This week at #UNAHanau @mimueller/@cdu_hessen said our work on the police response to the 19-Feb-20 racist attack was ‘fully without worth’, & called us ‘charlatans’. Maybe he wasn’t paying attention; here’s a few things the UNA knows because of our work:

forensic-architecture.org/investigation/…
It was @ForensicArchi + @counterinv who proved that the video camera on the police helicopter which was flying over Hanau that night was set to the wrong time. Maybe @mimueller doesn’t think it’s important that #UNAHanau knows precisely what time the events of the night happened.
We also showed that officers watching the perpetrator’s front door weren’t in position by 23h03 & left again at 23h21. Even though the officers said they were there around 22h30-45. Maybe @mimueller doesn’t think it’s important that the house went unsurveilled for so long.
We also showed that as late as midnight, there was no secure perimeter around the house; civilians could still walk past the perpetrator’s car. Maybe @mimueller doesn’t think it’s important that civilians could get so close to the house of a dangerous and violent extremist.
We revealed that the leaders of the police operation never communicated with the helicopter; in the #UNAHanau a heli pilot confirmed this. Maybe @mimueller thinks it’s a good use of resources for a helicopter to fly around without instructions after a terror attack.
Let’s not forget, the #UNAHanau didn’t even have the heli footage before we exhibited it at @FrankfurterKV in 2022. Some of the UNA committee came to the show, but we didn’t see @mimueller there. Maybe he didn’t think it was important.

At least @mimueller’s boss, Minister President @Boris_Rhein, thought our investigation was worth studying, in #Hanau earlier this year. Federal Interior Minister @NancyFaeser too. ImageImage
If you think a deeper understanding of how the Hessen police responded to the 19 Feb 2020 racist terror attack is important, you can see more on our findings, and our full investigation (which we weren’t allowed to show in the UNA), here:

...and look out for more dates for Three Doors, our exhibition with the Initiatives @19FebHanau and @OuryJalloh, coming in 2024, where we’ll respond to the final report of the UNA.

NEW: ‘A Cartography of Genocide’. Since October 2023, we have collected and analysed data related to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. Our findings indicate that Israel has systematically targeted all aspects of civilian life. tinyurl.com/bdcrnzka
We present our findings in a report and an interactive platform, revealing how Israel’s military campaign has fundamentally reshaped Gaza. Much of this reshaping appears to embody in practice the statements of genocidal intent made by Israeli state and army officials and media. We found:
Israel has imposed a new system of spatial control on Gaza, destroying agricultural lands and buildings to create infrastructure that supports a long-term military presence, including roads, checkpoints and a 1 km-wide buffer zone.

A year ago today, doctors stood among the bodies of victims of the Al-Ahli blast, warning that if Israeli impunity continued, more attacks on Gaza’s hospitals would follow. Among them was surgeon Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a firsthand witness to the blast, whose testimony was overlooked. We’ve recorded it here: forensic-architecture.org/investigation/…
Dr Abu-Sittah's expert testimony on the nature of the injuries he treated that night offers clues about the type of weapon used in the attack. His analysis of the wounds suggested that a ‘fragmentation bomb’ rather than a simple explosive was likely the cause of the blast.
Israel accused Palestinian fighters, but we + others showed that the rocket Israel blamed for the blast was in fact shot down by their interceptors well outside Gaza. Our findings prove Israel deliberately misled the public: forensic-architecture.org/investigation/…

NEW INVESTIGATION: Between 24 and 28 August 2023, a fire caused by a leaking petrochemical tank at the Marathon Petroleum refinery in Garyville, Louisiana waxed, waned, and reignited, producing a thick plume of toxic smoke that spread for miles over neighbouring communities. Authorities claimed that the incident was contained to the site. Suspecting a cover-up, residents asked us to investigate: forensic-architecture.org/investigation/…
Marathon’s facility in Garyville is one of the largest refineries in the western hemisphere. Residents of ‘fenceline’ communities, which directly border this and other facilities across Louisiana’s ‘Cancer Alley’, are forced to breathe some of the most toxic air in the US. FA previously worked with @risestjames and @project_descend to investigate the construction of industrial facilities atop unmarked Black cemeteries: forensic-architecture.org/investigation/…
With @guardian, we interviewed residents of the fenceline communities that border the Marathon site. Despite officials’ assurance that the naphtha leak and resulting fire were ‘contained’, local residents reported a strong chemical smell resembling ‘burning oil’ or ‘burning plastic’ over the course of the incident.Image

Our joint investigation w/ @earshot_ngo and @AJFaultLines into the killing of 6-year-old Hind Rajab, her 4 cousins, her aunt and uncle, and 2 paramedics on 29 Jan 2024 challenges the Israeli Army’s claim that troops weren't in the area that day.
forensic-architecture.org/investigation/…
Hind and 6 family members, fleeing invading Israeli forces, left in the early hours of 29 Jan from a home in the Tel al-Hawa neighbourhood of Gaza City, driving north.
Hind’s mother, Wissam Hamada, witnessed shots being fired at the car from an intersection to the north of the home. Many Israeli military vehicles—in a shape and size consistent with Israeli Merkava tanks—are visible in satellite images of the intersection from that day.

Israel claims that the poorly worded 24 May ICJ ruling gives it license to continue attacking Palestinians in Gaza, if it warns civilians to evacuate combat zones and move to safe 'humanitarian zones'. But we have geolocated three strikes within areas Israel suggested were safe. Image
On 6 May, Israel told civilians in Rafah to evacuate to an 'expanded humanitarian area'. But Israel had contracted the safe area in the south, where it had previously told civilians to move. On 26 May, Israel killed 45 people sheltering in tents there.
Image
This continues a pattern of confusing, misleading, imprecise instructions from Israel. Families under fire receive contradictory messages about where to go for safety. Such ‘Cartographic Terror’ was detailed in our 7 March report ‘Humanitarian Violence’. content.forensic-architecture.org/wp-content/upl…

Responding to the 17 May @CIJ_ICJ hearing, we assessed Israel’s actions re: provision of aid, shelter & safe passage to civilians. Findings suggest Israel is not only neglecting its humanitarian duties, but actively destroying conditions of life in Gaza. bit.ly/inhumane-zones
In anticipation of today’s order from the @CIJ_ICJ, we are sharing our analysis on Israeli military actions since 6 May 2024—when the long-threatened invasion of Rafah began—in view of patterns of Israeli military conduct since 7 Oct 2023. Summary of findings follow:
1. By 6 May, the ‘humanitarian zone’ in al-Mawasi was unequipped to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of existing evacuees, let alone the further 1.5m Palestinians directed to evacuate to there from Rafah following the invasion. Image
