1. Former Sunday Times journalist Michael Prescott produced a memo on the BBC that rehashes debunked pro-Israeli claims. It is surprising therefore that the BBC is taking it seriously.

Four comments on Prescott's memo: 🧵
2. FIRST, Prescott rehashes the debunked pro-Israeli claim that in mid 2024 the UN lowered or halved the number of women and children killed in Gaza. Image
3. Yet as the UN confirmed and media outlets like Newsweek and Al-Jazeera double-checked. This was simply incorrect and a misrepresentation. Here is Aljazeera report of UN comments: aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/14…Image

"We're interested in emptying Gaza first"

"In the 1960s/1970s, left-wing governments of Israel proposed plans to 'thin' the population of the Gaza Strip. A perusal of the minutes of meetings reveals that their ideas don't differ much from those of today's far-right government" Image

A new report by the UN Special Committee:

1. "Given the developments during the reporting period, the Special Committee is ever more convinced that the world is witnessing genocide in Gaza" ohchr.org/en/documents/t…
2. "Committee is shocked by the extent of land confiscation, targeting of communities, separation of families, demolitions, forced evictions, killings, physical abuse and other tactics employed... to push Palestinian communities from their lands and homes" in the West Bank Image
3. "Special Committee has received disturbing briefings on the systematic and widespread perpetration of sexual and gender-based violence, torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment inflicted on Palestinian detainees by Israeli military and security forces" Image

1. The Trump - Netanyahu plan should be opposed and rejected. It offers the Palestinians a choice between colonial apartheid and occupation, at best, and gives a cover for the continuation of the genocide, at worst. 1/24 🧵
2. This is a unilateral, one-sided plan, that is delivered as an ultimatum. Therefore it would effectively justify the continuation and completion of the genocide. Either because Hamas will be cornered to reject it or because Israel will violate it.
3. Israel has a track record of violating agreements (no withdrawal from Lebanon after Nov 2024 agreement; violating cease fire agreement in March 2025; no lifting of blockade despite release of a hostage in May 2025).
