🧵I wrote a rebuttal of UN's new "report" accusing Israel of genocide for @UNWatch It is filled with fake data, fake intent, fake evidence. It erases Hamas. 10/7 is presented as something Israel did—including taking hostages (really!). See more below 1/ unwatch.org/un-watch-rebut…
10/7 is erased. Entire incident is presented as an Israeli attack, the reader won't know what happened. Hamas is erased too. They do not exist in the report. They are only even mentioned first 8 pages deep, and only and always in the context of Israeli claims & statements. 2/
Even more evil: there is no mention that Hamas took hostages. The report deliberately erases the event and weaponizes the word to accuse ISRAEL of taking the Palestinians people "hostage." The first mention of the word is buried 27 pages deep. This is Orwellian inversion. 3/
The report does discuss the war in Gaza. In 72-pages you won't learn that IDF troops are fighting against 40,000 combatants. There is only ONE mention of the word tunnel in 43,000 words of text, only in passing to mention an Israeli claim about hitting one. 4/
Report describes IDF attack on the European Hospital tunnel. It never mentions that Mohammed Sinwar was killed here, int'l journalists were brought in and Hamas confirmed he was killed. Instead, it's only mentioned as evidence that Israel targets healthecare in a genocide. 5/
There is so much more in this hateful document of lies. See full PDF link here. END unwatch.org/wp-content/upl…

🧵MSF survey of Gaza fatalities inadvertently reveals key data: 24% of all fatalities (~11,000) are natural, not war caused. Total deaths of 46,000 at Mar 2025 vs Hamas’ claim of 50,000. This shatters “studies” claiming far higher tolls; confirms inclusion of natural deaths. 1/
MSF reports a death rate of 0.41 per 10,000 per day in Gaza as of 3/26/25, thus totaling 46,000 fatalities since 10/7. And 76% are due to war injuries (~35,000), leaving 11,000 natural deaths—matching expected mortality (natural and infant) for this period. 2/
As of survey date, Hamas claims 50,144 deaths (see below from UN), not far off from MSF survey result. But Hamas has always claimed these were ALL war deaths, but yet in 2 years has never produced another list of “natural deaths” which based on history should be about 12,000. 3/
🧵IPC declared famine in Gaza 3 weeks ago. By their metrics we should have 4,300 starvation deaths since then and endless images of emaciated people. Instead Hamas/UN report just 135 such deaths in 21 days (also exaggerated). A 97% difference! IPC report was deliberate fraud. 1/
Most if not all "malnutrition deaths" in Gaza are people with serious other conditions, like cancer and children with cerebral palsy. They are not dying because there is literally no food available to give them. Like this man listed as a "malnutrition death." 2/
It’s crucial to distinguish deaths from literal lack of food vs deaths from diseases classified as malnutrition even when food is available. In the USA, 23,000 died of “malnutrition” in 2023, yet no one claims they were starved to death. See thread: 3/
🧵IAGS lost credibility after railroading a Gaza “genocide” resolution with no debate and allowing ANYONE to be a voting member. More important: resolution itself is false led by its president Melanie O’Brien who discarded scholarship to libel Israel. 1/
The resolution could not muster any credible evidence of "special intent" to genocide, recycling the fake "human animals" line as core evidence. This is just the tip of iceberg on this sham resolution that debases all the "scholars" who voted for it. 3/
➡️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/
