🧵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 falsely claimed that the ICJ said that genocide was "plausible" when it clearly did not. 2/

➡️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.

📌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/ Image 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:

UN's Gaza Famine Fraud Exposed:

➡️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:Image 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/Image

🧵+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/ Image 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/ Image

🧵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/ Image 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/ Image

🧵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/ Image 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/

🧵Melanie O’Brien is yet another “genocide scholar” who abandons legal standards to accuse Israel of genocide. She contradicts her own scholarship on “special intent,” cites fake quotes, marks 10/7 as an “escalation against Palestinians” and erases Hamas as a factor. Detail: 1/ Image Some background: In a Feb 2024 lecture O’Brien says proving genocidal intent is extremely difficult, citing ICJ rulings that evidence must “only point” to this intent, the “only inference reasonably drawn.” She now egregiously ignores that standard entirely for Israel. 2/ Image

🧵Hamas films its own war crimes— booby-trapping tunnel shafts in residential homes, fighting in civilian clothes, firing rockets at Israeli towns. Then people like @piersmorgan wonder why many areas of Gaza are destroyed. Hamas shows us why. Journalists ignore it. Examples: 1/ Image Hamas openly films its fighters ALWAYS in civilian clothes burying IEDs across Gaza—like here in Jabaliya. This is their central war strategy. Then people act shocked that areas of Gaza are in ruins, shocked the IDF is not going into these areas without removing threat first. 2/ Image

🧵ALL genocide "reports" rely, as core evidence, on the lie that Gallant called Palestinians “human animals.” There is no evidence for this. He referred to Hamas constantly. The dishonesty by every "genocide expert" like @bartov_omer is beyond belief. See detail on Gallant: 1/ Image Not once did Gallant call Palestinians “human animals.” There is no quote—none. Ever. Fabricated evidence. Genocide requires fully conclusive proof of intent. This isn’t even close. There are dozens of example where Gallant referred to Hamas. 2/

🧵Intentional starvation claims in Gaza are a lie. Israel enabled 100 food trucks/day for week ending July 16—38% above pre-war levels. Since 10/7, 1.4M tons of food entered Gaza, enough for 27 months of needs per WFP. That’s not counting GHF aid. Hamas lies, media accepts. 1/ Image COGAT issues daily truck data by type, tonnage and route. It’s all been provided in detail since 2023 with 2,700 rows of data (fuel, medicine, water, shelter, etc.) It’s notable that ALL claims of “intentional starvation” never dispute this data or offers alternative data. 2/ Image

🧵Many “genocide scholars” alleging genocide in Gaza didn’t reach that view through careful analysis of the war. They called Israel genocidal long before 10/7. For example, Martin Shaw, now often cited, called Zionism and Israel’s 1948 founding genocidal years ago. Details: 1/ Image Shaw is therefore not a neutral “genocide expert” evaluating Gaza but an anti-Israel activist. If Israel’s creation & Zionism are genocide, then Gaza is a foregone conclusion. In all his writings since 10/7 he doesn’t engage with facts & analyze—he instead shills for Hamas. 2/ Image

🧵GAZA FATALITY UPDATE: Hamas released a new fatality list on July 15, with 58,000 deaths. It reveals:

➡️Combat-age deaths are 73% male → 18,600 excess
➡️Teens 13-17: 66% male; confirms child combatants
➡️Data contradicts claims of indiscriminate attacks Image As in prior lists, the well known use by Hamas & PIJ of teen combatants as young as 13 is confirmed, with 66% of teen fatalities male, almost 2,000 excess teen combatants recorded. Silence, of course, from UN & fake NGOs. Under age 10, fatalities close to 50-50 male/female. 2/ Image

🧵Every article by so-called “genocide experts" without exception fabricate or grossly misrepresent quotes by Israeli leaders to invent the required “special intent” for genocide. This week it was Omer Bartov; before it was Raz Segal, Daniel Blatman & Amos Goldberg. More detail: Image 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/

🧵Omer Bartov’s NYT piece charging Israel with genocide fails in the opening paragraphs. His five examples of “genocidal intent” by Netanyahu & Gallant are grossly misrepresented or invented. None come anywhere close to meeting the legal bar of “special intent.” Analysis⬇️ 1/ Image Bartov’s FIRST evidence of genocidal intent? Netanyahu saying the enemy, clearly Hamas, would pay a “huge [immense] price” on the morning of 10/7. See the full statement below, ZERO genocidal intent. Bartov dishonestly invents intent. The genocide case collapses immediately. 2/ Image

🧵Gaza reports 66 TOTAL starvation deaths since 10/7—a million miles below famine thresholds. Famine in Gaza would mean 400 deaths/DAY; Phase 4 starts at 200/day. These recent Palestinian-sourced numbers utterly destroy the famine and “intentional starvation” narrative. 1/ Image According to IPC, Phase 5 famine means 2/10,000 dying daily. Phase 4 Emergency, 1/10,000 daily. That would mean well over 70,000 starvation deaths by now in Gaza. After 21 months, the number is under 100. The data doesn’t support famine. It exposes the lies & propaganda. 2/ Image

🧵The al-Ahli Hospital "massacre" in Oct 2023 reset the Gaza war narrative:

➡️Media reverted to portraying Israel as the villain
➡️Hamas death toll lies exposed
➡️No lesson learned: Hamas remains trusted
➡️Framing of conflict matters MORE than the truth

Recap & analysis: 1/ Image 10/7 shattered the default media script of Israel as evil and Palestinians as blameless. Sympathy BRIEFLY shifted. Then came Al-Ahli. One explosion one LIE—and the narrative snapped back. Israel was the villain again just as the world NEEDED, and it has stayed that way since. 2/ Image

🧵FACT: The WHO vaccinated this year 603,000 children under age 10 in Gaza—more children this age than existed pre-war. UN reports 60,000 births in Gaza in 2024—same as pre-war. These are fatal flaws in the Gaza "massive fatality undercount" studies and "genocide" claims: 1/ Image How many children under 10 lived in Gaza before the war? Using 10 years of actual birth data from Palestinian Authority we can estimate very closely. They report ~58,000 births/year in Gaza from 2007–2022 so that's about 580,000 children up to age 10. 2/ pcbs.gov.ps/statisticsIndi…Image

🧵CRITICAL: New study claiming 75,000 violent deaths in Gaza—30,000 more than Hamas reports—is deeply flawed. It is not credible to claim 40% of total deaths went unreported when even Gaza’s MoH admits families overreport deaths for compensation. Plus other flaws. Analysis: 1/ Image Study contradicts itself: it admits Gazans overreport deaths for compensation, even with FALSE claims and bereaved families receive benefits—which a senior MoH official confirmed. But we’re also expected to believe 30,000 deaths weren’t reported by Gazans? It does not add up. 2/ Image

🧵Haaretz has a long record of fabricating or distorting news to push an anti-Zionist agenda. Its publisher, Amos Schocken, admitted the paper sees itself not as a journalistic outlet but as a tool to "shape Israel"—especially for foreign audiences. 1/ honestreporting.com/haaretz-admits… Schocken and many of its editors have long espoused deep anti-Zionist views, desires for Zionism to "collapse" and lauded Palestinian terrorists as freedom fighters–as Schocken did in 2024. He backtracked when called out but this world view permeates every issue. 2/ Image

🧵A new “study” claiming 188,000 Gazan children (out of 377,000 total Gazans) were “disappeared” is easily proven FAKE — because the WHO vaccinated 603,000 children up to age 10 in 2025! This is MORE children this age than pre-war per Palestinian Bureau of Statistics. Detail: 1/ Image WHO has been vaccinating Gazan children in Gaza for polio in multiple rounds for months. This ended in Feb 2025 reaching 603,000 children under age 10, and this was not 100% coverage. This was reported in detail by the WHO, see press release below. 2/ Image
