*UPDATE: Yumna's account has been "restricted" by Twitter.* Bethlehem-based journalist Yumna Patel (https://twitter.com/yumna_patel) debunks one of the most dishonest talking points used by defenders of Israel: "Israel doesn't want to harm civilians but it has no choice because of what Hamas does." Not only does Yumna push back on this, stating that the numbers speak for themselves, but she cites a statement put out by Btselem, Israel's Human Rights organization. Yumna also discusses what it's like to be a journalist in a country that openly bombs press buildings, the problem with the "civilian victims" discourse and more.
