🧵Following public outrage about the transfer of blood units to Gaza, Magen David Adom, Israel's national emergency service, assured the Israeli public that it wasn't involved and that no blood from Israel, god forbid, was transferred to the people going through genocide in Gaza.
Apparently, it is not the first time MDA ensured the public that no pure Jewish Chosen Race blood was transferred to Gaza. Here's another tweet from last July.
Magen David Adom ("Red Star of David") also made a similar post 7 years ago, in May 2018, while the Israeli army was slaughtering hundreds of unarmed Palestinians taking part in the Great March of Return in Gaza.

"I was there, the article doesn't reflect reality" says Neil Bar, Visiting Scholar at UC Berkeley’s Center for Right-Wing Studies, in regards to today's Ha'aretz article, confirming Israeli soldiers shoot aid-seekers in Gaza as a policy.
The Guardian reporter Matthew Cassel interviewed a Palestinian farmer from Tulkarm, cut off from his land by the Apartheid Wall, and a privileged Israeli Jew living in Bat Hefer, right on the other side of the wall. Observe the different attitudes and read the rest after you watch.
Bat Hefer is what's called a "community settlement", a form of Jewish-only settlement invented in the late 70s, first implemented in the West Bank and then "imported" to 48-Palestine as part of the plan to "Judaize the Galilee". Such settlements are basically wealthy commuter villages, located at strategic points in order to "Judaize" areas and block the expansion of Palestinian towns and villages (like in the Galilee) or to serve as a human shield near the Green Line, as is the case with Bat Hefer.
Bat Hefer was built in the 90s as part of a plan by Ariel Sharon which aimed to create a sort of wall of settlements in the so-called "seam zone".
Although similar in many ways to West Bank settlements, their residents tend to lean, historically, towards the "center-left" Zionist politics. Most are quite wealthy, bourgeois, Ashkenazi, and educated.
As in West Bank settlements, as well as moshavim and kibbutzim within 48-Palestine, they have "acceptance committees" who decide who is "fit" to live in the settlements. Arabs are automatically rejected, but so is anyone else who doesn't fit the "master race" model of community settlements. For example, if he has a mental illness, or is "too Mizrahi" for their liking.
In the last elections, only 25% in Bat Hefer voted for the current coalition parties. Yair Lapid's "moderate" Yesh Atid party received 40.88% of the votes. So no. It is not about Netanyahu.

🧵You ask why we didn't take everything down?.. We didn't have enough explosives to do it... I think we pity them too much. These guys across the border planned to slaughter us, rape our women and burn our children"
In an extensive interview with Col. Avi Marciano, commander of the Hiram Brigade, Marciano expresses his belief that Israel has been too merciful towards Lebanese. The interview was published yesterday (June 6) on Ynet, for the occasion of Marciano leaving his position. Ynet calls him "The brigade commander who cleansed the Hezbollah villages".
Following are a few excerpts from the interview with this war criminal.
The full excerpt quoted in the beginning of the tweet:
""You ask why we didn't take everything down? Unfortunately, because we didn't have enough explosives to do it," he returns to the criticism. "I would like the general to come to me with a harsh criticism, say that I'm insolent and accuse me of being lazy because there are buildings that I didn't blow up and there is more work that I didn't complete. The system should have mobilized more here, and my criticism is also of myself that I probably didn't push hard enough. I think we pity them too much. Those guys across the border planned to slaughter us, rape our women and burn our children. We are a people who should strive to be in a struggle. Not because we don't like peace, but because we have no one to talk to on the other side."
""A collective memory had to be created among Hezbollah of complete annihilation of the very idea of annihilating the State of Israel," says Colonel Marciano. "Let them have a collective memory a hundred years in the future, that whoever plans to do 7/10 to Israel, this is the price they will pay. The main task I have set before me since the ceasefire was declared was to go house by house, warehouse by warehouse, and take out and blow up - and make sure that they would not have the ability to return here. As soon as the main maneuvering forces such as the paratroopers and the Golani and the reserve fighters cleared an area - we immediately entered it and began its systematic cleansing. We returned to the villages to make sure that no terrorist infrastructure remained in them.""
""We took the entire strip of large Shi'ite villages from the Manara area, Margaliot and Kfar Yuval to the Litani River - and we focused on them," he says. The principle that guided him and the soldiers of the brigade was clear and decisive, almost obsessive: "If you enter a place - don't leave it unless it is 'on the ground', completely annihilated"
Doron Kadosh, military correspondent for army-run radio Galey Tzahal (GALATZ), interviewed, by text messages, the ISIS-affiliated, Israel-backed gang leader Yasser Abu Shabab. According to Kadosh, Abu Shabab claimed that hundreds of Palestinian families already moved into the gang-run concentration camps, and that he's working closely with the PA, specifically with the mukhabarat (the PA's secret police)
