🧵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/
🧵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/
🧵In 2025 the WHO reported vaccinating 603,000 children in Gaza under 10—more than existed pre-war. A key statistic no one pushing the “genocide” hoax will mention because it contradicts every claim of fatality undercounts or “targeting children.” The libel cannot survive it. 1/
How many children under 10 lived in Gaza before and during the war? Using 10 years of actual birth data, we can estimate closely. Palestinian authorities report ~58,000 births/year in Gaza from 2007–2022. What about 2023 and 2024? Let’s break it down: 2/ pcbs.gov.ps/statisticsIndi…
UN and Save the Children report a rise to 60,000+ births in Gaza across 2023–2024—directly contradicting the UNHRC’s blood libel that Israel 'targeted female reproduction' in an alleged genocide. Again, the opposite happened. 3/
🧵EIGHT new articles in Journal of Genocide Research pushing the Gaza genocide hoax—nothing new, all repetition. Distorted quotes to invent intent, fake stats, and endless “Zionism is genocide.” They cite each other in a closed loop that mimics scholarship but is not. Review: 1/
Most articles skip any analysis of Gaza war. Instead of evidence they claim Israel’s creation was genocide. Shalhoub Kevorkian writes that “Zionist consciousness” inscribes that “Palestinian bodies should always be in a state of death.” This is not research but a hate piece. 2/
After 18 pages Boulos finally reaches her point: that genocide in Gaza is “inherent in the logic of Zionist settler colonialism” and that of course Israel must be dismantled, with generous doses of Shaw, Bartov, Moses and Segal. It’s dull and repetitive. 3/
🧵"Expert" Raz Segal called Gaza a genocide on Oct 13, 2023 by fabricating intent, and his new piece repeats the deceit. He claims Netanyahu depicted "Palestinians" as Nazis but the source shows he referred only to Hamas. Segal also lies about Herzog’s comments. Detail below: 1/
Raz cites these words by Herzog as genocidal intent: “This war is a war that is not only between Israel and Hamas. It's a war that is intended really, truly, to save Western civilization.” Segal wildly falsifies the meaning of Herzog's Dec 2023 interview, as shown next. 2/
Herzog never said or "admitted" it was "a war that aimed not to defeat Hamas but to destroy a people” or making Gaza "Jewish"—he spoke of evacuating Gazan civilians, defeating Hamas and getting back hostages. See all Herzog's interview comments so the deceit is unmistakable. 3/
🧵British MP @timfarron pulls out the fake claim that 97% of Gaza's water is unfit for humans, effectively implying Gazans are dying of thirst. It's the aquifer that is 97% unusable. But 90% of Gaza's water now comes from many desal plants built with foreign funding. Detail: 1/
A 2023 NPR report on Gaza's water situation revealed the truth, confirmed in other reports. Private & public desal plants are providing Gazans with clean water, as well as Israeli piped water. Investment in Gaza's desal has been going on for well over a decade pre-war. 2/
In 2017, the EU funded a major desal plant in Deir al Balah that provides water to 275,000 people in Rafah and Khan Younes. While Hamas was using billions to build tunnels, Europe was funding Gaza's water needs. 3/ ochaopt.org/content/larges…
🧵In Feb 2025, the WHO said it vaccinated 603,000 Gazan children under age 10—which EXCEEDS the population in this age group pre-war. This fact easily disproves claims that Gaza fatalities are undercounted by some massive amount as many are claiming. Evidence below: 1/
