Character A Fervently Explaining The Research Rabbit Hole They've Stumbled Into To Character B.

Character A fervently explaining the research rabbit hole they've stumbled into to character B.

bonus: B is trying to sleep/falling asleep and A is like trying to explain as fast as possible/keep their attention for as long as possible because they need to talk about the random thing they found.

You, a heroic paladin have successfully slain a fearsome dragon. But the dragon warns you that death is but a door, and dragons don’t die, they reincarnate. You paid it no mind….until your son was born with golden, slitted eyes.

Fun fact: Gaza's tunnel industry thrived b/c of Israel's siege (2006-present) & one of the earliest uses was to smuggle KFC from Egypt🧵

We were literally being starved to near death until the 1st smuggling tunnel brought in Twinkies, crisps & biscuits, all were banned by Israel pic.twitter.com/jcGmjSudG8

$2\ In 2006, Israel decided to use starvation as a weapon against Gaza. Cruelty was the point. Israel's PM said "No fuel? Gazans can walk" (hospitals, water treatment facilities, schools, ambulances... all need fuel). His top aide said "we're putting Gaza on a diet"! STARVATION pic.twitter.com/w23zOOqivr — Muhammad Shehada (@muhammadshehad2) November 20, 2023$

$3\ Israel's siege was so absurd, so vindictive & so brutal to the extent that Pasta was banned (along with most foods, drinks & other necessities)! A literal calorie count was made of the bare minimum Gazan needed to survive but NOT live. Israel allowed in LESS than that count! pic.twitter.com/uWcrWn3gZD — Muhammad Shehada (@muhammadshehad2) November 20, 2023$

$4\ Egypt was under enormous US & Israeli pressure to close its borders with Gaza The Egyptian gov had to comply, but they tolerated the tunnels to prevent Gaza's demise Israel was the ONLY one closing down Gaza's air & water spaces, thus responsible for providing an alternative — Muhammad Shehada (@muhammadshehad2) November 20, 2023$

$5\ Some of the 1st goods to be brought in were biscuits, crisps, chocolate, twinkies (most were mashed & pulverized) As soon as the news broke, there were stampedes to buy anything. My father managed to buy some twinkies. I treasured it for days before eating it! pic.twitter.com/SpwNzd3hBC — Muhammad Shehada (@muhammadshehad2) November 20, 2023$

$6\ The early tunnels were also used to reunite families & lovers & to import vehicles, medicines, fuel, cigarettes... The only way to stop Gazans from building smuggling tunnels is to end the siege & reopen Gaza to the world. No human can live happily in a cage for 17 years! pic.twitter.com/oo2vhZ1VBm — Muhammad Shehada (@muhammadshehad2) November 20, 2023$

$7\Gaza is full of engineers & construction workers unemployable b/c of Israel's siege Hence the smuggling tunnels attracted many Egypt destroyed tunnels in 2015 & opened its borders for commercial goods Unemployment returned & Hamas recruited tunnel workers to build its "metro" pic.twitter.com/qZPbuYXLV9 — Muhammad Shehada (@muhammadshehad2) November 20, 2023$

$8\ The severity of Israel's siege changes across time as a tool of blackmail: "if you behave & keep quiet, you'll get some food & fuel" It was most insane in 2006-2009 In 2009, Israel allowed processed Hummus but banned "hummus with extras"👇 The siege is even worse since Oct 7 pic.twitter.com/GmOKx9Xt27 — Muhammad Shehada (@muhammadshehad2) November 20, 2023$

PS. This thread is to merely highlight a key factor that enabled the creation of Hamas' militant tunnels:

Endless occupation & a punishing siege punctuated by periodic wars creating record unemployment, poverty, despair & resentment that made it easy for Hamas to recruit & build
