🚨Debunking the false claim that Abdallah Aljamal kept an Israeli hostage in his home:
1- Abdallah lived in an apartment in a multi-storey building. No connection was ever provided by the IDF between him & the hostage.
2- The building where Abdallah lived was one of 7 homes reportedly raided by the IDF on June 8. Hostages were held in only 2 of these buildings, not yet clear which. The other homes belong to the families Matar, Salihia, Ayish, Jodeh, al-Habash.
3- Undercover IDF soldiers pretended to have rented an apartment in the building where Noa Argamani was held (see Israeli source below), which shows it was a multi-storey apartment building where residents in one apartment don't necessarily know what happens in another. It's not even clear if the talk here is about Abdallah's building.
4- Abdallah, his wife & dad were all shot dead by the IDF in front of their children who were wounded or escaped before the building was bombed. The family insists they saw no militants or hostages, only IDF soldiers.
🚨Israel is RAPING kidnapped Gazans in the Sde Teiman prison camp
A Gazan died after penetration by an electric stick
A female IDF officer ordered the rape of a senior Gazan nurse
A UN worker forced to sit on a "hot metal stick"
This is the 4th report of IDF rape this year🧵
2\ Last April, Haaretz documented this testimony of rape
"They were led to the kitchen, where they were stripped & forced to lie one on top of the other.... They were beaten with clubs & spat on. A guard then started to stuff carrots into the anus of Abu Halil & other prisoners"
3\ In Feb, UN experts reported at least two cases of Gazan women being kidnapped by the IDF & raped in detention.
The report didn't receive any significant mainstream media coverage & passed unnoticed. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
Hamas doesn't stand to lose much, but Israel might lose dearly
Palestinian reconciliation might get even more difficult
Hamas recently pledged to cooperate with the ICC investigation, Israel rejected it out of hand as "antisemitic"
2\ Netanyahu won't be able to step a foot on any of the 124 countries in Green, including the EU. Israeli ministers & IDF general would fear going to any of these countries in case of surprise arrest warrants.
The reputational damage to Israel could lead to halting arm deals, boycotts, declining foreign investments...
World leaders won't be eager to meet & be pictured with a guy accused of crimes against humanity.
Pressure can be increased on Israel's Western patrons to act.
3\ Hamas, however, is already isolated & sanctioned by the entire West
The 3 leaders targeted by the ICC prosecutor NEVER travel to an ICC member state (or are never allowed to in the 1st place)
Daif never steps a food outside Gaza. Sinwar barely traveled to Egypt a couple of times
Haniya only ever travelled to countries that are non-members of the ICC or didn't ratify the Rome Statute (e.g. Iran, Russia, Qatar, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Malaysia, Oman, Morrocco)
A🧵debunking Israel's talking points on Rafah through the words of top *Israeli* generals & leaders on why the invasion:
Will NOT defeat Hamas
May cost the lives of all hostages
Is NOT necessary
& that Hamas is "still alive & kicking" in every city the IDF invaded & destroyed...
2\ Israel's own (under)estimates is that there's still 5,000 armed Hamas militants in Northern Gaza after 210 days
IDF General (res.) Israel Ziv admits Hamas is "still alive & kicking" in northern Gaza after everything Israel did there, including destroying & damaging over 70% of all homes!
🚨Israel is RAPING & sexually assaulting Palestinian detainees:
"They were led to the kitchen, where they were stripped & forced to lie one on top of the other.... They were beaten with clubs & spat on. A guard then started to stuff carrots into the anus of Abu Halil & other prisoners."
2\ Israel's sexual abuse of those detainees that spoke up was a routine: "Again they were stripped. This time they were kicked in the testicles. The guards would lunge at them & kick, lunge & kick, again & again. Nonstop brutality for 25 minutes. 'We are Bruce Lee,' the guards proclaimed. They shook them & shoved them around like balls from one corner of the room to the other, then moved them to their new cells in Block 6."
3\ Most Palestinian victims of Israeli sexual abuse would never speak up about their trauma out of fear of Israel arbitrarily detaining or killing them in revenge, as well as the social stigma & shame it brings
🚨Harrowing evidence revealed of Israel's execution of Gazans at the Nasser hospital mass grave 🧵
These 2 bodies were both shot in the head, both hand-tied.
Multiple discovered bodies were zip-tied, some both arms & legs. Some buried in patient gowns, including children.
2\ Multiple bodies discovered at the Nasser hospital mass grave had their arms tied with zip-ties or duck tape.
Many bodies were buried at a 3 meter depth to accelerate decomposition.
3\ At the mass grave, bodies of patients were discovered, buried in their hospital gowns & tied
The body to the right belongs to a girl whose leg was amputated after being wounded in an Israeli airstrike. Her family says she was still alive at the hospital when Israel raided it.
Israel lies pathologically!
A🧵of dozens of conclusively debunked Israeli gov lies since Oct 7, off the top of my head
1- The IDF blatantly claimed this underground WATER TANK was a "Hamas tunnel" their ground troops discovered at the Qatari hospital in Gaza on Nov 5 2023
Mainstream media put it in headlines immediately despite experts challenging this lie with detailed maps of the room
In February, local journalists were finally able to access the area & debunk the lie
The IDF knew exactly what this shaft was back in Nov b/c their troops inspected it on the ground, but they lied deliberately to pave the way for raiding, besieging, bombing, & destroying almost every single hospital in Gaza
2\ Bombing fleeing refugees: Israel bombed a convoy of Gazans fleeing south on the very "safe road" they ordered to go through, killing over 70 on Oct 13.
Israel immediately denied bombing the convoy & said it was Hamas.
Financial Times found Israel was lying.
The damage was consist with an Israeli airstrike! ft.com/content/95c5fc…
3\ In Nov, Israel lied (again) about Palestinian detainee Mohammed Nazal who was mercilessly beaten & tortured by Israeli prison guards for no reason until they broke his arms & denied him medical treatment.
BBC confirmed with 2 UK doctors that his arms were indeed broken.
