Thread on how tactics are being used to discourage the masses in Pakistan to stand for their rights! 🔽

#IslamabadMassacre #گولی_کیوں_چلائی #ImranKhanInDanger

@ImranKhanPTI @PTIofficial Authoritarian regimes often employ a tactic called controlled opposition or strategic demobilization.

This involves infiltrators or moles within revolutionary movements intentionally calling for protests at critical times or calling them off to undermine movement’s momentum.

According to claims by #Israeli officials, the occupying military has been using inappropriate munitions aka IMs as well as #DumbBombs during its ongoing #GenocideinGaza!

A thread on what dumb bombs and #IMs are! ⤵️

#CeaseFireInGaza Image 1/ Dumb bombs aka unguided bombs, lack a guidance system, relying on the delivering aircraft's accuracy.

Israel's use of these in #Gaza has raised concerns as the imprecision of #dumbbombs in densely populated areas is a threat to civilians & is akin to a #warcrime.

Can Muslim countries block strategic *chokepoints to 🛑#Genocide_of_Palestinians by #Israel? 🧵⤵️

*A chokepoint is a strategic strait or canal that could be closed/blocked to🛑sea traffic (especially oil).

#GenocideinGaza #CeasefireForGazaNOW #ShutElbitDown #Gaza_Genocide 1/ #Chokepoints are crucial for global trade and security, and control over these passages can have significant economic and military implications, specifically for the #US & the #West.

Blocking one could give the Muslim countries an upper hand on #Israel

From the onset, 🇮🇱 has deliberately targeted journalists as a strategy in blatant violation of ethical/legal int'l standards of warfare.

The sinister motive behind this is to hide 🇮🇱 actions & to take away the voice of #Gazans.🧵⤵️

#CeasefireInGazaNOW #PalestinianGenocide 1/ 🇮🇱 is desperate 2 control the #narrative. It has failed till now. By suppressing independent reporting, 🇮🇱 aims 2 shape public perception in sync w/ its interests.

And w/ the evident genocidal 🇮🇱 intent, info control is a potent tool 2 enlist internal/external support.
