Anti-Zionist Jew. Not actually Yeshayahu Leibowitz (duh) (he/him) Mostly follow Jwitter, Palestine Twitter, and Law Twitter. @leibowitzadak.bsky.social

I sifted through Adalah's discriminatory laws database to put together what I think is a good tweet thread for anyone who denies that Israel discriminates against non-Jews. Emphasis mostly on de jure discriminatory laws that apply within the '49 borders, not West Bank.

@c0g1018 @iantDC @RashidaTlaib Let's start with the Absentee Property laws, which confiscated all the property of Palestinian Arabs who fled from their homes during any part of the 1947–49 violence, but don't apply to Jews.

[usaama @yoUsaama]

it's always the same pattern:

Palestinian: "Israel did something"

more Palestinians: "Israel did this to me and 30 people i know"

Zionists: "antisemitic blood libel. where's the video showing exactly what you said"

human rights NGOS and the UN: "we looked at 15 months of evidence and it turns out Israel does this routinely. it's standard operating procedure"

Zionists: "blood libel"

video: Israeli soldier shoots and kills a 7 month old baby from 10 meters away

IDF: "oopsie. we will take a look at this"

Zionists: "doesn't count, IDF said oopsie"

Israeli prime minister, the next day: uploads a video of the IDF blowing up an entire village

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

HORRIFIC: Israeli settler terrorists are burning down the Christian village of Taybeh, east of Ramallah in the West Bank right now.

[Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2]

Imagine you're the mother of this 7-month-old baby!

Your baby is murdered before your eyes, your husband is shot in the head. The shooter is roaming free & will never be held accountable

You can't file a police complaint, you can't go to court, b/c you're Palestinian! The entire Israeli system is rigged against you.

If you turn to the "free" & "civilized" world for help, at most they'll call on Israel to investigate itself. The IDF will close down the case as an accident at best, or they'll say you were using your baby as a "khuman shield".

If you take matters into your own hand, you'll be condemned instantly by that same "free" & "civilized" world as a terrorist. No investigation needed! You'll automatically get the death penalty that Israel applies only to non-Jews.

If you turn to the International Criminal Court, the US will bury you alive under sanctions.

If you speak up, yell & scream your lungs to heavens in futility, you'll be blacklisted as an antisemite.

The only thing you're allowed to do is sit & wait quietly for your turn...

Israel will keep ratcheting up the bombings in Lebanon until Iran responds enough that the USA agrees to restart the war against Iran. Genocide to sabotage peace. War for the sake of war.

[Yeshayahu Leibowitz stan account @leibowitzadak]

Israel’s playbook is, and always has been, straightforward. Keep escalating violence steadily. If the other side doesn’t respond, great, you get to keep doing it. If the other side does respond, great, you now have an excuse to escalate much more rapidly.

The biggest difference between this and Nazi propaganda about concentration camp living conditions is that at one point the Nazis allowed the Red Cross to visit a concentration camp.

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

We appreciate the concern of the distinguished governments about the humanitarian access in Gaza, despite the fact that the concerns and claims in the statement are completely unfounded and detached from reality.

There are immense amounts of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip. Since the ceasefire, more than 1.6 million tons of food have entered the Gaza Strip, with an average of 600 humanitarian aid trucks entering the Strip each day.

There are dozens of international aid organizations operating in the Strip that handle the aforementioned humanitarian aid. The registration process for these international organizations is designed to ensure that their activities are not exploited to promote terrorism, as was the case with UNRWA. In this regard, we refer governments to the USAID report published less than a week ago concerning more than 100 UNRWA employees found to have links to Hamas.

The registration process for international organizations, including the need to ensure that their activities are not exploited for terrorism, was reviewed and approved by Israel's Supreme Court, whose independence democratic nations are expected to respect.

I had asked about this horrific crime by Israel — using drones to broadcast recordings of crying children so they could shoot Palestinians who were lured — when I first saw it reported in Gaza in 2024.

The Biden admin spokesperson saw no evil.

The Trump spokesperson hasn’t had a briefing in almost a year.

Now Israel is reportedly doing it in Lebanon. Video by @decensorednews

@ZacharyBraiterm @Ron_Skolnik Self-critical left Zionism is kind of like anti-slavery Confederacy support. Sure, it’s theoretically possible, but engaging in it inevitably becomes an act of revisionism, and the main effect of that stance is giving cover to the right-wingers using the same labels and symbols.

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

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.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

iran is the only country on the planet willing to stop israel's expansion, this is the reason why israel wants to get the us to try and destroy iran.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

In the same breath, Israel says it’s unfair for Iran to defend Hezbollah because those are different conflicts — and then takes out its anger on humanitarian orgs delivering aid to Gaza

[Yeshayahu Leibowitz stan account @leibowitzadak]

A lot of Zionists who spent a week yelling about the NYT needing more corroboration and stricter editorial standards after dozens of Palestinian victims spoke about Israel’s rape policy have a lot less to say about Graham Platner’s Republican activist ex-girlfriend’s allegation.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Yesterday, the UN Human Rights Office reported that Israel is systematically targeting public servants in Gaza—collapsing public order—as Palestinians continue to be killed and maimed.

You might not know since it got no coverage. Because why would ongoing genocide be newsworthy?

[Yeshayahu Leibowitz stan account @leibowitzadak]

This is good news, but it’s 2.5 years late. Nicholas Kristoff’s reporting bringing attention to Israel’s widespread abuse of prisoners probably factored into Israel’s court finally moving on this. Expect to learn a lot more details about the abuse in the coming weeks.

[ACRI @acri_online]

BREAKING: In a unanimous ruling, Israel's Supreme Court has accepted ACRI's petition and ordered the government to restore Red Cross visits to Palestinian security detainees.
The court found the government's blanket ban violated both Israeli and international law.

For the first time in nearly three years, the roughly 9,000 Palestinian security detainees held in Israeli prisons and military facilities will receive visits from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) – visits that monitor detention conditions, hear complaints, and pass information to families.

Israel banned all ICRC access at the start of the war on October 7, 2023, and kept it in place for over two and a half years. Since then, harrowing testimonies have emerged of abuse, violence, and the starvation of Palestinian detainees – with no exceptions made for anyone. The government justified the ban as a security measure tied to the hostages held in Gaza, yet the ban remained in place even after the last hostage was returned in January 2026.

Throughout the war, the government made a point of disregarding Israeli and international law. But the Israel Prison Service (IPS) – the agency running Israel's prisons, under the extremist Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir – was an ignoble standout.
We hope the return of the Red Cross to Israel's prisons will finally bring some restraint to the IPS's abusive practices.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Rashida Tlaib and the winner of the NJ-12 primary Adam Hamawy were casually smeared as “terrorists” by mainline politicians and commentators over the past 24 hours. Will we get panicked trend pieces about “Muslim safety” and the “alarming rise in anti-Muslim racism?” We will not.

[Yeshayahu Leibowitz stan account @leibowitzadak]

There were others with sashes, and honored guests like Smotrich, but these three were at the center of the place of honor in the parade. No one represented the parade more than them. There’s no way to hasbara out of the fact that it was a pro-genocide, pro-apartheid parade.

[Yeshayahu Leibowitz stan account @leibowitzadak]

The new hasbara narrative is that Smotrich was not an official part of the Israeli government delegation. That’s false, but let’s talk about the officials who are just as extreme, who were holding the official Israel banner and had “Honor Guard” parade sashes:

[Yeshayahu Leibowitz stan account @leibowitzadak]

Yitzchak Wasserlauf, from Ben-Gvir’s “Jewish Power” party and Israel’s Minister of “National Resilience.” He is a leader of the push to ethnically cleanse Gaza and settle it with Jews. He also supports annexing the West Bank.

[Yeshayahu Leibowitz stan account @leibowitzadak]

@isaiah_bb The whole thing is a hasbara trash fire, but did Smotrich have an honor guard sash? He’s not wearing one in any photos I saw.
