This came after 15yrs of an Israeli-led, Egyptian supported siege on Gaza, making the place "unlivable" already in 2020, according to the @UN. Note as well that imposing a blockade is act of war. The origins of the current war can be traced to June '07

Israel has invaded Gaza 3 times in the past 68yrs (1956, 1967 & 2023) w/ the intention of imposing a military occupation over Gaza.

In all 3 cases, within weeks of the war's end, the Israeli government tried to find a way to ethnically cleanse its Palestinian inhabitants. A 🧵
In 1956, Israel invaded Gaza. PM David Ben-Gurion setup a committee to consider proposals for depopulating Gaza of its refugees.

Source: N. Masalha, "The 1956–57 occupation of the Gaza strip: Israeli proposals to resettle the Palestinian refugees." BJMES 23.1 (1996): 55-68. Image
In 1967, Israel occupied Gaza. Days later, on 18–19 June 1967, the Israeli cabinet adopted this decision:

"...[the Gaza Strip] would be annexed to Israel once the number of refugees there was significantly reduced by transfer to other locations of countries."

A brief history of Israel's Gaza resettlement policy, 1967-1970. 🧵
On 18–19 June 1967, the Israeli government adopted this decision:

"...[the Gaza Strip] would be annexed to Israel once the number of refugees there was significantly reduced by transfer to other locations of countries."

Source: Golan. 2019. Deception & Israeli Peacemaking since 1967. Israel Studies Review, 34(1): 4Image
From 1967-1970, Israel's executed on this cabinet decision. Israel created a secret resettlement agency. The goal was to find Arabs who would accept a one-way ticket to Paraguay, Brazil or Libya.

The plan remained a secret until November 1987.

Why is the US Congress so supportive of Israel's plausible genocide?

A lobbying organization (@AIPAC) w/ $100M to spend on pro-genocide candidates & no guardrails b/c of broken campaign finance law.

A short 🧵.
AIPAC offered $20 million to Hill Harper to run against against Rep. Tlaib in the Democratic primary. He said no.

AIPAC offered $20 million to Nasser Beydoun to run against against Rep. Tlaib in the Democratic primary. He said no.

AIPAC failed w/Tlaib.
Image
Image
But AIPAC succeeded w/George Latimer, who they convinced to run against Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y.

No reporting on how much $$ they promised Latimer.

AIPAC's strategy: fabricate links b/w Bowman & Hamas (while being directly linked to a government carrying out genocidal acts). Image

A brief history of Israel’s 33-year long policy of starving Gaza. A 🧵
It’s been 5 weeks since @hrw said Israel was starving Palestinians “as a weapon of war.” 5 weeks since the @UN said >1 in 4 people in Gaza are starving; 5 weeks since the @WHO said the risk of famine is “increasing each day;” hrs since the @UN said “everyone in Gaza is hungry”

The famine unfolding before our eyes did not begin 3 months ago. It began 33yrs ago, when, in Jan 1991, Israel required all Palestinians in Gaza to obtain permits to enter Israel. Overnight, Israel threatened the livelihoods of 40% of Gaza, then employed in Israel. Source: Image

A brief history of Israel’s search for “non-hostile” Palestinian subcontractors, a 🧵
On Jan 4, 2024, Israeli Defense Minister Gallant published a 3-page document called the “Day After.” The day after the war ends in Gaza, “Palestinian bodies will be in charge,” with one condition. The Palestinian “entity controlling the territory” would be a “non-hostile actor.” Image
Gallant is looking for non-hostile Palestinian subcontractors in Gaza.

After having survived a genocide, their role will be to ensure the millions of other genocide survivors in Gaza do not show any hostility towards the genocide’s perpetrators. What could possibly go wrong?

A brief history of how mainstream media in the US has erased Palestinians, a 🧵.
A Jan 9, 2024 open-source study published by the @theintercept found that @nytimes, @washingtonpost, & @latimes “disproportionately emphasized Israeli deaths in the conflict; used emotive language to describe the killings of Israelis, but not Palestinians; & offered lopsided coverage of antisemitic acts in the U.S., while largely ignoring anti-Muslim racism in the wake of October 7." source: theintercept.com/2024/01/09/new…
Maha Nassar (@mtnassar) examined thousands of articles published from 1970 to 2019 in @nytimes, @washingtonpost, @thenation & @newrepublic. For the New York Times, less than 2% of the 2,490 opinion pieces that discussed Palestinians since 1970 were written by Palestinians. In the Washington Post, the average was 1%, while the New Republic did not publish a single article about Palestinians written by a Palestinian. Source: 972mag.com/us-media-pales…Image
