THREAD: 🚨 So here’s what just came out. Israeli media outlet Channel 13 leaked internal government transcripts from March 2025 that show the Israeli war cabinet knowingly pursued a strategy of starvation in Gaza. Image
The idea was that by blocking humanitarian aid like food, water, and medicine, they could force Hamas to surrender. But what’s even more shocking is that at the same time, Israel had real opportunities to secure the release of hostages through negotiations.
The leaked records show that Hamas was engaging in the talks seriously and was not acting in bad faith. In fact, Israel’s top intelligence and military officials including the heads of the IDF, Shin Bet, and Mossad were all urging Netanyahu to move forward with what is called Phase B of the ceasefire deal.
They believed this could lead to the release of all hostages. They argued that even if the war resumed later, this was the best shot to bring the captives home.
But Netanyahu said no. He rejected their advice, broke the ceasefire, and escalated the war anyway. He chose to continue the siege and starvation strategy, hoping it would succeed where negotiations might not.

We now we have proof that the Israeli government chose this path even when other options were on the table.

THREAD: You know what the most unhinged comment we get all the time on our content is?

“Just release the hostages.”

Let’s talk about that.
1/
Let’s start with the obvious:
Hamas did release hostages.

In November 2023, during a brief ceasefire, Hamas released 105 hostages—including Israeli women and children—in exchange for 240 Palestinian women and children held without charge.

And what did Israel do?
2/
Israel broke the ceasefire. Resumed bombing.

Killed hundreds in the first days alone.
And launched a campaign of destruction that has now killed over 37,000 Palestinians, including over 15,000 children.

So let’s stop pretending hostage release would end the "war" aka Isreal's and U.S's genocide in Gaza.

🧵 Let’s talk about the lie that “the aid is there, but the UN won’t distribute it.”

Here’s what’s actually happening at the Gaza border — and why Palestinians are still starving.
1/
Hundreds of aid trucks are parked at the Kerem Shalom crossing. But they’re not moving because Israel controls everything:
What enters

When it enters

Who’s allowed to move it

And how much is allowed in.
This is not a logistics issue. It’s a siege.
2/
UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said it bluntly:

“Israeli authorities are the sole decision makers on who, how, and how much aid enters Gaza... Kerem Shalom is not a McDonald’s drive-through.”

🧵THREAD: Israeli colonization doesn't just take Palestinian land—it tears apart entire communities and traditions. Here's how it's playing out in the village of Taybeh, northeast of Ramallah. ⤵️
mondoweiss.net/2025/07/how-is…
For generations, Taybeh's Palestinian villagers and nearby Bedouin communities shared a symbiotic relationship—farmers grew crops while Bedouins grazed livestock, each supporting the other. But Israeli land seizures and violent settler expansion are unraveling this fabric.
Since October 2023, Israeli settlers have forcibly expelled dozens of Bedouin families from their grazing lands near Taybeh, pushing them toward the village outskirts. With shrinking space, tensions now rise as Bedouins unintentionally herd livestock into villagers' precious olive groves.

THREAD: A senior ICE official just admitted under oath that the U.S. government used the far-right doxxing site Canary Mission to build reports on student protesters—most of them pro-Palestinian.

These reports were sent to the State Department to initiate possible deportations.
2/ 2.
Peter Hatch, a senior DHS intelligence official, testified in federal court that more than 75% of the names in their investigation came directly from Canary Mission’s website.

This is the first public confirmation that the U.S. government is operationalizing Canary Mission’s blacklist.
3/
Canary Mission is an anonymously run site that targets students and faculty who speak out for Palestinian rights, labeling them as antisemitic or terrorist sympathizers. It hosts thousands of profiles and has long been criticized for endangering careers and safety.

🧵 THREAD: Israel’s Aid Death Traps in Gaza

How Israel and the U.S. turned food aid into a weapon of extermination — and why Palestinians call these sites "death traps."
1/
The UN said Gaza is the hungriest place on Earth.

The entire population is at risk of famine. Malnutrition has doubled. Children are starving. And when Palestinians go looking for food, many of them don’t come back.

Because they’re being killed at aid sites.
2/
Since late May, over 400 Palestinians have been killed and more than 3,000 wounded while trying to collect food.

These aren’t isolated incidents — they’re near-daily massacres.

Snipers. Tanks. Drones.
All opened fire on starving civilians.

THREAD: Zionism isn’t just a threat to Palestinians. It’s the root of regional violence — from Gaza to Tehran.
As Israel bombs Iran with U.S. backing, Iranian civilians are learning what Palestinians have always known.

Zionism expands — or it dies. 🧵
mondoweiss.net/2025/06/zionis…
2/
Toddlers trembling from fear. Professors burying their students. Fathers and daughters killed in their sleep.

This isn’t new. It’s the logic of Zionism.
3/
Palestinians have lived this for 76 years.
Israeli strikes are not “defensive.” They’re about sustaining an ideology — Zionism — built on supremacy, expansion, and ethnic domination.

And the U.S. bankrolls it all.
