Matt Miller was asked about the estimate in the Lancet of 186,000 dead in Gaza. He pretended to express sadness about it while repeatedly smirking, as I’ve seen him do time and again.
I spoke up. Watch —
1/ I’m an Israeli historian. My community is still too silent about the horrible war in Gaza. Over 8 months I’ve closely followed the war, reading >1000 articles and viewing >1000 videos/images of the war from all sides. My summary conclusions & full report are in the 🧵:
But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so they came to dread the Palestinians
(paraphrasing Exodus, 1:12)
Against the persecutions, the attempts to wipe out Palestinians' identity and even their lives, more and more nations are recognising a Palestinian state. I welcome this and thank them - Spain, Norway, Ireland, and soon many more.
I salute you!
שנים של מחקרים, דו"חות, מאמרים וספרים בהם חברותיי, חבריי ואני טענו, צעקנו, זעקנו, שאין אכיפה בכל הנוגע ליחס לפלסטינים ופגיעה בהם. שהמשטרה, הפרקליטות וביה"מ העליון אינם מספקים שום אכיפה. והנה התובע הראשי של ביה"ד הפלילי מסכם את המצב המחורבן של מערכת המשפט שלנו, בפחות משתי דקות.

תמה תקופת החסינות של מקבלי ההחלטות ומעצבי המדיניות הישראלית
בקשת התובע של בית הדין הפלילי הבינ"ל בהאג להוצאת צווי מעצר נגד ראש ממשלת ישראל בנימין נתניהו ושר הביטחון יואב גלנט, בחשד לביצוע פשעי מלחמה בעזה מסמנת את התדרדרותה המואצת של ישראל לתהום מוסרית.
This happened for hours, in the presence of Israeli forces who didn't intervene.
This flies in the face of the @CIJ_ICJ, that issued provisional measures to force Israel to enable humanitarian assistance.
Today, on #YomHaShoah, we remember the six million Jews murdered by the Nazi regime during the Holocaust.
May their memories be a blessing.
May we remember that Never Again means Never Again for Anyone. 🧵
We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy. Humanitarian aid workers and civilians should NEVER be a target. EVER.
I congratulate Ben Arad who today refused to serve the war and starvation machine in Gaza and was sentenced to 20 days in military prison. Brave young people like him, those who do not succumb to the militaristic brainwashing and the pressures of conformism, are hard to find today.
I cherish the three refuseniks, Tal, Sofia and Ben who are now in the military prison. Stay strong!

Let us be clear: The atrocities committed by the Israeli military in al-Shifa hospital are the direct result of the US government’s continued support. 🧵
We recently had the opportunity to sit down with @yaircherki of @Channel2News & reach out to millions of Israeli viewers to discuss our opposition to #Zionism. It's our sincere hope that our message penetrate the hearts of those who may be unfamiliar with our cause.
This is huge.
The **ICC** have now set up a portal for any submission of evidence of Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Anyone can upload, including videos and images. Please share far and wide!

The wealthiest country in the world just bombed one of the poorest countries in the world without Congressional authorization in order to prevent Red Sea attacks by the Houthis that a ceasefire in Gaza would prevent much more effectively.
"The first genocide in history where its victims are broadcasting their own destruction in real time in the desperate, so far vain hope that the world might do something."
