🚨Israel is aiding ISIS-linked terrorists & criminals to sow chaos & famine in Gaza:
Shadi al-Sofi, a wanted murderer & son of an informant/collaborator with Israel, & Yasser abu Shabab, a drug dealer, are the main warlords responsible for looting most aid under IDF protection.
They formed gangs of over 200 armed criminals & “established a military like compound” (per the UN) in an emptied "death zone" fully under IDF control, where they looted only this Saturday night about 100 aid trucks at once.
This way Israel can absolve itself of responsibility for its deliberate starvation policy in Gaza and say “look, we’re letting aid in, it’s Hamas’ fault that food doesn’t reach people” (as claimed by Senator Jon Fetterman yesterday).
IDF soldiers never fire at those gang members as they loot aid right in front of Israeli tanks & troops in a closed military zone that no Gazan is allowed into. The IDF only fires at local policemen whenever they try to prevent the looting.
Yasser Abu Shabab was arrested by Gaza's local police multiple times in the past for drug smuggling & trading, which is often facilitated by ISIS groups in Sinai.
Hamas militants attempted to eliminate him yesterday in an attack that killed 11 of his gang, including his brother & partner Fathi & the gang's accountant. 30 others were wounded.
Shadi Al-Sofi murdered in 2020 Jabr al-Qeeq, a PLFP member whom Israel had sentenced to life & imprisoned for 15 years for killing al-Sofi's father during the 1st Intifada for spying on Palestinians for Israel.
Al-Sofi was convicted in a Gazan court & the local police captured him in a special operation in late 2020, before he broke out of prison with the help of ISIS-linked militants & was smuggled out of Gaza to Sinai, then reportedly to Israel's Negev. He returned to Gaza with the IDF ground invasion where he now co-leads the criminal gangs that loot aid & sabotage humanitarian work under IDF protection.
2\ This is the moment Gaza' police captured Shadi al-Sofi in 2020 for murdering Jabr al-Qeeq.
Al-Sofi was sentenced to death in court, before militants broke him out of prison & smuggled him into Sinai in 2021, only to return to Gaza 3 years later with the IDF invasion
3\Haaretz confirms the gangs looting aid under IDF protection are affiliated with terrorist groups like ISIS
The gangs operate just 100 meters from IDF tanks & troops, who only fire at civilians or policemen entering the area but never at those gangs haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
4\ Washington Post shows the criminal & ISIS-linked gangs looting aid enjoy "passive" or "active" IDF "protection" (per internal UN memo)
The gangs established a “military like compound” in an area “restricted, controlled & patrolled by the IDF washingtonpost.com/world/2024/11/…
5\ The death of Yasser abu Shabab is yesterday's Hamas operation is not yet confirmed.
Local police estimate he's highly likely still alive, as his gang looted a fuel truck today, burned another & prevented the rest from reaching the Kerem Shalom crossing to pick up aid
6\ Here, @sharifkouddous & @jeremyscahill provide additional important insights on how Israel aids those criminal gangs to loot aid under IDF protection: dropsitenews.com/p/gaza-securit…
7\ Israel has been reaching out to many large families & gangs throughout Gaza to do its dirty work. Most refused, some accepted & are armed by Israel.
Local police has a full list of names of collaborators & announced yesterday they'll launch more attacks against them

🚨Israel is systematically RAPING Palestinians, inc children & elderly, as a weapon of war:
2 journalists provide frightening testimonies about how IDF soldiers would randomly select a group of Gazan hostages, unleash dogs to "tear at their skin & flesh", RAPE them & film itđź§µ
2\ Israeli soldiers beat to a pulp then RAPED a Gazan hostage with a fire extinguisher, emptied inside him until he lost consciousness! Doesn't speak since
Another was stripped naked, soldiers put a dog on top of him to rip his flesh & electrocuted his genitals with high voltage
3\ Israeli soldiers are torturing & RAPING Gazan hostages at random; the elderly & children are not spared!
Mainstream media is deliberately NOT showing us the other side of the Amsterdam clashes; Israeli hooligans attacking local residents, chanting genocidal slogans & vandalising Palestinian flags.
Classic propaganda & disinformation by omission, followed by selective condemnations.
2\ As always, the story for mainstream media begins as soon as Israelis are attacked, never when they attack. They're always THE victim & only victim. Innocents only persecuted b/c of their faith of ethnicity is the classic narrative!
3\ Violence against civilians is never justified, no matter by who against whom.
But for mainstream media & Western politicians, they have broken moral compass that never point any fingers of blame when Israelis are violent. They only wake up when it's the other way around!
When the genocide ends, I can write a giant book on mainstream media journalists who constantly wasted hours & hours of my & my colleagues time to do unrequited toil & collect indisputable evidence for them of Israeli crimes, only to NEVER publish a single word, ever!
2\ Journalist A last Dec: can you send me geolocation, footage from multiple angles, eyewitnesses, dates... of Israel shooting civilians raising white flags?
They never published a word
A few weeks ago same journalist: can you send me more recent incidents, the story is old now
Journalist B: can you send me the names of every single bakery Israel has bombed since the start of the war, their geolocation, date of bombing, footage, eyewitnesses...
Basically do the whole job for them unaccredited & they slap their name on it.
54% of Palestinians still support October 7 a year later.
The 2 most vital questions are: what do they exactly support? & why? I spent months interviewing dozens of Palestinians on thisđź§µ
1- Support for October 7 does NOT mean support for Hamas or atrocities against civilians
There are currently two October 7s in people's minds; one that Israel and pro-Israeli crowds see of pure evil, which focuses solely on the killing & kidnapping of civilians, omitting everything else.
The other Oct 7 that 54% of Palestinians voice support for, which is the attacks on military targets that broke Israel’s image of invincibility & the "prison break" moment of defeating Gaza's confinement.
90% of the Palestinian supporters of Oct 7 "believe Hamas men did not commit” alleged or documented atrocities from that day (per the source of that poll).
That is b/c Oct 7 is understood to have consisted of 2 waves (something acknowledged by the ICC Chief Prosecutor). The 1st wave was made of elite Hamas "Nukhba" militants & predominantly focused on Israeli military bases surrounding Gaza.
The 2nd wave formed spontaneously once the news broke out in Gaza & anyone with a gun rushed to the fence, including members of 6 other armed factions & non-Nukhba Hamas individuals as well as Gaza’s riff-raffs & hooligans & curious spectators. This wave had no central command, prior plans, coordination, or set goals, which prompted even Hamas’ own Yahia Sinwar to acknowledge that “things went out of control” (per WSJ).
Also, the wave of attacks on Israeli Kibbutzism on October 7 are clouded to many Palestinians by doubt over how much of the atrocity narratives is accurate. This is in light of debuked disinformation Israel’s government deliberately tried to spread as well as Israeli reports of “numerous” incidents of friendly fire & activating the “hannibal protocol” which authorizes the IDF to thwart suspected kidnapping attempts by killing everyone at the scene. Add to this Israel’s strict military censorship over what is allowed to be published.
2- Why do 54% of Palestinians still support Oct 7 a year later?
80% of those Palestinians do so b/c it “has put the Palestinian issue at the center of attention & eliminated years of neglect” (per the poll's source). This sentiment stems from a context of Gazans suffering slow death for 2 decades under Israel's siege while the world looked the other way.
In their support for Oct 7, many Palestinians cite the desperate necessity to disrupt an excruciating 17-year-long siege on Gaza that had already rendered the enclave “uninhabitable” by 2020 & pushed many futureless yet highly educated youth to the brink of suicide.
They also bring up a profound sense of isolation & abandonment that preceded this war where Palestinians’ plight was relegated to the sidelines of international discourse; seen as a mere hurdle on the path to Israeli-Arab normalization, which deepened the fear that Palestinians' suffering would persist indefinitely.
Compounding this was an increased sense of existential threat under Israel’s most far-right government in history, due to rising attacks by Israeli settlers & the IDF across the West Bank, with 2022 and 2023 marking the deadliest years for Palestinians since records began in 2005, and Israel’s largest land theft for settlements in decades.
3- Was October 7 the best course of action to disrupt Gaza's unliveable status quo?
Many supportive answers are not articulated in voicing support for Hamas itself or violence but rather in highlighting how virtually every other alternative path failed to yield tangible results.
The most prominent disillusionment Palestinians bring up is that with over 30 years of negotiations that never birthed a Palestinian state. Israel’s Knesset recently affirmed that conviction with 2 resolutions that uncompromisingly reject the two-state solution under any circumstances.
Nonviolent protests were also crushed by Israel. The 2018-2019 Great March of Return saw tens of thousands of unarmed Gazans protest weekly against the blockade. Israeli snipers shot & maimed over 30,000 protesters & bragged about how many Palestinian kneecaps they blew up, with one scoring 42 knees in one day.
Palestinians also tried to knock on the doors of the UN and international courts, actions that Israel routinely attacks as "diplomatic terrorism". Whatever historic resolutions Palestinians got remained mere ink on paper; never to be implemented.
Even Palestinians who try converting to Judaism are automatically rejected out of hand by Israel. One prominent convert who changed his name to David Ben Avraham, studied the Torah in depth and befriending numerous Israeli Rabbis was shot dead at point blankby an IDF soldier last March for daring to call himself “Jewish.”
So slow death under Israel’s Apartheid, compounded by deadlocked peaceful avenues, leaves Palestinians with the conviction there is nothing they could do to be treated as human beings.
This despair then lends credence to armed resistance as a tool to shake up the status quo, exact revenge, or for counter-intimidation.
