1/ We have archived over 7,000 videos of the Israeli genocide.
Out of the 7,000 videos, we have categorized and published 4,757 videos (almost 70%).
2/ We categorize each video using several different taxonomies. You may view videos by location:
3/ You may filter videos by the type of target that Israel is attacking:
4/ You may filter videos by the type of weapon the IDF used to attack the target:
5/ You may filter videos by the military unit in the video:
6/ There are more filters, all accessible via the menu.
7/ Many videos are grouped into an "event."
If you see an event linked next to a video, clicking the event title will filter videos specific to that event.
8/ Most videos have detailed archivist notes.
We try to find out every name from every massacre, and include the martyrs in our archivist notes.
Every life is an entire world and every martyr deserves to be remembered.
8/ Many hundreds of these videos are geolocated, almost all have exact dates.
We plan on creating an interactive map/timeline to let users explore the geolocated videos spatially and chronologically.
Geolocation is not publicly available yet.
9/ We also plan to build a rather sophisticated search engine, to assist researchers using our database. We already have this for our researchers.
This particular search, of the IDF massacring kids playing football, could be useful for researchers, or the FIFA campaign.
10/ Unfortunately, we must spend all of our free time begging @pressfreedom to stop being racist against Palestinian journalists instead of building more tools for researchers.
11/ We suspect that if our focus were on Iran or Russia, instead of Israel, Press Freedom would be using silly terms like "innovative collaborative, curatorial journalism" to describe our project.
Instead they ignore us.
12/ We know that CPJ has zero respect for our work, but we beg them to look beyond their disgust at people like us -- who think accountability must apply to everyone -- and visit this collection of archived videos:
13/ We will post another update once we have archived 8,000 videos of the genocide.
Perhaps by then @CPJMENA will call it murder when Israel (using their signature "where's daddy" method of warfare) kills journalists in their homes with precision airstrikes.

It is likely the most highly-source quote website on the entire internet. We try to attach videos and primary sources.Zionism.Observer
There are other important Israeli quote websites, such as the @Law4Palestine database of genocidal intent (the elegant front end was created by @visualizingpal).
1/ We are done talking about @Namecheap. They released the domain they stole from us. They did not refund anything or even apologize.
This has been horrific, and we will take many steps to lessen the impact of such deplatforms in the future, based on lessons learned.
2/ I will write an article about Namecheap's censorship.
I don't normally write, as it is a distraction from software development, archival, and managing a team of people. But this seems like a moment that needs clarifying.
A lot happened in the past few days.
3/ We will be releasing a desktop app before the end of this year.
We chose web apps to avoid censorship (compared to a mobile app) but web apps can be shut down too.
I believe @Namecheap paid a reputational and financial price, but they still took down our app, for days.
3/ We were told we were being deplatformed not for our archival work, but because we weren't the right type of content creator, or perhaps fraud concerns?
Note the stated reasons for the deplatform. (From their original email.)
