🧵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/

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/

🧵Fabricated Israel genocide claim relies on misrepresented quotes by Israeli officials to show “intent” necessary to prove genocide. South Africa ICJ genocide filing says @Isaac_Herzog “made clear” Israel INTENDS to kill all Palestinians. Here is full debunking of this lie. 1/ Image
Did Herzog "make clear" at Oct 12 press conference that Israel won’t distinguish between militants & civilians and thus intends genocide of all Pals? NO. South Africa is LYING, Herzog actually said the exact opposite, see his words below said at 11:50 2/ news.cgtn.com/news/2023-10-1…
Image
South Africa & Israel haters deliberately ignore everything Herzog said at long press conference and misrepresent one comment. A reporter asked Herzog how Israel can alleviate impact of war on civilians “many of those who have nothing to do with Hamas.” Herzog responded: 3/ Image

🧵FAKE HAMAS CASUALTY UPDATE and latest IDF estimates. At Dec 30 Hamas and its uncritical UN mouthpiece claimed 21,672 Gazan fatalities, 70% women & children. Based on this number it would mean IDF has killed only ~1,100 combatants. See analysis & Hamas lies exposed, again: 1/ Image
Israeli media reports ~8,300 combatants killed by IDF up from ~7,900 a week ago. 7,000 in north Gaza and 1,300 in south, including 2 brigade, 20 battalion & 50 company commanders. Increase matches daily IDF reports and heavy action in center & south. 2/mako.co.il/news-military/…
If one accepts Hamas casualty numbers it NECESSARILY means IDF has killed ~1,100 combatants vs ~8,300 claimed. Analysis below shows that once proportional share of civilian men killed are properly accounted for, combatant deaths according to Hamas are a preposterous ~1,100. 3/ Image

🧵FAKE HAMAS CASUALTY UPDATE and details on formal IDF estimate. At Dec 28 Hamas and its uncritical UN mouthpiece claimed 21,110 Gazan fatalities, 70% women & children. Based on this number it would mean IDF has killed only 1,100 combatants. See analysis & Hamas lies exposed: 1/ Image
If one accepts Hamas casualty numbers it NECESSARILY means IDF has killed ~1,100 combatants vs ~7,860 claimed. Analysis below shows that once proportional share of civilian men killed are properly accounted for, combatant deaths according to Hamas are a preposterous ~1,100. 2/ Image
IDF finally provided formal estimate of combatants killed. Unlike Hamas who knows immediately, Israel took weeks to assess. Maj General Toledano told cabinet IDF killed 7,860 combatants based on compiling data from many sources; @conricus said the following in an interview: 3/ Image

Intellectual dishonesty by @KenRoth @hrw amazingly exposed by interview on Comedy Central, of all places. Roth cannot answer what qualifies as a "disproportionate attack," assumes IDF lies, dismisses Hamas use of civilian shields & more. See details: 1/
@noam_dworman asks Roth several times why Jebaliya bombing was deemed disproportionate, how many civilian deaths would have made it “proportionate” and what criteria Roth can provide on when something is proportionate. Roth has no answers, get’s annoyed, eventually hangs up. 2/ Image
Roth dismisses IDF claims on value of Jebaliya attack: “you got to be careful about taking IDF at their word” because they said “there’s a huge command center under Al Shifa.” Roth effectively admits HRW reports he led assume Israel lies, but they always accepts Hamas claims. 3/

🧵FAKE HAMAS CASUALTY UPDATE: Latest Hamas fatality count of ~20,000 claims at least 14,200 are women & children. If one accepts these numbers it means IDF has only killed ~840 Hamas versus latest IDF estimate of 8,000. Here is detailed analysis which shows Hamas is lying: 1/ Image
IDF yesterday said 8,000 Hamas killed which would mean only 12,000 civilians killed (assuming Hamas total number is accurate) which is 2,200 less than total women & children Hamas claims, forgetting any civilian men. Either Hamas or IDF is massively lying. 2/ Image
If one accepts Hamas women & children killed as accurate it NECESSARILY means that IDF has killed less than 1,000 combatants vs 19,000 civilians. This would mean IDF is inflating combatants killed by ~7,000 and the war is a complete failure! Do you believe this? See analysis: 3/

🧵@hrw piece claiming Israel intends to starve Gazans for war is propaganda masking as scholarship but covered by NY Times. Like all HRW "reports" on Israel it is filled with lies, errors, misrepresentations & omissions. Here is a detailed breakdown: 1/

hrw.org/news/2023/12/1…
Image
The core lie is presented upfront claiming that for 2 months Israel has deprived Gaza with GOAL of starving Gaza incredibly omitting ANY detail on the many 1000s of trucks that have entered Gaza. Food & aid has been at ~90% of pre-war levels and FAR more recently. 2/ Image
From Oct 21-early Dec truckloads of aid were 3,499 or about 90% of pre-war 2022 levels. Israel opened Keren Shalom to move truckloads up further to ~190/day. HRW does not mention any of this in their “report” – not one number or statistic to evidence their claims! 3/ Image
