Today in Anti-Israel Propaganda History: Tuvia Grossman, the Bloodied "Palestinian"

On Sep. 30, 2000, an image of a bloodied “Palestinian” teenager crouching in front of a club-wielding Israeli policeman made headlines in the NY Times, AP, & other major media outlets.

THREAD The caption, “An Israeli policeman and a Palestinian on the Temple Mount,” implied that the Israeli policeman was the cause for this unknown “Palestinian’s” battered state.

On this day 15 years ago, Michael Levin of blessed memory was killed during the Second Lebanon War.

(Thread) Mickey, as he was known by his friends, was born in Philadelphia in 1984 and at age 19 decided to leave all his friends and family behind to enlist as a lone soldier in the IDF's Paratroopers Brigade.

HERO!

Yossi Amar, a soldier in the IDF's Kfir Brigade, was waiting at a bus stop when a terrorist jumped out at him, pepper-sprayed his eyes, and tried to steal his gun.

But despite the unexpected attack, Yossi managed to fight off the terrorist and beat him into submission. Yossi recounted:

"I was standing at a bus stop near Nebi Musa. The terrorist, 30 years old and well built, took me by surprise. He pepper-sprayed my eyes and then tried to steal my weapon.

My cell phone flew out of my hands and my gun magazine broke.

Remembering Avraham (Yair) Stern

THREAD Avraham Stern was born in Poland in 1907 and immigrated to the Holy Land at the age of 18. Stern excelled in classical languages & literature studies at Hebrew U and was awarded a scholarship to the University of Florence. Upon returning to Israel in 1929, he joined the Haganah.

Remembering Natan Elbaz, a hero of Israel.

THREAD Natan was born in Morocco in 1932 and immigrated to the fledgling State of Israel by himself at the age of 18 in order to join the IDF.

On this day two years ago, 19-year-old Ori Ansbacher of blessed memory was savagely raped and murdered by a wicked Palestinian Arab terrorist.

May Ori's memory be a blessing. Following the horrific murder, Ori's mother said these words:

“It’s important for us that the world knows who Ori was. Ori was a child of light, who added so much light to the world.

This is how the 'delegitimization from within' phenomenon works (THREAD):

Step 1: A radical Israeli NGO, like @btselem, is widely discredited and rejected by Israeli society.

Step 2: Due to their lack of support in Israel, these NGOs turn to European governments for support and receive millions of dollars in European government funding every year.

This Day in Israeli History: “The Greatest Jail Break in History”

On May 4, 1947, the Irgun (Etzel) undertook one of their most daring missions ever when they busted into the Acre Prison and freed 27 members of the Jewish Underground.

THREAD Led by Dov "Shimshon" Cohen, Irgun members disguised themselves as British soldiers and blew up the southern wall of the prison. The explosion rocked the prison and gave the signal to the prisoners to start escaping. Meanwhile, 34 Irgun members attacked the prison.

On this day last year, 19-year-old Ori Ansbacher of blessed memory was savagely raped and murdered by a wicked and vile Palestinian Arab terrorist.
