THREAD: 1/
Israel is bombing Lebanon. The Lebanese government is threatening to disarm Palestinians. Refugees in camps like Shatila are bracing for another war.

Sound familiar? It should.🧵
mondoweiss.net/2025/05/palest… 2/
Palestinians in Lebanon are watching history repeat itself in real time. The old lie—“It’s just Hamas”—is being used to justify the same thing it always does: dismantling refugee camps and erasing the idea of return.

THREAD: Gaza is being starved. By Israel.

The UN World Food Programme just delivered its last food supplies to Gaza.

Gaza is out of food.

Because Israel has sealed the borders for more than 7 weeks. WFP-backed hot meal kitchens were Gaza’s only reliable food source.

They only met 25% of daily needs—but they kept people alive.

Now they’re out of food. In a matter of days, they’ll go dark too.

THREAD; 1/
Gaza was an open-air prison long before Oct 7.

For 17 years, Israel controlled Gaza’s land, air, and sea — and sealed 2 million people inside. 🧵 2/ No one could enter or leave without Israeli permission.

That meant no freedom of movement, no access to clean water, and only a few hours of electricity a day.

🚨 NEW from the Palestinian NGO Network (PNGO): Gaza has entered a full-blown famine.
Israel is deliberately starving 2 million people — bombing bakeries, blocking food, and cutting off water. This is not a crisis. It’s genocide. A thread 🧵 According to PNGO:
🚨 91% of Gaza’s population faces crisis-level food insecurity

🚨 345,000 people are in Phase 5 — the most extreme stage of famine

🚨 60,000 children urgently need treatment for malnutrition

THREAD: Israel has bombed al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, forcing its final evacuation and complete shutdown.

This hospital was one of the last functioning in the north. Now it's gone.

A thread on Israel’s war on Gaza’s healthcare system 🧵 2/
Al-Ahli was struck overnight by Israeli missiles. A child died during the evacuation.

This isn’t just an attack on a building — it’s an attack on survival. It’s part of a deliberate campaign to erase Gaza’s medical infrastructure.

THREAD: WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT.

Over 200 Palestinian journalists have been killed for exposing the genocide. Corporate media stays silent.

We don’t. 2) At Mondoweiss, we tell the truth about Israeli apartheid, U.S. complicity, and the Palestinian struggle for freedom—unfiltered and unapologetic.

But we can’t keep going without you.

THREAD:

Ahmad Manasra, a Palestinian boy detained by Israeli authorities at just 13 years old, has finally been released after nearly 10 years in prison. He's now 23.

His story is one of trauma, systemic abuse—and global outrage. 🧵 2/
Ahmad was arrested in 2015 after being accused of stabbing Israeli settlers in the illegal Pisgat Ze’ev settlement in occupied East Jerusalem. His cousin, 15, was fatally shot on the spot. Ahmad was run over and left bleeding on the ground by Israeli settlers.

THREAD: Israel targeted a journalist we work with in an airstrike and claimed he is a Hamas fighter.

This is why you should never believe anything Israel says. 🧵 2/
Our colleague Hassan Eslayeh was injured in an Israeli airstrike that killed another journalist and set a media tent on fire. Israel says he’s a Hamas militant.
He’s not.

He’s a journalist — and they knew it.

THREAD: International law wasn’t built to protect Palestine. It was built to contain it.
The system isn’t failing — it’s working exactly as designed. 🧵 /2

For over 75 years, “international law” has watched Israel occupy, colonize, bomb, and starve Palestinians — while offering nothing but non-binding resolutions.

The ICJ, ICC, UN — all tools with rules, but no power when it counts.

THREAD: “Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East.”

This phrase is repeated like gospel in the West — but it’s a myth. A thread debunking it 👇👇👇 2/
First off: Israel rules over millions of people who can’t vote.

Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem live under Israeli occupation, siege, or annexation — without any say over the government that controls their lives.

That’s not democracy.

THREAD: 1/ Why does China refuse to call Hamas a terrorist group?

Why does Chinese youth call Gaza fighters “dandelions”?

Read how China went from almost allying with Israel to becoming one of Palestine’s strongest voices. 2/
From 1950 to 1976, Mao’s China saw Palestine as the frontline of global anti-imperialism.

China trained fighters, printed pro-Palestine children’s books, and translated Ghassan Kanafani.
It was revolutionary solidarity, not just diplomacy.

🚨 Another massacre.

Israeli forces have bombed an UNRWA medical clinic in the Jabalia refugee camp, killing at least 22 Palestinians, including women and children, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office. 2/
Let’s be clear: this was intentional.

This clinic was a known humanitarian facility run by the United Nations. Israel deliberately targeted it, fully aware it was sheltering displaced civilians seeking medical help.

🧵 Yemen is trying to stop a genocide.
The U.S. is bombing them for it.
This isn’t opinion — it’s international law. 1. Yemen placed a targeted blockade in the Red Sea — stopping weapons & supplies headed to Israel during its assault on Gaza.

It worked: it choked off over 80% of Israeli port activity at Eilat.

🧵 While Gaza is being destroyed, Israel’s parliament is quietly passing apartheid laws against Palestinians inside Israel and across occupied Palestine. Here’s what they just did: 1. A bill that passed its first reading would ban Palestinians from running in local elections if they reject Israel as a “Jewish and democratic state” — or support what Israel labels “terrorism” (which can mean any form of resistance).

20% of Israel’s population is Palestinian.

1/THREAD: Israel just announced a new government agency to manage the “voluntary emigration” of Palestinians from Gaza.

Translation: ethnic cleansing with a bureaucratic face.
Here’s why it won’t work—and never has. 🧵 2/
The plan is being overseen by Israel’s Defense Ministry.
The goal? Build infrastructure and “legal” channels to remove Palestinians from Gaza—permanently.
It’s endorsed by far-right officials like Bezalel Smotrich, who openly supports expulsion.

THREAD: An Israeli government conference on antisemitism is falling apart...because they invited too many actual antisemites.

Yes, really. 🧵 2/ The "International Conference on Combating Antisemitism" was supposed to be a PR win for Israel. Instead, it turned into a masterclass in Zionist hypocrisy. Even some of Israel’s most loyal defenders are backing out.

1/ THREAD
Israel is assassinating journalists in Gaza — and Western media’s silence enables it.

On March 24, Israel killed two more reporters: Hossam Shabat and Mohammad Mansour.

This isn’t “crossfire.” This is a kill list. 🧵 2/

This isn’t new. Since October 2023, Israel has killed at least 208 Palestinian journalists.

Let’s say that again: 208. Killed by the Israeli military.

🚨Ceasefire Update: Israel & U.S. Bail on Their Own Deal, Media Blames Hamas

Here’s what’s really happening:🧵 Israel has cut off all aid to Gaza and is threatening Hamas with “consequences” for refusing to accept a new U.S.-backed proposal—despite Israel already violating the original ceasefire agreement.

1/ THREAD WEST BANK UPDATE: Another night of brutal Israeli invasions across the occupied West Bank. Palestinians in multiple towns and villages were assaulted, detained, and displaced by Israeli forces and settlers. Here’s what happened. 🧵👇 2/ Israeli forces stormed the town of al-Issawiya, near occupied East Jerusalem, assaulting residents. Meanwhile, in Salfit, soldiers raided the home of former Palestinian prisoner Saeed Shtayeh and forcibly displaced his family—just days after he was released.

1/ Hamas just announced a delay in releasing captives scheduled for next weekend, citing Israel’s obstruction of aid—blocking the entry of tents and rebuilding material into Gaza.🧵 2/ Hamas says this obstruction is “a new war” on Gaza, escalating tensions amid the fragile ceasefire deal.

THREAD🧵1/ Thanksgiving is marketed as a time for gratitude, but its roots lie in genocide. As Americans celebrate on stolen Indigenous land, their taxes fund another genocide abroad—in Gaza, where Palestinians are being slaughtered by Israel. 2/ The holiday myth erases the reality: Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the brutal genocide of Native Americans—massacres, land theft, and forced displacement that paved the way for the so-called American Dream.
