Trending tweets this week about Israel and the Jewish people: Why Gaza actually does have plenty of bomb shelters; the aftermath of a rocket attack in central Israel; a scene in Israel you’ll never see anywhere else in the Middle East, and IfNotNow’s ignorance of Israeli history is exposed, once again.
1. The AJC’s Avi Mayer destroys anti-Israel activist Omar Ghraieb.
Sure it does. One is in the basement of Al-Shifa Hospital, where Hamas maintains its military command and control center: https://t.co/8j8Oy8wb7j. Others are under mosques and schools and are connected to one another via tunnels. Surely you must know that. https://t.co/DMuf33rB00

4. Spoof account The Mossad reacts after two children were armed with knives and sent from Gaza into Israel.
Hamas just sent two 8-year old boys armed with knives to cross into Israel. They were caught by IDF personnel and returned safely into the Gaza Strip.
Although on second thought, we should have sent them to Child and Family Services. pic.twitter.com/1xridPzcZJ

6. This brilliant thread by Elder of Ziyon lays bare precisely what reporters repeatedly fail to acknowledge about Hamas’ strategy and actions in Gaza.
No other conflict is like this one. One side wants civilians on both sides to die and the other wants no civilians on either side to die.
Reporting on this as if it is a normal war, without understanding the basic goals of each side, is irresponsible.
— Elder of Ziyon ?? (@elderofziyon) March 25, 2019
To pretend that this is a normal conflict is irresponsible. It is a cognitive war. And too many journalists allow themselves to be used as weapons in this cognitive war.
Every report comparing the dead on both sides as if it's a game is a victory for Islamic terrorists.

7. The IDF ridicules the claim that it’s facing mere “unarmed protesters” on the Gaza border.

8. Avi Mayer returns, pointing out that Hamas rockets are far from “harmless”.
Drone footage from the site of this morning's Palestinian rocket strike near Tel Aviv, in which seven Israelis—including two infants—were wounded. The next time you hear someone say these rockets are "primitive" or "harmless," send them this video. pic.twitter.com/OJK3ef6AMJ

9. i24 News anchor Eylon A. Levy responds simply and smartly to more idiocy from IfNotNow, after the organization false claimed that Netanyahu has a history of warmongering around election season.
It actually shows the opposite, but whatever. https://t.co/IKvUQRBxv8

10. Elder of Ziyon wraps up this week’s list by holding Ilhan Omar to her word.
Correct. I'm waiting to hear you call out the many Muslims whose synagogue bomb plots that have been foiled by the FBI in the past decade, or the daily attacks Orthodox Jews in NYC suffer from people of color.
Or are you a hypocrite, @Ilhan? https://t.co/LtKxgasfQi
