🧵Starvation & famine in Gaza is a lie (Part 3): UNRWA confirms entry of 11,360 food trucks matching COGAT numbers. UN WFP confirms busy food markets in Gaza even publishing food prices! UN's own data contradicts “intentional starvation” and famine. See sources & analysis: 1/9
COGAT published on March 22 a chart showing food trucks entering Gaza since start of war at 11,065 matching UNRWA's 11,360. Israel is not lying as often claimed. Tons of food since 10/7 is double the amount the UN WFP itself says is necessary to meet basic needs of Gazans. 2/
UNRWA website shows daily data for trucks entering Gaza, number of pallets, food (cheese, butter, corn, flour etc.) Small sample below; excel file has 136 rows of 2,733 pallets for one day. UN itself confirms widespread entry of all manner of food. 3/ tinyurl.com/46f5demj
This is just recent right? Only after world forced Israel to let in more food? No. Daily data for months shows more trucks into Gaza daily since 10/7 than pre-war. Here is sample data for Jan 31 (out of 161 rows of 3,333 pallets). Despite UN’s own data, famine lie continues. 4/
But no one can get food, right? Wrong. UN WFP actually issued a report in March showing the prices of food in Gaza. Food for sale – meaning it’s not a famine. WFP has been saying a famine is “imminent” for 5 months, now said supposed to happen by May. 5/ wfp.org/publications/2…
It should all be free and probably lots is, but Hamas & others steal aid and sell it. UN WFP says 1 Kg of potatoes goes for $2 and 50 Kg of flour for $50. Prices are dropping, see video. But lie continues that Israel is intentionally starving Gazans. 6/
So UNRWA confirms Israel’s stated numbers of food trucks; WFP’s own data confirms Israel has allowed in 2x food it says Gazans need since 10/7; WFP issues a price list for food markets. What else? Actual video evidence. See below. 7/
Here is earlier Part 1 thread evidencing that starvation & famine in Gaza is a lie, by showing that based on UN WFP’s own statistics, Israel has provided 2x the food necessary for Gaza since 10/7 and 5x recently. 8/
Here is earlier Part 2 thread evidencing that starvation & famine in Gaza is a lie, by showing that UN WFP’s own report admits famine is not present and only imminent by May in north & July in south. It has been imminent for months! END
🧵Arafat rejected the Clinton Parameters exactly 24 years ago in January 2001, rejecting statehood that would have ended the conflict. Every life lost since is due to Arafat saying no. Recent statements by Clinton affirms this history. Full details of offer and rejection: 1/
Overview: Following failed Camp David summit in Summer of 2000 and Arafat’s launch of 2nd Intifada, Clinton dictated a final set of peace terms in Dec 2000 (very brief summary below), well beyond offer at Camp David, and asked each side to say yes “within the Parameters.” 2/
Israeli PM Ehud Barak and his team accepted the terms “within the Parameters.” Revisionists claim this is not true, but Clinton, Saudi Prince Bandar & key American negotiators and released documents have corroborated Israel’s acceptance. See from Clinton & Dennis Ross below: 3/
🧵Ireland filed document at ICJ on Dec 20 outlining how it wants definition of genocide changed, as it admitted on Dec 11 it would do. Filing effectively proves claims of genocide against Israel at ICJ and by NGOs like Amnesty are invalid. Analysis of changes Ireland wants: 1/
Ireland’s tactic is to join the Rhoyinga genocide case (The Gambia v Myanmar), ask the ICJ here for definitional changes, mainly in how “special intent” or dolus specialis for genocide is defined and join South Africa case v Israel with new definition to use against Israel. 2/
Ireland never cared to join case vs Myanmar filed five years ago in Nov 2019. If Rhoyingas were of high concern why wait until now? Of course Ireland's sudden interest is hatred for Israel. But genocide's definition does not work for Israel, so they want to change it now. 3/
🧵With 500K+ views this fake list of "Zionist arguments" requires a full debunking. Every point Shehada makes is a lie, misrepresentation, strawman, and fake history (lots of it). Detailed thread below: 1/
1. The very first claim is a lie. That “Zionist arguments” argue “we were here first.” No “Zionist” claims Jews were the first human beings in the area, this is a strawman argument fabricated by Shehada. Instead, the fact (not an "argument") is that Jews originated in the region with a 3,000 year unbroken history that included independent kingdoms. That Jewish history in the region predates Arab and Muslim history.
2. Shehada says "many" Palestinians have Canaanite DNA. The DNA of Caananites, according to research, can be found in both Jewish and Arab populations in the region, even more so in Lebanon and Jordan. (english.tau.ac.il/news/canaanites) There have not been any Caananites on earth for some 3,000 years and there is no specific or direct connection of Caananites to Palestinians or Jews or anyone else. No human on earth today can claim a direct lineage or identity to Caananites. Palestinians sometimes claim to be direct descendants of Caananites in a feeble attempt to "predate" Jews who trace back 3,000 years.
🧵Report by @Mr_Andrew_Fox debunking Hamas fatality data has been predictably attacked by Hamas defense attorneys who can't accept a group that did 10/7, kidnaps babies & rapes hostages would lie. Review of criticism and why report remains accurate: 1/ henryjacksonsociety.org/publications/q…
First, critics claim, ad nauseam, that Hamas Ministry of Health (MoH) data has been reliable in the past so it's credible today. False, as HJS report and thread below prove. Hamas vastly overstated civilian deaths in prior wars like they are now. 2/
Many react to report's key chart showing male overrepresentation in fatalities with “so what, it's known men die in wars more then women”—thereby admitting the narrative of IDF targeting women & children is false and admitting fatality list probably has many male combatants. 3/
🧵Libelous new @Airwars analysis on Israel bombing of Gaza in Oct 2023 assumes all deaths are civilian unless proven otherwise. This crazy assumption leads to their conclusion that of 606 IDF airstrikes only 32 combatants died versus 5,139 civilians or 99.4%. Analysis: 1/
According to Airwars, IDF invested millions of dollars sending up F35 & F16s, huge air force resources on 606 bombing attacks but could not kill even ONE combatant in 96% of these sorties, but did kill 8 civilians/strike. Are we supposed to take this Airwars report seriously? 2/
Fatal flaw is the "lack of information bias": Airwars does not know which males age >13 was civilian vs combatant as it does not have master list of 40,000 Hamas/PIJ militants. Airwars also does not know how many combatant deaths were omitted from any casualty list by Hamas. 3/
🧵Why does Ireland want ICJ to “broaden its interpretation” of genocide as legally defined? Why did Amnesty find law “cramped” and change it? Because ICJ 2015 ruling in Croatia case clearly proves no genocide in Gaza. Here is review of case. Worth a read to really understand: 1/
Core issue is the very high bar ICJ required to prove “special intent” under the Genocide Convention. For acts by an accused party to be genocide the “ONLY reasonable conclusion to be drawn” from those acts is to kill the group. A strict hurdle that requires hard evidence. 2/
ICJ ruling notes that Croatia argues that Serbia’s crimes are in fact such that the “ONLY reasonable inference to be drawn is that Serb leaders were motivated by genocidal intent.” But if ICJ accepts that Serbia had other specific aims, then this hurdle of intent is not met. 3/
