According to @ComicDaveSmith a police force, like the men & women in blue of the NYPD, could have used their 9mm pistols and handled the 40,000 strong Hamas force embedded in 1,000km of tunnels 75 ft underground. And Smith is considered by many a serious voice on these matters.
See the 7 km tunnel network under Rafah, just one of many, running directly beneath civilian areas. Yet the UN and assorted commentators still act baffled about why so much of the city was destroyed. What do they think happens when an army has to fight an underground fortress?

The irony is staggering. After years of claiming UNGA votes, “reports” & advisory opinions were int'l law, the moment a binding UNSC resolution says there is no Pal state, mandates Hamas’ disarmament & affirms Israel’s security, the anti-Israel camp suddenly declares int'l dead!

This thread from before 10/7 shatters the often repeated myth that Gazans were "confined" or "caged" in Gaza. In fact for years, the equivalent of 7% of the Gazan population traveled freely abroad.
THREAD: Gaza as “open prison” or “caged” is a core lie by Israel haters & anti-Zionists. Part of thinking is to never give credit for Israel leaving Gaza permanently as it shatters entire narrative of “perpetual occupation”; all blame MUST remain on Israel. Here's the truth 1/

Another UN Gaza “report” packed with lies. It says Gazans were “confined” for 17 years, yet 150,000 Gazans traveled abroad annually via Egypt on PA passports. This 17-page economic report on Gaza never says the word "tunnel"—a key feature of Hamas’ economy. More Hamas apologia.

Here is a video of Mosul. Even though this was caused by US and allied action, Americans are FAR more concerned with Israel & Gaza. These videos were never circulated daily as "evidence" of claimed US "wrongdoing." END

Here is my original post that elicited many angry responses, denying the reality of 1000km of tunnels, IED, booby-traps, urban guerilla warfare, etc. 2/
This video is going viral as supposed “proof” of Israeli wrongdoing. In reality it shows inevitable result of Hamas militarizing every inch of Gaza: 1,000km of tunnels and 40% of buildings booby-trapped. That is what you’re seeing not “evil IDF action.” https://t.co/zLsI5wCCQN

Important context and detail from a soldier explaining why and how so many buildings in Gaza were destroyed. It’s a direct response to a viral video claiming devastation is “proof” of Israeli wrongdoing. For perspective, Mosul after anti-ISIS campaign looked almost identical. 1/
@sfrantzman @Aizenberg55 Saying that buildings were destroyed because of the strategic decision to raid instead of hold, or to withdraw, is not much different than stating that the buildings were destroyed because that’s what happens during a war. It’s true, but it neglects to understand what happens in

According to Hamas’ Gaza fatality data, which includes natural deaths, adult men account for the majority of fatalities (52%). The media's long used line that fatalities are “mostly women & children” doesn’t hold any longer—it was ~50/50 early on but adult male-majority today.

Specifically: Men 18-35 at 30.5%+Men 36-59 at 17.0%=47.5%. Elderly 60+ in total is 7.1% or 4,889; in the July official list by name, 2,675 out of 4,307 elderly were male, or 62%. So ~3,031 in the latest elderly count are men, or another ~4.4% of fatalities add to 47.5%=52%.

My analysis of Gaza fatalities still holds and continues to be corroborated as new data comes out. https://t.co/TieSwZaILA

@Mr_Andrew_Fox Full Hamas video below. Of course, no condemnations from UN or UNRWA, so-called "NGOs" and human rights "experts" who would call the militarization of schools "legitimate resistance." END

This report written by @Mr_Andrew_Fox and I provides 87 pages of detail on Hamas' human shield strategy. The militarization of schools is well documented, but this video is probably the best evidence yet. 2/ https://t.co/Ddi88aAW7k

🧵Hamas filmed their human shield strategy at an UNRWA school. Civilian-clothed fighters, weapons in classrooms, connected by a tunnel shaft. Built to force Israel into a difficult choice—destroy the school or give Hamas safe haven to commit 10/7 again as they promised. 1/
