ISRAEL IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT IT'S ACCUSED OF by jihadists who actually do these crimes - Apartheid? Ethnic Cleansing? Starvation? Genocide? Not by Israel, but by many of our neighbors. 100s OF MILLIONS killed, maimed, displaced, and oppressed in jihadist wars. https://t.co/YzysvrOKf6

THERE IS NO GENOCIDE IN GAZA - The IDF has no intent to kill civilians - it targets combatants who shoot at us from behind women and children, militarizing schools, hospitals, and residences. The IDF has killed less civilians per combatant than any army ever has in an urban war. Starvation as a weapon? No. Israel has allowed over 3000 calories/person/day into Gaza IN 2024, but Hamas' UNRWA distributes it in an evil way. Gazans deserve better - and only by neutralizing Hamas and Islamic Jihad can new, non-extremist leaders rise up. https://t.co/V552eBPb1L

The Jewish people in the land of Israel have been UNDER ATTACK FOR OVER 100 YEARS - including genocide and widespread gaslighting. https://t.co/LZMZtNuhHV

The biggest shock to me in the past year hasn't been that jihadists would purposefully massacres innocent people as soon as Israel lets its guard down. Or that jihadists lie to westerners about almost everything. What feels like betrayal is how many MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLETS AMPLIFY THE GASLIGHTING https://t.co/FSDCAgoL26

Jews and Jewish allies, please learn about this tragedy from the mainstream Israeli perspective too before believing what the ultra-left or ultra-right propagandists and deceptive tycoon media have been wanting you to believe. Israel has never been perfect, but we're good people and we need you to invest time listening to eloquent voices from all sides of the conflict and add your voice to the dialog. It could make you unpopular with certain censorship type people for a while, but the people who will hate you for telling the truth are not your real friends.

[Shahar Erez @DawnErez]

What surprised me more than the horrors of Oct 7 is the deceit in most major news media outlets - making it look as if Israel is the aggressor when in truth, Israel has been in a war of self-defense from jihad for over 100 years. https://t.co/6eXGF4ttxM

I knew that one day Israel would have its guard down and the jihad would show the world what it actually is. What I didn't know was how the western media has been giving the jihad a free pass. The jihadists broke every ceasefire, and the only pre-emptive major Israeli strikes was when an actual genocidal Islamist attack was about to explode on us, the war drums were thundering, weapons aimed at us, armies advancing, and Israel had to destroy their abilities to attack us in 2024 and 1967.

Israel is slandered and blamed for the misery and falsely accused of genocide, when Israel has actually done more than any nation ever has to prevent civilian casualties and hunger while the jihadists purposely put civilians in harms way instead of letting them shelter in tunnels. https://t.co/V552eBPb1L

Though the jihadists have been waging war on the Middle East and Africa for decades (centuries if you look way back), killing millions in recent regional wars. Nobody takes to the streets to disarm the Iranian regime’s proxies in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Palestine or the actual genocide in Sudan. But, many American professors were “exhilarated” about the “resistance” on Oct 7 and many at elite universities signed letters blaming Israel and telling Israel to stop defending itself. The head of the UN immediately blamed Israel for defending herself against attempts genocide, saying that this “didn’t happen in a vacuum”. Meanwhile, main news outlets misinform the public by not holding the intifada/jihad movement responsible for the civilian suffering in the region, especially in Palestine. https://t.co/BOZWxaZuZD

Every war has tragic mistakes, unintentionally killing people who weren’t the threat, even companions killed by friendly fire in the chaos. The difference here is that on campus and in the media, people only see/hear about Israel’s doings. Even the “trustworthy” NYTimes basically stopped criticizing Hamas for the situation in their winter 2023/4 coverage. (auto-translate https://t.co/yEZVViTf76 ) Instead, NYTimes, BBC, NBC, the Guardian, Washington Post and many others took Hamas’ often false claims as facts without checking them first. https://t.co/wjRxmoC233 Just one of so many examples: A hospital parking lot was hit by Islamic Jihad killing a dozens but Hamas said it was Israel who killed hundreds of innocents and the major news sources ran with the ‘Gazan authorities’ deceptive story, then issued a too-little-too-late apology after it was proven false. Major news sources often discuss ‘Israel accused of starving Gazans’ when in reality, Israel has let in more than 3000 calories/day/person in 2024, most of which Hamas stole and is the actual organization starving people in Gaza. https://t.co/wRT2yRaJeK

How have so many mainstream news sources failed to show that this suffering is primarily the fault of the jihad? Probably for the same reasons they aren’t showing the jihadist/Islamist cause of millions of recent deaths or that the jihad movement is becoming strong in western countries, brainwashing people in universities and media.
Follow the money.

This is the clearest and most brilliant statement and argument by @GovMikeHuckabee for why Israel IS NOT and HAS NOT committed genocide.

So well said. Thank you Mike

@DrBassamAlex @emilykschrader Maps of the 1947 UN partition, which shows where Jewish communities were, correlate almost exactly to where there was the highest rate of malaria beforehand - Jews bought land no one else wanted, drained the swamps, and made it arable.

[Shahar Erez @DawnErez]

@emilykschrader The only place from the river to the sea where Palestinians are free is in Israel, and that is because of Palestinianism, an endless war waged by a people formed in the 1960s with the singular goal of ending the Jews' ability to defend ourselves against Islamist oppression.

[Shahar Erez @DawnErez]

@SpencerGuard On a bad year, only $50B in measurable benefits on a $4B investment in Israel. That's a 1200% yearly ROI !! And Israel is fighting the same Islamist movement infiltrating America.

[Shahar Erez @DawnErez]

@SpencerGuard Aside from being on the ethical side of history, America gets over $100B/year in benefits from the <$4B investment in IDF per year, most of which is spent in the USA.

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

For two years, Israel struck or raided hospitals in Gaza, claiming Hamas operated from inside them.

Each strike produced a global outrage cycle: images of dead patients, condemnations from the UN, the WHO calling Shifa a “death zone,” genocide accusations at the ICJ. Israel’s counter-claim,that Hamas had embedded its military inside the medical system was ignored.

Almost every institution positioned to verify it, aid groups, UN agencies, much of the press,either stayed silent or actively disputed Israel’s version.

MSF repeatedly said it had “seen no evidence” of Hamas using hospitals , while accusing Israel of attacking healthcare. When the IDF raided Shifa and the early evidence looked thin, outlets ran fact-checks mocking the rifle count, and the skepticism hardened into a settled narrative that Israel had lied.

Then in February 2026, the least Israel-friendly credible witness imaginable,a Nobel-winning aid group that had accused Israel of genocide, documented armed men, patient arrests, and weapons movement at Nasser from the inside.

Did anyone really cover the correction? No. No they did not.

[Shahar Erez @DawnErez]

@EYakoby As far as I understand, he tried to stall the anti-Israel woman he attacked by telling her that if she exposes him, he won't be able to accuse Israel of genocide. His accusation was a blackmail to stay out of trouble.

[Shahar Erez @DawnErez]

@LionsOfZion_ORG Why did you wait for Trump to attack the IRGC when the protesters were still alive?? That was the window.

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

Even Arab leaders admit it.

Everyone is sharing the Bill Clinton clip where he describes how Yasser Arafat rejected a generous peace offer at Camp David that would have given the Palestinians a state on 96 percent of the West Bank, land swaps, and a capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to him and that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two-state solution. They wanted to destroy Israel. It’s a video often shared by people like @VividProwess, and it’s an important one for people to see.

Of course, critics immediately dismiss it. They claim Clinton is biased or he’s pro-Israel. They’ll tell you that you cannot trust the American perspective.

Ok, so let us set that aside.

Now watch this.

In this powerful interview, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a major Arab leader who was directly involved in negotiations, says exactly the same thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mena House Conference in Cairo as well as the Camp David negotiations of 1978. All failed because of the Palestinians repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo accords were signed but because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved, they derailed the accords and any chance for peace by initiating 4 years of terrorist suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the second Camp David negotiations in 2000 which Arafat agreed to, then rejected and instead initiated the Second Intifada.

Mubarak explains how the Palestinians refused to even participate in the Mena House conference of 1977. He describes repeated opportunities they were given, including a detailed document that called for Israeli withdrawal from the Samaria, Judea and Gaza, security arrangements during a transitional period, and other major concessions. The Israelis were willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security. The Palestinians, according to Mubarak, kept saying no and wasting chance after chance.

He speaks with clear frustration about how for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiatives and realistic compromises.

The video further shows footage from the PLO representative in 1977, as well as old footage of Egyptian president Sadat who was involved in the Mena House and first Camp David negotiations of 1978.

This perhaps is far more impactful than Clinton’s account because it is not a Western or Israeli voice. It is prominent Arab leaders who lived the negotiations, who represented the broader Arab world, and who had zero incentive to defend Israel.

When leaders from both sides of the table describe the same pattern of Palestinian rejectionism and violence, it becomes much harder to dismiss as bias.

The pattern is clear across decades and across different voices… generous offers, repeated refusals, and continued demands for everything while giving nothing in return.

This is not ancient history. It is the core reason the conflict continues today.

If you value the truth, please share.

[Shahar Erez @DawnErez]

@HibernianSea @EinatWilf If you had empathy, you'd be fighting to defund the UN for supporting Hamas. You'd yell that Hamas's MB, who is responsible for the oppression and suffering of Gazans, should be stopped everywhere it is waging war.

This isn't Israel v Palestinians. It's 400M Islamists v Israel

[Shahar Erez @DawnErez]

The New York Times has become America's #1 source of deception, in a close tie with CNN and NBC. Blaming Israel for Israeli actions without the cause that righteously led to these actions...that's not just bad journalism. It hides the truth about Islamism from NYT readers.

[Eitan Fischberger @EFischberger]

This was the top of the New York Times last night. The first thing every reader sees the moment they land on the homepage of the most influential news outlet on earth. All three stories about Israel.

There is a famous communications scholar named Maxwell McCombs who developed what is now called the "agenda setting theory."

His core finding is simple: The press is not very good at telling people what to think. It is extraordinarily good, however, at telling people what to think ABOUT.

And what the New York Times has decided you should think about, every single day, multiple times a day, forever and always, is Israel.

You cannot saturate the most influential newsroom in the English language with relentless coverage of one small country and then act surprised when the public becomes similarly hyper-fixated with it.

The animosity we constantly see is the predictable output of editorial selection, repeated daily, until it becomes the background music of how people think about the Jewish state.

I'm referring to the political jihadists who are ~ 20-25% of the Muslim world, not the peaceful Muslims who believe in a personal jihad instead.

[Shahar Erez @DawnErez]

@HibernianSea @EinatWilf Empathy would mean calling to stop the people causing this horrible war - the extremist Islamists running the Palestinian world and quickly infiltrating key western institutions. Instead, Ireland supports them.

This isn't an Israel/Palestine war, it's an Islamist/Jewish war.

[Shahar Erez @DawnErez]

@rich_toronto Exactly

[Shahar Erez @DawnErez]

@RepMikeLawler Fantastic work.

Personally, I think there needs to be a global organization for diplomacy and dialog, but the UN has made itself illegitimate with its deception and hyper-focus on one of the few food nations.

We need to defund and set up an alternative UN

[Shahar Erez @DawnErez]

@visegrad24 It makes sense to create unbiased information services, with various fact/perspectives-checking tools built in, but to censor is the opposite of democracy.

Even the BBC has proven to be notoriously unreliable and anti-conservative.

We deserve an honest media - not censorship

[Shahar Erez @DawnErez]

@EYakoby The bigger, more hidden issue is the oppressive jihadist and communist purchases of soft-power in western countries. AIPAC supports friendly politicians, while soft-power buys media companies, infrastructure, educational institutions, international orgs, etc... Very effective

[Jake Wallis Simons @JakeWSimons]

@TheObserva2902 @visegrad24 Keep having your delusions. It's ok. I feel sorry for you, though.
