The case for the Gaza ground offensive and why the international community must wake up to the global risks of failed states like Russia and Palestine. A Thread against the dogma of the innocent and feeding terrorists through humanitarian backdoor.
A long read thread.
Let's start
#GazaGroundOffensive
#citizenship
#Israelunderattack
The dogma of the innocent was born after WWII. The international community first applied it to the citizens of Germany and Austria after their failed states threw the world into chaos, resulting in millions of people murdered in gas chambers and killed by atrocities outside the battlefield.
In battle, the same leaders, who labeled civilians innocent after victory, had no moral constraint to kill the same by the millions in areal war crime bombings of German cities (Dresden) and extinguished Japanese cities to break enemy morale and shorten the war.
Today, Israel faces another failed state in a battle for survival and its innocent civilian population, which forms an integrated part of the #hamas system, not different from the Germans on the eve of WWII.
#IstandwithIsrael
While there are many definitions of a failed state, this thread simply refers to any state where leadership has cemented power over institutions through violence, crime, and terror, rendering it impossible or deadly for activists to fight this regimen by non-violent democratic action.
The last election in Palestine took place in 2006. Since #Hamas took power in a violent coup in 2007, there has been no more, and Gaza is Hamas terrorist territory.source: www.jns.org
Citizens of failed states who choose to avoid becoming vivid supporters are given limited options for collaboration, emigration, or becoming bystanders who care for their own business only and stay under the radar. Any of these choices add stability to the system, enabling the same by action or non-action.
Failed states can directly punish and promote citizen action with no limits, as the individuals in control on the top feel fit. Benefits and grants, on the one hand, and punishments and suppression, on the other, seek to secure and grow control and power over people and resources.
We need to understand the social status and economic success within failed states in a direct context with state leadership. No anti-Putin oligarch can strive in Russia, nor an Anit-Hamas economy in Gaza.
Billions in humanitarian aid ended up in tunnels, rockets, and in support of international terrorism.
20,000 Gazean work permits for Israel may be canceled after stunning security details of many Kibuz communities were retrieved from killed Hamas gunmen.
In #Gaza, half its population are minors below 18 and actual hostages of terrorism, immobilizing their families’ ability to resist its leadership, generating humanitarian cash flow for terrorism, diverging media attention away from the true origin of misery, and serving as future martyrs. As role desirable to them, prepared as child soldiers and indoctrinated with lies from their early childhood onwards.
Western media can’t be wronger than praising #hamas for their “schools” of terrorism and “hospital” weapon depots & command centers.
Another half of Gaza’s population are women, who are denied executive representation like access to the political bureau and nearly any economic opportunity outside family and education, with virtually no pathways to financial independence. No law prohibits violence against women within the family, sexual violence included.

Western intifada romantics can’t be wronger than supporting a system of male chauvinistic violence against women and minors, which targets not only #Israel but any freedom worldwide, including fundamental human rights.
The discussion of Hamas support inside Gaza is crucial for Western hopes of peaceful regime change and moderation. After deducting 50% of minors for the 2.3 Mio population and 50% of women without participation in executive power, the actual number is around 500,000 males, of which 40,000 are registered as fighters and security personnel.
Hamas received about 440,000 votes in the last 2006 election before this organization toppled the government and took absolute power in a military coup. With West Bank / Gaza population split of 3 vs 2 million and male domination in Gaza society taken into account, around 100,000 men may have voted for Hamas in Gaza in 2006 out of 170,000 Gaza Hamas votes. Suppose we apply the average family size in Gaza of 5,7 people. We estimate 600,000 men, women, and children supported Hamas in 2006.
Today, the same number of people (600,000 out of 2,300,000) earn from government salaries if we account for 40,000 government workers, 20,000 fighters, and another 20,000 security staff with six people living in each family. The actual number is much higher as the Hamas elite controls the government and the private sector business with the government.
In 2022, UNICEF reported that 80% of Gazans rely on humanitarian aid controlled by HAMAS.source: www.unicef.org
It is safe to link political support to economic conditions in one of the poorest communities on the planet under international blockade since 2007.
A July 2023 poll revealed a solid “at least somewhat positive view” of Hamas by 57% of Gazans, who favor pure terrorist groups like Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and Lion’s Den with an absolute 75% majority.

With no alternative in income for so many lives, it is safe to conclude that the Hamas grip on Gaza passed the point of no return long ago. A failed state has materialized under international collusion with terrorists and the support of its people.
Gaza in October 2023 is the ultimate humanitarian disaster, in the correct understanding that humanitarian-led decision-making led to disaster.
Nothing clarifies the point better than the EU’s ongoing funding of water pipes despite Hamas’s boast it could turn them into rockets for military use, even in the wake of Oct. 9th monstrous terror attack against civilians, killing 1400 men, women, children, and even babies and firing thousands of such makeshift rockets out of civilian areas against Israel, which constitutes a war crime by itself.
Newspaper article: www.telegraph.co.uk
Gaza in October 2023 is the ultimate failed state disaster, a recent media controversy about 500 alleged victims revealed. Reputed Western media outlets magnified disinformation without fact-checking. A Palestinian disinformation narrative of an Israeli air strike on a hospital enflamed violent protests in various countries, not for the first time.
The BBC and others must have been warned from the infamous 2002 Jenim refugee camp incident, where the Palestinian side claimed a “massacre” with nearly 500 deaths among the civil refugee camp population, a pure propaganda lie.
In 2002, the Jenin refugee camp, covering an area of 0.423 square kilometers, was home to 13,055 registered Palestinian refugees. Palestinian militants used the refugee camp to launch rockets against Israel from inside until the IDF entered and stopped the terror attacks.
The Human Rights Watch (HRW) Report on Jenin which dismantled this 500 deaths lie can be found here: hrw report on Jenin
HRW (www.hrw.org) is the same international organization condemning Israel for violation of human rights regularly, last time in October 2023, for its “unlawful blockage deadly for children.”
Although HRW also condemned Israel in Jenin for the unlawful non-systematic killing of civilians, it was able to verify only 52 Palestinian deaths from the fighting in total from its investigations with Palestinian sources on the ground and witnesses. Of 52 confirmed deaths, at least 27 were armed Palestinians from movements such as Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and the al-Aqsa Martyr’s Brigades.
There were 23 unarmed civilian deaths, not 500 in 2002 Jenin incident. A similar truth-to-lie ratio is to be expected from Hamas October 2023 propaganda coup, successful because Hamas can act with a failed state authority and Western media ignorance and negligence with regard to "official information".
Hamas maintains that 471 people were killed. Its initial toll of 500 was cited by media outlets worldwide in the hours after the blast, despite questions of how it could have credibly arrived at the number so quickly.
A senior European intelligence source told AFP that he believed a maximum of 50 people were killed.

French media cited a European source saying there are approximately 10-50 deaths from the errant rocket blast in the hospital parking lot, not the 471 claimed by Hamas. https://t.co/xGs8lJHP5s

Gaza in October 2023 is the same situation as in Jenin in 2002, only worse.
History repeats itself with one crucial difference.
Since Jenin’s experience, the IDF has tried to limit terror attacks without ground operations through massive investments in technology, aerial campaigns, and the blockage of the Gaza Strip. At the same time, hundreds of Billions of humanitarian funds have flown into Gaza, hoping to normalize the relationship between Israel and Hamas, support moderation of Hamas, and focus on economic development instead of terror against its neighbor Israel.

Israel boosted work visas for Gazans by 1,500 to 20,000 last year. It signaled a willingness to meet a 30,000 visa quota requested by Palestinians based on security stability.

A Terror attack of monstrous magnitude has terminated hopes for peaceful coexistence with Hamas altogether.
Neither Hamas nor the Gazans can be exempt from responsibility for their failed state. On the ground, Hamas must be removed from its power base as a failed state jailor of the people of Gaza once and forever. As it happened with ISIS, it is the task of the international community to degrade Hamas back to its origins as a simple terror group.
Hamas stole Billions from the people of Gaza for tunnels, weapon depots, launch sites, and leadership luxury life far away from the Gaza Strip misery.
More humanitarian aid is the problem in Gaza, and not the solution is the lesson for the UN and Western leaders.
They and Arab neighbors support Gazans only as long as they stay in Gaza, firmly rejecting any Palestinian refugees on their soil, for a reason Palestinians are well advised to investigate.
The people of Gaza are the ones responsible for bringing their house to order and need to learn to love their kids more than they hate Israel.
Civilians inside Gaza are given a reasonable chance for evacuation and warnings before particular bombings.
Israel will conduct its military operation against Hamas terrorists in plain daylight, with the world watching closely for the lawful treatment of civilians;
Chances to stay alive and safe #HamasTerrorists did not grant 1,400 Israeli men, women, children, and babies.
I do not post any pictures or videos.
The End.
