This will be a first raw 🧵 to unravel the Hamas accusations of IDF troops firing at and killing civilians during a recent aid mission in to Northern Gaza. I’ve never put together a thread like this so hopefully it will work.

On the 29th of February, Al Jazeera (aka HTN or Hamas Television Network) reported on what they and the Hamas Ministry called a massacre that took place in Northern Gaza as a convoy of aid trucks went in from Egypt.

With many previous convoys being hit by Hamas where aid was forcefully looted and stolen by armed terrorists (anyone can feel free to add to this thread with the many videos showing Hamas attacking aid trucks), it was claimed by Gazans that gunfire was indeed heard as the aid convoy entered the North. What was not confirmed was who was behind the gunfire.

Two days ago I analyzed a video and showed evidence clearly seen in the video that Hamas terrorists armed with AK47s were firing at civilians and stealing the aid by looting the trucks and beating civilians who tried to take food aid.

The IDF have given a few statements about the incident, stating that their troops did NOT open fire on the aid convoy. They stated that at a later point further north, a group of civilians approached the IDF and the troops fired warning shots in the air.

The BBC reported in their BBC Verified article that they based their findings mostly off the Al Jazeera footage and testimony report (surprise surprise). So basically they may as well have just taken a statement directly from Hamas. In fact, all the mainstream media that covered this story (and there weren’t that many, published their articles based on the Al Jazeera story.

As you will see in the article by the BBC here, they use the Al Jazeera story and reference it frequently. The BBC clearly states that their verification is also based on witness testimony, so the following parts of this thread will look at these in more depth.



I will add the full Al Jazeera video report, which I will breakdown in this thread, at the end of the thread so everybody can reference each point. This Al Jazeera report, as I will show, makes up the single predominant source for all other MSM worldwide covering this incident.bbc.com/news/world-mid…

Like the BBC, most other MSM sites used the Al Jazeera report as their sole or main source for their own reporting. CNN, CBS, SKY, and even Reuters make reference to the same video and stating that they themselves could not verify it.

Over the past few months, there have been dozens of reports of Hamas firing at and killing their own people, as well as looting aid trucks and stealing the aid, both for their own use as well as to sell at exorbitant prices.

Here is one example of Hamas firing at their own civilians

Here are a few examples many have already seen of Hamas looting aid trucks and stealing aid.

Now let’s examine some of the testimony from the Gazans as per the Al Jazeera video report.

At around 00:52 in the video, the anchor makes the claim that the IDF shot and killed the civilians before it cuts to the first witness. This witness states that the IDF opened fire on the civilians with “tanks and war planes”. Now this is key to unraveling the truth of what really happened because it’s a claim stated by all the witnesses.

A second witness in this Al Jazeera story is featured at 02:27. He too claims that there was “sniper fire, tanks shelling, and drones”.

One of the most telling testimonies features at 03:03 in this video. It’s from a doctor at the Al Shifa Hospital.

Now for those who will remember, there was another hospital, Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, where Hamas and Al Jazeera claimed another “massacre” had occurred 4 months ago where the IDF was alleged to have launched air strikes at the hospital killing 500 people. That claim sent shockwaves around the world and was broadcast on BBC and other mainstream media as “verified”. However as we all now know, this was a fabricated story and was in fact a misfired rocket launched from nearby the hospital by PIJ which hit a parking lot and killed 20.

But just listen to this interview by the doctor. Within the first 10 seconds he immediately references the incident 4 months ago and still claims it was an IDF air strike and that 500 were killed (you can see the theme here by now)

All 3 video clips are attached here.

Now aside from the “credible witnesses”, another major feature you’ll find in abundance in this Al Jazeera video is… Pallywood. That’s right, our favorite “dead come to life then dead again” Gazans we’ve seen exposed over the last 3 days all claimed their fame from this Al Jazeera video.

#Pallywood

Also I’m sure everybody remembers that just two weeks ago, the United Nations claimed that the Israeli Navy had hit an aid convoy with mortar shells, and the only image shown as “evidence” was a single truck stopped on the side of the road with a small section of its canvas ripped and torn and aid lay on the side of the road. No burn marks on the truck or canvas whatsoever.

Now having gone through dozens of articles. I came across one that mentioned testimony from the truck drivers of these convoys, usually Egyptian drivers. And here is one I found that is relevant and interesting in its description. This was reported by French Media France 24.

Furthermore, here is a video as well with testimony from the Egyptian drivers about how the civilians attacked their convoy.Image

Now going back to the testimony by civilians stating that IDF tanks and war planes opened fire on civilians, it’s important to note what tanks or armored vehicles opening fire really means. IDF tanks, mainly Merkava 4 and 5 tanks, have the main 120mm gun, a 60mm anti aircraft gun, two .50 caliber Browning M2 automatic machine guns and two 762 MAG automatic machine guns. To truly understand what this firepower would do to a human body, let’s examine this carefully. Here is a video of actual footage of allied forces firing a Browning M2 at an Isis terrorist in a real conflict zone. You will see how the sheer power of this gun lifts the body of the terrorist off the ground and rips his body to pieces, as well as destroys the walls of the building.

🚨🚨WARNING🚨🚨
EXTREMELY GRAPHIC AND SENSITIVE FOOTAGE
10/

When one just runs a search for videos on YouTube of what a .50 caliber rifle can do to a ballistic torso, and similarly the high power 762, you’d see that there wouldn’t be carts carrying injured people or dead with small bullet holes, but rather just whatever remains of limbs and chunks of meat. Reports claim dozens of people were shot in the head by these weapons… so it’s important to note that the munitions used in the smaller caliber weapons create a small hole on entry, but a fist sized hole as the bullet exists. The fire was allegedly done at close range, which would have dismembered bodies.

Snipers usually use 0.50 rifles, which would just rip half a head off, if not worse.

Then when we look at war planes, the larger UAVs carry 0.50 caliber rifles, sometimes even 60mm, which would rip bodies apart. Some reports claimed gunfire came from fighter jets. These planes use 20mm explosive rounds that would leave no bodies left to collect.

Lastly, witnesses such as one further up this thread claimed tanks “shelled” civilians. So I’ve added a video of tank shells hitting a ballistic torso simply so everyone understands how ridiculous these claims are.



All the above simply make it implausible that the IDF opened fire with tanks or planes as claimed by witnesses. And it’s important to note that these were the testimonies used by Al Jazeera and the BBC and others as “evidence”.
11/

The final piece I’ll add is enormously important and telling, and yet equally surprising. In the most recent press Q&A by the UN, the UN refused to assign blame or point a finger at Israel for this incident. The spokesman openly stated that the UN was NOT there to witness anything and so refused to simply take the word of Hamas. That in itself is a huge thing, especially since the UN and Hamas have pretty much been synonymous with one another throughout.

Here’s the video

12/

And to end, here is the full Al Jazeera video report that was used to spark almost every anti Israel protest reaction because of this incident around the world.

Based on all the evidence and testimony from the Palestinian side and the IDF, if one was to be objective, it is the IDF version of events that are not only most plausible, but also match up with the actual evidence known. There is simply too much that is clearly fabricated from the Hamas side.

🧵🧵🧵

In July of 2006, the brilliant Thomas Sowell @ThomasSowell wrote an article titled “There is no Middle East 'peace process'”. It is as relevant today as it was 19 years ago because the similarities are so striking. So I thought I’d post it here:

Now that Israel has responded to rocket attacks and the abduction of its soldiers by terrorists by making military strikes into areas controlled by those terrorists, much of our media are deploring another "cycle of violence" in the Middle East. For reasons unknown, some people seem to regard verbal equivalence as moral equivalence — and the latter as some kind of badge of broadmindedness, if not intellectual superiority. Therefore, when Palestinian terrorists ("militants" in politically correct newspeak) attack Israel and then Israel responds with military force, that is just another "cycle of violence" in the Middle East to some people. The "cycle" notion suggests that each side is just responding to what the other side does. But just what had Israel done to set off these latest terrorist acts? It voluntarily pulled out of Gaza, after evacuating its own settlers, and left the land to the Palestinian authorities.Image
2/

Terrorists then used the newly acquired land to launch rockets into Israel and then seized an Israeli soldier. Other terrorists in Lebanon followed suit. The great mantra of the past, "trading land for peace," is now thoroughly discredited, or should be. But facts mean nothing to people who are determined to find equivalence, whether today in the Middle East or yesterday in the Cold War. Since all things are the same, except for the differences, and different except for the similarities, nothing is easier than to create verbal parallels and moral equivalence, though some people seem to pride themselves on their ability to do such verbal tricks. Centuries ago, Thomas Hobbes said that words are wise men's counters but that they are the money of fools. Regardless of fashionable rhetoric, there is no Middle East "peace process" any more than trading "land for peace" has been a viable option. Nor is a Palestinian "homeland" a key to peace.
3/

During all the years when Arab countries controlled the land now proposed for a Palestinian homeland, there was no talk about any such homeland. Only after Israel took control of that territory as a result of the 1967 war was it suddenly sacred as a Palestinian homeland. There is no concession that will bring lasting peace to the Middle East, because the terrorists and their supporters are not going to be satisfied by concessions. The only thing that will satisfy them is the destruction of Israel. Pending that, they will inflict as much destruction and bloodshed on the Israelis as they can get away with at any given time.

Part 3 - A🧵about the records held showing the migration of Arabs and non Arabs to both Jordan and what Arabs call Palestine over the past 1000 years of Islamic rule, again proving that the people in that land, other than the Jewish people, are NOT indigenous. (Part two is attached to this slide)

The main twist will come in slide 7 of this thread, and it will reveal a far more interesting and sinister history and story of what is going on.

If you want to understand who is really behind keeping the “Palestine” narrative alive as a weapon against Israel and the Jewish people, you’ll find out in this thread. To make Islam the dominant and only religion, they need to destroy Judaism and Christianity in the West, as well as Hinduism in the East.

Again, huge credit to my wonderful tag team partner @IbnAlwarraq for his exceptional research and discovery.

In a book written in 2020 called “Noble Families in Jordan and Palestine: A Look at the Legal Records”, and authored by Jordanian author Omar Ahmed Al-Zoubi, the author provides numerous actual documents and records of some of the Noble families that migrated to the region from Arabia and other Arab lands.

Below are two different original covers of the same book. This book is widely available online today.Image

3/

So let’s begin with the actual opening page of the book:

“Introduction

The Jordan and Palestine region is considered a strategic region due to its location separating the ancient trade routes in addition to being rich in religious sites for different religions, which made many races and ethnicities flock to it over thousands of years, and this is evidenced by the large amount of demographic diversity in it.

After the conquest and over more than a thousand years of Islamic rule in this country, the migration movement of Arab and non-Arab tribes was very active, as many of the Companions, may God be pleased with them all, settled there, and their graves are still spread across the lands of this country, and most of them reproduced and their descendants multiplied in it, and history also recorded the migrations of many Qaisite, Yemeni, Kurdish, Turkmen and other tribes.”

A 🧵 about how the parallels between everything we’re seeing around us, and how it relates to historical events:

I’m going to start this thread with a statement…

The World will thank Donald Trump @realDonaldTrump @POTUS for what he is doing today.

When one studies the history and events of World War Two and how the Nazis operated, you can quickly begin to see how events of today are actually connected in many ways.

We’ve all heard about Joseph Goebbels and his infamous propaganda machine and how it indoctrinated the children of Germany. The entire curriculum of German schools was designed to teach children what to think rather than the usual math, science and languages.
3/

In December of 2023, I wrote and posted a thread that highlighted how the Nazis once only thought to have fled to South America actually also fled and found sanctuary across the entire Middle East. I spoke widely about the alliance between the Nazis and the Arab nationalists of the Levant, and the close ties between Amin al-Husseini and Hitler.

But just how far did that alliance go? And how long did it last after Hitler and Husseini died?

A follow-up 🧵 about the true origins of the “Palestinians” that finally settles the debate and puts to bed all the garbage propaganda.

This will really blow you away. It’s explosive. Especially the last paragraph of slide 5 talking about Baedeker’s book.

Once again, all credit for this incredible find to my wonderful friend and tag team partner, @IbnAlwarraq who is just amazing l.

So here goes…

Again I’ll start with the English translation:

“Through a study conducted by Dr. Abdul Karim Rafeq from the Ottoman records (the records of the Gaza Sharia Court for the period extending from 1857 to 1861), he concluded the following facts:

First: The Egyptians did not settle in one place or have a special quarter in Gaza.
They were present in the places of Zeitoon, Barjaliyya, and Sajaiya, and owned property there. This is regarding the city of Gaza. As for the countryside of Gaza, the Egyptians inhabited the villages of Zarnuqa, Khan Yunis, Deir al-Balah, Yibna, and Julis, and the Egyptians residing in these villages were referred to in the records of the Ottoman state as being among its residents.”
3/

“Second: is that the group that surpassed all other foreign residents in number and stability that they brought from their original country to Gaza and its countryside, their participation in various economic activities, and their dissemination of many terms, are the EGYPTIANS. There is no wonder in that, given the proximity of the Gaza Strip to Egyptian lands, and the ongoing political, economic, and demographic relationship between the two regions.”

A🧵about the true origins of the “Palestinians”

H/T lead researcher @IbnAlwarraq

A lot has been claimed about who the so called Palestinians are. History, as in factual history, tells us that they are mostly Egyptian in origin, and not even that long ago.

The propagandists have manufactured this mythology that takes so many origin stories that it’s difficult to know where to begin. Some claim they are the descendants of the extinct Philistines. Others go even further back to the Canaanites.
2/

Now imagine there were books, many books in fact, non fiction books, all written by Egyptians and Arabs themselves that detail the answers to the million dollar question.

Well I’m going to detail one such book for you right here, and it is very explicit in what it tells us.
3/

The book, interestingly, is titled "Jordanian and Palestinian families of Egyptian origin" - written by Hassan Sharif Abu Lamthi in 2012
