Many Twitter (X) users noticed accounts that popped up recently having 🔻 emoji used either in Twitter names or in the comment section

This is Hamas’ insignia and whoever uses it wants you to know they are specifically pro-Hamas supporters

Let’s talk about it

A thread 🧵👇🏼 1/ Initially the emoji was used by Hamas early in the ground offensive (early November) to show propaganda videos of Hamas members shooting RPG at Israeli tanks & soldiers

Usually the videos zoomed in & provided a clearer image of a target, signified by pointing this 🔻 3 times 2/

Продолжение треда со вчерашнего дня
За 30 часов стала немного более понятна картина и она ужасна

На данный этап подтверждено, что погибло 350+ гражданских и 26 военных, а ещё 30 полицейских (все цифры будут ещё расти), еще идут бои в нескольких местах, где окопались хамасовцы 1/

Армия и полиция сообщают о потерях с большой задержкой всегда, такой у нас протокол, так как армия всегда извещает родных и близких после всех согласований, и публикует данные о погибших
По гражданским информацию дают госпитали, поэтому по ним цифры становятся известны быстрее 2/

Краткое описание того, что происходит (и ещё идёт на самом деле) и, возможно, будет дальше

В районе 5:30 утра палестинские террористические организации Хамас и Исламский Джихад совместно провели крупнейшую военную операцию, когда их члены пересекли границу в десятках мест 1/ Они убили какое-то количество солдат на границе, точно взорвали один танк, захватили несколько военных джипов и амуниции, они точно похитили убитых солдат и «возможно» похитили какое-то количество живых солдат. Рядом с Газой был фестиваль, куда члены Хамас приехали на джипах 2/

A very brief recap and a timeline of events that are emerging in Russia and are already called “Wagner’s coup”

For those who don’t follow the events in Russian-Ukrainian war, here is a short summary about Wagner & its position among Russian military and paramilitary orgs

Thread 1. Wagner was established years ago by “Putin’s cook” Evgeny Prigozhin. Here is my thread from 2018 about him and a background information about his org. In a nutshell - he runs a private military corporation that joined Russian Ukrainian war in April 2022 and was used by 1/

The whole (5:32 seconds) speech given to inmates in one of the prison camps by a so-called “Putin’s cook” Evgeny Prigozhin - owner of a private mercenary company “Wagner”. He personally recruits inmates in Russian prisons all over the country for a couple of months. Part 1/3 Part 2/3

The @AlJazeera journalist Shirin Abu Aqleh was wounded and died earlier today in Jenin where @idf fought Palestinian military factions in a heavy gunfire. There is a graphic footage of the aftermath (2nd tweet), it seems she was caught in a crossed fire
timesofisrael.com/veteran-al-jaz… She wore the “Press” vest as seen in the video. Israel offers joint autopsy and investigation of the cause and claims it may be she was killed by Palestinian fire. However accidental killing by IDF is not ruled out, but some already jumped to a conclusion

Today Russian @mfa_Russia has officially replied on its telegram channel to @yairlapid statement that you see below and this reply deserves to be translated and posted in full. A long thread with full translation below, link to the source in the end 👇🏼

We paid attention to the anti-historical statements of Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, which largely explain the course of the current Israeli government to support the neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv. The Israeli minister said literally the following: “The Jews did not destroy 1/

I have translated and added subtitles to the latest video speech by Vladimir Putin from two hours ago. Please don’t let it go in vain - I want everyone to see what a speech of true fascism looks like.

No further comment needed, it’s all here, in his speech For clarification if anyone is not familiar with the term, here is what “Fifth column mean”:

Since people do not understand how awful and misleading @Mastercard and @Visa decisions are, I want to expose them and show that they are not helping the Putin’s regime, but inadvertently (I hope so) helping it. A thread (please spread): 0/11

reuters.com/business/finan… First - a disclaimer. I have a bank account in Russia from when I worked there more than 14 years ago, but I’m not using it and it has about 300 dollars, I have bank accounts in other countries and they are all fine and working, so I am not directly affected by this measure.

I had to see this thread by myself to believe it’s real. It is.
There are several important legal matters this thread raises:
1. Does CAIR has an authority to decide if embassy moving is legal or not per American law? If so, from which legal document this authority stems? 1/

2. According to your thread you believe mentioning “Islamism” aka “Islamic fundamentalism” - a political ideology that in some branched like Wahhabism or Qutbism calls for violence - is islamophobia. Is it your official position? Do you support Islamism officially? 2/

Let’s clarify something. Kerry indeed leaked sensitive intelligence to Iran when he was not authorized to do it as he was not in the office anymore. This information was not in a public domain when Kerry revealed it. Let’s examine the sequence of events. A short thread: 👇🏼 Kerry met with Zarif around April 20, 2018 and held other “shadow diplomacy” meetings with senior Iranian officials. According to a recently leaked recording of Javad Zarif, it is when the information about 200 strikes was mentioned to him by Kerry.

Check out the article below. It outlines few current issues Jews face, when #IHRA definition of antisemitism, the most profound one, is applied. Critics bring straw arguments like “it doesn’t allow to criticize Israel without being called antisemitic” which is simply not true. 1/

Jews are told they cannot define hate against them, because, you know, modern activists claim modern Jews do not have any empirical experience in surviving antisemitism, xenophobia, or racism since those are matters of the past and today Jews live privileged lives. Ridiculous? 2/

A Soviet and Russian’s most famous satirist and performer of Jewish origin has died today in Moscow. Mikhail Zhvanetsky (86) was known in Russia for his sharp aphorisms and satire always directed at powerful ones.
21 notable aphorisms down below: 1. We are smarter than those we choose.
2. Human life is a moment, but how many troubles.
3. If you argue with an idiot, then he probably does the same.
4. Alcohol in small doses is harmless in any quantities.
5. The history of Russia is a struggle between ignorance and injustice

Amazingly crazy developing story of how you will be attacked by a extreme pro-Palestinian activists if you step one millimeter away from their worldview. You can start it by yourself from this tweet, or I will share screenshots of how it went to get to this in a thread below. 1/

Basically, it shows why there is a fallacy in logic (namely, an argument to moderation) of those who say, that Israel and Jews can negotiate with organizations and/or people who support the BDS. It is practically impossible and let me explain you why. If one supports BDS, one 2/

Lately everyone is talking about #JewishPrivilege and how “white Ashkenazi Jews” benefited from such privilege. I have decided to take a step back and to look closely at those “white Ashkenazi Jews”. Since majority of Jews who are talking about such privilege are US Jews, 1/ I want to share with them something, that they may not know about their own ancestors. Of course you all heard about numerous atrocities that Jews had to endure throughout centuries, inquisition, expulsions, genocides, raping, libels and many others. You name it. 2/

My #JewishPrivilege... oh, where do I begin? It’s a history of a Pale of Settlement privilege.

1) Members of my family (some will never get their names back) were killed in pogrom in Malin in April 1919. All my grandpa remembers is that his great-grandparents were killed in it. Who else? He doesn’t know. His parents remember, but we will get to their privilege later. My grandma vaguely remembered her relatives were killed in another pogrom in Proskurov in 1919. But who, how, when, and where they were buried? We don’t know already.

Director of Information and Press Department of Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova on her press conference 2 days ago about #MH17 (airplane, downed by proRussian militia with a help of Russian Buk) has mentioned a new book, written about this tragedy in Malaysia. Zakharova has also mentioned that “Russian experts contributed in making it”. So another Russian researcher Vadim Lukashevich managed to find this book to find out which version was used there. And he was in total awe. Please look at the very bottom of it. [next tweet]

@Claire_Voltaire has started this hashtag: #NotYourDhimmi.

I want to make a short thread on a story that shows how Jews were degraded and made inferior to Muslims after the conquest of MENA by Islamic conquerors. It’s a story of Keffiyehs. You will tell me: but wait, Michael, aren’t keffiyehs Arabic garments worn by them as part of their national attire? There is also one named Palestinian keffiyeh and popularized by Yassir Arafat. That is correct. And yet its origin is not that straightforward.

Looked out of my window in Israel and it feels like a rain is comign.
