1/8 During the Gaza war, Palestinian women faced a horror no one talked about.
They were sexually exploited by Palestinian men, some posing as aid workers, who demanded sex in exchange for food, medicine, or shelter. 🧵👇 Image 2/8 After months of hunger and chaos, women who had lost their homes and families said local men approached them with “offers of help.”
Some promised jobs, others offered food or medicine - but there was a catch - only in return for sexual favors. Image

1/8 Palestinians have faced displacement not only in 1948 and 1967. Arab states themselves expelled and restricted them brutally yet no one ever talks about it. From Jordan to Kuwait, Syria to Lebanon, here’s a forgotten history 🧵 Image 2/8 After 1948, hundreds of thousands fled to Jordan. By 1970, tensions with the monarchy erupted: the PLO had militias, taxed locals, and even tried to assassinate King Hussein. Jordan responded with force. Image

You may have seen headlines claiming that “leading genocide experts” have officially declared Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

But who exactly are these “experts”? And how reliable is this statement?

Let’s break it down 🧵 Image 2/15
The claim comes from a vote by the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS).

Sounds official, right?

But it turns out you can join the group by filling out a simple form and paying $30. No credentials required. Image

🚨 @amnesty International presents itself as a neutral humanitarian watchdog. But its record tells another story. From Gaza to Israel to Ukraine, Amnesty’s double standards reveal a pattern of bias that undermines its credibility. 🧵 Image 2/11
In 2022, Amnesty published a 280-page report branding Israel an “apartheid state.” Critics across the political spectrum noted it erased Jewish history, ignored security threats, and relied on one-sided claims. Image

Let’s start with the academic term "Islamofascism". This term, which is used in 27 languages to describe Islamist movements like al-Qaeda and their fascist traits, was nominated for deletion.

Life for minorities in Gaza is rarely discussed.
Minority groups such as LGBTQ+ Palestinians, Black Palestinians, and Christian Palestinians face discrimination, intimidation, and even violence. This is what their lives look like 🧵 Image 2/8
LGBTQ+ Palestinians live under constant threat. Same-sex relations between men are illegal with up to 10 years in prison. But beyond the law, Hamas has brutally persecuted suspected gay men, with documented cases of executions, including being thrown from rooftops. Image

Mainstream outlets paint a picture of mass starvation in Gaza. But does the evidence actually back it up?
We dug into some of the most-shared stories and images. 🧵 Image 2/9
While the struggle in Gaza is real and serious, recent high-profile cases raise questions about how some of these images and stories are produced, and whether the famine is as real as it’s presented.

1/12 What do Judaism, Shinto, and the Druze faith have in common?

They’re traditions you’re born into - not ones you choose. They bind people through blood, belief, and belonging.

Some are ancient, some are secretive, and a few might surprise you.🧵 Image 2/12 Judaism:
One of the oldest and most resilient ethno-religions.
To be Jewish is to share a faith and a peoplehood - language, law, culture, and memory.
Conversion is possible, but Jewish identity is primarily passed down through birth and lineage. Image

⚠ TW: Sexual Violence.
The most detailed report on the sexual crimes committed during & after the Oct 7 massacre is out.
The Dinah Project reveals Hamas terrorists used rape, gang rape & sexual torture systematically.

While the world says Hamas terrorists just “killed” civilians, they forget to mention that:
They raped women. In some occasions, they were gang-raped them.
They mutilated their genitals.
They shot them in the vagina, breasts, and face.
They burned their naked bodies.
They bragged about it.
And they filmed it.

The "Gaza famine" that dominated headlines for months was based on USAID data so flawed that UN experts called it "insupportable." USAID left out 82% of the food supply and 2 million pounds of donated flour. The real story is shocking. Via @TheFP🧵 Image 2/11
In early 2024, major outlets declared Gaza was starving.
The New Yorker: "Gaza Is Starving."
Washington Post: "Israel's War on Hamas Brings Famine to Gaza."
Then USAID director Samantha Power became the first senior U.S. official to declare famine had begun. Image

1/10 The Gaza conflict reveals a troubling reality: Western diplomats invoke "international law" selectively, creating rules that don't exist elsewhere while extending the suffering they aim to prevent. Let's explore the double standards. 🧵 Image 2/10 European leaders insist Israel must allow all aid in, keep Gaza's borders unchanged, and prevent Palestinians from leaving. They call these "legal requirements" - but these rules don't actually exist in international law. Image

1/12 After the establishment of Israel in 1948, nearly 900,000 Jews were ethnically cleansed in Arab countries. This massive forced migration - often involving violence and complete asset seizures - remains largely forgotten while the Palestinian refugee crisis dominates historical narratives. 🧵Image 2/12 As Israel was established in 1948, many Arab governments used it as justification to target their Jewish citizens. Communities that had existed for over 2,000 years were uprooted through legal discrimination, violence, and forced expulsions. Image

First, remove all inconvenient photos. Those images of missiles in children's rooms? Gone. Because nothing screams 'neutrality' like erasing visual proof. Evidence is just too... obvious.
