Jewish extremists, not Muslims, carried out the deadliest terrorist attack against British subjects in history. Today marks the anniversary of the King David Hotel bombing. Zionist terrorists, disguised as Arabs, blew up the 🇬🇧 UK headquarters in Palestine, killing 91 people. In 2006, Israel unveiled a plaque celebrating the attack, and even blaming the victims for not evacuating. Netanyahu attended this event.

"Three children were burned in the car and no one could save them." An Israeli air attack hit two civilian cars in South Lebanon, killing three children and their grandmother. The mother is severely injured. Lebanese journalist Samir Ayoub says he was in the car in front of them and that the three girls, aged 10, 12 and 14, were his sister’s children. “There were no men in the car that was hit...Three children were burned in the car and no one could save them. And I pulled out their mother as she was screaming, ‘My children!’" Lebanon's Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib says Lebanon would submjt a complaint to the United Nations over Israel's killing of civilians.

ISRAEL'S WAR CRIMES TOWARDS PALESTINIANS 🧵 Mainstream narrative won't point the obvious: Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza, and the whole Palestine. Let's focus on few examples that violate Rome Statue of the International Criminal Court. Israel is not the member, but Palestine is. 1) WHITE PHOSPHORUS While white phosphorus in theory is not banned 'within battlefield', using it in civilian areas is. This highly toxic substance can cause high degree burns, destroy bones, liver, heart, kidneys and even cause death. Article 8.2.a.(iii) Wilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health; Article 8.2.b.(xvii) Employing poison or poisoned weapons; Article 8.2.b.(xviii) Employing asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases, and all analogous liquids, materials or devices; 🧵 1/6

2) ILLEGAL SETTLEMENTS There are currently around 250 illegal Israeli settlements in West Bank and East Jerusalem, lands that were meant to be under the State of Palestine. Total number of Israeli settlers on those areas is estimated to be around 733.000. Despite International Court of Justice’s opinion of their illegality, there are currently plans for 5.700 more settlement homes and areas (per June 2023). Article 8.2.b.(viii) The transfer, directly or indirectly, by the Occupying Power of parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies, or the deportation or transfer of all or parts of the population of the occupied territory within or outside this territory; 🧵 2/6

3) EXTENSIVE DESTRUCTION Recent assault on Gaza brought so far over 45% of Gazan housing units destroyed. Gaza is a closed space, one of the most densely populated areas on earth. Extensive destruction of civilian housing units that are not military targets is consider one of the elements of ethnic cleansing, since population is forced to move or not being able to rebuild homes – Israel forbids transport of building materials into Gaza. Article 8.2.a.(iv) Extensive destruction and appropriation of property, not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly; 🧵 3/6

4) PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE Only in the last days Israel bombed a hospital in Gaza, killing hundreds, the oldest Church in Gaza, Mosque, destroyed facilities that provides electricity and water. UN school was also destroyed, and rows of other public infrastructure and buildings. Article 8.2.b. (ix) Intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to religion, education, art, science or charitable purposes, historic monuments, hospitals and places where the sick and wounded are collected, provided they are not military objectives; 🧵 4/6

5) INTENTIONAL STARVATION Yoav Gallant, Israeli Defense Minister, said on 9 October: “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. (…) We are fighting human animals, and we are acting accordingly.” Transports of food and medications was almost impossible for many years. Even UN’s aid was forbidden by Israel from entering Gaza. 97% of water sources in Gaza is not for human consumption. Article 8.2.b. (xxv) Intentionally using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare by depriving them of objects indispensable to their survival, including wilfully impeding relief supplies as provided for under the Geneva Conventions; 🧵 5/6

6) HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE One of the most heinous examples of war crimes is deliberately targeting medical staff, hospital, UN & Red Crescent units and vehicles. People that should be protected under every possible international law can’t feel safe in Palestine, being under constant attacks from Israel. UNRWA lost 57 of their staff in Gaza. They were not ‘collateral damage’, there are of operations are well known and targeted those places must be consider a war crime. Article 8.2.b. (iii) Intentionally directing attacks against personnel, installations, material, units, or vehicles involved in a humanitarian assistance or peacekeeping mission in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, as long as they are entitled to the protection given to civilians or civilian objects under the international law of armed conflict. 🧵 6/6
