🧵Fabricated Israel genocide claim relies on quotes by Israeli officials to show “Intent” necessary to prove genocide. 5 words from @yoavgallant “We are fighting human animals” remains core evidence Israel INTENDS genocide but he meant Hamas. Here is a full debunking of lie: 1/ Image
Recent "genocide" filing by South Africa in ICJ also relies on Gallant quote. Gallant tweeted 92 times since 10/7. Not one post alludes to killing Palestinians, only Hamas. To claim Gallant intended genocide means twisting 5 words & ignoring numerous contrary statements. 2/
Shown below are 20 examples for the record of Gallant making clear Israel is only fighting Hamas. Some specifically note civilians are not a target. This is how Israel demonization works. Misrepresent a quote snippet, ignore huge amounts of contrary evidence, repeat the lie. 3/
Some claim because Gallant also announced siege of Gaza it intended genocide. But sieges are legal under int’l law & Israel is under no obligation to supply Gaza. Of course Israel has facilitated tons of 3rd party aid. So claiming this action intended genocide is also false. 4/ Image
Oct 7: Gallant's first statement came on 10/7 when he said: “Hamas launched a criminal act… he will realize very quickly he made a grave mistake.” There was no reference to Palestinians or that Palestinians made a mistake. Only Hamas. 5/
Oct 7: Later the same day after speaking with US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin Gallant said: “The State of Israel will win this war, and Hamas will be held responsible for its actions.” Not Palestinians. Only Hamas will be held responsible. 6/
Oct 8: Gallant posted: “Hamas has become ISIS in Gaza. In this war we are fighting against a murderous terrorist organization… We will fight it as we fight against criminal terrorists, and we will win.” Nothing about Palestinians. 7/
On Oct 9 Gallant announced the legal siege on Gaza, and said “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.” According to the genocide libelers, Gallant clearly INTENDED TO KILL ALL Palestinians, not just Hamas. Ignoring 3 prior statements & all that followed. 8/
Oct 10: Reacting to words from President Biden Gallant posted: “Israel faced a barbaric attack by Hamas… Today we focus on destroying the “ISIS” of Gaza and defending our citizens. The U.S. stands with us” Nothing about Palestinians. 9/
Oct 12: In meeting with NATO Gallant discussed the “war against Hamas” and that “The IDF will destroy Hamas.” Nothing about Palestinians. 10/
Oct 12: Gallant later posted the same day that we will “Wipe Hamas off the ground - and we will win.” Nothing about Palestinians. 11/
Oct 13: In meeting with US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin Gallant said: “We will topple the Hamas regime and make sure that the threat does not exist within our borders.” Nothing about Palestinians. 12/
Oct 15: In meeting with troops: “Wild beasts have murdered our soldiers, our children, our citizens. IDF fighters, together with the air force, intelligence personnel and navy, will eliminate Hamas.” Not Palestinians. 13/
i24news.tv/en/news/israel…
Oct 16: In meeting with Blinken Gallant posted message: “We are going to win the war against Hamas.” Nothing about Palestinians. 14/
Oct 20: In meeting with members of Knesset to discuss goals of war: “I see the determination, the spirit of battle, and above all, the motivation to carry out everything needed to defeat Hamas…” 15/ jns.org/gallant-the-go…
Oct 22: In meeting with Air Force command: “This needs to be the last [ground] maneuver in Gaza, for the simple reason that after it there will be no Hamas. It will take a month, two months, three, but in the end, there will be no Hamas.” 16/
timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…
Oct 29: Gallant said: "We are not fighting the Palestinian multitude and the Palestinian people in Gaza” -- so clearly no intent to kill all Palestinians in a genocide. 17/
timesofisrael.com/gallant-second…
Nov 13: Gallant posted statement: “We will continue operating against Hamas - the ISIS of Gaza… Any civilians located near such terror hotspots may be in danger and we call on them to evacuate to the safe zone in the southern of Gaza.” 18/
Nov 19: Gallant posted statement: “We are in an all-out war against Hamas - there is no difference between a terrorist with a Kalashnikov and a uniform and a terrorist with a suit - they are all mortals.” Nothing about Palestinians. 19/
Nov 25: Gallant posted statement: “I arrived during Shabbat in the Gaza Strip, to conduct a situation assessment for the continuation of the fighting to defeat Hamas.” Nothing about Palestinians. 20/
Nov 30: In meeting with Blinken Gallant said: “We are fighting a just war - a war against Hamas. We will not stop until we bring the hostages home and until we destroy Hamas.” Not Palestinians. 21/
Dec 1: Gallant posted: “Hamas only understands force & therefore we will continue to act until we achieve the goals of the war the dismantling of the organization the denial of its military capabilities & the return of all abductees to their homes.” 22/
Dec 5: In meeting with Defense Minister of Hungary Gallant said: “We cannot stop operating until we achieve the missions of this war: bringing home the hostages and destroying Hamas.” Not Palestinians. 23/
Dec 14: In meeting with US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan: “Hamas is a terrorist organization that built itself over a decade to fight Israel… it will last more than several months, but we will win and we will destroy them.” Not Palestinians 24/

Dec 17: Gallant posted a statement where he said “the goals of the war – overthrowing the rule of Hamas.” Nothing about harming Palestinians. 25/

🧵Hamas & PIJ's own martyr notices exposed the broad militarization of Gaza's healthcare system. Dozens of purported "healthcare workers" have been identified as military commanders and operatives using hospitals as command centers. This ongoing thread documents the evidence. Image

🧵Hours of Hamas martyr videos reveal Hamas' core battle strategy: fighters roaming Gaza in regular clothes, often unarmed, to blend into the civilian population. That tactic explains IDF errors such as tragic killing of 3 hostages and incidents in no-go zones. A PHOTO ESSAY: Image
Men in polo shits prepared IEDs, went in & out of tunnels, fired rockets, entered apartments with PRE-POSITIONS weapons (important) to fire at IDF forces – then when killed always listed as civilians. Every photo shown here is from combat action in Gaza filmed by Hamas. 2/ Image
Thousands of Gaza buildings were booby-trapped – among the most common activity seen by Hamas operatives dressed in t-shirts and sandals. Which is a main reason why every place urban combat took place was destroyed. 3/ Image

🧵Hamas regularly used child soldiers in Gaza—like 12-year-old Khalil Al-Dhaifi, killed in Al-Shati area on Sept 26, 2025. Khalil (ID# 434373940) is one of several Al-Dhaifi family combatants killed in the war and one of 1,000s of Hamas & PIJ child soldiers in Gaza. Details: 1/ Image
Khalil appears on final Hamas MoH fatality list issued Feb 2026. Several Al-Dhaifi relatives were combatants e.g. Moman Al-Dhaifi (seen in recent Hamas martyr video). Family posts show the 12-yr-old with an AK-47; earlier images prove he used guns from an early age. 2/
Social media posts available upon request. The “Genocide in Gaza” site lists Khalil and his death details but crops out the weapon, as all entries are presented as civilians. 3/ gigaza.org/martyrs/%d8%ae…

🧵Hamas & PIJ’s own martyr notices now shatter claims that IDF airstrikes on homes in Gaza, many in 2023, were indiscriminate or targeted low-level fighters. Of 2,000 killed Gaza combatants identified so far, 157 were commanders killed where they were based—their homes. Details: Image
The first name on the list is Hamas Company Commander Shadi Awni Toutah. According to Gazan websites documenting fatalities, he was killed in an airstrike on his family home on the same day of the 10/7 attack. This was a highly targeted attack by the IDF. 2/ Image
The second name on the list is PIJ Platoon Commander Bilal Abu Khousa who was killed in his family home on Oct 8, 2023 in Deir Al-Balah according to Gazan documentation. He was lauded as a martyr in social media but not revealed as a combatant until PIJ did so in May 2026. 3/ Image

🧵UN Human Rights Council issued a "report" claiming, without a shred of evidence, that IDF forces by national policy identified, aimed & killed Palestinian children as such, sometimes for target practice. I wrote a rebuttal for @UNWatch summary below. 1/
unwatch.org/un-watch-legal…
1. Failure to provide corroborating evidence of any incident of IDF soldiers targeting children: A review of the incidents cited by the COI shows no evidence supporting the report’s headline allegation. In none of the cases can the COI definitively establish that a civilian Palestinian child was identified by an IDF soldier and intentionally targeted for death. That conclusion is speculative throughout. The COI’s methodology effectively assumes that a child killed in Gaza was both killed by the IDF and intentionally targeted merely because the child died.
2. Erasure of Hamas as a belligerent: The Report erases Hamas and other armed groups as active belligerents despite their deployment of tens of thousands of operatives throughout Gaza and their extensive military infrastructure built over 17 years, including vast tunnel networks, weapons stockpiles, booby-trapped buildings, and command facilities embedded within civilian areas.[2] There is no acknowledgement or discussion of Hamas’s use of hospitals, schools, mosques, residential buildings, and humanitarian zones for military purposes, or its openly acknowledged strategy of operating from within the civilian population.[3] A reader would come away believing the IDF was deployed in Gaza against only women and children. By ignoring the existence of Hamas and other armed groups as an opposing fighting force in Gaza, the COI creates a framework in which the deaths of children are presumed to reflect deliberate targeting rather than the realities of combat in an urban battlefield.

🧵IDF struck a car in Khan Younes on Jun 26, 2025 widely portrayed as killing "civilians"—but Hamas admitted today that victim Manar Al-Farra was a commander; Haitham Al-Agha was in Hamas' Sahm unit. What are the chances the other three men killed were "civilians"? Detail: 1/ Image
How do we know Manar Al-Farra and Haitham Al-Agha were killed in this attack? This was widely reported in social and other media. And Hamas released today a 4-minute martyr video identifying Farra as a commander. 2/

t.me/AqmarTofan/1414
Haitham Agha is openly identified by Gazans on social media as a Hamas operative. The other three will be eventually identified as combatants too, as they were not simply riding with a Hamas commander & Sahm operative to go shopping. END Image
