1/ It is so bizarre hearing reporters ask if Israel "has done enough," when Israel intentionally engineered this entire pre-planned famine by using starvation as a weapon of war.
The famine was announced, in advance, by Israeli leadership.
2/ Starvation was the plan from day one. This is from the person who created the plan to ethnically cleanse North Gaza.
3/ Two days in to the genocide, from the person in charge of coordination between Israel and the Gaza Strip.
4/ Five days in to the genocide, from the person who just got promoted to Minister of Defense.
5/ Same person, six days in.
6/ The new Minister of Defense, 8 days in:
7/ From a member of the Knesset, 9 days in to the genocide:
8/ 10 days in, from a Minister another minister in the government:
9/ Another minister, also ten days in to the genocide.
10/ Another MK, 16 days in.
11/ From the Minister of Defense at the time, one month in to the genocide.
12/ From a Major General, in January.
13/ From the Minister of National Security, in February.
14/ In May, one of the most powerful MKs, the Deputy Speaker demanded aid stop. He *personally* blocked aid from entering Gaza.
15/ When he blocked the aid, he was worried he wasn't getting credit for it. So he went on Israeli media to brag about it. Again, a powerful MK.
16/ And it is important to note Israel has been attempting to use starvation and denial of water as a weapon to ethnically cleanse Gaza for decades.
This is from 1967, from the former Prime Minister of Israel.
17/ Journalists might want to consider phrasing in a manner that isn't "is Israel doing enough to provide aid" and instead ask the more honest question:
"Why is the US complicit in Israel intentionally starving the population of Gaza?"
</thread>
18/ A post script. Listen to Palestinian journalists.
2/ 7 different soldiers and officers said the grenades were dropped on families with children to terrify others in to leaving, or prevent them from coming back.
Because it +972, they call areas cleared by murdering children "evacuated" instead of "forcibly displaced."
3/ All the men, women, and children they massacred, at a distance, with these flying death robots are classified as "terrorists" despite being unarmed,.
Minor detail: +972 says having a (kitchen? pocket?) knife is being "armed" even when far away from Israeli troops.
1/ Let's explore the Google advertisement smearing UN Human Rights Rapporteur Francesca Albanese.
First, the are paid for by the government of Israel.
2/ There are five links in advertisement.
An advertisement with 5 links is one of Google's more expensive options. Israel is going all in on this smear campaign.
With typical Israeli technical competence, the 5 links go to just 2 pages (3 are repeats).
3/ Before diving into the pages that the ad links to, I would like to note that this is timed with the sanctions the US just placed on Francesca Albanese.
1/2 - This (very bad) BBC article confirms our reporting that the New York Times lied, to minimize the war crime of Israel bombing a crowded seaside cafe.
2/2 - Here is our original thread on @nytimes completely misreading its audience into believing that Israel issued an "evacuation warning" (NYT language) before it bombed the cafe, massacring dozens, including a children at a birthday party.
1/ A high-end web hosting company called Pantheon @getpantheon is apparently hosting the GHF's website.
Does @outlandishjosh know that Pantheon is hosting the website for the company that set up the killing fields in Gaza, where aid seekers are massacred daily?
Does it concern Pantheon that they are hosting an Israeli project that to militarizes starvation and food aid to further a genocide?
Is Pantheon concerned about the legal and reputational fallout of hosting the GHF?
Do @drupal and @WordPress developers not care about Palestine? Do they want to use a hosting company that supports the machinery of genocide?
Is this something @getpantheon wants to defend at conferences?
Why is Pantheon participating in the Zionist genocide in Gaza?
