Thread: The New York Times has published an investigation into the events of October 7 in kibbutz Be'eri, whitewashing how Israel implemented the Hannibal Directive. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
The climax of the investigation details what happened at the house of Pessi Cohen, where 14 Israelis had been taken captive by 40 Hamas militants.
As I showed in @UncapturedNews based on survivor testimony, Israeli soldiers immediately opened fire when they arrived, and later fired tank shells into the house, killing Israeli civilians (very likely all of them) along with their Hamas captors.
Brigadier General Barak Hiram made the decision to fire tank shells into Pessi Cohen's house, killing Israeli civilians and their captors.
The NYT quotes Hiram justifying his decision by claiming Hamas militants fired and RPG at soldiers from inside the home. However, no one else alleged that in any other report, and Hiram was denounced as a liar by a family member of an Israeli who was killed.
Hiram is not credible, and is part of the same Israeli military that has spread countless lies about October 7 like the 40 beheaded babies deception, mass rape, etc.
That's how the NYT whitewashed the Hannibal Directive, as it was applied to Pessi Cohen's home.
The investigation doesn't bother to ask why homes in Be'eri had their roofs destroyed but walls left in tact, which was evidently a result of Israeli Apache helicopters striking them, as I showed an Israeli volunteer testifying about.
Overall, the investigation contains numerous devastating testimonies from Israeli survivors and important footage, but it whitewashes the key question about the Israeli military's decision to kill its own people instead of negotiate or allow them to be taken into Gaza alive.

.@inkasvehicles delivered armored vehicles to Haiti last October, used to enforce IMF fuel price hikes imposed by the Ariel Henry regime and fire indiscriminately into densely populated slums. They delivered another shipment in January. Inkas is proud of its product.
.@JudithSamLouis, another Canadian military contractor troll account, accused me of “spreading fake nasty rumours and conspiracies about Canada’s efforts to help Haiti.” It also called for an international invasion of Haiti.
THREAD: @Blacks4Peace, an anti-war group which I greatly respect, hosted a teach-in on Haiti in November. One of the guests, Jean Saint-Vil (@jafrikayiti), denounced @kimives13, Haitian news outlet @haiti_liberte and myself, and accuses us of being CIA.
Jean Saint-Vil is a longtime Canadian government employee. In 2019, he leveraged that career experience into an advisor position at McGill University, which includes "strengthening strategic international partnerships benefitting Canada."
As I have been reporting, Canada is playing a leading role in U.S. plans for a military invasion of Haiti. Just this past weekend, Canada flew a warplane over the country to "disrupt gangs" – a reference to Jimmy 'Barbecue' Cherizier.
Just now @KimDotcom asked @elonmusk about the persecution of Julian Assange. Musk responds “I just don’t know enough about the Assange situation to say whether he should be punished or not.”
.@elonmusk suggests @Snowden should be put on trial in the United States. @KimDotcom says he wouldn’t get a fair trial, and suggests Musk do a poll to see what Twitter users think. Musk agrees.
Huge thanks to @KimDotcom for asking these essential questions. I hope @elonmusk will educate himself on the subjects of Assange and Snowden. The persecution of these two represents the greatest threat to press freedom.
Journalist @GarlandNixon was permanently suspended for joking about the brutal violence U.S. empire metes out around the world.
His comment on the suspension: “Change Blinken to Putin and change Palestinians to Ukrainians and it gets boosted by Twitter instead of censored.” twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
US empire’s current tactic to maintain control & prevent revolution in Haiti is to placate anti-interventionist sentiment with pseudo-acknowledgements of past interference, and promote its favored political faction as a break from the past. Don’t be fooled nytimes.com/2022/10/12/opi…
Washington is pushing for the Montana Accord, a bunch of establishment political & “civil society” figures to take power. It’s headed by Magali Comeau Denis, a key figure in the 2004 coup against Aristide and coup regime culture minister. Same old imperialism, just a new branding
Her right hand man is Ted St. Dic, who recently called for US to “take aggressive action” in Haiti – euphemism for military intervention. Montana Accord’s answer is more US empire. justsecurity.org/82968/as-haiti…
