Rudy Giuliani publicly told Zohran Mamdani that it is “inappropriate” for Zohran to go to the 9/11 memorial.
On the next day, Mamdani released 170,000+ pages of documents exposing that Giuliani’s administration lied to the public, because they knew about the toxic air after 9/11, all to get people back to work.
This is the biggest political check mate of our time I fear…
@AnthonyInt74352 relative to Gaza’s demographic roughly 1:1 children as in under 18 including child soldiers (male teenage deaths is significantly above female which otherwise should be 50/50 like all other child age groups) Child deaths vs overall are below the general population
@TheBigTicketJS The very first part of the report shows that the IDF did acknowledge the death toll as they spoke to Israeli journalists (who then told The Guardian).
@TheBigTicketJS The IDF themselves already confirmed they killed 70,000 people, and most experts have said the majority of those 70k are women and children.
I'll explain it in a way you can understand: the IDF disagrees with your math.

@TheBigTicketJS Killing children is certainly the policy of the same military that claims to defend me. If they can do this, of course they would mock a hostage to her face. https://t.co/miv94jzeAS
@WajahatAli had me on his amazing Substack show - The Left Hook - today to discuss the blockbuster by Haaretz that Netanyahu had ignored a major warning by the ruler of the UAE that Hamas was planning an “earthquake” attack on Israel and that Netanyahu had rejected an offer by Hamas the day after October 7 to - without preconditions - release all civilian hostages.
You can watch the 30 min segment above, but let me just spell out one of the points I made in the interview: The Biden administration was well aware of the Hamas offer to release all the civilian hostages - and of Netanyahu’s rejection of the offer. Biden administration officials pressed Netanyahu gently to accept the offer. But once Netanyahu rejected it, Biden officials completely shifted and justified all measures Israel took - including blatant war crimes such as bombing hospitals - by pointing to the hostages in Hamas’s custody, knowing very well that a majority of them could have been released on day one. So many hostages died while being held by Hamas - or were held far longer - due to Netanyahu’s decision and the Biden administration’s complicity.
Remember, Biden was not passively going along with Netanyahu’s fatal decision. The US vetoed six UN Security Council resolutions and provided all kinds of economic and political support for Netanyahu’s policy - even though they knew that the civilian hostages remained in Gaza because Netanyahu preferred it that way.

Haaretz published the testimony of a reserve major and UAV operator in the Israeli Air Force who commanded a strike cell attached to maneuvering brigades inside Gaza. This is what he had to say:
1) He was involved in the March 23, 2025 paramedic killings in Tel al-Sultan, Rafah and said, "You could clearly tell these were rescue vehicles even as fire was opened on them from the ground. For no apparent reason, the force on the ground charged the convoy. They shot the first vehicle, the medical personnel got out, hid behind the ambulances and begged for their lives, and the soldiers shot them one after another."
2) On how the yellow line was used as an excuse to kill innocent people: "The Palestinians didn't know it existed, and the Air Force wasn't always updated either. From the perspective of a farmer walking onto his own land — he has no idea he's stepping into an area the IDF suddenly decided is a fire zone. And then all kinds of retroactive justifications started coming up. 'He came for an arms deal.' 'He touched the ground, maybe he's planting an explosive.' To me it looked like they were trying to incriminate people with no intelligence and no proof."
3) On how all morals were lost in Gaza: ""The feeling was that something tore, everyone had already become cynical about death, you can't understand it from the outside. It's not just fatigue, it's an erosion of morality, of responsibility, of the sense that someone is still managing the event. Very quickly this whole business of 'collateral damage' disappeared from the considerations. They fire on anyone they see. The atmosphere started to be like the stands at a soccer match. The way you shout at a player, 'Yalla, score,' that's how they shout at a soldier, 'Kill him, strike him.'"
This is what genocide looks like from the perspective of the perpetrator.
Israel talked endlessly about getting the hostages back, but it was just an excuse to kill Palestinians. When they came back, if they dared call for a ceasefire they were called whores and told that it was a shame they were returned. Here is hostage Adina Moshe, who was taken from Nir Oz on 7 October, sobbing at how Israelis treat her.
