Frank Hoogerbeets, the controversial Dutch seismologist, made his last appearance on the X platform (formerly Twitter) with a tweet addressing the issue of Palestine, highlighting that “in 1948, over 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced from their lands.”
Renowned for his regular tweets correlating global seismic events with planetary alignments, where he often forewarned and affirmed his predictions, such as “I anticipated this earthquake…” or “I cautioned about this seismic activity…” or “Exercise caution in the coming week due to critical celestial configurations…,” Hoogerbeets is a figure known for sparking debates in the scientific community.
Throughout the Gaza conflict, alongside his usual seismic updates tied to planetary movements and his periodic astronomical forecasts shared through SSGEOS, the research institute he leads, Hoogerbeets began incorporating tweets discussing the Palestinian cause, its roots, and historical context.
In the past few days, however, there has been a notable absence of tweets or astronomical prognostications from Hoogerbeets, despite recent significant seismic activities globally, including a noteworthy 6.9 magnitude earthquake in the Philippines.
His final appearance on the X platform featured a tweet focused on Palestine, reminding followers of the Palestinian tragedy and stating, “In 1948, over 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced from their lands.” Hoogerbeets replicated this content on his Facebook account and has maintained radio silence since.
Prior to this hiatus, he had issued warnings about the intensity of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, suggesting a potential seismic impact on the region. On his X platform (formerly Twitter) account, he expressed, “The global community must compel Israel to cease this reckless behavior. Beyond the ongoing humanitarian crisis, these airstrikes could eventually trigger a significant seismic event in the area, hastening the occurrence of a major earthquake along the Dead Sea.”
