Israel has a right to defend itself. As Israel does so, it matters how.
Too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. As Israel pursues its military objectives in Gaza, we believe Israel must do more to protect innocent civilians.
Attached is a recording of a conversation between Hamas operatives regarding the Islamic Jihad failed rocket launch on the hospital on October 17, 2023:
I am from Gaza and I am telling you this is a JOKE.
Israel destroyed many water pipes.
Also, without electricity we can NOT turn on the water pumps.
Water in Gaza does not simply run into the taps. We have to fill water tanks about twice a week.
If I get killed by Israeli bombs or my family is harmed, I blame Bari Weiss
@bariweiss
and her likes.
Many maniacal Israeli soldiers already bombing Gaza take these lies and smears seriously and they act upon them.
We can’t breathe: These are not clouds.
Israel is literally gassing Palestinians. These are heavy clouds of gunpowder and possibly white phosphorus.
Unbearable.
#icantbreathe
George Floyd was all over the walls in occupied Palestine 🇵🇸, from Gaza to the West Bank.
Palestinians have supported Black Lives Matter and sent virtual tips for the Ferguson protesters to deal with tear gas.
Meanwhile, Israel trains American police to kill Black people.
#blm
When George Floyd was murdered, Jews were out in the streets protesting and getting beat by cops along with our Black brothers and sisters. I didn't see Hamas protesting, nor did I see Hamas on social media posting in support of civil rights here in the US.
With Israel destroying Tal Al-Hawa’s Yazji Bakery, Gaza’s second biggest bakery, we had to queue for FIVE HOURS to buy $2.5 worth of bread for more than 15 kids.

Listen to the conversation between Hamas operatives as they discuss the failed Islamic Jihad rocket launch on the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital on October 17, 2023
I'm relieved to report that our dear friend
@itranslate123
is alive. He says that they experienced "Horrific bombings nearby. Reports that whole blocks were flattened. We had to flee the room to the hallway. The kids were terrified." Also says "we are fine," but he can't tweet.
The Israeli president holds up a copy of Mein Kampf containing post-it notes, claiming it was found on a body 'in a children's living room' in northern Gaza.
This was my meal for breakfast. The kids had double the amount. The little food from the remaining shops is running out (I have money to buy but don’t want to hoard.).
Water is strictly rationed.
Food is rationed.
Cooking gas is rationed.
We are taking far fewer showers.
I repeat: The UN ran like cowards and abandoned the people in Gaza city and the north.
The UN left their warehouses full of food and closed for Israeli warplanes to target them.
I stayed at a UN school shelter with the family after Israel bombed our building.
The shelter…

We are staying. Some families left to other areas also bombed by Israel. If we are bombed anyway, many believe we must stay wherever we are but also to prevent another Nakba/displacement of native Palestinians.
I was born and lived most of my life in Gaza under Israeli occupation and siege.
And this work by Jewish people is important and matters to us.
I never met a Jew who didn’t want to harm, shoot at, beat, or prevent me from traveling until I was 36 years of age.
Israel is not…

The young man, Ihab Tanboura, from the Beit Lahia project in northern Gaza, has a hearing disability, “deaf.”

A miracle saved us from Israeli missiles.

Guys, stop saying this. This is not a pro-Palestine position.
This is historically not true and inherently anti-Palestinian because it is based on the racist ideology that Palestinians can’t speak or organize for themselves.

Israel systematically target Palestinian journalists. So far about 15 journalists have been killed.
A lack of media coverage from Gaza ..
due to the killing more than 12 journalists, the bombing, and the blackout of electricity and the Internet.
However, we are still trying to withstand and continue coverage so the world can see the israili crimes in Gaza.

2. Don’t spend more time condemning anti-semitism. We have blanket rejection of all sorts of racism.

There are bad faith actors on all sides of this conflict. Why I respect human rights groups like
@hrw
is that they call out abuses wherever they see them. Today they have 2 reports, suggesting Hamas committed war crimes *and* that Israel’s Gaza blockade is also a war crime. 🧵
Israel uses rape lies/accusations against native Palestinians to demonize them and justify the Gaza genocide— much like white supremacists used rape lies against black men to justify the lynching and lies. Black people who believe Israel justify the lynching of black men.
Hamas’ rape of Israeli women, and other sexual violence, is appalling. There are not two sides to this behavior; it must be condemned unequivocally—without qualification.

Today, we entered the stage of "children first." Fresh water is about to run out, so we made a plan to fairly distribute each person's share of water, and we gave priority to the kids.
