A 2023 NPR report on Gaza's water situation revealed the truth, confirmed in other reports. Private & public desal plants are providing Gazans with clean water, as well as Israeli piped water. Investment in Gaza's desal has been going on for well over a decade pre-war. 2/ 
How many children under 10 lived in Gaza before and during the war? Using 10 years of actual birth data, we can estimate closely. Palestinian authorities report ~58,000 births/year in Gaza from 2007–2022. What about 2023 and 2024? Let’s break it down: 2/
And it’s critical to distinguish deaths from pre-existing conditions that cause wasting vs deaths from literally no food available. 23,000 Americans died of malnutrition in 2023. No one says they were “starved to death”—they had underlying conditions. END
This data corroborates my analysis below that estimated 7,000 male combatants were not placed on ANY LIST by Hamas, to hide their losses. It may be even greater than that. Trump recently confirmed that 25,000 Hamas combatants were killed. 2/
Eli Sharabi recounted his captivity in detail. His “first stop” into Gaza was to a mosque with a tunnel shaft leading to Hamas’ network. Also to apartment in an “ordinary children’s bedroom.” All detailed in this article and his new book “Hostage.” 2/ thefp.com/p/i-was-a-host…
Houthis are a US-designated terrorist group. These were not independent journalists—they were part of the Houthi propaganda arm. No one called ISIS or Al-Qaeda media operatives “journalists.” But with Israel, different rules apply. 2/ 
Reuters photo shows there was active combat here—perhaps a Hamas RPG cell in high rise. UN’s entire thesis collapses with this photo. There is no evidence clinic was hit by IDF. Media reports only cite clinic director who says it was an IDF shell but he was not even there! 2/ 
The entire evidence comes from ABC News media report from Apr 2024 regarding this incident that apparently happened in December 2023—4 months earlier. Clinic director said an Israeli shell hit the clinic but he was not there and does not even know the exact date of incident. 2/ 
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/
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/ 
Geneva is vague on “effective contribution” and “definite military advantage” but we can look to US Law of War Manual for detail. A civilian building that “provides cover to enemy forces” or would “provide a vantage point from which attacks COULD be launched” meets the test. 2/ 
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:
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/
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/ 
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/ 
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/
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/
