Fmr Israeli Attorney General Michael Ben-Yair with a harsh rebuke and warning:

"We already lost this war on Oct. 7th. Since then our loss has only deepened. Already in its second day, this war was a war of revenge with no purpose and no path forward. >>>🧵

Lie after lie after lie.

Israel’s control of Gaza after 2005 is either an occupation or a siege.

Israel built over 140 settlement outposts since between 1992-2012

The dual-legal system and project of dispossessing Palestinians preceded the intifadas.

🧵>> “The @Geneva_Academy has said “the majority of international opinion” holds that Israel maintains effective control, even without armed forces present.”

However “some experts have found that “siege” better describes the situation.”

The price of integrating settler terrorists into the IDF:

Left: Doron Kastlemen, heroically neutralized two terrorists in Jerusalem attack.

Right: Aviad Farij, a settler terrorist Hilltop Youth, integrated into the IDF murdered Doron thinking he was Palestinian. 🧵>>

TW: You can see clearly in this video how Aviad fatally shoots Doron despite him posing no threat raising his hands begging him not to shoot.

This was a summary execution. >>

So @emilykschrader has threatened to sue me for defamation unless I delete this.

It’s scary to be threatened by someone who has much more influence and resources than you.

I won’t be intimidated. Here’s a 🧵 of Emily telling Palestinians their lived experience isn’t real:

Here’s Emily telling Palestinians their lived experience of victimhood in 1948 is not real.

According to Emily, even commemorating the Nakba is offensive.

On July 26th, 2014 the Israeli Air Force bombarded the Al-Burrah neighborhood of Beit Hanoun killing 8 members of the Wahdan Family.

My IDF unit had just spent almost a week clearing the neighborhood during which we found the family.

Here's what I know:
🧵 I remember hearing about the soldiers who had found a family in one of the houses. I remember thinking that it was a miracle they hadn’t been killed by the live fire we used to clear each house we entered.

This is me before entering Gaza. Image

There’s a chance that communal leaders in the diaspora will soon be contacted by Israel’s new Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli. Before partnering with Chikli, you might want to know that he believes the conflict will only be solved by erasing Palestinian identity. 1/5 The above photo is from the Knesset website by Noam Moshkovi The quote was taken from a podcast episode Chikli did with Omri Casspi from minute 15:00 (hebrew)


This is just one of many reprehensible racist anti-Palestinian Chikli has said or done in recent years. 2/5

Here’s Itamar Ben-Gvir & Rabbi Dov Lior, the official rabbi of the Jewish Power party, celebrating the election victory. Ben-Gvir has strategically downplayed ties to the infamous Rabbi Meir Kahane, yet the genocidal views of the lesser-known Lior are just as bad if not worse. Image As the supreme religious authority of Ben-Gvir’s Jewish Power party, Rabbi Lior is now perhaps one of the most powerful rabbis in Israel. You don’t need to look as far back to Ben-Gvir’s ties to Rabbi Kahane who was killed in 1990 to understand how dangerous he is. Image
