🧵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/
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/
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 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/ timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…
Dec 17: Gallant posted a statement where he said “the goals of the war – overthrowing the rule of Hamas.” Nothing about harming Palestinians. 25/
🧵One of the many disturbing truths of the Gaza war: PIJ knew its rockets were faulty and killing its own civilians (like at Al Ahli Hospital) and continued regardless. My fatality analysis estimated ~4,200 Gazans were killed by Hamas and misfires. It’s probably conservative. 1/
🚨Yet another “journalist” listed by @pressfreedom as killed by Israel has now been confirmed as a Hamas Rafah Brigade fighter. About half of the ~200 so-called journalists killed are confirmed terrorists, eventually most, if not all, will be similarly identified. Details 1/
Credit to @MiddleEastBuka who scours social media to located the mourning posters. After 2 years of hiding the mass death of Hamas combatants, families & friends are revealing the truth. Detailed evidence below: 2/
Here is the @pressfreedom listing for this now confirmed US-designated terrorist. @jodieginsberg as CEO of the organization will you remove confirmed terrorists from the list of killed journalists in Gaza? 3/
There’s been some skepticism about WHO vaccinating 603,000 Gazan children age <10 for polio in 2025. But WHO published detailed daily vaccination data by age & location. UNICEF independently corroborates all of it. The numbers are real and fatal to “genocide” hoax. Sources: 1/
UNICEF published a situation report in March 2025 detailing the polio vaccination campaign, noting 602,795 children <10 received the polio vaccine, 102% of the target. 2/ unicef.org/media/169216/f…
WHO published report in Apr 2025 detailing polio vaccinations in Gaza (p. 10). 560,000 in round 1; 556,774 in round 2; 603,000 in round 3. They note "humanitarian pauses" that allowed program to succeed. Hmm who allowed pauses? They won't say Israel. 3/ cdn.who.int/media/docs/def…
🧵Antizionism relies on 3 core libels: settler colonialism, apartheid, and genocide. Each claim fails on definition alone. Israel was not created by a colonial power. Apartheid is a racial crime. Genocide requires intent to destroy a group as such. Each debunked below: 1/
Colonialism is quite simple. It's a policy or system in which a country controls another country or area. Sometimes the power moved its people to the colony to assert further
control. Calling Israel settler-colonial fails upfront. 2/
Apartheid is defined by int'l law as purely RACIAL; not based on political, national, ethnic, cultural, religious or gender identity differences. Palestinians are not a race. Jews are not a race. Israeli society is not "similar" to apartheid either. 3/
🧵According to new data by Hamas Ministry of Health released this week, 475 Gazans have died from "famine and malnutrition" for the ENTIRE WAR—and 14 since the ceasefire on Oct 10. Seventeen per month is not far above baseline and exposes every IPC report as pure propaganda. 1/
Even IPC's Dec 2025 report claims that 1.5 million Gazans are living in Phase 4 Emergency or Phase 3 Crisis hunger levels, which by definition leads to consistent mortality. If true, more than 3,000 Gazans should have died from hunger related issues in December alone! 2/
Thread shows that even in US there are 23,000 malnutrition deaths each year, not much lower than baseline implied by 475 Gazans deaths in two years. There has never been "famine" or "intentional starvation" in Gaza; the data proves it definitively. 3/
🧵1,000s of children killed in Gaza were actually combatants; Hamas regularly uses soldiers as young as 12. Social media is confirming more cases daily. Data reflects this: 1,000s more teen boys vs girls are listed as fatalities and new recruits include many teens. Examples: 1/
Last week a 12 year old was uncovered as a child combatant, among the youngest yet revealed. His father openly revealed that he was killed as a fighter. Silence from UN and Fake NGOs like Amnesty & HRW 2/
In June 2025, 4 brothers, all combatants, were killed and mourned as fighters in specific combat brigades. One was 17 years old. A family business. Credit to @MiddleEastBuka who researches social media to uncover truth the media does not want to know. 3/
