@m7mdkurd "unambiguously genocidal against Shias"

Meaning, Israel is attempting a "genocide" of Hezbollah. Which is a very good thing.

[Hillel Neuer @HillelNeuer]

.@ZackPolanski You cited the U.N. human rights council as a moral authority when a majority of its members are tyrannies like Cuba, Iraq, and Qatar, and the Chair of its experts, George Katrougalos, took $100,000 from China last year while he showered praise upon Xi Jinping.

“14,000 babies will die in 48 hours.”

That claim didn’t come from a random account online. It came from the United Nations, and major media outlets ran with it.

The problem? It wasn't true.

Presenter: @Erin_Molan

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

They called it a "civilian" building.

The problem? There's a Hezbollah rocket launcher inside it.

This is Hezbollah's method: hide military infrastructure among civilians, then cry foul when those weapons are targeted.

This is what human shields look like.

You misspelled “killed by Hezbollah.”

[HonestReporting @HonestReporting]

.@BtSIsrael is repeatedly treated by international media as a credible source for IDF testimonies.

But when anonymous sources provide unverified and dramatic stories that attempt to paint a negative picture of the IDF, how can the source be considered as neutral?

This is not an easy read but I think it's an important one, including for Israelis and allies, who may have forgotten about the terrible massacres launched from Lebanon against Israeli civilians in the 70s and 80s.

[HonestReporting @HonestReporting]

Hey, @SkyNews, before interviewing representatives of the Islamic Association Civil Defense, you might want to tell viewers what the organization actually is.

So we'll help.

The man being presented as a rescue worker represents a group widely recognized as Hezbollah's quasi-military medical corps, embedded within the terror group's broader infrastructure - a critical detail you curiously omitted.

[Max 📟 @MaxNordau]

The demand for proof of Israeli atrocities (infinite) outweighs the number of Israeli atrocities (zero), which is why the watermelons keep getting caught posting AI videos and mislabeled videos from Iraq.

[Aizenberg @Aizenberg55]

🧵PIJ just admitted Ahmed Abu Eisha was a platoon commander POSING AS A JOURNALIST. Hamas & PIJ systematically use press vests for combat cover & media manipulation. The IDF was doubted, but now proven right. @pressfreedom—yet another one to remove. TEN more recent examples: 1/

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

BREAKING: Hezbollah has killed a UN worker with a rocket that they fired.

You won’t see the media or podcaster class or UN so a word.

Weird.

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

Hezbollah mortar fire struck a UNIFIL position in southern Lebanon overnight, killing one UN personnel member and injuring two others.

The terror organization's continued militarization of Lebanon has turned civilian communities and international peacekeepers into targets and placed the entire region at risk.

The Government of Lebanon has an obligation under UN Security Council resolutions to ensure Hezbollah's disarmament and the complete removal of its military infrastructure from Lebanon.

Israel expresses its condolences to the family of the victim and wishes a speedy recovery to the injured.

[Prof. Math & CS @Zeev81309559]

Criticizing Israel is not antisemitic.

Mentioning Israel was attacked first and suggesting better responses = criticism

Omitting the attacks and saying 'Israel is killing people' = propaganda and antisemitism

Context separates the two.

[HonestReporting @HonestReporting]

Apparently, in @nytimes' world, Hezbollah firing rockets into northern Israel isn't an escalation.

But Israel responding to those rockets? That's the escalation.

What an amazing standard.

It's almost as if the NYTimes starts with the conclusion and works backwards from there.

[Eli Lebowicz @EliLebowicz]

The reason you see so much criticism of Israel more than any other country is BECAUSE Israel is not nearly close to being a human rights violator in a serious way. If it was like China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Syria, Sudan, you wouldn’t actually be able to criticize them without real, dangerous consequences.

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

Hezbollah struck a church in southern Lebanon.

Then it attempted to blame Israel.

The damage to a Christian religious site is not an isolated incident. It is the policy of a terrorist organization that operates from populated areas and endangers all segments of Lebanese society regardless of religion, sect, or community.

As Iran's most powerful proxy, Hezbollah advances Tehran's interests at the expense of the Lebanese people. It uses Lebanese territory and its population as shields for its military operations.

Hezbollah: Iran's proxy. Lebanon's tragedy. Israel's threat.

Dr. Adam Hamawy, now the official Democratic nominee for U.S. Congress in New Jersey, spent nearly a month in 2024 at the European Hospital in Khan Younis and testified it was a "completely benign civilian hospital with no tunnels underneath it."

Now, let me share with you the facts.

The European Hospital in Khan Younis is the exact location where just a few months later, the Israeli forces exposed a massive underground terror network and eliminated none other than Muhammad Sinwar, the chief commander of Hamas, right there.

Anyone who spends a month in a Hamas stronghold and testifies he saw absolutely nothing is either completely blind, or deliberately lying.

[LoLNothingMatters @DastDn]

"Gaza Genocide" is such an elegantly toxic piece of gaslighting. Invent a Holocaust facsimile to blame on Jews, appropriating one of their defining tragedies & weaponizing it against them. And then accuse anyone of challenging your lies of Holocaust denial, devaluing that as well

[Jonathan Eric Lewis @LewisJonathanE]

Immediately after October 7, the call went out by antizionist activists, urging everyone to label Israel's defensive actions as a "genocide"

The reason for this was to rhetorically trap Jews

Either admit there's a genocide and be called a genocidal maniac

Or deny the existence of a genocide and be called a genocide denier

It was as insidious as it was insincere from the start
