Over the past 12 hours, numerous activists, journalists, news channels, organizations, and government officials have spread a plethora of misinformation.
This thread will cover all of the misinformation I personally verified.

Overview of the misinformation spread:Image
Note: During a dramatic turn of events, people are likely to make a mistake. However, due to how easy it was to verify the majority of these posts being unrelated to the retaliatory strikes; it indicates a disregard for factual reporting.
Post 1: This image that was spread online was from 2021 - Unrelated.

Post 2: This video that was spread online was uploaded to Tiktok in September 23, 2023 - Not related.

There are several more photos and videos debunked by other fact-checkers. I encourage them to add their in findings in the comments.
Additionally: There were far more people who spread these images than were showcased here - but some deleted their posts before I could take a screenshot.
Reminder: Always be cautious of photos and videos spread online - especially during a crisis

(I'll add an example of the videos showcased under each post in case you can't recognize the accompanying screenshots)
If you would like a source for any of these debunked claims - Feel free to ask.

Genocide has been used to label the actions taken by the IDF and several Palestinian militant groups. As a result, heated discussions have arisen as to whether those acts truly constitute a "Genocide".
This overview seeks to provide a legal definition of the word "Genocide":Image
Disclaimer: This review doesn't evaluate the actions of either group, and whether they indeed constitute an act of genocide. Instead, it is meant to provide you with the legal framework of the crime under International Law - How you use this information is up to you.
The current mainstream discussion is whether to have the ICC prosecute the State of Israel for violating the Geneva Convention.
What is the Geneva Convention?
Note: This thread will not review the legality of prosecuting the State of Israel or the ICJs jurisdiction

The focus is currently on Gaza, with Hamas as the leading Palestinian militant faction; but the West Bank was the focal point of violence until October 7th.
Historic Overview: The Rise of Palestinian Militancy in the West Bank:Image
Notice: I previously wrote a thread to dismiss the claims that "There is no Hamas in the West Bank". That can be found in the following thread.
I have also previously written about the 10 most active Palestinian militant groups in the West Bank, Gaza, and Lebanon - Found here (Corrections in replies).
This thread will focus on the network of Palestinian militancy currently active in the West Bank and their history.

The discourse around "Terrorism" and its meaning is marred with controversy and politicization.
But why?
Analysis: The Complex History of Defining Terrorism and its Victims - The InnocentImage
This analysis is based on a lecture I gave in February, which you can find on the @thesulha YouTube channel. This analysis will expand on that lecture; with updated/corrected details and a different focus.
Notice: Please read the entire thread before commenting.
Let's Begin: Image
The most common quote inserted into any discourse that mentions terrorism is "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter".
This doesn't make sense, as those deemed terrorists are seen as monsters, while freedom fighters are heroes. How can both terms exist in unison? Image

I've seen this news report by countless online commentators; saying that the soldier who dedicated the destruction of a building in Gaza to his daughter - Was then killed by Hamas.
This is wrong.
An Analysis:Image
I am unsure where this rumor began, but they all showcase the following photos of IDF soldiers killed in Gaza, alleging that they were in the video.
Neither one of these soldiers is the same soldier in the video - but how can we know? Image
The most obvious piece of evidence is the names. According to the original uploader of the video (@danielamram3), the name of the soldier in the video is Moshe Grunberg, who is serving in the 271st Battalion of Combat Engineering
This doesn't match the names of the KIA soldiers Image

This isn't a "little girl", it's an unarmed female IDF soldier who was executed by Al-Qassam (Hamas) on an IDF military base during the attack on October 7th.
Videos from their bodycams of the attack:

A common misconception I've seen is that Jews only began to emigrate to Mandatory Palestine after 1945, with the end of the Holocaust.
This is false and creates a distorted picture of Jewish presence in the land.
A Historic Overview:
Image
Clarification: This thread isn't discussing the legitimacy of how Israel was established but is solely focused on presenting a factual picture of Jewish presence in the land.
First - Terminology: As described by most religious Jews, the "Land of Israel" (This is different than the "Promised Land") refers to the land held by ancient Israelites (The 12 tribes) which roughly looks like this: Image
