The world is in a bad state. If you want to do something, the best way is to start & do something. Countering propaganda with info & stats is a good start.
Israeli minister calls for kidnapping of Lebanese women and children to break Hezbollah morale
——
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir urged the political-security cabinet to abduct and imprison Lebanese women and children as a psychological warfare tactic against Hezbollah, according to a closed-door leak published by Hebrew news outlet Walla.
During a high-level ministerial meeting reviewing expanded military calculations, Ben-Gvir demanded that Tel Aviv abandon conventional strategy and explicitly target the social and familial core of the Lebanese resistance network.
"We must think outside the box regarding Hezbollah," Ben-Gvir asserted to his fellow cabinet members, according to the report. The Israeli minister added that alongside occupying southern territory and intensifying lethal strikes on personnel, Israeli forces should actively round up civilians.
"We should arrest their women and children and take them to prison; this is what hurts them the most," he stated.
🔴 Israel closed Gaza’s crossings after Iran and Israel traded fire yesterday, halting the departure of critically ill patients in need of treatment abroad.
According to doctors, around 4,000 cancer patients and 20,000 patients are unable to leave the territory for life-saving care.
20-year-old Malak Naim died after repeated delays prevented her from accessing treatment outside Gaza until it was too late, Gaza Notifications reports. Medical officials say the collapse of Gaza’s oncology system and restrictions on medical evacuations have turned many otherwise treatable cancers into death sentences, per Al Jazeera.
Israel kills fishermen in boats, doctors in hospitals, aid workers in soup kitchens and refugees in tents—deliberately inflicting on Palestinians conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction in whole or in part.
That’s genocide.

While attention is again focused on Iran, a major shift is unfolding in the West Bank. For the first time since the Oslo Accords, Palestinians are being expelled from Area A, under PA administration. The IDF is seizing land near Jenin to build a military base. Why it matters 🧵
This mass murder by Zionist terrorists was committed on Dec 18, 1947 -- nearly half-a-year before the supposed "invasion of the nascent Israeli state" by five Arab armies.
The genocide of Palestinians goes back before the founding of the State.
@2025IsReal@mehdirhasan Oh spare us your has bar a lies. "Arabs and Egyptians by genetics"? Honestly, learn some biology. Also, some history would be useful.

@DeRodeDraadNL@DutchMFA@ministerBZ Oh spare us your has bar a. You sound like a natsee who is showing guests round the model concentration camp Theresienstadt (Terezin).
@Abdolkarim1313@StanleyCohenLaw By ILi standards (not mine!!) they would be justified targets, since one day they will be soldiers and reservists. (Standard justification for mur-ing P-nian children, repeatedly on video)
@GCazike@StanleyCohenLaw And, by ILi standards (not mine!), ILi children would be justified targets, since one day they *will* serve and then become reservists.
@_ZachFoster@EFillerCorn Excellent accessible summary on Z'm by an academic and expert on the history of Z'm. Read, save, share. Ignore the has bar a replies that try to smear him because they don't like the truth to be spread. Inform yourself.
Hi Eileen,
Your tweet suggests you know little about Zionism. Let me offer a very short history:
The Zionist movement set out to build a Jewish state with a Jewish majority working at Jewish-only cooperatives living in Jewish-only colonies owned by Jewish-only land authorities operating Jewish-only schools in a country of overwhelmingly non-Jews ( of overwhelmingly Palestinian Arabs). What could possibly go wrong?
When Zionists bought land in Palestine from the 1900s-1948, they uprooted the people living on the land because they weren't jewish.
Imagine if you told your black or hispanic neighbor -- i'm buying your house because I'm white and we are trying to make the whole neighborhood White because we want to build a white country here. https://t.co/HRdm0V6qOk and https://t.co/5et8PsWobq
That's why, when Zionists created cooperatives in Palestine in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s, they insisted on "Hebrew Labor", i.e., "Jews only" -- no Arabs allowed. That's why, in the 1930s, Zionists expelled Palestinian Arabs from working at Jewish companies and business. https://t.co/gItfTIMOso
That's why, in 1948, Zionists militias ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. https://t.co/A6l95xmlpG
That's why, from 1949-1956, Israeli forces shot & killed b/w 2,700-5,000 overwhelmingly unarmed Palestinians trying to return to their homes after the war. Because they were the wrong religion/ethnicity https://t.co/s2RBvscLWY
That's why Israel expelled another ~30-40,000 Palestinians from Israel from 1949-1959. https://t.co/1d4VqUjxvE
That's why Israel expelled another ~250,000 Palestinians from Gaza & the West Bank when it occupied those territories in 1967. https://t.co/aDxfsfmHjN
That's why Israel continued to expel Palestinians from the occupied territories from 1968-1993, many hundreds of thousands of them. https://t.co/16FarJ7vAw
The Zionist movement wanted to create a Jewish State with a Jewish majority in a land of overwhelmingly Palestinians. That's why Israel has become such a pariah state over the years, because it's insistence on jewish rule in a country with so many Palestinians.
That's why Zionism has led Israel to become an apartheid state, according to every relevant human rights organization ( @ICAHD in 2010, @UNESCWA in 2017, @YeshDin in 2020, @AdalahCenter in 2020, @btselem in 2021, @hrw in 2021, @fidh_en in 2021, @alhaq_org in 2022, @Addameer in 2022, @AlMezanCenter in 2022, @cacalqudsuni in 2022, @AdvocacyJlac in 2022, @miftahpal in 2022, @ICJ_org in 2022, @DAWNmenaorg in 2022, @amnesty in 2022), since it cannot grant the ~5-6 million occupied Palestinians Israeli citizenship. Israel chose apartheid and Jewish supremacy over democracy.
Zionism also explains why Israel is now committing genocide (according to @amnesty , @hrw , @btselem , @MSF , IAGS, @alhaq_org , @UNHumanRights , @UN_HRC , @pchrgaza , @AlMezanCenter , @WarOnWant , @PHRIsrael , @fidh_en , PHROC, @LemkinInstitute , @theCCR , @ECCHRBerlin , @unitedforrights@JURDIasso , @TheElders , @Oxfam ), because, what a Zionist dream it would have been had Palestine been a land without any people on it! the ideology incentivized genocide.
Stop using Jews like me as human shields for apartheid & genocide. you are just endangering our community by your recklessness.
Please, don't forget Ghazza. In addition to the truly horrific situation there, as described by Tamer Nahed below, IL is now closing all borders for any aid delivery in retaliation to Iran sensing missiles to IL (in response to IL's bombing of Lebanon).
Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous.
Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream.
Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering.
Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs.
At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas.
This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity.
What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.
