🧵Recent @TheLancet study claimed 60,000 Gaza deaths using statistical analysis on 3 fatality lists, mainly Hamas’ June 2024 list. But 881 “confirmed” June deaths were REMOVED in Hamas' Oct 2024 & March 2025 lists—invalidating study's conclusions. Review & analysis: 1/Image Data for Lancet study was anchored on June 2024 Hamas list of 22,347 “identified” fatalities recorded only by the hospital, excluding self reports. But a comparison of these supposedly 100% confirmed deaths to Hamas' later lists shows 881 “deaths” removed—they never happened. 2/ Image

🧵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/Image 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/

🧵GAZA FATALITY UPDATE: Hamas issued new list of 50,021 fatalities. Findings: (a) Fatalities age 13-55 are 72% men (b) Teen soldiers confirmed; males=65% of deaths age 13-17 (c) Natural deaths are ~8,300 of total fatalities. (4) IDF targeted combatants; NO genocide. Analysis: 1/Image As in prior lists, well known use by Hamas & PIJ of teen combatants as young as 13 is confirmed, with 65% of teen fatalities male. There are ~1,500 excess teen combatants recorded (Silence, of course, from so-called NGOs). Under age 10, fatalities close to 50-50 male/female. 2/ Image

🧵IDF's strike on Hamas leader Ismail Barhoum at Nasser hospital was legal, in compliance with Geneva Conventions regarding protection of hospitals, distinction, proportionality & warnings. Claims that strike was illegal willfully ignore evidence and int'l law. Full analysis: 1/Image Barhoum was in Hamas' politburo, its main decision making body directing its policy & activities. It's not just Israel who said this; EU put him under individual sanctions for "financing" Hamas “enabling their violent actions,” corroborating Israeli claims. NOT a civilian. 2/ Image

🧵Many anti-Israel biases of the Gaza fatality story are encapsulated in this article citing 50,000 killed. This is willful ignorance on the part of CNN and these journalists. Here is a review of how this article is a gross misrepresentation on many levels: 1/ Image The Health Ministry IS Hamas. H-A-M-A-S. There is no separate independent entity. The media knows this, everyone knows this, but CNN deliberately obscures this fact. 2/ Image

🧵Hamas’ core war doctrine is the use of human shields to deter attacks against its military assets, see core elements below. Hamas supporters & apologists actively cover up for this strategy with false arguments and fake int’l law. This thread debunks 6 of these falsehoods: 1/Image FAKE ARGUMENT 1: "Hamas does not force or direct civilians to shield their military so they don't use human shields." This fake argument misrepresents international law. Geneva says upfront, merely the "presence” of civilians, even if they are unware, violates laws of war. Image

🧵UNHRC “report” is a new low, a blood libel falsely accusing Israel of “systematic” sexual violence, inverting reality as Hamas committed these crimes. UN disgustingly claims Israel's policy is to rebuild "national masculinity through aggression." Detailed review & analysis: 1/Image Report relies on 3 key false claims: (1) IDF targeted women & girls by policy; (2) IDF hit medical facilities by policy to stop female reproduction; (3) IDF had Gazans remove clothes not for security reasons, but as sexual violence by policy. See some report section headings: 2/ Image

🧵Nasty “Purim” article by @PeterBeinart uses 3 common & inane arguments to justify Hamas' use of human shields: (1) All insurgent groups use human shields so we can't expect Hamas not to. Hamas would lose quickly otherwise so it's OK... so civilian deaths are Israel's fault! 1/ Image (2) IDF also uses human shields with HQ in Tel Aviv. Key differences: HQ is clearly marked as military, is solely military & not co-located with civilian uses. Beinart pretends he doesn’t know all this; he knows the Pentagon is also in a civilian area and not a human shield. 2/ Image

🧵CRITICAL: Until Hamas is defeated, Israel is NOT the “Occupying Power” in Gaza and NOT obligated to provide Gazans food & aid per international law (IHL). IHL defines occupation as authority over territory that can be exercised, which Israel does not have in Gaza. Analysis: 1/Image There is a false claim that Geneva IV.55 obligates Israel to supply Gaza as an “Occupying Power.” But despite claims that Israel occupies Gaza (often citing an ICJ Advisory Opinion or because the UN says so), per Geneva & IHL, Israel is not an "Occupying Power" today in Gaza. 2/ Image

🧵Israel is often accused of "Collective Punishment” of Gazans since many suffer due to war. But this is not at all what Collective Punishment means. Geneva prohibits specific penalties against people who did not commit a crime. It's a false usage of the law to attack Israel. 1/ Image Concept of Collective Punishment is that “penal liability is personal in character.” You cannot penalize someone who did not commit a crime. Collective punishment DOES NOT refer to general suffering from war or other reasons. Here is the explanatory commentary from Geneva: 2/ Image

🧵Ehud Olmert just released a map of proposed Palestinian state he offered Abbas in 2008, the final shattering of the myth that Abbas said no to statehood because he did not have a proper map. Palestinians had this map all along, proven by the "Palestine Papers." See detail: 1/ Image We know for sure that the Palestinian negotiating team had the detailed map when Al Jazeera published the Palestine Papers in 2011. They contained Olmert’s plan in detail with map, see below. The "not having a map to review" excuse is fake. 2/ aljazeera.com/news/2011/1/23…Image

🧵@nytimes continues to spread the lie of starvation, presenting the market in Jabaliya as something new, that has not happened for "endless months," finally some food. But food markets operated here throughout war. All journalistic standards violated here. Evidence below. 1/ Image This 2 minute video from Dec 2024, weeks before the ceasefire, shows fruits & vegetables sold in Jabaliya, including apples. No famine, no starvation. 2/

🧵Article in Haaretz by Professors Daniel Blatman & Amos Goldberg claiming Israel is committing genocide in Gaza relies on lies, fake analysis and several fabricated quotes. Difficult to understand why these academics would be so intellectually dishonest. Detailed analysis: 1/Image On intent to genocide, authors claim it exists from Netanyahu, Herzog & Gallant. But their entire paragraph is fake, with 3 invented quotes. Nothing authors write on intent is accurate, invalidating article. Inability to tell the simple truth on the quotes is shocking. 2/ Image

🧵Hamas' murder & kidnapping of Thai workers on 10/7 was closely planned; contrary to Hamas apologists it wasn't “inadvertent.” Silence by fake NGOs @hrw @amnesty is deliberate & disgusting—but since Hamas fights Israel they don't care and won't call for release of last Thai. 1/ Image Here is an example of how the fake “human rights NGOs” is 100% silent about Thais held hostage by Hamas, but tweets regularly critical of Thailand for detentions. If you get caught up with Israel, assume your human rights don’t count to these "NGOs." 2/ Image

🧵BOMBSHELL FINDING: Hamas inadvertently admits in new data release that far more men died than shown on “identified” list of fatalities, corroborating IDF claim of 20,000 combatants killed. Hamas reports 7x more fathers killed than mothers during war! Sources & analysis: 1/Image See Hamas MoH report below. 32,152 children lost father and 4,417 lost mother. This 7.3x ratio is far higher than 2.2x adult men to woman listed on Hamas fatality list from Oct 2024. It can only mean many men killed missing from Hamas fatality list. 2/

🧵KEY THREAD: Gaza Fatality Final Estimates:

51,600 total deaths broken down as follows:
22,600 civilians
20,000 combatants
7,000 natural deaths
2,000 deaths caused by Hamas
Civilian/combatant ratio: ~1:1

See detailed analysis after 15 months of close review:Image Here is estimate of children & women killed in war, using Hamas’ data, but adjusting for teen combatants, infant mortality and natural deaths. Combined ~37% of total fatalities (it was never 70% or even 50%) and ~72% of civilian fatalities (this is where the 70% came from). 2/ Image

🧵Lancet article claiming 64,000+ deaths in Gaza has many flaws, but one item in authors' final data output destroys validity of their analysis. Authors claim 52% of deaths age 45-59 are female; but Hamas' identified list of 40,700 deaths from Oct 2024 shows only 35% female. 1/Image In Oct 2024 Hamas issued an updated “identified” fatality with age & sex detail. For age 45-59 it was 2,861 men & 1,557 women. So according to Lancet article that says overall Gaza deaths are 41% more than Hamas says, for this age range the undercount is 100% women, 0% males. 2/ Image

🧵Arafat rejected the Clinton Parameters exactly 24 years ago in January 2001, rejecting statehood that would have ended the conflict. Every life lost since is due to Arafat saying no. Recent statements by Clinton affirms this history. Full details of offer and rejection: 1/Image Overview: Following failed Camp David summit in Summer of 2000 and Arafat’s launch of 2nd Intifada, Clinton dictated a final set of peace terms in Dec 2000 (very brief summary below), well beyond offer at Camp David, and asked each side to say yes “within the Parameters.” 2/ Image

🧵Ireland filed document at ICJ on Dec 20 outlining how it wants definition of genocide changed, as it admitted on Dec 11 it would do. Filing effectively proves claims of genocide against Israel at ICJ and by NGOs like Amnesty are invalid. Analysis of changes Ireland wants: 1/Image Ireland’s tactic is to join the Rhoyinga genocide case (The Gambia v Myanmar), ask the ICJ here for definitional changes, mainly in how “special intent” or dolus specialis for genocide is defined and join South Africa case v Israel with new definition to use against Israel. 2/ Image

🧵With 500K+ views this fake list of "Zionist arguments" requires a full debunking. Every point Shehada makes is a lie, misrepresentation, strawman, and fake history (lots of it). Detailed thread below: 1/ 1. The very first claim is a lie. That “Zionist arguments” argue “we were here first.” No “Zionist” claims Jews were the first human beings in the area, this is a strawman argument fabricated by Shehada. Instead, the fact (not an "argument") is that Jews originated in the region with a 3,000 year unbroken history that included independent kingdoms. That Jewish history in the region predates Arab and Muslim history.

🧵Report by @Mr_Andrew_Fox debunking Hamas fatality data has been predictably attacked by Hamas defense attorneys who can't accept a group that did 10/7, kidnaps babies & rapes hostages would lie. Review of criticism and why report remains accurate: 1/ henryjacksonsociety.org/publications/q…Image First, critics claim, ad nauseam, that Hamas Ministry of Health (MoH) data has been reliable in the past so it's credible today. False, as HJS report and thread below prove. Hamas vastly overstated civilian deaths in prior wars like they are now. 2/
