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.

1/ Failed at staying off Twitter, but I did build an API for Gaza Maps.
I still need to write documentation, and noticed something in the data that I am waiting to hear back from our cartographer on, but the API endpoint is complete.
2/ Please don't build using this endpoint yet, but if you want to see basically what it will look like here is the link:
Ge request, no authentication needed, returns a json array of objects sorted by date.gazamaps.com/api/v1/displac…
3/ Here is what the result looks like.
Date: SQL format
Link: To the page on our website
map_idf: The image the IDF posted
map_full: Our custom readable version, all of Gaza
map_zoom: our custom readable version, zoomed in
source: URL the IDF posted the map to

1/ Thread for people who need evidence Israel is committing the crime of mass-starvation as a weapon of war.
All posts in this thread are exact quotes from Israeli government or military officials. They told the whole world what the crime they were about to commit.
