🧵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

🧵Analysis of incident when IDF’s Hagari pointed to calendar at Rantisi hospital apparently saying it showed Hamas names but it only listed weekdays. Incident is touted by anti-Israel mob as core “proof” that IDF lies. But Hagari's words were vague & clarified that same day. 1/
What really happened? What did Hagari say? On 11/13/23 Hagari, in a live unscripted tour of recent findings at Rantisi Hospital, filmed 6 mins of video (below) evidencing how hospital was used by Hamas, held hostages and was directly related to 10/7. 2/
Here is a transcript of Hagari’s words related to the list (at 5:30) and a detailed analysis which debunks the claim that Hagari “lied” trying to pass off a sheet that listed days of the week for names of terrorists. 3/
🧵Hamas lied about fatalities in the past and lies today. But media still says Hamas data was reliable in prior wars. This thread details how Hamas lied about fatalities in 2009 Gaza war, fake data was copied in UN report, Hamas then admitted lying & IDF was right all along. 1/
Operation Cast Lead occurred over 3 weeks from Dec 08-Jan 09. In March 2009 IDF released its official casualty numbers, claiming 1,166 total fatalities of which 709 were combatants plus possibly 162 more not fully identified. So at most 457 civilians, a very low 0.64:1 ratio. 2/
Hamas also released it’s casualty figures soon after the war ended claiming 1,300+ total fatalities and only 48 combatants. This was widely reported in world media as an official Hamas statement by a senior official at the time, Abu Obeida (still active as spokesperson). 3/
🧵IDF’s claim that it killed 17,000 combatants in Gaza is highly credible; this thread outlines 10 items supporting this claim. Hamas' claim of 42,000 fatalities is accepted as accurate, but IDF data is ignored because it shatters the preferred narrative. Detailed evidence: 1/
IDF has carefully reported these numbers over time based on field reports & various sources of intelligence. 10,000 of the 17,000 have been identified by name, which is a large number in midst of war. Simply claiming IDF is lying without evidence of fabrication is baseless. 2/
Highly regarded @TheStudyofWar corroborated defeat of Hamas: only 3 of 24 brigades not classified as “defeated”; only small groups remain; “severely degraded tunnel network”; 50%-75% casualty rate in Khan Younes. All supports 40%+ Hamas/PIJ killed. 3/ understandingwar.org/backgrounder/i…
🧵Ta-Nehisi Coates The Message analysis Part II: Coates engages in obsessive denial of Jewish history (a “fairy tale”) and Holocaust inversion. Plus more lies, misrepresentations & omissions. A fantasy narrative where evil Jews are everywhere, even a hotel lobby. Detail: 1/
To Coates, archeology in Israel is nefarious, not genuine science but agenda driven, untrustworthy “Zionist archeology.” Coates engages in Jewish history denialism as if ancient Jewish roots in the Holy Land are not fact – it’s a “desperate need” to prove "Jewish nationhood." 2/
Coates’ Jewish history denialism is confirmed by his constant harping on this topic, that City of David site “felt so fake” and that Eretz Israel was the “ostensible homecoming of an ancient people.” In fact, to Coates Jewish history is a “fairy tale and an enormous con.” 3/
🧵Te-Nehisi Coates The Message is an anti-Israel, antisemitic screed filled with lies, misrepresentations & omissions (especially). He calls Israel the most evil nation on earth. His academic fraudulence is only exceeded by his vicious hate for Israel. Detailed analysis: 1/
Coates’ first sentence deliberately reflects his hope & dream: no Jewish state. He makes clear he believes there is only one legitimate people with rights in the Holy Land – Palestinians. He disgustingly says Holocaust center Yad Vashem is based in Palestine. Tone firmly set. 2/
Coates lies & misrepresents often, on every page. First of a small sample of examples: he falsely claims the Temple Mount run by the “occupying power” is unfair, as “Israelis regularly tour Al-Aqsa” while “Palestinians are barred from the Western Wall.” 3/
🧵The assertion that Israel has no right of self defense against Hamas within Gaza because it is "occupied" is false (as often stated by @mehdirhasan). Inane claim is based on ICJ advisory opinion – but a key clause in this same document says the opposite! Analysis: 1/
First, notion that Gaza is occupied is baseless and relies on fabricated int'l law applied to Israel alone. But for this discussion let's assume Gaza is in fact occupied. With this in hand people next look to an Int'l Court of Justice (ICJ) Advisory Opinion from 2004. 2/
ICJ opinion is: "Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory" about separation barrier. Importantly it is an advisory opinion, not codified int'l law. So it's not actual law, but let's again accept it is. 3/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_Con…
