🚨Israel's demand of disarming Hamas is a red herring designed to sabotage any ceasefire talks🧵

Hamas has virtually no offensive weaponry left (e.g. rockets, tunnels crossing into Israel)

They have light weaponry (e.g. rifles & anti-tank missiles)

Another Oct 7 is impossible! 2\ Hamas currently does NOT have the capacity to threaten Israel itself (e.g. rockets)

But they DO have the capacity to maintain a long insurgency *inside* Gaza against the IDF (not Israel itself)

Any serious Israeli analyst would tell you the chances of another Oct 7 are zero!

Getting many questions about the demonstrations in Gaza

So here's my full assessment of the protests; their potential & limitations; genuineness & spontaneity vs outside influence; motives & goals; & their ability to actually challenge Hamas or bring the war close to an end🧵 1\ The protests seem to have started spontaneously in small numbers & limited areas. Their grievances are genuine; people are tired, desperate for the genocide to end at any cost, many want Hamas to step down from gov to take away Israel's pretext for the siege & killing

But...

"Pay for slay" is a deeply racist Israeli trope that Palestinians are so deplorable, they'd want to get killed or imprisoned for life only for a few pennies!

The collaborationist Palestinian Authority NEVER paid anyone to attack Israel!

Israel has an identical prisoner fund🧵 2\ The PA paid financial support to Palestinians maimed or detained by Israel & families of those killed

Israel has an identical fund: "Prisoners of Zion & Families of Martyrs". It gives benefits to those imprisoned or killed for "Zionist activity" abroad or in mandate Palestine

🚨🚨Netanyahu violates the ceasefire deal & declares Israel won’t allow displaced Gazans to return to the North today

The agreement👇 clearly says Israe should allow this unrestricted return of 1 million Gazans on day 7 (today) after the release of 7 female hostages (4 today, 3 last Sunday) 2\ Netanyahu is asking now for an additional female hostage, Arbel Yehoud, to be released today before allowing people back to the north

It’s unknown if Arbel is even alive. If she’s dead, it means her body would only be released at the end of phase 1 (as Israel itself demanded)

Yes, can you imagine? Israel would surely NEVER do such thing 🤡

(I've got a whole 🧵 of those barbarians👇)

2\ It became a Tiktok challenge during the genocide for Israeli soldiers to kidnap Palestinians, torture & humiliate them & force them on camera to wave the Israeli flag &/or sing Israel's national anthem

Just read the "research" cited here by an org whose own co-founder called it "a far-right, deeply anti-Muslim racist organisation, run in the most dictatorial, corrupt & undemocratic fashion & utilized as a propaganda outfit".

As expected their report is a fraud🧵 1\ Author's main assumption is Gaza's causality figure is impossible b/c that'd mean Israel is targeting civilians & there's "no evidence" of this.

The ICC prosecutor literally charged Netanyahu with the Crime against Humanity of extermination for deliberately killing civilians!

🚨Israel is aiding ISIS-linked terrorists & criminals to sow chaos & famine in Gaza:

Shadi al-Sofi, a wanted murderer & son of an informant/collaborator with Israel, & Yasser abu Shabab, a drug dealer, are the main warlords responsible for looting most aid under IDF protection.

They formed gangs of over 200 armed criminals & “established a military like compound” (per the UN) in an emptied "death zone" fully under IDF control, where they looted only this Saturday night about 100 aid trucks at once.

This way Israel can absolve itself of responsibility for its deliberate starvation policy in Gaza and say “look, we’re letting aid in, it’s Hamas’ fault that food doesn’t reach people” (as claimed by Senator Jon Fetterman yesterday).

IDF soldiers never fire at those gang members as they loot aid right in front of Israeli tanks & troops in a closed military zone that no Gazan is allowed into. The IDF only fires at local policemen whenever they try to prevent the looting.

Yasser Abu Shabab was arrested by Gaza's local police multiple times in the past for drug smuggling & trading, which is often facilitated by ISIS groups in Sinai.

Hamas militants attempted to eliminate him yesterday in an attack that killed 11 of his gang, including his brother & partner Fathi & the gang's accountant. 30 others were wounded.

Shadi Al-Sofi murdered in 2020 Jabr al-Qeeq, a PLFP member whom Israel had sentenced to life & imprisoned for 15 years for killing al-Sofi's father during the 1st Intifada for spying on Palestinians for Israel.

Al-Sofi was convicted in a Gazan court & the local police captured him in a special operation in late 2020, before he broke out of prison with the help of ISIS-linked militants & was smuggled out of Gaza to Sinai, then reportedly to Israel's Negev. He returned to Gaza with the IDF ground invasion where he now co-leads the criminal gangs that loot aid & sabotage humanitarian work under IDF protection.
2\ This is the moment Gaza' police captured Shadi al-Sofi in 2020 for murdering Jabr al-Qeeq.

Al-Sofi was sentenced to death in court, before militants broke him out of prison & smuggled him into Sinai in 2021, only to return to Gaza 3 years later with the IDF invasion

🚨Israel is systematically RAPING Palestinians, inc children & elderly, as a weapon of war:

2 journalists provide frightening testimonies about how IDF soldiers would randomly select a group of Gazan hostages, unleash dogs to "tear at their skin & flesh", RAPE them & film it🧵 2\ Israeli soldiers beat to a pulp then RAPED a Gazan hostage with a fire extinguisher, emptied inside him until he lost consciousness! Doesn't speak since

Another was stripped naked, soldiers put a dog on top of him to rip his flesh & electrocuted his genitals with high voltage

🚨🚨Israel engineering a famine in Gaza:
The IDF allows armed criminals to attack, loot & block a large portion of the aid shipments to Gaza.

This happens less than 100 meters from Israeli tanks & soldiers, who only fire at Gazan police whenever they try to stop the looting🧵 2\ Creating "looting zones" is Israel's way of saying "look, we're letting aid into Gaza. It's not our fault there's starvation"

These "looting zones" are fully under Israeli control. If any Gaza civilian tries to approach them, they'd be executed immediately. This is deliberate

Mainstream media is deliberately NOT showing us the other side of the Amsterdam clashes; Israeli hooligans attacking local residents, chanting genocidal slogans & vandalising Palestinian flags.

Classic propaganda & disinformation by omission, followed by selective condemnations.
2\ As always, the story for mainstream media begins as soon as Israelis are attacked, never when they attack. They're always THE victim & only victim. Innocents only persecuted b/c of their faith of ethnicity is the classic narrative!

🚨The moment senior IDF officer was eliminated in Jabaliya by Hamas recycling Israel's own unexploded bombs

Colonel Ehsan Daxa was the commander of the IDF's 401st Brigade (see below a list of their savage war crimes🧵)

Most Hamas missiles come from recycling Israeli bombs
2\ The 401st Brigade is responsible for murdering civilians in broad daylight & bragging about it

Here, soldiers boast of bombing unarmed Palestinians with tank shells in Gaza city

When the genocide ends, I can write a giant book on mainstream media journalists who constantly wasted hours & hours of my & my colleagues time to do unrequited toil & collect indisputable evidence for them of Israeli crimes, only to NEVER publish a single word, ever! 2\ Journalist A last Dec: can you send me geolocation, footage from multiple angles, eyewitnesses, dates... of Israel shooting civilians raising white flags?

They never published a word

A few weeks ago same journalist: can you send me more recent incidents, the story is old now

This was Gaza 5 MONTHS before October 7🧵

Western govs & media will always pretend violence starts ONLY whenever Israelis are attacked. That's when history begins!

B/c we are *expected* to be murdered, crippled & dispossessed & keep quiet. That's "peace" to them, that's normal! 2\ This was Gaza 5 MONTHS before Oct 7:
Israel bombs a shelter for people with disabilities & special needs in Jabaliya on May 13, 2023

Did you see any reference to this in a single mainstream media outlet or in a single speech by a US or EU leader?

54% of Palestinians still support October 7 a year later.

The 2 most vital questions are: what do they exactly support? & why? I spent months interviewing dozens of Palestinians on this🧵

1- Support for October 7 does NOT mean support for Hamas or atrocities against civilians

There are currently two October 7s in people's minds; one that Israel and pro-Israeli crowds see of pure evil, which focuses solely on the killing & kidnapping of civilians, omitting everything else.

The other Oct 7 that 54% of Palestinians voice support for, which is the attacks on military targets that broke Israel’s image of invincibility & the "prison break" moment of defeating Gaza's confinement.

90% of the Palestinian supporters of Oct 7 "believe Hamas men did not commit” alleged or documented atrocities from that day (per the source of that poll).

That is b/c Oct 7 is understood to have consisted of 2 waves (something acknowledged by the ICC Chief Prosecutor). The 1st wave was made of elite Hamas "Nukhba" militants & predominantly focused on Israeli military bases surrounding Gaza.

The 2nd wave formed spontaneously once the news broke out in Gaza & anyone with a gun rushed to the fence, including members of 6 other armed factions & non-Nukhba Hamas individuals as well as Gaza’s riff-raffs & hooligans & curious spectators. This wave had no central command, prior plans, coordination, or set goals, which prompted even Hamas’ own Yahia Sinwar to acknowledge that “things went out of control” (per WSJ).

Also, the wave of attacks on Israeli Kibbutzism on October 7 are clouded to many Palestinians by doubt over how much of the atrocity narratives is accurate. This is in light of debuked disinformation Israel’s government deliberately tried to spread as well as Israeli reports of “numerous” incidents of friendly fire & activating the “hannibal protocol” which authorizes the IDF to thwart suspected kidnapping attempts by killing everyone at the scene. Add to this Israel’s strict military censorship over what is allowed to be published. 2- Why do 54% of Palestinians still support Oct 7 a year later?

80% of those Palestinians do so b/c it “has put the Palestinian issue at the center of attention & eliminated years of neglect” (per the poll's source). This sentiment stems from a context of Gazans suffering slow death for 2 decades under Israel's siege while the world looked the other way.

In their support for Oct 7, many Palestinians cite the desperate necessity to disrupt an excruciating 17-year-long siege on Gaza that had already rendered the enclave “uninhabitable” by 2020 & pushed many futureless yet highly educated youth to the brink of suicide.

They also bring up a profound sense of isolation & abandonment that preceded this war where Palestinians’ plight was relegated to the sidelines of international discourse; seen as a mere hurdle on the path to Israeli-Arab normalization, which deepened the fear that Palestinians' suffering would persist indefinitely.

Compounding this was an increased sense of existential threat under Israel’s most far-right government in history, due to rising attacks by Israeli settlers & the IDF across the West Bank, with 2022 and 2023 marking the deadliest years for Palestinians since records began in 2005, and Israel’s largest land theft for settlements in decades.

🚨Israel is arming criminal gangs in Gaza with US-made assault rifles to sow chaos & societal collapse:

Those kids in Deir Al-Balah were armed with M16s that can ONLY enter Gaza through Israel.

They're openly firing their M16s without any fear of Israeli troops 800 meters away! 2\ The US M16 rifles those kids are parading around look very new.

Hamas doesn't smuggle those into Gaza, they use soviet AK-47s rifles.

Similar M16 rifles were reportedly seen with gangs that loot aid trucks & rob homes & civilians.

There's been also 2 major bank robberies.

Deliberately downplaying Israeli atrocities:

A 1,743-word story about IDF soldiers RAPING a Gazan civilian does NOT mention the word "rape" a single time

In passing, the article uses vague language like "violate from behind"

They also omitted important parts of his testimony! 2\ Ibrahim Salem testified earlier that Israeli soldiers raped him & other Gazan civilians kidnapped to the Sde Teiman torture camp, including children.

Most of his testimony here was left out in the CNN article above.

The article deliberately downplays Israel's rape of Salem!

Assassinating Haniya is an empty victory image that reeks of desperation & malevolence.

He was a politician not a militant leader. Israeli media themselves admit his killing will have minimal effect on Hamas' operations.

But it'll dramatically impact internal power dynamics🧵 2\ Haniya lived in the open & NOT in hiding like Sinwar. So reaching his head is NOT an achievement.

Why kill him now?
1- Ruin the ceasefire/prisoner swap negotiations
2- Kill chances of Palestinian unity after Beijing's summit
3- Push Hamas to become more hardline

🚨Israeli soldiers severely gang RAPED a Gazan detainee at the Sde Teiman torture camp.

The case was so extreme, the victim had to be hospitalized & the IDF had to detain 10 reservists!

Israeli ministers are now calling the rapists "holy" & "heroes", demanding their release🧵

2\ Israel's Knesset (currently on summer break) is holding an emergency discussion tomorrow to defend the rapist IDF soldiers who were detained for gang raping a Gazan detainee so severely, he had to be hospitalized.

🚨Extremely important testimonies of Israeli soldiers admitting to unspeakable atrocities in Gaza:
Mass graves; tanks crushing Gazans alive; littering the streets with bodies of civilians, women & children for dogs to feast on; & shooting indiscriminately for fun out of boredom🧵 2\ Soldiers admit the IDF is littering the streets of Gaza with decomposing bodies of murdered children, women & civilians, left for dogs & cats to feast on

When humanitarian convoys come in, IDF bulldozers dump the bodies in mass graves under the rubble to hide the scene...

Folks don't understand the serious brain damage Israel torture at Sde Teiman leaves Palestinians with permanently.

Being blindfolded, handcuffed & muzzled all day long for months under threat of severe torture leads the brain to atrophie & creates serious neurological damage🧵 2\ Sustained stress of enforced isolation & sensory deprivation decreases the size of the hippocampus, the brain region related to learning, memory, & spatial awareness, & "a decrease in the formation of new neurons, & the eventual failure in hippocampal function."

🚨Israel's +972 newspaper reports 6 new cases of IDF soldier RAPING kidnapped Palestinian civilians at the Sde Teiman prison camp & forcing the rest to watch.

The 6th report this year, making these incidents of rape systematic & widespread (i.e. crime against humanity) 🧵 2\ NYTimes reported in June that Israel is RAPING kidnapped Gazans in the Sde Teiman prison camp:

A Gazan died after penetration by an electric stick

A female IDF officer ordered the rape of a senior Gazan nurse

A UN worker forced to sit on a "hot metal stick"
