I’ll admit I know very little about the ‘White Helmets’ & I’ve seen both sides on this platform slinging shit at each other so I’ve never tweeted anything about it. But seeing Israel being lauded for a ‘humanitarian act’ makes me very suspicious.

The White Helmets reported from the ground.

When verified, their evidence pointed to possible war crimes.

They've been bombed, smeared and trolled as a result.

The witnesses have been targeted, but the evidence remains. /

Thread ends.

Here, the racist sectarian war crimes apologist @AliAbunimah compares volunteer medics that live under constant threat of extermination from the Assad regime to a fascist militia that ran concentration camps and carried out mass sectarian slaughter. The White Helmets are medics. pic.twitter.com/aNDs4XgZph
