Israel lies pathologically!
A🧵of dozens of conclusively debunked Israeli gov lies since Oct 7, off the top of my head

1- The IDF blatantly claimed this underground WATER TANK was a "Hamas tunnel" their ground troops discovered at the Qatari hospital in Gaza on Nov 5 2023

Mainstream media put it in headlines immediately despite experts challenging this lie with detailed maps of the room

In February, local journalists were finally able to access the area & debunk the lie

The IDF knew exactly what this shaft was back in Nov b/c their troops inspected it on the ground, but they lied deliberately to pave the way for raiding, besieging, bombing, & destroying almost every single hospital in Gaza 2\ Bombing fleeing refugees: Israel bombed a convoy of Gazans fleeing south on the very "safe road" they ordered to go through, killing over 70 on Oct 13.

Israel immediately denied bombing the convoy & said it was Hamas.

Financial Times found Israel was lying.
The damage was consist with an Israeli airstrike!

🚨Hostages are having their legs amputated from being zip-tied by all 4 limbs for months; they're being forced to defecate in diapers & fed through straws.

Those are Gazan hostages at Israel's Sde Teiman "concentration camp", so you won't see one word about it in Western media🧵 Image 2\ Wherever the IDF goes in Gaza, they mass arrest surviving men & children from the age of 15

IDF soldier force kidnapped Gazans to strip down to their underwear on camera & put them on trucks to the Sde Teiman military base in the Negev that Israelis call a concentration camp! Image

Israel's own Physicians for Human Rights dismissed these interrogation videos as propaganda b/c they included the use of torture

This "confession" isn't new. It was reported in Jan & Israel's police failed to match his description with an actual victim

Video is mistranslated🧵 2\ Manas says "we woke up to the sound of rockets", but here it's translated into that "[I] went to the command & control centre" to make him sound part of a militant plan

He basically says his friend spontaneously suggested they cross the fence to see what was happening Image

Last Friday was Ali’s birthday;my closest friend slaughtered by Israel

Ali always hated his birthdays & was pained by them b/c they reminded him of his life being stolen before his eyes by Israel’s siege & periodic wars no matter how hard he tried to live

He’s now forever young Image 2\ Ali was the kindest & most thoughtful & talented person I know

He didn’t ask for much in life; only to see the world for once behind Israel’s walls of confinement & to afford to fall in love & start a family…

He was close to realising his dreams before Israel killed him

Israel is surgically & methodically assassinating anyone that tries to ensure the safe distribution of aid in Gaza & prevent looting & chaos

In 72 hours, Israel killed 3 top police officials, 24 social workers, & a prominent tribal leader who all worked on securing aid convoys🧵

Image
Image
Image
2\ At al-Shifa hospital, Israel executed Brig. Gen Fayeq al-Mabhouh right after he succeeded in securing the entry of 2 aid convoys all the way to the very North of Gaza without looting or chaos for the 1st time in over 160 days (in collaboration with community leaders & the UN) Image

Today, Israel bombed one of my closest friends, Abd al-Rahman Hamada, after 158 days of starving & terrorizing him

Abd was one of Gaza's top programmers & most brilliant minds. He was one of the sweetest & most decent people I've ever met

He had gotten married only months ago
Image
Image
2\ Earlier in the war, Israel bombed Abd al-Rahman's brother & uncle, then in-laws, then his home & today they slaughtered him & his father

In our last conversation, Abd spoke of the impossibility of finding food, the pain of loss & starvation, & the stench of death all around Image

You be the judge: how is this not a genocide?

The IDF wiping Khan Younis (Gaza's 2nd largest city) off the face of the earth🧵

(Genocide includes: "Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part")

For the millionth time: a ceasefire ≠ another Oct 7

Israeli experts themselves say Oct 7 was all about “the stupidity, arrogance & negligence of the Israeli army & gov than about sophistication & danger on the part of Hamas”

Another Oct 7 is virtually impossible🧵 Image 2\ On Oct 7, there were 23 IDF battalions gaurding settlers in the West Bank & *only 3 IDF battalions* guarding the Gaza envelop.

Surveillance balloons were down & unmaintained.

All intelligence reports & red flags were ignored.

Kibutzes unprotected

Dozens more of mistakes...

Before yesterday's "Flour Massacre", the IDF has been shooting indiscriminately for WEEKS at starved Gazans awaiting aid trucks at the exact same spot, virtually every single day!

A 🧵of some of these incidents:

Feb 28: IDF soldiers take potshots at famished desperate Gazans 2\ Feb 27: A child shot in the abdomen by IDF soldiers at the Rasheed street while waiting for aid trucks

Starved Gazans go to that street everyday with the hope of encountering an aid truck coming in, the IDF sprays them with bullets EVERY SINGLE DAY

The burden of proof is on Israel to show evidence that these underground servers were used by Hamas for military purposes & NOT to store & secure the data of the local civil government & public universities to protect national data from Israel's periodic bombing of gov facilities 2\ Israel's claim is that the alleged tunnel under UNRWA's headquarters was a mere "data center" & NOT a military "command & control" centre or an attack tunnel

Israel needs to prove such data centre had a security/military value to be a legitimate target

Israeli students chase their history teacher & yell at him "cancer" & "son of a whore" b/c he dared to humanize Gazan & Palestinian civilians

Meir Baruchin was fired from his job & jailed in solitary confinement last November for this, but was just reinstated by a labour court🧵 2\ These are some of the Facebook posts that got Israeli history teacher Meir Baruchin fired & jailed in solitary confinement & demonized in mainstream media👇

All for posting pictures of Palestinians killed by Israel with the caption "bombed/executed by our excellent guys".

🚨Israel is holding thousands of Gazans hostage in the Sde Teiman "Concentration Camp" (as some Israelis call it)

Put in cages, starved, tied, blindfolded, tortured, per an IDF soldier that gave a harrowing testimony

Red Cross is NOT given ANY access to the site

Several died🧵 Photo source: Haaretz 2\ The IDF reservist gave his full testimony here in Hebrew:

"The detainees in the Sde Teiman compound are kept in sort of cages, about 70-100 detainees in each facility... aged 18 to around 60.

There's also a geriatric cage... I had seen people aged 75"

Israel’s founder begs to differ!
“We [Israelis] are the aggressors & [Palestinians] defend themselves. The country is theirs. They inhabit it”.

“If I were an Arab leader, I’d NEVER sign an agreement with Israel”

Ben Gurion would’ve been shocked by your shameless gaslighting!
Image 2\ The Arabs NEVER rejected peace in 1948

They repeatedly offered a 1 state solution with equal citizenship to all

Zionist leaders opted to create Israel, inc. by ethnic cleansing

Palestinians only rejected the partition of their homeland & losing 51% of it to a minority Image

My thoughts on the rape allegations🧵
I fully support an impartial international investigation & oppose out of hand denialism!

There's a range of crucial questions & uncertainties to answer (some raised by Israeli scholars) in order to make a "weaponization of rape" conclusion👇 Image 2\ Question 1: What is the compelling evidence alleged rape incidents were used as "a weapon of war"?

To establish "weaponization" of alleged rape rather than individual incidents, 2 prerequisites need to be fulfilled.

That it was *both*
a) Premeditated/instructed
b) Systematic Image

Israel's assassination of Saleh Arouri is a major event🧵

Arouri is known for being a central figure in arming West Bank Hamas militants, but he was even more central in pushing towards intra-Palestinian reconciliation & elections. He was a main contender to become Hamas' chief. Image 2\ In recent years, Arouri developed a close relationship with ex-PA Major General Jibril Rajoub, Fatah's Central Committee Secretary General.

The two pushed for general elections & Palestinian unity despite opposition from other leaders in both groups

🚨Extremely dangerous: Israel's assault & siege on Gaza created perfect conditions for the breeding of "Treatment-Resistant" deadly fungus that killed 1 IDF soldier & infected 10 others

This disease can soon spread locally & beyond...

PS. Israel destroyed Gaza's health system🧵 Image 2\ Per Haaretz, Israeli experts acknowledge the siege & war are creating an incubator for the spread of dangerous diseases.

Gaza's overcrowded, bombed & besieged hospitals are unable to diagnose patients, let alone treat such diseases

A catastrophe has arrived with this fungus! Image

Israel's Channel 12 once hosted a Palestinian Peace Icon, coincidentally the moment his family were bombed & killed by the IDF in 2009

1000s of Israelis attacked the channel for daring to host him!

Others stormed the hospital & interrupted his pro-coexistence press conference🧵 2\ Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish was the 1st Palestinian doctor to work in an Israeli hospital. He "delivered more Jewish babies in [Israel] than any other Jewish obstetrician" & speaks Hebrew fluently.

That wasn't enough to see him as human the day his family were killed!

Israel killed Prof. Refaat al-Areer, one of Gaza's most prominent writers, poets & activists who spent his life trying to get Gaza's voice to the outside world.

He was killed in a targeted airstrike on his sister's home that also killed his brother, sister & her 4 kids...
Image

2\ Refaat taught poetry & english literature; he taught Harry Potter, Shakespeare, Tomas Wyatt, John Donne, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Wilfred Owen, T. S. Eliot...

He edited 2 books to raise our voice to the world: "Gaza Unsilenced" & "Gaza Writes Back"

He was full of life!

🚨Released Israeli hostages explode at Netanyahu:
"We were terribly afraid that not Hamas but Israel would kill us & then say: Hamas killed you"

"[Hostages] were under constant threat from the IDF shelling"

"[IDF] helicopter shot at us"

Several shouted at Netanyahu "Shame"🧵 Image 2\ One released abductee told Netanyahu an IDF "helicopter shot at us on the way to Gaza. You claim that there is intelligence, But the fact is that we are being shelled."

She said her husband is still in Gaza & she fears for his life (I hope a deal for his release is made soon) Image
