difficult to discern as it’s all mixed together. After denying this practice for 17 months, Hamas admitted to including natural deaths recently, see thread. More analysis to come. END
🧵Every article by so-called “genocide experts" without exception fabricate or grossly misrepresent quotes by Israeli leaders to invent the required “special intent” for genocide. This week it was Omer Bartov; before it was Raz Segal, Daniel Blatman & Amos Goldberg. More detail:
Raz Segal raced to publish the libel on Oct 13, 2023 even as Israeli bodies were still being collected inside Israel. He admits its “very difficult to prove intent” then lies by misstating Herzog, Netanyahu and even Naftali Bennet. See thread. 2/
Blatman & Goldberg wrote a piece for Haaretz claiming genocide and just fabricated quotes. For example they claim Netanyahu said “we must destroy Amalek” but he only said “remember” Amalek. The know “remember” is not genocidal so they lied. See thread: 3/
🧵Omer Bartov’s NYT piece charging Israel with genocide fails in the opening paragraphs. His five examples of “genocidal intent” by Netanyahu & Gallant are grossly misrepresented or invented. None come anywhere close to meeting the legal bar of “special intent.” Analysis⬇️ 1/
Bartov’s FIRST evidence of genocidal intent? Netanyahu saying the enemy, clearly Hamas, would pay a “huge [immense] price” on the morning of 10/7. See the full statement below, ZERO genocidal intent. Bartov dishonestly invents intent. The genocide case collapses immediately. 2/
The second evidence: Bibi said areas where HAMAS is operating would be turned into rubble. It specifically refers to Hamas. Somehow Bartov twists this into "special intent" to kill the Palestinian people in a genocide. Just outright dishonesty by Bartov. See statement: 3/
🧵Gaza reports 66 TOTAL starvation deaths since 10/7—a million miles below famine thresholds. Famine in Gaza would mean 400 deaths/DAY; Phase 4 starts at 200/day. These recent Palestinian-sourced numbers utterly destroy the famine and “intentional starvation” narrative. 1/
According to IPC, Phase 5 famine means 2/10,000 dying daily. Phase 4 Emergency, 1/10,000 daily. That would mean well over 70,000 starvation deaths by now in Gaza. After 21 months, the number is under 100. The data doesn’t support famine. It exposes the lies & propaganda. 2/
Of course there’s no famine or intentional starvation, because food entering Gaza since 10/7 has EXCEEDED pre-war levels. I’ve reviewed every major report claiming famine and not one addresses the data below, contradicts it, or offers an alternative. They just ignore it. 3/
