Claim 3
Throughout the entire history of Israel, it was only Benjamin Netanyahu who ever treated the terrorism problem as a problem for the regular military, whereas it was previously always addressed with targeted assassinations and special operations.

-
Claim 4
Historically speaking, no country at war is required to provide aid to enemy civilians.
Under modern international humanitarian law, particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, states parties to a conflict are legally required to allow and facilitate the rapid and unimpeded passage of humanitarian relief for civilians.
-
Claim 5
Israel has a long history of targeted assassinations
Israel has a well-documented history of utilizing targeted killings (assassinations) as a state and military policy, carried out by Mossad, Shin Bet, and the IDF since the state's founding.
-
Claim 6
You kept these people occupied for over 60 years
The Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories (the West Bank and Gaza Strip) began in June 1967 following the Six-Day War. As of 2023 or 2024, the occupation has been ongoing for 56 to 57 years, which is not 'over 60 years'.
-
Claim 7
You never gave them citizenship
Palestinians living under Israeli military occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip do not possess Israeli citizenship or the rights associated with it, unlike Israeli settlers in the same areas.

-
Claim 9
I [a Gazan] could go and work across the border.
In the period leading up to October 7, 2023, Israel had issued work permits to approximately 18,500 Palestinians from Gaza, allowing them to cross the border for employment in Israel.
-
Claim 10
Russia does not have a blockade around Ukraine.
Following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russia implemented a naval blockade of Ukraine's Black Sea ports, which halted critical maritime trade, particularly grain exports, until military actions and agreements like the Black Sea Grain Initiative partially bypassed or relieved it.
-
Claim 11
Hamas had 40,000 to 50,000 entrenched armed fighters before or during the conflict.
Independent intelligence and security estimates of Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, prior to October 7, 2023, generally range from 20,000 to up to 40,000 or 50,000 fighters when including all security forces and auxiliary units.
-
Claim 12
During the October 7th attacks, a Hamas militant called his parents from a kibbutz and boasted, "Mom, dad, I've killed some Jews."

-
Claim 13
There was an Arab Islamic massacre against Jews in Hebron in the 1920s, before the State of Israel or any Zionist entity existed.
The Hebron massacre occurred in August 1929 in British Mandatory Palestine, resulting in the murder of 67 Jewish residents, nearly two decades before the establishment of Israel in 1948.
-
Claim 14
There was an Arab massacre and pogrom of Jews in Safed (Svat) in 1834, when the northern city was under the Ottoman Empire.
During the 1834 Peasants' Revolt, local Arab rioters carried out a month-long assault and plunder of the Jewish quarter in Safed, resulting in numerous deaths and expulsions. Although temporarily occupied by Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt, the region was internationally recognized as part of the Ottoman Empire.
-
Claim 15
Exactly 114 years before the establishment of Israel (in 1834), Jewish communities in Palestine experienced violent attacks, looting, and the destruction of synagogues.
This refers to the events of 1834, specifically the 1834 looting of Safed and the Hebron pogrom during the Peasants' Revolt, where local mobs and soldiers violently attacked Jewish quarters, plundered homes and synagogues, and killed or injured residents.
