🧵 A new social media trend has emerged: Palestinians in Gaza are now claiming to be "Holocaust survivors." This appropriation of one of history's darkest chapters needs to be discussed. Here's what's happening: 1/ Following the ceasefire, thousands of Gazans began using the slogan "I am a Holocaust survivor" in their social media posts. Some are using Instagram story stickers declaring themselves "survivors of the Gaza Holocaust."

🧵 Why aren't protesters demanding Hamas accept the Gaza peace plan? A thread about the difference between calls for "ceasefire now" vs. "peace now" and how it reveals the true purpose of anti-Israel protests 👇 1/ Since Oct 7, we've seen endless "ceasefire now" protests. Streets filled with marchers, celebs signing letters, politicians making speeches. But something interesting happened when a real peace plan emerged...

🔴🧵“Destroy the idea of America” — Radical anti-American and pro-terrorist rhetoric at the Detroit People’s Conference for Palestine.

While the pro-terrorist remarks were toned downed from last year, this year saw several inflammatory statements included in this thread 👇 Progressive International research coordinator Sachin Peddada paraphrased terrorist Basil al-Araj, explaining that Israel was a copy of the US and so the idea of America had to be destroyed in the mind of Americans.

🧵If you want to help IDF combat reservists, it’s not in the way you think — because our problems are not what you think. Helping us purchase equipment has been invaluable, but we mostly have the gear we need at this point.

BBQs are very much appreciated, but not essential, as we can cook for ourselves.

Donating to organizations that help with PTSD is important, but most of us don’t have PTSD.

🔴 A terrorist released as part of a ransom in exchange for October 7 Massacre hostages is going to be speaking at a conference in Detroit

Hossam Shaheen will be speaking at the upcoming People's Conference for Palestine, but he's not just a writer👇 Hossam Shaheen was released on February along with other terrorists, serving almost two decades in prison for attempted murder and conspiracy to kill.

Shaheen, after serving as the international coordinator for Fatah's youth movement, was part of the Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade, setting up a cell in east Jerusalem. He recruited and supplied weapons for multiple terrorist attacks.

🔴 Want to know what really happens at Gaza aid sites from someone who spent weeks securing them?

I’ve returned from a third tour in Gaza, and here’s my experience of what really goes on at SDS that is missing from the conversation👇 1️⃣There are real security concerns

Tens of thousands of people come to individual GHF sites each day.
There are immense security and safety challenge associated with so many people descending on a compound in the middle of a war zone. Terrorists have been concealed among them. A charge of hundreds could easily overwhelm soldiers or the aid site. If the aid sites are over run, aid workers could be in danger. If aid seekers over run and take the aid, it would lead to even more hoarding and profiteering, and even Hamas access.

🔴🧵 Colombia appointed a new religious affairs director who appears to have a rabbinical ordination he got at an online store and a doctorate from a mystery institution, and uses his AsAJew status to call Ashkenazi Jews Khazars and Israelis Nazis 👇
While he calls himself Rabbi Dr. Richard Gamboa Ben-Eleazar, these honorifics have very much been cast in doubt as he takes a position that would allow him to regulate the Colombian Jewish communities he appears to despise.

🔴 Mahmoud Khalil's group, Columbia University Apartheid Divest, is more than just a student group -- they think they're revolutionaries. This is not to be dismissed. They seek the destruction of Israel and US, praise October 7 and terrorist orgs, and study terrorist literature👇 CUAD supports armed violence. This statement was part of an apology to a member named Kymani James after they issued what appeared to be an apology on his behalf when he said that Zionists should die.

🔴🧵 A list of western activists and figures who attended Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s funeral: Vancouver resident and Samidoun international coordinator Charlotte Kates. Samidoun is a PFLP front group recently listed as a terrorist entity by Canada. Kates has led popularisation of the slogan “long live October 7.”

🧵 The harsh truth about the hostage deal:

The truth about a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas is that there will be loss and sacrifice regardless of the terms and decisions. The hostages must be returned. Every second a deal is not made and risks their lives and is torture for them and their kin. Their families and loved ones have every right to demand any cost to have them back in their arms or to give them their last respects.

🔴 I’ve just retuned from serving as a reservist infantryman in Gaza for a second time. Here are my ten takeaways from the experience👇 1️⃣ The IDF is winning, but the war isn’t over

Hamas’s capabilities have been severely degraded since last time I was in Gaza. The group seems only able to field tactical attack + PR stunts. That said, without decisive action, this weakness will not translate into victory.

🔴🧵 I failed to properly upload the full speech before the holiday began — here in three segments is the now deleted video of Samidoun member Charlotte Kates’s Friday Vancouver speech, in which she praises terrorist groups and leads the crowd in chants of “long live October 7.”

🔴🧵 Which universities have encampments as of Wednesday?

The encampment protests have spread to several campuses within and outside the United States following a call to action by Students for Justice in Palestine. At Columbia University there is a fast approaching 8:00 deadline to negotiate. According to the Columbia University Apartheid Divest coalition, after the deadline, the administration will bring in the NYPD and National Guard.

🔴🧵 The last few days of demonstrations at Columbia University have revealed a shocking affinity for terrorism, violence, and antisemitism among student activists.

Here are some of the most troubling sentiments and slogans -- which could escalate and appear at other campuses Outside campus gates on Thursday:

"Remember the 7th of October! That will happen not one more time, not five more times, not 10 more times, not 100 more times, not 1000 more times, but 10,000 times!"
"The 7th of October is going to be every day for you."

🔴🧵What has been found at the Shifa hospital so far?

As the goal posts for what constitutes proof continue to be moved even as more Hamas infrastructure is uncovered and cleared for safety, it’s worth reviewing what has been found so far 👇 Today the IDF revealed further tunnels under the Qatari building in the Shifa hospital compound. Video showed tunnels intersecting with underground rooms with air conditioning, toilets, and a kitchen. Rifles, magazines, and drones can be seen gathered from throughout the site.

What is a provocation ritual?

No such ritual exists. Why make it up, and cast Jewish religious practice as aggressive and alien to the setting?

Posts like this are part of the attempt to delegitimize Jewish identity, religion, and history for cynical political gain. The “provocation ritual” is actually the practice of dancing with a Torah, which is done on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, which is a celebration of the Jewish bible and the beginning of a new cycle of readings.

A title only has so much room, and the Washington Post used their precious space to romanticise and downplay the actions of an archterrorist. I’ll never understand the sycophancy that some offer for terrorists.

Want to spread false info on the Internet? A good case study is @cjwerleman's claim that 40% of Palestinian minors detained by Israeli security forces are raped, almost 100% tortured. Emulating this process, you too can also spread false info. Thread >>>

@cjwerleman Your objective is to make a claim that is politically/ideologically useful. But what's useful isn't always supported by reality. How to get useful info? Good false information is based on previous false info, which is as well. You essentially make Matryoshka dolls of false info.

The problems of misinformation and disinformation regarding conflict between Israel and Gaza, are unfolding out of the pages of the New York Times.

The slow leak of corrections also shows the issues with understanding a conflict from the amount of bodies, and without context. The New York Times published a front page with a collage of child casualties of the recent Gaza-Israel conflagration. Slowly, we are discovering errors and misrepresentations in the piece, which actually serves as a microcosm of the information problems with Gaza.
