🧵CRITICAL GAZA CASUALTY FINDINGS: UN published 24,686 “identified” Gaza fatalities based on Hamas list of names and IDs. However 4,063 (16%) persons have missing, false or duplicate IDs. Some were even listed as killed in 2014! Detailed analysis of fake "identified" deaths: 1/
On May 5 Hamas “Ministry of Health” released 498 page PDF with 24,682 names (not 24,686) supposedly each person rigorously identified with valid IDs based on actual bodies as opposed to “unidentified” deaths which actually means bodies are missing too. 2/ t.me/MOHMediaGaza/5…
1693 claimed fatalities, which are supposed to be fully identified by name and ID according to the UN, are missing an ID number (at center). Just blank. Here is one sample (see p. 428). Without an ID they should of course be considered "unidentified" based on UN criteria. 3/
821 claimed fatalities have less than the required 9 digit ID number. Another 16 claimed deaths have 10 digits. For example, here is a group of claimed fatalities with preposterous nine consecutive numbers all with incorrect 8 digits (from p. 264). 4/
1522 claimed fatalities have invalid ID numbers proven by incorrect check digit. You can’t just make up any 9 digit ID, the final digit must follow a formula of first 8 digits. These invalid IDs thus appear faked. There are far too many to be just a few data entry errors. 5/
Here is an obvious example of faked ID numbers: 3 consecutively recorded deaths of people born five years apart with consecutive ID numbers (see p. 159). Falsification is proven since every set of first 8 digits can only have one 9th check digit. All three are wrong. 6/
Next, there are 9 duplicates in the list. Again, with these deaths supposedly identified body-by-body by Ministry of Health this is already too many errors. Here are two examples of duplicates from the same document, far right shows the row number. 7/
Final category: 2 deaths already reported in Gaza in 2014 are again reported as deaths today! See Palestinian WAFA website list of “martyrs” from 2014 war. Here are screenshots of 2 ID's from 2014 list of deaths and from 2024 list. They aged 10 years. 8/
Fakery of deaths has been evident from day one, even the so-called “identified” deaths the UN deems fit to certify shows 1 of every 6 claimed fatalities in error. That’s not a “margin of error” but deliberate falsification. @chrislindmeier Mr. Lindmeier, care to comment? END

🧵MSF survey of Gaza fatalities inadvertently reveals key data: 24% of all fatalities (~11,000) are natural, not war caused. Total deaths of 46,000 at Mar 2025 vs Hamas’ claim of 50,000. This shatters “studies” claiming far higher tolls; confirms inclusion of natural deaths. 1/
MSF reports a death rate of 0.41 per 10,000 per day in Gaza as of 3/26/25, thus totaling 46,000 fatalities since 10/7. And 76% are due to war injuries (~35,000), leaving 11,000 natural deaths—matching expected mortality (natural and infant) for this period. 2/
As of survey date, Hamas claims 50,144 deaths (see below from UN), not far off from MSF survey result. But Hamas has always claimed these were ALL war deaths, but yet in 2 years has never produced another list of “natural deaths” which based on history should be about 12,000. 3/
🧵IPC declared famine in Gaza 3 weeks ago. By their metrics we should have 4,300 starvation deaths since then and endless images of emaciated people. Instead Hamas/UN report just 135 such deaths in 21 days (also exaggerated). A 97% difference! IPC report was deliberate fraud. 1/
Most if not all "malnutrition deaths" in Gaza are people with serious other conditions, like cancer and children with cerebral palsy. They are not dying because there is literally no food available to give them. Like this man listed as a "malnutrition death." 2/
It’s crucial to distinguish deaths from literal lack of food vs deaths from diseases classified as malnutrition even when food is available. In the USA, 23,000 died of “malnutrition” in 2023, yet no one claims they were starved to death. See thread: 3/
🧵IAGS lost credibility after railroading a Gaza “genocide” resolution with no debate and allowing ANYONE to be a voting member. More important: resolution itself is false led by its president Melanie O’Brien who discarded scholarship to libel Israel. 1/
The resolution could not muster any credible evidence of "special intent" to genocide, recycling the fake "human animals" line as core evidence. This is just the tip of iceberg on this sham resolution that debases all the "scholars" who voted for it. 3/
➡️Update on my membership to the the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS):
Yesterday I joined the organization as a “genocide scholar,” paid my dues, and quickly realized I had started a trend. It turns out literally anyone can join this body and vote on matters that make international headlines—like the resolution claiming Israel is committing genocide.
A review of the ~600 membership list revealed that large numbers have no scholarly credentials at all. The group openly encourages “activists” and anyone interested to sign up. I found at least 80 members hailing from Iraq. Who voted for the Gaza genocide resolution? We don’t know—the ~100 votes were never disclosed. Could it have been dominated by this bloc? Hard to say.
But what happened next is telling: today the IAGS shut down its new membership page and, more importantly, removed its membership list from public view. Perhaps they no longer want the public to see who is really behind these votes, now that it’s been exposed.
Yes, there are some legitimate academics who are members. But when an organization with no standards, no transparency, and no accountability makes sweeping pronouncements about “genocide,” it isn’t scholarship—it’s politics masquerading as scholarship. And everyone deserves to know the difference. x.com/Aizenberg55/st…
Important article with comments by @DrSaraEBrown on the sham process by the IAGS. The moderator deleted dissenting listserv posts about the fake "Gaza genocide." jewishinsider.com/2025/09/intern…
@DrSaraEBrown Another interesting data point: Pre-10/7 the IAGS only had about 150 members. Suddenly they ballooned to 500+, recall this organization was formed in 1994.
📌I am now officially a “genocide scholar” as a member of the International Association of Genocide Scholars. I will uphold its mission to advance research & teaching on genocide and its prevention. See next link for my viral article exposing false claims of genocide in Gaza. 1/
I became a member too late to vote against the recent resolution calling Israel's action in Gaza a genocide (only 28% of total members voted yes). See my article below exposing the false claims:
I've been getting to know some of my fellow genocide scholars. Seems that Iraq is a center of knowledge in this field with 80 listed scholars of ~600 (13%). Remarkable, especially the Mahmood family with 5 scholars in the field. I wonder who voted for the Gaza resolution.
➡️IPC tested 15,700 kids for malnutrition in July and found 12%—below 15% famine threshold
😕Problematic. So what did they do?
➡️Use a smaller incomplete 7,100 sample showing 16%
✅Solved. Now UN can claim famine in Gaza!
Evidence & sources:
IPC used MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) of kids to assess starvation where 15%=famine. But instead of using full July dataset they dishonestly used a smaller incomplete sample of 7,127 kids. Table 18 of report shows 16.4% in Gaza Governorate—just enough to declare famine. 2/
On Aug 8, the State of Palestine Nutrition Cluster released a LARGER dataset of 15,749 kids—same Gaza sites, same methods—showing 12% malnutrition, below famine. You don’t need a PhD to know a sample twice the size is more reliable—and that ignoring it is academic fraud. 3/
