I searched a Gaza war crimes archive for my family.
I quickly realized I wasn’t using it the way most people would. I wasn’t browsing it as an activist, researcher or journalist.
I was looking for my family.
My heart sank as I filtered the archive by the dates we lost them and searched for someone I loved.
I found footage I hadn’t seen before of the bombing of the Church of St. Porphyrius, where my cousin Soliman was killed.
I searched for the day my great aunt Elham was murdered, and the day Nahida and Samar Anton were killed by Israeli snipers at the Holy Family Catholic Church.
Eyewitnesses told us Elham was crushed by an Israeli tank. I have graphic photographs of her body that were sent to me by church workers in Gaza, but I found no footage of what happened.
It made me wonder how many people died without leaving behind any visual record.
The realization stayed with me.
Here was a digital graveyard where pieces of my own family history are preserved for journalists, historians, truth seekers and, undoubtedly, those seeking to exploit or consume human suffering.
I know I won’t be the only person to experience this. Other Palestinians searching for loved ones almost certainly will too. But it struck me that this is a form of grief that could scarcely have existed before our time.
It’s a form of grief I never imagined could exist.
Israel's gov wants you to believe this incredibly sweet avuncular Jewish grandpa is an "antisemitic monster" b/c he refuses to sell ice creams in illegal settlements built on stolen land in violation of international law

We will keep adding the rest of the archives to the site, be patient- it is difficult work. Continue to seed the torrents provided, as that is the best way to ensure the footage remains stored in decentalized way.
God bless all those who sacrificed their lives to get this footage out, and everyone invovled in collecting/archiving it.

It’s been 1000 days of Genocide in Gaza. Probably time to speak up now don’t you think?

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that Jews are going to attempt to do everything under the sun to try to take this website down.
You should visit it at least once before that so you know for yourself and see for yourself.
This is real. It happened. And you’re not crazy for calling it wrong.
⚠️ HASSAS İÇERİK
🚨 SON DAKİKA
Gazze’nin doğusunda su toplamaya çalışan çocuklar, işgalci siyonist İsrail’e ait quadcopter saldırısının hedefi oldu.
Bir çocuk hayatını kaybetti, bir çocuk yaralandı.
Gazze’de artık su aramak bile ölümle burun buruna gelmek demek.
Bu bir savaş değil; çocukların, sivillerin ve hayatın en temel hakkı olan suyun hedef alındığı sistematik bir zulümdür.
Gazze susuz bırakılıyor.
Gazze bombalanıyor.
Gazze dünyanın gözü önünde yok edilmek isteniyor.
