Families that have been murdered by Hamas on Oct 7🧵 1/ The Kotz family. They were found dead in their home at kibbutz Kfar Aza embracing each other. They were buried side by side.

How Palestinians Strangled the Bibas Babies and Clumsily Tried to Make it Look like an Airstrike (WARNING--EXTREMELY GRAPHIC) The Palestinians thought they were being very slick when they mutilated the corpses of the Bibas babies, apparently believing that all they had to do to conceal the evidence of their crime was to inflict enough gruesome injuries post-mortem to make it seem plausible that an Israeli airstrike had killed them. Unbeknownst to the jihadists who did this, however, modern medical technology makes it possible to identify the actual cause of death even after Palestinians attempted to conceal their crime. In cases like this one, where the attempt at concealment is so clumsy and heavy-handed, what actually happened is so obvious that Israeli forensic teams were able to submit their findings to the international community for independent verification within 24 hours. Here are some dead giveaways: 1. Examination of Neck Tissue: Strangulation typically leaves distinct markers, even if the body is later mutilated. Hemorrhages in the soft tissues of the neck, like the strap muscles or larynx, can persist even after decomposition has begun. CT scanners can produce high resolution reconstruction of 1 mm slices of tissue, exposing fine fractures and soft tissue irregularities associated with strangulation. These can even be present if external bruising is obscured by cuts or burns inflicted after death. A fractured hyoid bone or thyroid cartilage is another red flag—common in manual or ligature strangulation, but not something an explosion would typically cause. 2. Petechial Hemorrhages: Tiny blood vessel ruptures in the eyes, face, or neck are a classic sign of strangulation due to increased pressure in the blood vessels. These wouldn’t naturally occur in an explosion unless the blast somehow mimicked that exact mechanism—which is rare and would require specific scrutiny. For it to happen the exact same way to two kids at the same time is so improbable as to be essentially ruled out as impossible. 3. Lung and Airway Evidence: Strangulation often results in minimal air in the lungs or signs of asphyxia, like fluid buildup. An explosion, especially one strong enough to mutilate, might cause blast lung (overpressure damage), but the pattern would differ—think shredded lung tissue versus the more subtle signs of oxygen deprivation. 4. Wound Analysis: Mutilation to fake an explosion would involve cuts, burns, or fragmentation injuries. Forensic experts can distinguish antemortem (before death) from postmortem (after death) wounds. Strangulation signs—like neck hemorrhages—happen while the heart’s still pumping. Mutilation wounds inflicted after death lack bleeding or inflammation, exposing the timeline. Explosion injuries also have unique traits: shrapnel tracks, blast wave patterns, or searing from heat. If those are absent or look staged (e.g., no soot in the airways), it’s a giveaway. As an aside, this entire situation--murdering two babies, mutilating their corpses to conceal evidence of the crime, and then blaming their deaths on external factors--brings the modus operandi of Palestinians to its natural and gruesome conclusion. I can't think of a better metaphor for who the Palestinian people are, and how they operate on the world stage, than what they've done with the Bibas babies.

The treatment of the Bibas family has been heartbreaking. What kind of monsters attack defenceless children and murder them with their bare hands? Hamas is nothing but a sick death cult. Enough of the BBC’s nauseating moral equivocation between Israel and Hamas.

“Ariel and Kfir Bibas were murdered by terrorists in cold blood. The terrorists did not shoot the two young boys—they killed them with their bare hands. Afterwards, they committed horrific acts to cover up these atrocities.” -IDF Spokesperson RAdm. Daniel Hagari

9-month-old Mila Cohen was murdered by Hamas during the October 7th Massacre. She was shot in her own home while her mother was holding her in her arms. The mother was wounded but survived. Mila’s dad Ohad and her grandmother Yona were also murdered that day.

It will forever boggle my mind that there exists an organisation that can kidnap 1 and 3 year old babies, kill them, parade their coffins on stage to cheering crowds of civilians, and still be considered the victims by morons in the west.

This is the first time I've seen a real concentration camp in Gaza.

They murdered his wife, 2 daughters and his brother. They starved him in their terror tunnels in Gaza. Meanwhile, large parts of Western media and academia continue to cheer them on, portraying Hamas as freedom fighters instead of terrorists.

Free Palestine? I went to see ‘Palestine’… and almost didn’t make it out alive. After asking questions on the streets of Ramallah for less than an hour, a group of Palestinian men threatened to kill us if we didn’t delete our footage. This is what we were able to recover… Welcome to the WILD WEST BANK. If you want the world to know the TRUTH about what Israelis are dealing with every day, please repost and share this with EVERYONE you know. #israel #palestine #gaza #westbank

⚠️ Difficult to read: Systemic and premeditated gang rape of underaged girls, boys, men and women in four different locations: First official report of the Israeli Association of Rape Crisis Center details all the evidence of Hamas’ sexual violence and crimes against humanity on October 7th. Excerpts from the report: “Many of the acts of rape were carried out in a group manner, with cooperation between the abusing terrorists. Often, the rape was committed in front of an audience - spouses, family or friends - in a way designed to increase the pain and helplessness of all present and to sow additional terror and to increase the pain and humiliation for all present… Many victims' bodies were found mutilated and bound, with sexual organs brutally attacked, and in some cases, weapons were inserted into them. Some bodies were discovered deliberately booby-trapped. Some Hamas members pursued victims who escaped the massacre, dragging them by their hair with screams. The majority of victims were subsequently killed during or after the sexual assault.” The report detailed information solely from identified sources that were allowed to be published, but the analysis included additional confidential sources of information, which cannot be published. The report will be submitted to the United Nations.

"Hamas terrorists beheaded my son and tried to sell his head in Gaza,” revealed David, the father of Adir Tahar, a victim of a brutal terrorist attack on October 7th. He detailed the horrific treatment of his son's body. "My son's death was incredibly difficult to come to terms with. The terrorists fired an anti-tank missile at him, then threw three grenades. The autopsy report showed that Adir's entire body was ravaged, and his head was missing. They took his head to Gaza. For two and a half months, I desperately sought information about its whereabouts. It was a grueling task - receiving a headless body," he explained. Adir's father, in deep sorrow, said, "I demanded to see the body. They warned me against it, but as a father, I needed to know every detail about my child’s death. Half an hour before his burial, the body arrived at the cemetery. When I opened the casket, I realized what I was burying. He was unrecognizable. As we buried Adir, I knew I was interring my child without his face, so I had to keep searching for it." The grieving father spent weeks searching for a lead. "I reviewed all the videos and eventually found footage of my son missing a critical part of his body." David recounted, "Three weeks ago, during the interrogation of two Hamas terrorists arrested in Israel, they confessed that one of them had attempted to sell my son's head for $10,000 in Gaza. The IDF then entered Gaza, searched an ice cream shop's freezer, and there, in a suitcase, they found my son's head, which had also been desecrated. At least I was able to bury him with the little dignity that remained." May Adir’s memory forever be a blessing. 💔

Ok, you want to know from a lawyer why the allegation that Israel is committing genocide is false? Fine. I prefer to focus on the absurdity of the allegation, especially since it is Hamas that expressly seeks Jewish & Israeli genocide; but it's clear people want this analysis. Genocide is defined by the 1948 UN Convention on Prevention & Punishment of the Crime of Genocide as: (1) the coordinated; (2) planned; and (3) intentional destruction, in whole or in part, of a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. Let's set aside for a minute the fact that the the #UN Convention regarding #genocide was adopted because of what the #Nazis had done to the #Jews thereby making its invocation here not only absurdly false, but also unforgivably offensive. That outrageousness aside, we can analyze the elements of the crime of genocide under the present situation in #Gaza. The requisite mens rea to find a government guilty of genocide is the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a particular group of people. This intent to commit genocide doesn't magically come into being just because people want to believe it exists. There must be actual proof of criminal intent to destroy a particular group of people. #SouthAfrica cannot possibly carry its burden of showing Israel "intended or intends to commit genocide"; thus, the allegation fails. Just some of the obvious reasons intent to commit genocide could not possibly be shown follow: - 10/7 & Hamas' words since 10/7 have proven the #terror group would, if it could, continue carrying out massacres until it killed every #Israeli & potentially every #Jew on Earth. Israel, like every other UN member state, has the inherent right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter. In this case, Israel's right to self-defense continues until it has done everything "necessary" to to ensure #Hamas can never attack Israeli civilians again because of: (1) the genocidal brutality of the #October7Massacre; (2) Hamas' 35+ years of genocidal warfare against Israel & Jews; & (3) Hamas' express & repeated commitment to repeat massacres like 10/7 "again and again." Therefore, Israel's right to self-defense includes both the right to eliminate the threat from Hamas to its civilians & to restore a sense of security to its civilians. - The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry claims 22,000 #Palestinians have died. Even if that number was reliable (it is not), Hamas claims every one of the deaths was a civilian, not a #HamasTerrorist. That is obviously not the case. Israel claims to have killed ~9,000 Hamas terrorists. Even assuming the Hamas numbers were correct, that would mean about 1.45 civilians have been killed for every 1 "combatant" (Hamas terrorist). As horrible as the loss of any civilian life is, it is simply a fact that civilians suffer disproportionately in war & what Israel has done in protecting civilian lives is unprecedented in the history of urban warfare. In fact, according to the UN statistics of global conflict, the average civilian to combatant killed ratio is 9 civilians killed for every 1 combatant killed. This ratio in and of itself makes the allegation of "genocide" a complete absurdity. - Even assuming the "worst case scenario" numbers above of ~9,000 terrorists killed & ~13,000 civilians killed still does not take into account the cause of those civilian deaths. We know that somewhere between 20%-35% of all Hamas & #Palestinian #Islamic #Jihad missiles misfire & land in Gaza (like the one that landed at a Gaza hospital that Israel was wrongly accused of bombing). So, how many Gaza civilians were killed by misfired rockets from Palestinian terror groups? Suddenly, that already incredible ratio of civilians:combatants in the annals of warfare is improving even further. - There are at least dozens of videos of Hamas #terrorists firing at #IDF troops while wearing civilian clothing (which is itself a #WarCrime) to blend in with the civilian population. So, how many Gaza "civilians" who were killed were actually just Hamas terrorists wearing #civilian clothing? That civilian:combatant ratio is improving once again. - We know from video, reconnaissance, audio, interrogations, & eye-witness accounts (including from #Gazans themselves) that Hamas uses both voluntary & involuntary human shields to protect Hamas terrorists & their weapons (each time they do it, that is also a war crime). So, how many Gaza "civilians" who were killed were voluntarily acting as human shields for Hamas? And while Israel has made significant efforts to limit civilians casualties, those involuntary human shields who die are legally dead at the hands of Hamas. Wow, that civilian:combatant ratio is looking beyond amazing now! - There is video, photo, interrogation, & eye-witness accounts that Hamas uses women & children under 18 in combat roles. Therefore, not every allegedly killed woman or child counts as a "civilian." - What kind of genocidal army would do what Israel has been doing in engaging in massive warning campaigns before it attacks via hundreds of thousands of phone calls, text messages, leaflets, & via roof knocking? Gazans are actually given so much warning & time to evacuate that the extreme majority of "civilians" who remain in a targeted area are there either because they support Hamas or because they were forced to stay & act as human shields by Hamas. Essentially, not only is Israel obviously not conducting a genocide, it has completely eliminated their own advantage of surprise that would have helped Israel eradicate Hamas much quicker by providing warnings that reach both civilians & Hamas terrorists. - A large percentage of Palestinian deaths in Gaza have been due to their combined use by Hamas as human shields & by Hamas' refusal to permit Gaza civilians to either to use Hamas tunnels as bomb shelters or to flee via safe corridors provided by the @IDF (what kind of genocidal army provides safe corridors for civilians even knowing some Hamas terrorists will manage to escape by blending in with the crowd???). In other words, it is Hamas that is by far the most responsible party for putting #Gazan #civilians in harm's way; and the mere fact that civilians have died is in no way indicative of any deliberate intent on the part of Israel to kill Palestinian civilians - let alone intentionally "destroy" the population, as required to prove genocide. - A country's intention to destroy a group in whole or in part is typically found in state policy (as it was with the Nazis & as it is with Hamas). However, no such policy in Israel has ever existed. Israel has made clear repeatedly (and its actions, with some examples stated above, show this is more than just words) that its goal is to "operate[] against Hamas & other terrorist groups in Gaza, not against the civilian population ... Israel wishes no harm to civilians & is committed to addressing the humanitarian needs of those suffering ..." - Simply, the loss of lives in Gaza are reasonably explained by & attributable to Israel's necessary self-defense military goal of eradicating Hamas' ability to make war. The loss of lives in Gaza are not, however, reasonably explained by some claimed genocide on the part of Israel, as there is no actual evidence to support a finding of the type of criminal intent required to prove genocide. - Israel is a straight-up parliamentary #democracy; thus, it has voices in the Knesset that can be extreme. Those voices, however, are not mainstream; and, more importantly, those voices are not the ones who are responsible for prosecuting the war against Hamas. Therefore, their words (indelicate as they may have been) are irrelevant to a finding of genocide on the part of the government of Israel. The Israeli war cabinet in charge of prosecuting the war to eradicate Hamas consists of only five people: PM Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, unity coalition member, former Deputy PM, & Minister of Defense Benny Gantz, former military Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, & Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer. Attempting to attribute the words of anyone else, especially in the very fringes of Israel's eclectic democratic government, to try to show proof of government intent to commit genocide fails as a matter of both fact & law. Any comments by the five members of the war cabinet at which any dishonest person may wish to point to try to prove "intent to commit genocide," in reality can only be reasonably interpreted as statements referring to the destruction of the Hamas terrorist regime. So, what is the takeaway? It is South Africa's burden to show Israel had/has the intent to carry out a "genocide" of the Palestinian people in Gaza. For the foregoing reasons (among many others - but this is long enough for X), South Africa cannot possibly prove intent to commit genocide. South Africa's allegations are defamatory & are an attempt to hold the world's only Jewish State to a different standard than every other state in the history of humankind; and, perhaps worse, to try to turn the victims of a genocide into the alleged committers of a genocide. Were the #ICJ to find intent to commit "genocide" here, then no country on Earth would be permitted to act in self-defense in the event it is attacked - no matter how horrible the attack - if any civilians may be killed in the process. If that were the case, Hamas & other terrorist organizations would be given carte blanche to attack countries with impunity & then simply hide behind civilians to suddenly become entirely immune from justice. That obviously can never be the law. #Education #Israel #Palestine
