This woman is a soldier. You can see her uniform. Don't pretend that she is an innocent victim of terrorists. She has been taken as a prisoner of war, & based on history, she will be treated much better than Israel treats their prisoners. Shameful that you stand with Israel.
This is bullshit. There is no Hamas HQ under Al Shifa hospital in Gaza. I spent weeks at that hospital in 2014 and was very familiar with the Hamas leadership. Gaza is a small place. They jog in the streets. I wandered freely at Al Shifa, and know that this Tweet is bullshit.
Pictures from the al-Shifa hospital compound. Underneath the hospital is the main Hamas HQ. Over it, there are civilians living in a tent camp. The logistical and ethical dilemmas this presents to the IDF are staggering.

@BritsForIsrael
have been posting a photo of IDF soldiers inside Al Shifa hospital caring for premature babies. The photo is a fake. The photo was taken in Israel and posted first on November 8. The photo shows 2 soldiers with their new babies. This type of propaganda sucks.
Activists took to streets yesterday in New York city to denounce the Israeli massacres in Jenin and Nablus and to demand the release of Palestinians' bodies withheld by Israeli occupation authorities.
Shame on the world who is still silent and has not taken any action toward Israel's violence against Palestinian detainees yet.
#StopTorturingPalestinians
I wish that Nancy Pelosi had demanded "civility" from Israel when they bombed the shit out of Gaza in 2014 - when 1000's of Palestinians were murdered & maimed. Instead she remained silent. Now she demands "civility" from a Palestinian congresswoman who will not remain silent.
Reporter: Why were Israelis shooting people dead at the Gaza crossing? Israeli Govt Spokesperson: Well we can't put all these people in jail, we're talking about hundreds of people. This=confession to mass murder!

When it is related to Palestinian detainees, the world turns to be deaf and blind. What would you do if what they face had actually happened to you?

The only way forward for the denuclearisation of Iran is the total denuclearisation of Israel. What country in its right mind wants to remain at the mercy of a state that has a secret stash of WMD's - a state guided by victimhood & paranoia.
PM Netanyahu: "We know exactly what's happening with the Iranian nuclear program. Iran thinks it can achieve nuclear weapons.
I reiterate: Israel won't allow Iran to achieve nuclear weapons. I also call on all Western countries to impose snapback sanctions at the UN now."
Such a courageous young man - he is hit multiple times by Israeli sniper bullets, and yet he continues to stand up to his oppressor.

120 countries disagree. The U.S. and Israel have played the Hamas card for at least a dozen years now. They have used this to impose years of collective punishment and to drop hundreds of thousands of tons of explosives on Gaza & her people. We are done with the Hamas excuse.
This is bullshit. Hamas and other factions in Gaza are not recruiting and have not recruited or used child soldiers. During my residency of 16 months in Gaza in 2014 & 2015, including times of Israeli attacks & operations, there were no child soldiers. Total bullshit.
"ISRAEL SAYS" - Medhi, has Israel corroborated these claims with any proof. Can you say without any hesitation that this has happened? We should be very concerned that this story is being used to justify Israeli violence. Something smells rotten, very rotten.
“Israel says 260 dead at music festival attacked by Hamas”
I cannot imagine how horrific a massacre this must have been. 260 people gunned down. To put that in context, that’s the equivalent of more than five Pulse nightclub shootings.
Heartbreaking.
You assassinated a leader of the resistance in Gaza (& his wife). Did you not expect a reaction from those fighters who were under his command? I did not & do not support him, but it does not take a "rocket" scientist to know that his people would retaliate your assassination.
Since approx. 5:00am, Islamic Jihad in Gaza have been firing rockets at Israeli civilians.
Continuously.
The time is now 5:00pm.
That's 12 hours of rocket attacks.

Israel SELLS food, SELLS water, SELLS electricity to Gaza. They GIVE nothing. And they are legally required to provide. Do not pretend that Israel does any of this from the kindness of their hearts. They do not. They make a killing as sole source providers.
@LizaRosen101
RETALIATE! Send Gaza letters that say 'Allaha Akbar, god can provide you water and electricity from now on!'
Israel wont have to fire a shot! If they dont do something this will never stop!
Mothers (and fathers) (and families) sacrifice so much to send their sons and daughters to university in Gaza. I don't know this young man, but I salute his courage and his love.
One Israeli child was killed during Israeli's Operation Protective Edge in 2014. Over 500 Palestinian children were killed by Israel during the same operation. I personally encountered the mangled bodies and terrorized children. Tell me who has targeted and targets children.
This is Imri, a two year old living near Gaza. When Hamas fires rockets indiscriminately into Israel, they target Imri and children just like him. Listen to him tell his father what he feels when he hears air-raid sirens:
Israelis partied on border hillsides with beer in hand while Palestinians were slaughtered in Gaza. They cheered on Israeli military while they destroyed Gaza villages. Your party just continues horrific Israeli actions of 2014. If you think we will forget your party, think again
This photo was published a decade ago, & the description you have shared was debunked years ago, debunked over & over again. I lived in Gaza & attended many weddings & mass weddings. These little girl relatives were leading grooms to their adult brides as part of a ceremony.
On my 1st night in Gaza during a 2013 visit, I got separated from a group of filmmakers & writers who were visiting Gaza with me. I spoke no Arabic & was totally lost. 3 teens came up to me when they saw that I was lost & spent an hour helping me to find my friends. This is Gaza.
Unarmed people marching to the wall and they're shooting 'em

My friends in Gaza face huge challenges as they try to follow the directions of their Ministry of Health & the WHO. I know those challenges. But I know that they will do the best they can under impossible circumstances. Here is a prayer from a brother who loves them very much.
No. I will not. I have witnessed the deaths of over 200 protesters, including kids - & I have witnessed the maiming of thousands of others. I also lived through every minute of Israel's horrific bombardment of Gaza in 2014. I lived in Gaza and documented war crimes. I still do.
@santafeez
But the question Remains will you condemn the IED balloons being flown into

? and the explosions at the border fence, and rock throwing by the protestors...
I hated what you did every time I sat with a Palestinian child who was mangled by Israeli bombs.... some living... many dead..... only one child died in Israel that summer. 500+ died in Gaza. I saw many of these dead children as they were carried into my hospital.

This is bullshit. There have been thousands of Palestinian civilians who have been killed in the last dozen years. I knew some of them personally, and I witnessed the killing of over 500 children alone in 2014 during Israel's horrific bombing in Gaza. I was there and saw them.
@georgegalloway
This kid has nothing to do with the conflict. You can count on 1 hand the numbers of innocent palestinian civilians that god killed by israelis. However, you will need to bring hundreds of hands inorder to count the amount if isreali civilians that got blowned in buses/stabbed

I would return to Gaza in a heartbeat if it were not for restrictions imposed by Israel for entry - or restrictions imposed by Egypt and the USA. Entering Gaza now is virtually impossible. Gaza would welcome me but Israel, Egypt & USA do not want independent observers in Gaza.
You are badly misinformed. Gaza maintains a literacy rate that virtually equals that of Israel. There are 11 universities & colleges in the Gaza Strip with thousands of young men & women enrolled. Thousands in Gaza also have advanced degrees, including Masters degrees & PhD's.
I want to know the name of the sniper who shot this young boy. There must be one among the

who counts this shooting as an act of genocide - and who will come forth to condemn his comrade for the sake of what little humanity is left in Israel. We want the NAME and location.

During Israel's Operation Protective Edge 2014, the IDF killed over 500 Gaza children during its 51 days of horrific bombing. Not a single Israeli child was killed during that operation. And yet you claim to be their savior. I saw first hand what you did to these kids.
While children in Israel ran for shelter from incoming rocket fire from Gaza, these children in Gaza graduated from kindergarten.
Hamas is robbing the children of Gaza of their future, and attempts to rob the children of Israel of theirs. We won’t let them. No country would.
Israeli trolls and apologists are claiming that Gaza schools are teaching terrorism as a focus of their curriculum. But this is pure propaganda. I spent many days at Gaza schools, and I can assure you that they are teaching ABC's and math and science (and English).
We remember today our great Palestinian intellectual and writer Edward Said who passed away on 25th Sep. 2003.
He was an outspoken proponent of the political rights of the Palestinian people and the creation of an independent Palestinian state. His works and words live on.
RIP
Many friends on Twitter do not know that my journey to Gaza was inspired by the story of a 13 y/o boy - Hamid Abu Dagga. He was shot by a sniper while playing soccer with his friends outside of his home in Gaza in 2012. We never met / never spoke, but his death touched me deeply.
This Fox News report contains significant propaganda - including the statement that "major rockets were fired at large Israeli cities". Fox has failed to report on the murder of over 300 Palestinian protesters in the last 18 months and the bullet injuries to 1000's of others.
“It is a measure I guess of how twisted and shallow our depiction of a people is that these images come as a shock to so many. The world has visited many terrible things on the Palestinian people, none more shameful than robbing them of their basic humanity."
#BourdainDay
It takes a dark soul to kill a person who is a civilian - a nurse who is helping the injured in a time of violence - it takes a dark soul who has been subjected to years of brain-washing, probably from his birth. He is taught to be a killer and taught to hate.

An Israeli surfer/sniper got injured during protests along the separation fence with Gaza. His injuries got attention because he is a boy from California who enlisted in the IDF. Why is it that thousands of dead & seriously injured Palestinian protesters get no notice at all?

We will share the truth about your ugly propaganda and horrific assassinations until every one of your snipers and their commanders have been led in shackles before an international tribunal. They will be locked away to protect the rest of humanity from their inhumanity.
HAPPENING NOW: 40,000 violent rioters in Gaza, some armed with knives, explosives, and grenades, are attempting to breach Israel's border and reach Israeli families on the other side of the fence. If our soldiers weren't there, they could.

According to a post on social media, Palestinians have sarcastically offered the US President Donald Trump $100 billion to deport the Zionists from Palestine & resettle them in the U.S.
LMFAO - and take your wall with you.
The myth that Israel sends food and supplies to Gaza on a daily basis is just that - A HUGE MYTH. Israel merely controls the movement of goods, supplies & and people. Everything coming in to Gaza is purchased by Gaza merchants & intl organizations. No charity from Israel. NONE

Palestinian American Organizations Network (PAON) called on US President Joe Biden to adopt the same political standards on the Israeli occupation of Palestine that his administration adopted during the Russian-Ukrainian war.
If you want credible sources, please allow me to enlighten you. As an American who has actually lived in Gaza, I can assure you that IDF regularly enter the Gaza Strip with tanks & bulldozers - regularly destroy crops on Palestinian land - regularly shoot at farmers & shepherds.

In 2014, Walid also brought me to see the home where he would raise his family after being married. I was shocked. That home had also been bombed and there was severe damage everywhere. This type of atrocity becomes very personal when it is inflicted on your close friend.
During Israel's Operation Protective Edge Israel used in excess of 23,400 tank shells, 20,400 artillery shells and 2.9 million bullets. That is almost two bullets for every man, woman and child in Gaza. You would have us believe that this was the moral thing for Israel to do.
Since 2001, more than 17,000 rockets have been fired at Israel from the Gaza Strip. Thanks to Iron Dome and Israeli warning systems, these rockets have not caused the high rate of casualties Hamas intended.

Israel has not sent one read cent in aid to Gaza. Where do you come up with this nonsense. Anything that Gaza gets from Israel is a donation of a country or an NGO - or money that is owed to it. And any goods that come into Gaza are paid for by NGO's or Palestinians.

Hamas created fake social media profiles, using photos including this one, in an attempt to hack the phones of IDF soldiers.
What Hamas didn’t know was that Israeli intelligence caught onto their plot, tracked the malware & downed Hamas’ hacking system.

It's time to make it impossible for any Israeli sniper or any member of the IDF to travel outside of Israel. This can be accomplished by sanction imposed by any nation who stands against the murder of children and civilians in Gaza. This does not need ICC or the UN.
I am not a Muslim but as an American who spent months praying in the mosques and offices and streets and homes of Gaza, I have great reverence for the Muslim phrase -
"Allahu Akbar"
Why would I not?
It's meaning - "Allah (God) is [the] greatest".
Israeli snipers murdered two young men in Gaza today & have murdered 100's of others because they could do so with total impunity - without fear of prosecution from the international community - with the full support of the United States of America.
