🚨This message is completely FAKE!
Just went through all of Anas al-Sharif's messages on Oct 7, 2023, no such messages exists.
Telegram doesn't even put the date on messages.
Israel is so desperate to justify murdering Gaza's top journalist, but all they have are doctored docs, fake screenshots & a picture he took *as a journalist* with Gaza's rulers.
Even if Anas wrote this fake message, even if he took selfies with every single Hamas leader on the face of earth, even if he was once a militant in 2017...
NONE of this would justify murdering him! Israel didn't provide any evidence Anas was actively taking part in hostilities or combat!

Folks are asking what does Netanyahu’s occupation plan mean, since Israel already occupies Gaza?
It means implementing the notorious “Generals Plan” to Gaza city, Deir al-Bala & Nusairat; the only last 3 areas Israel hasn’t fully wiped out & where most Gazans are sheltering🧵
2\ The “Generals Plan” is ethnic cleansing (per Israel itself) done in 5 steps:
Fully encircle & besiege a city
Cut food & water & take hospitals & other vital services out
Bomb incessantly by air, land & sea
Invade gradually & force people out at gunpoint
Flatten everything

The ultimate gift to Hamas is NOT a few countries' symbolic recognition of Palestine
The ultimate gift to Hamas is Netanyahu & Trump humiliating, weakening, sanctioning & bankrupting the Palestinian Authority no matter how far Abbas goes to appease Israel & the US🧵
2\ Hamas' key argument for armed resistance is that nonviolence, advocacy, civil disobedience, international courts, diplomacy, peace processes are all futile & if you try them you'd only get smacked & demonized by Israel & the US without achieving any tangible results

We warned about this 8 months ago; Israel's 5 finger policy of dissecting Gaza into smaller concentration camps using "security corridors" (i.e. extermination zones):
Everything on both sides of each corridor is then gradually wiped out
Latest corridor👇 ecfr.eu/publication/de…
2\ You can already see how Israel systematically demolished every single building on both sides of its latest "corridor" in Khan Younis
Those "corridors" are deadlier than the Berlin Wall; anyone trying to cross from one side to another is instantly executed

10 soldiers took turns to rape their victim on camera until they exploded his intestines & raptured his rectum. Gov leaders, MPs, religious leaders… all praised the rapists. National TVs hosted the rapists. The public overwhelmingly supported the rapists.
They now pretend this never happened; the very folks who never said a single word about this want to shame you into supporting a genocide by screaming “Oct 7 sexual violence” every single day!
Receipts, for all the rape deniers:
🚨Yehuda Vach is the man behind the daily GHF massacres:
An IDF Brigadier General & an extremist settler from Kiryat Arba. He gave explicit orders to fire at starved Gazans
He's one of the most genocidal Israeli officers in Gaza, responsible for some of the worst atrocities🧵
2\ Vach is the one who blew up Gaza's sole cancer specialist hospital, the Turkish hospital
He created his "private army" of extremist settlers & terrorist "hilltop youth" to demolish homes in Gaza & hired his brothers to lead the job to "flatten Gaza"

Here's how & why GHF massacres happen daily (step by step)🧵
1- Starved Gazans sleep in the open near al-Mawasi's Mu'awiya mosque that leads to the GHF "hubs"
Near dawn, more desperate people arrive & start pushing the queue to get to GHF
IDF fires: 1st massacre of the day at 3:00-4:00. Everyday, like clockwork
The more fires shot, the more starved people panic, scatter or stampede, & the more violently the IDF attacks (e.g. tank shells, live bullets) 2- The gangs arrive first:
At the crack of dawn, the IDF & GHF allow in collaborators, looters, gang members & subcontractors who open boxes to scavenge & loot the most valuable items (e.g. oil) to sell on the black market
No massacres at that point

🚨Anyone claiming Hamas rejected Witkoff's ceasefire deal is outright lying
Hamas accepted the proposal & added to it the following points:
1- Hamas steps down from gov, hands control over Gaza to a technocratic independent committee (Netanyahu removed this from an earlier draft)
3- Negotiating a possible long-term truce for 5-7 years that entails full cessation of "offensive military operations" by both sides
4- Allowing Gazans to travel out of & back to Gaza freely through the Rafah crossing & resuming commercial goods & trade
5- Finalising reconstruction arrangement & plans during the negotiations on ending the war & providing aid to Gazans affected by the war.
6- Reconstruction of the Gaza Strip to be implemented over 3-5 years (i.e. the widely endorsed Egyptian plan); under the supervision of a number of countries & organizations, including Egypt, Qatar, & UN.
6- Ceasefire would continue automatically after the 60 day pause if Israel & Hamas are still negotiating by then (this was a basic condition in the Jan 19 ceasefire agreement Netanyahu signed).
7- Hamas would release 10 Israeli captives & 18 bodies during the 60-day pause, & will release all remaining captives as soon as the final phase is agreed upon (i.e. ending the war).
Most of those points were ALREADY in the outline Hamas reached with Trump's negotiating team last week before Netanyahu rejected that proposal completely out of hand & forced Witkoff to take those items off

🚨Conclusive evidence of Israel running the very criminal gangs looting aid in Gaza🧵
Hamas released footage today of an ambush against what they thought were Israeli Mista'arvim (undercover) soldiers in Rafah
But upon closer inspection, they turned out to be Abu Shabab's gang; the Israel-backed warlord, drug dealer, & serial criminal responsible for looting the vast majority of aid under full IDF protection.
Abu Shabab runs a gang of 100-200 armed mercenaries who sat up a military complex in Rafah with Israel's backing
In the footage, Abu Shabab's mercenaries were walking around a depopulated Rafah freely carrying weapons in front of Israeli troops (currently any Palestinian that walks into Rafah is killed on the spot).
The mercenaries were conducting surveillance activities for Israel of those areas.
2\ From the Hamas footage, a senior Abu Shabab gang leader is identified; Ghassan Al-Dahini is the mercenary running the gang's operation on the ground
He survived this ambush & is believed to still be running the Israel-backed gang

🚨Thousands of starved Gazans storm the dystopian Israeli-American aid complex in Rafah after being forced to stand in endless queues & bake in the sun in a fenced concentration camp while being subjected to biometric surveillance
US mercenaries & Israeli troops are opening fire
2\ Israel's Kan reports the US mercenaries were likely the ones opening fire at the starved crowds, while reports from Gaza indicate Israeli troops also fired at the crowds
People were told to stand in queue all day while mercenaries pick & choose who gets aid & who starves

False! Mohammed Sinwar was (allegedly) killed within a radius of over 500 METERS from that Gazan hospital
Which is about the same distance the IDF Bunker/HQ in Tel-Aviv is located from the Azrieli Shopping Mall, Tel-Aviv Museum of arts & the Assuta Hashalom HOSPITAL🧵
2\ Israel indiscriminately carpet bombed Gaza's European hospital & its surrounding areas up to 500 meters with bunker buster missiles
Israel weaponizes a lethal gas that is a byproduct of those missiles to kill anyone inside targeted tunnels even if distant from the impact area

Devil's in the detail: No! Israel didn't end its starvation policy in Gaza
They just decided to allow 3.3% of the bare minimum amount of aid necessary for human survival, & only temporarily for one week until they set up dystopian "hubs" in Rafah run by armed US mercenaries🧵
2\ Israel makes clear those dystopian aid "hubs" will be set up in Rafah, run by armed US mercenaries, equipped with facial recognition tech for massive surveillance & surrounded by Israeli checkpoints teeming with genocidal soldiers.
This is a trap/bait, not "humanitarian aid"!

Israel claims its alleged assassination attempt of Mohammed Sinwar will "boost hostage deal efforts" & "damage Hamas' capabilities"
Both claims are completely false & the opposite is the only likely result; those assassinations can only sabotage ceasefire talks, prolong war🧵
2\ Hamas currently operates in a decentralized way; each cell acts autonomously & independently from the other in terms of ambushing the IDF
The top Qassam leadership are superfluous, as there's no need for coordination, chain of command or central planning in guerrilla warfare!

On Nakba day, time to debunk Israel's foundational myths with their own words🧵
Myth No 1: "Israel accepted partition, Palestinians rejected"
Israel NEVER accepted partition; they only exploited it as a tactical step towards ethnic cleansing
Ben Gurion is crystal clear on this
2\ Partition would've meant Israel would have a 40% Arab minority in their half of the land
Ben Gurion made clear this was unacceptable to the Zionists. They wanted an "absolute majority" for Jewish Israelis, which could only be established through atrocities & mass expulsion

Israel is using this 2020 picture to legitimize murdering a top Gazan journalist on his hospital bed (double war crime)🧵
Here's the picture's background: Hassan was covering a public event Sinwar held with Gaza youth to discuss national reconciliation
Sinwar approached Hassan, told him he was an excellent journalist & asked him to take a picture of them together.
Sinwar had been away from the public sphere for a long time before that conference, so he wanted this picture to be a message to Israel that he's back.
He chose Hassan because he was a household name in Gaza with a large following; he was the go to person for any updates on Gaza.
Hassan himself was NOT part of Hamas or any other militant group. He NEVER took part in any hostilities that would justify killing him.
Israel murdered him because he was a gatekeeper to a huge amount of evidence of their genocide; he was always the first journalist at any site of a massacre or an airstrike. He would've been a key witness to the ICC & ICJ.
That's why Israel has murdered the largest number of journalists at the fastest pace in human history; to suppress any coverage of the genocide & destroy any evidence of their atrocities after.
2\ Here's Sinwar schmoozing with Egypt's intelligence minister Abbas Kamel, does that render Kamel a legitimate target?
Israel's argument that a single picture a journalist took with the ruler of Gaza is grounds for murder; how many Israeli journalists have pics with Netanyahu?

This "aid" plan is so dystopian, starved Gazans are saying one has to be completely insane to step a foot into those militarized compounds run by American mercenaries in an area fully controlled by the IDF
Gazans, the UN & EU diplomats all see it as a dangerous & criminal trap🧵
1\ Divide & rule: under this "aid" plan, Israel decides who gets food in Gaza & who starves to death
Anyone receiving aid would be "screened" by Israel with an undisclosed secret process
I.e. if you ever wrote a post critical of the genocide, the IDF could blacklist your name

🧵The 1st to predict this inevitability in 1934 was Jewish-German psychologist Erich Neumann, who wrote upon meeting Zionists in Palestine:
"Everything [here] leads to fascism... I fear that all our repressed passions, all our ambitions for power and revenge, all the brutality hidden in us, will come to fruition here... This could result in the 'shadow' finally being released & here in Palestine for the 1st time it could be seen & erupt, because there is no external pressure here. It will certainly not be pleasant"
2\ In 1948, Albert Einstein & Hannah Arendt noticed it quickly & warned that Israel's Haherut party (today Netanyahu's Likud) was akin to "Nazi & Fascist parties" in its "organization, methods, political philosophy & social appeal".

🚨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)
