I just spoke to my brother, who is in southern Gaza. He was driving back to where he's staying in the evening, when he was surrounded by Hamas's masked gunmen, who raised their weapons at him, asking him for ID & if he had guns on him. He let them search his car and answered all

Hamas's methodology: fight in flip-flops & civilian clothes, hide in schools, hospitals, tunnels, set up aid theft/looting gangs, leave 2 million Gazans to face a ferocious war on their own, only to miraculously find your clean uniforms, guns & cars when a ceasefire is announced.

I went to the UCLA campus last night and spent a few hours there before the police dispersed the encampment. I wanted to see the pro-Palestine student protests for myself and get a sense of the atmosphere, energy, and students, as well as the movement's focus and the desired

Uncomfortable truth: Israel received billions in foreign aid and built defensive systems and bomb shelters for its citizens everywhere with some of it; Hamas got billions in foreign aid and built offensive systems, no shelters, and tunnels underneath its citizens with all of it.

Gaza is the only war in modern history in which people insist on having a civilian population remain trapped in a war zone, and any attempt to get them out of harm's way is met with condemnation, all while refusing to call out the evil terror organization that started the war.

🧵1/17 I just listened to a live Twitter discussion in Arabic hosted by multiple Palestinian dissidents & activists, many from #Gaza, titled: "Gazan perspectives trample the opinions of Twitter Mujahideen." They tore into #Hamas & offered opinions on the war in Gaza. Key points:

I feel immense shame and pain seeing the barbarism that Hamas & a slew of terror organizations put on in Gaza – the depravity of armed men thinking it’s courageous to parade the bodies of literal toddlers and their mother as some trophy for victory; the sickness, evil, and

Congratulations to the "pro-Palestine" movement in the US, Europe, and elsewhere. You refused to call out Hamas, celebrated or excused October 7, wanted a ceasefire without the release of hostages whom you demonized and called "prisoners of war", thought your vicious "activism"

Anti-Hamas protests are breaking out in northern and southern Gaza, asking "Where is the press?!" Of course, Aljazeera & leftists or "independent" Western media are nowhere to be seen because they will never disrupt the Hamas-centric "resistance" narrative. Expose them all now!

Scary Zionist doctors & nurses? I have significant asymmetric hearing loss in my left ear from an IDF bombing that almost killed me in Gaza as an 11-year-old & killed two friends of mine (I’ve talked about this incident in past pieces that were published). This injury still

Hamas is looking for the bodies of Israeli hostages in Gaza by digging for tunnels that it placed under an entire residential city where there were thousands of apartments. This is under the Qatari-built Hamad City in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. Hamas gave itself the right to use

How much more of a revolutionary cosplayer do you have to be to forcefully occupy a building, create an artificial "blockade" against yourself, and then demand "humanitarian aid" to be allowed in after a mere 12 hours because you're concerned about starving and dehydrating "to

Reporter grills Columbia student after she demands the university help feed protestors occupying Hamilton Hall: "It seems like you're saying, 'we want to be revolutionaries, we want to take over this building, now would you please bring us some food'."

Readers added context
Her claims are misleading: (1) Per Columbia, campus dining is open (John Jay Dining Hall, Fac Shack, JJ's Place) dining.columbia.edu/news/service-c… (2) Humanitarian aid is for saving lives in the most dire situations (violent conflict, natural disasters). The students can leave if they want. worldvision.ca/stories/disast… humanitariancoalition.ca/from-humanitar…

Aljazeera documented how Hamas's al-Qassam Brigade fighters emerged from the Nasser Hospital complex with their weapons and vehicles in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, as soon as the ceasefire went into effect, similar to how they emerged from displacement tents 3 days ago.

Shame on the Red Cross for being a willing participant in Hamas's despicable theatrics. Parading young Israeli female hostages in front of a mob of militants and local residents who were herded into participating in the spectacle is not only terrible for the women, but it
