Война в Газе между Израилем и Хамасом

Тред о «пропорциональности» в международном праве на основе 8 статей Женевской Конвенции (ЖК), где её создатели предусмотрели использование гражданских объектов в войне, как это делал ХАМАС, который усовершенствовал стратегию живого щита

1/ Image ЖК (IV.28) специально отмечает, что присутствие гражданских лиц не делает объекты неуязвимыми для военных действий. Хамас не приобретёт иммунитет, прячась среди гражданских лиц. ЖК принимает концепцию сопутствующего ущерба, если враг сознательно прячется среди гражданских лиц

Justice for terrorism victims

No matter how long, but the @IDF always settles the score

Exactly 3 years ago on this day (August 21, 2021) during the “peaceful March of Return” an unknown Hamas terrorist shot at point blank at an IDF border guard, who later died

A thread 🧵
1/ Image A Border Police officer who was shot and critically wounded during a riot on the Gaza Strip border was 21-year-old Barel Hadaria Shmueli from Be’er Yaakov in central Israel
He was shot in the head at point-blank range during Hamas instigated major clashes along the Gaza border

How an egregious lie is born and then spread like a wildfire on @X in 4 steps and with screenshots of all accounts who jumped on this lie to deliberately spread it and make viral. I am talking about “Lancet has published an article proving there are more than 186,000 death in Gaza as a conservative esitmate”. Anyone who spreads a lie like that is a dishonest person who you should never trust on Israel/Palestine ever

Step 1: take something that used to be a respected journal, like @TheLancet
Step 2: find 3 partisan people (like this letter chief signatory Rasha Khatib who already hates Israel and glorifies murder of Israelis) who will send a letter in a correspondence section

Step 3: pretend it’s an article with peer review (it is not) and not a letter from readers
Step 4: use dishonest agents from ultra left and ultra right accounts (including several UK MPs) who do not care about the truth who pretend it is an article and use it as a reliable source to prove their point

That’s it. All the liars in the next tweets will be added to this thread

Send me those whom I missed to add to the listthelancet.com/journals/lance… First of all, here is the upper part of the Lancet Article that clearly indicated it is a letter from the correspondence section, not a peer-reviewed article, a part that can easily be missed (I missed it when I first opened it and that is what those who spread it want to achieve) and a pure speculations on numbers of casualties (just take what Gaza Ministry of Health reported to the UN and multiple by 4) – screenshots 1&2

Second, here are 2 signatories of this letter who already have anti-Israel bias and should not be considered as a fair and reliable source – screenshots 3&4

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/ Image 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 @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.

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.

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/
