The number of child soldiers confirmed in Gaza is growing, like 16-year old PIJ soldier Jumah Ghubn, proving that the large excess number of teen boys killed in the war were combatants. Complete silence from those who claim to care so much about Gazan civilian lives.

@mray2b1 @AdamRFisher @nytimes Being proud of racism is not a flex. Go back to your pointy white hat meeting

@mray2b1 @AdamRFisher @nytimes Well thank you for speaking over an entire ethnicity with utter bullshit

Unsurprisingly, Gazan dentist Sandra Muneer Redwan, who was reportedly offered a place at the University of Leeds @UniversityLeeds, supports Hamas (FYI: Yasser Abu Shabab was a Palestinian militant and the founding leader of the Popular Forces, an anti-Hamas armed group in the Gaza Strip). Redwan seems to think it’s “cool” that he no longer poses a threat to Hamas, and she has echoed the chant “Glory to the resistance.” Why is the UK importing these terrorist supporters? @ShabanaMahmood

I just don’t see any conservative outlet trying to shove Nick Fuentes down our throats and shine his image to be used against liberals or moderate republicans.

Remember: genocide means a deliberate attempt to exterminate a group, simply for being members of that group. That’s what “genocide in Gaza” alleges: that Israel is unsuccessfully attempting to exterminate every last Palestinian. Now, stand fast the fact that the only really high rate of Gazan deaths happened in the first months of the war and dropped to barely registering after the ceasefire (see graph below). One might suggest that had Israel been intent on wiping out everyone indiscriminately, they would have maintained their rate of killing. But what about the overall population of Gaza? If Israel had wanted to wipe out every Palestinian, you’d expect that overall total to fall, right? At some point, the word genocide has to survive contact with arithmetic. Gaza’s own records now sit in open contradiction with the claim that Israel attempted to destroy its population: approximately 121,000 live births since 7 October 2023, against a reported direct war death toll of just over 73,000. The extermination narrative looks increasingly absurd. More babies have been born in Gaza during the war than Gazans have been recorded as killed, including both civilians and combatants. The usual escape route is to say that genocide need not succeed. That is legally correct and intellectually evasive when deployed to make every contrary fact disappear. Genocidal intent still has to be proved, and the ICJ has held that, where it is inferred from conduct, the destruction of the group must be the only reasonable inference available. In Croatia v Serbia, it examined whether civilians had been spared, evacuated or allowed to survive when their supposed destroyers had the opportunity to kill them. Conduct preserving members of the protected population counted against genocide. Now apply that reasoning to Gaza. Start with polio. In September 2024, while Israeli troops were still fighting across the Strip, Israel agreed daily, area-specific pauses so Palestinian and international medical teams could vaccinate Gaza’s children. The first round reached 559,161 children under ten, around 95 per cent of the eligible population. Israel then agreed to do it again. The second round reached 556,774 children, with 448,425 children between two and ten also receiving vitamin A. The campaign required the delivery of 1.6 million vaccine doses, refrigerators, freezers, ice boxes and hundreds of vaccine carriers. WHO and UNICEF planned for the vaccines and cold-chain equipment to transit through Ben Gurion Airport before entering Gaza. A third campaign followed in February 2025. It vaccinated 602,795 children under ten, reaching 102 per cent of the estimated target because medical teams found children missed during earlier rounds. The combined figure is 1,718,730 administered polio doses. (That represents repeated protection of roughly 600,000 individual children, rather than 1.7 million different children.) Almost the entire under-10 population was reached again and again. These vaccines were administered by Palestinian health workers, WHO, UNICEF, UNRWA and their partners. Without Israeli cooperation, the campaigns could not have happened. UNICEF’s end-of-year report says the outbreak had been interrupted by July 2025. It also records 49,000 children under two receiving catch-up vaccinations, with coverage exceeding 80 per cent. BCG vaccinations rose from 37,471 in 2024 to 47,556 in 2025. It was an enormous public health enterprise, run over several months, involving thousands of workers and protecting nearly every child in Gaza from paralysis. That is the physical reality of what Israel enabled: the children it was supposedly trying to destroy were repeatedly protected against a disease that could disable or kill them. A coherent programme of genocide cannot be inferred by treating every Israeli action that preserved Palestinian life as irrelevant. The birth figures deepen the problem for the accusation. A reconstruction using Gaza Ministry of Health and civil registration records suggests approximately 12,000 babies were born during the final quarter of 2023, around 38,000 during 2024, 49,267 live births during 2025, and roughly 21,000 so far in 2026. The latest portion is necessarily estimated because complete July and August registrations have not yet been published. Many babies born during the first months had been conceived before 7 October. That explanation expired nine months into the war. Tens of thousands of children were subsequently conceived and delivered while Israel supposedly pursued the biological destruction of Gaza. Births fell below their pre-war level, hardly surprising amid displacement and combat. Miscarriages, premature births and maternal complications also rose. Nothing about those conditions was humane or desirable. However, the comparison remains devastating. Approximately 121,000 live births against just over 73,000 reported direct war deaths leaves a difference approaching 48,000. The number killed includes combatants as well as civilians, of course. Gaza’s overall resident population fell because the calculation includes outward migration, the missing and other demographic changes. The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics estimates that around 100,000 people left Gaza during the war. A decline driven substantially by people leaving a war zone cannot simply be relabelled as physical destruction. No Israeli advocate needs to pretend that civilian life in Gaza was tolerable. It was an urban war fought against an enemy dug into hundreds of miles of tunnels beneath neighbourhoods, hospitals, schools and camps. Hamas designed that battlefield to make civilian deaths unavoidable and politically useful. Israel issued evacuation warnings, created corridors and humanitarian zones, admitted food and medicine, coordinated medical evacuations, paused military operations and enabled almost 600,000 Palestinian children to receive repeated protection against polio. Around 121,000 babies were born during the war, far exceeding the reported direct death toll. The genocide allegation survives only by declaring every piece of exculpatory evidence meaningless. Births supposedly tell us nothing. Vaccinations tell us nothing. Food deliveries tell us nothing. Humanitarian pauses tell us nothing. Failed famine predictions tell us nothing. The absence of measured famine mortality tells us nothing. Such reasoning insulates the genocide accusation from reality. Every Palestinian death becomes proof of genocide, while every Palestinian life preserved through Israeli cooperation is dismissed as public relations. The simpler explanation: Israel fought a devastating war against Hamas, accepting extraordinary military and political costs while repeatedly undertaking measures to preserve Palestinian civilian life. Those measures were imperfect and sometimes failed, as measures do in war. Gaza’s own birth records, vaccination figures and famine evidence have hollowed out the allegations. A country attempting to destroy a people does not enable more than 120,000 births, facilitate 1.7 million childhood vaccine doses and support humanitarian operations feeding virtually the entire population. That is war, with all its brutality and tragedy. It is not genocide.

Bottom line: they’ve spent three years shrieking about genocide, backed by academic fraud. Now it’s collapsing, they’re throwing smoke to cover tracks. The Lancet papers claiming hundreds of thousands dead, the IPC and UN panels loaded with anti-Israel activists claiming famine

There’s no example in history of disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration working when one side insists on the other’s total surrender before taking any steps. This isn’t a recipe for “real disarmament.” It’s a recipe for perpetuating the stalemate in Gaza. Bibi knows it.

1) The Talmud does not say that. The Talmud doesn’t talk about gender. Judaism does not even acknowledge gender. The Talmud says there are two biological sexes, which are male and female, and there are a few types of genetic malformation that happen in nature, and discusses which category they belong to for the purpose of religious law. 2) If you’re gonna authoritatively quote the Talmud on this, are you also going to quote what it has to say about men wearing women’s clothing and women wearing men’s clothing? Or any other opinions you vehemently disagree with?

In June & July 2025 Israel was accused of killing "aid seekers" while the IDF said Hamas operatives dressed as civilians were attacking to disrupt GHF aid efforts. Now the truth is coming out: dozens of these fake "aid seekers" were combatants, like Abdul Rahman Abu Suwayreh.

More than two months later, the Gaza flotilla activists have a fresh round of abuse allegations. And @nytimes is happy to print them. But what about the evidence from the time that appears to show some of those claims didn’t happen? Apparently, The New York Times learned nothing from the “dog rape” fiasco. x.com/HonestReportin…

@BBCWorld frames preserving the 3,000-year-old site of Tel Samaria/Sebastia as "weaponizing archaeology", while omitting that it was the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Israel and later a main city in the Kingdom of Judea. By this logic, protecting Stonehenge or the Pyramids would be "political." Preserving history isn't weaponization; erasing it is. Once again, Jewish heritage is held to a standard no one else is. 🤷‍♂️

@BlindSpotsMag @CoreyWriting The book)

Hi @mehdirhasan, the definition does require a substantial portion of the group relative to the whole be destroyed. And that’s required to be so numerous to threaten the very existence of the group within the area of control. That’s what “in part” means to act with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a protected group, as such. 96.72% of Gaza is still alive, thankfully, this is not so substantial to constitute “in part” destruction. I’m more than happy to debate you, if you’d like. I know it didn’t go well when you debated @HausdorffMedia, so I understand if you’re reluctant to debate me, too.
