This is my favorite argument.
In Hiroshima, roughly 140k people died due to the nuclear bomb out of 350k. That’s 40% of the city.
In Nagasaki, 80k people died out of 263k. That’s 30% of the city.
In Gaza, 73k people have died (according to GHM) out of 2.3 million. That’s about 3% of the population. A substantial percentage of that are terrorists.
So Israel has dropped an amount of bombs on Gaza that exceeds the power of the nuclear bombs we dropped on Japan and yet the death toll is far lower both proportionally and on a raw numbers basis.
How is that possible if Israel is committing genocide? Maybe it’s because they’re not.
58 years ago, Sirhan Sirhan introduced America to Palestinian culture (He murdered Robert F. Kennedy)

Never forget the gifts that Palestine has given America.
The USS Liberty conspiracy theory asks you to accept that Israel, a nation of 2.5 million people fighting for its literal survival on six fronts simultaneously against 110 million Arabs equipped with Soviet tanks, Soviet aircraft, and Soviet warships, and with no formal American alliance, no American weapons, and no guarantee that anyone was coming to save them, is chose day four of that existential war to deliberately attack the one country on earth that might eventually become their ally, in broad daylight, in international waters, leaving 174 survivors who could identify the attacking forces, while fourteen separate investigations across two governments found zero evidence of intent, while Israel’s own military had accidentally bombed its own armored column the day before proving how catastrophically identification fails in wartime chaos, and while not a single one of the conspiracy theory’s proponents in nearly six decades of trying has ever managed to agree on what Israel was actually trying to accomplish by doing it.
Heavy lift.

What does this @nytimes investigation actually tell us?
Nothing we didn't already know.
Instead, it appears to be another attempt to cast legitimate Israeli military operations against Hezbollah as inherently suspect.
Let's talk about what white phosphorus is - and what it isn't. 🧵
¹ Thanks to the work of @bandlersbanter, @AshleyRindsberg, @EllaTravelsLove and @shlomitlir, there's growing awareness of coordinated ideological takeover of Wikipedia's Israel/Palestine coverage after Oct. 7
So I decided to measure its extent and the results are extraordinary🧵
@FatahImpact@MusIimcel@tarkovsky1984 Lmao you think sticking together two clips that have nothing to do with one another is proof?
The guys are firing mortars at terrorists, and then you stitch in a random video. But quoting a liar like jvnior is typical for you retarded terrorist scum
@FatahImpact@MusIimcel@tarkovsky1984 That’s a doctored video, you retarded terrorist scum. The officer who leaked it literally threw her phone into the ocean to try and cover up.
Israel didn’t rape anyone.
The Palestinians, on the other hand, love rape so much that they filmed themselves and put it on the internet
