'Israel' deletes tweet exposing genocidal intent
Numerous documented statements reveal "Israel's" systematic dehumanization of Palestinian people amid the ongoing genocide.
Amid a hysteric military aggression on Gaza, "Israel" conducts a widespread misinformation and incitement campaign through various media outlets and social platforms. The primary targets of this campaign are Palestinians, and it aims to dehumanize and demonize them, potentially paving the way to "justify" genocide.
The Israeli occupation has reportedly intensified its efforts to manipulate public perception and shape the narrative surrounding the ongoing Israeli brutality. Traditional media, as well as social media platforms like YouTube and X, have become battlegrounds for this disinformation campaign.
In a related development, "Israel" recently deleted a tweet dated June 11 that conveyed genocidal intent, featuring a video asserting that "there are no innocent civilians" in Gaza, Palestine. The account, which is run by the Israeli government, had even paid to promote the video before ultimately deleting it.

It made clear Israel believes Gaza's entire population have collective guilt.
The point was to diminish outrage at slaughtered civilians, because they're not 'innocent'.

Tayab Ali, an international law attorney and director of the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians, observed that the removed tweet indicates genocidal intent.
In October, Israeli Raz Segal, an associate professor specializing in Holocaust and genocide studies, characterized the aggression against Gaza as a “textbook case of genocide." Segal highlighted instances of specific intent for genocide, citing Security Secretary Yoav Gallant's statement about "fighting human animals" and "acting accordingly". He also referenced Army spokesperson Daniel Hagari's comment that “the emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy."
The genocidal statements persisted, with Israeli military general Ghassan Alian echoing Gallant's dehumanization of the Palestinian people.
Alian said, “Human animals must be treated as such… there will only be destruction. You wanted hell, you will get hell."
Former Israeli UN ambassador Dan Gillerman also supported Gallant's genocidal rhetoric, saying, “I am very puzzled by the constant concern which the world… is showing for the Palestinian people and is actually showing for these horrible inhuman animals."
In November, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made another notable statement indicating genocidal intent, in which he said, “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember”.
This statement is a subtle signal of genocide endorsed by the Israeli far-right wing.
Media complicity: Unveiling the role in genocide
In November, Israeli state broadcaster Kan 11 removed a deeply troubling video showing Israeli children singing: "We will annihilate everyone" featuring Israeli occupation forces destroying Gaza in the background. The song and video were produced by Israeli public relations firm Rosenbaum Communications.

Western media support this viewpoint. The US-based Atlantic magazine went as far as stating that "it is possible to legally kill children," introducing the term "legally killed child."
At least 100 #Palestinians were killed in a massacre committed by Israeli occupation forces in al-Rashid Street, to the west of #Gaza City as the starved civilians were waiting in line to receive much-needed aid from convoys.
