🧵BOMBSHELL: Hamas’ new March 2025 fatality list quietly drops 3,400 fully “identified” deaths listed in its Aug & Oct 2024 reports—including 1,080 children. These "deaths" never happened. The numbers were falsified—again. Examples, analysis and evidence: 1/
What happened? How did 1000s of supposedly confirmed, fully identified deaths just vanish? Were some actually missing persons? Sloppy records? Intentional deception? Hamas’ Ministry of Health was never reliable. Expect Hamas' many “list defenders” to come up with excuses. 2/
Fact is, from day one, Hamas has gamed the fatality data—from including 471 fake “deaths” at al-Ahli Hospital in the official count, to claiming 70% of fatalities were women & children (then quietly backing off). Managed fakery, dressed up as precision—just like in past wars. 3/
When @HJS_Orgpublished “Questionable Counting” by @Mr_Andrew_Fox (to which I contributed), critics claimed the errors in Hamas’ lists were minor—not systemic. Now, with thousands more false deaths exposed, the errors are no doubt systemic. 4/ henryjacksonsociety.org/publications/q…
Is the March 2025 list suddenly credible? No. Dropping names doesn’t equal accuracy. It includes ~8,000 natural deaths; by now it's clear after 16 months Hamas is not keeping a separate list. Hamas may be adding real IDs to match fake casualty claims then removing them later. 5/
Hamas has falsified fatality data in past wars, as this thread shows—despite the claims of its defenders, who wrongly insist Hamas has always been accurate, and even falsely claim that Israel accepts Hamas data as reliable. 6/
For the skeptics: rest of thread shows screenshots of PDFs showing the ID numbers for all 1,080 fatalities of children fully identified by Hamas (names, full IDs, ages) in Aug & Oct 2024 lists (out of 3,374 total including adult deaths), that are now missing from Mar 2025 list:
More of the 1080 children who were removed from the fatality list: END
For the record on this thread: Days after this post, a Sky New journalist with direct access to the "Ministry of Health" appears to have asked them why were these names removed. I doubt this would have happened if my thread did not get international coverage, mainly from The Telegraph and then many other news outlets (e.g. Fox News). The answer is detailed in the Sky News article linked below. The answer, according to the MoH official, is the inclusion of natural deaths and other deaths that were "false claims" by families and other people found to be alive. The removal of 1000s of names that was uncovered in my post was thus affirmed. So it may in fact be the case that some of the deaths on the list that were removed did happen (meaning the person did die), just not due to the war, but from natural causes. The admission of natural deaths by the MoH is a massive change in the narrative of Hamas' fatality counts, as for 18 months this was vehemently denied, and Hamas' "list defenders" went along with this, insisting that no way, no how, was Hamas including natural deaths. The lack of a separate list after 18 months should by now tell us that the cause of death has not been known for many of the deaths, and all deaths in Gaza were added to the lists since day 1. According to some sources, Hamas will release a "natural death" list in the next month -- but if they know who is a war death, then by definition they know who is a natural death, so why wait 18 months? Because the lists are all gamed and curated to tell the story Hamas wants to tell. news.sky.com/story/thousand…

➡️Update on my membership to the the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS):
Yesterday I joined the organization as a “genocide scholar,” paid my dues, and quickly realized I had started a trend. It turns out literally anyone can join this body and vote on matters that make international headlines—like the resolution claiming Israel is committing genocide.
A review of the ~600 membership list revealed that large numbers have no scholarly credentials at all. The group openly encourages “activists” and anyone interested to sign up. I found at least 80 members hailing from Iraq. Who voted for the Gaza genocide resolution? We don’t know—the ~100 votes were never disclosed. Could it have been dominated by this bloc? Hard to say.
But what happened next is telling: today the IAGS shut down its new membership page and, more importantly, removed its membership list from public view. Perhaps they no longer want the public to see who is really behind these votes, now that it’s been exposed.
Yes, there are some legitimate academics who are members. But when an organization with no standards, no transparency, and no accountability makes sweeping pronouncements about “genocide,” it isn’t scholarship—it’s politics masquerading as scholarship. And everyone deserves to know the difference. x.com/Aizenberg55/st…
Important article with comments by @DrSaraEBrown on the sham process by the IAGS. The moderator deleted dissenting listserv posts about the fake "Gaza genocide." jewishinsider.com/2025/09/intern…
@DrSaraEBrown Another interesting data point: Pre-10/7 the IAGS only had about 150 members. Suddenly they ballooned to 500+, recall this organization was formed in 1994.
📌I am now officially a “genocide scholar” as a member of the International Association of Genocide Scholars. I will uphold its mission to advance research & teaching on genocide and its prevention. See next link for my viral article exposing false claims of genocide in Gaza. 1/
I became a member too late to vote against the recent resolution calling Israel's action in Gaza a genocide (only 28% of total members voted yes). See my article below exposing the false claims:
I've been getting to know some of my fellow genocide scholars. Seems that Iraq is a center of knowledge in this field with 80 listed scholars of ~600 (13%). Remarkable, especially the Mahmood family with 5 scholars in the field. I wonder who voted for the Gaza resolution.
➡️IPC tested 15,700 kids for malnutrition in July and found 12%—below 15% famine threshold
😕Problematic. So what did they do?
➡️Use a smaller incomplete 7,100 sample showing 16%
✅Solved. Now UN can claim famine in Gaza!
Evidence & sources:
IPC used MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) of kids to assess starvation where 15%=famine. But instead of using full July dataset they dishonestly used a smaller incomplete sample of 7,127 kids. Table 18 of report shows 16.4% in Gaza Governorate—just enough to declare famine. 2/
On Aug 8, the State of Palestine Nutrition Cluster released a LARGER dataset of 15,749 kids—same Gaza sites, same methods—showing 12% malnutrition, below famine. You don’t need a PhD to know a sample twice the size is more reliable—and that ignoring it is academic fraud. 3/
🧵+972 article claims Israel killed only 8,900 combatants branding all others civilians. But piece admits those are only NAMED fighters. The fact that Israel has identified so many by name is remarkable. Pretending this proves the IDF didn't kill 20,000+ combatants is absurd. 1/
The article of course elevates Hamas data as accurate, ignoring that it includes natural deaths, deaths caused by Hamas, child combatants and numerous other anomalies. It also falsely asserts Israel accepts the Hamas data even though Israel said it officially does not. 2/
As usual for +972, it elevates anonymous and unofficial IDF sources, but buries the official statements from identified sources that contradict their entire thesis. They make much that the first response by the IDF was vague, but then later specifically disputed the data. END
🧵The “200 journalists killed in Gaza” claim is FALSE. So far at least 30 — plus the recently killed Anas Al-Sharif — are confirmed combatants based on open sources & social media. Many more will be exposed. Hamas apologists ignore the evidence. Examples next: 1/
Example 1: Mohammed Nabil Al-Zaq — listed as a “journalist” killed in Nov 23 — was in fact a confirmed combatant with multiple photos showing him in military gear and confirmed terrorist group ties. 2/
Example 2: Yaqoub Al-Barash — listed as a “journalist” killed in Nov 23 — was in fact a confirmed combatant with multiple tributes as a “mujahid” and a poster with a fighter image with the comment “with every hand fighting.” 3/
🧵The credibility of genocide studies has collapsed in its current assessment of Gaza. Fabricated quote snippets to prove intent, dismissal of legal precedent, omission of Hamas, and refusal to analyze the war itself have debased the field. Here’s a debunk of recent articles: 1/
Raz Segal raced to publish the libel on Oct 13, 2023 even as Israeli bodies were still being collected inside Israel. He admits its “very difficult to prove intent” then lies by misstating Herzog, Netanyahu and even Naftali Bennet. See thread. 2/
Prof. Blatman & Goldberg wrote a piece for Haaretz claiming genocide using fabricated quotes. For example they claim Netanyahu said “we must destroy Amalek” but he only said “remember” Amalek. See thread: 3/
