1/ The IDF made a 43 second video of them not shooting aid seekers, then released it as propaganda.
Let's talk about it.
2/ Here is the video:
3/ In the first 30 seconds, IDF officers yell some variation of "don't shoot the civilians" no less than 7 times.
4/ Not shooting aid seekers is either (1) such a novelty that a soldier pulled out his phone to film it, or (2) multiple soldiers were instructed to film them not shooting aid seekers.
5/ You can see the moment the Palestinians realize that nobody will be killed while seeking aid.
They cheer. They are cheering that Israel, for once, didn't massacre any aid seekers.
6/ Apparently this "aid distribution" consisted of parking a truck in the sand and standing back while it gets swarmed?
That is what they made a propaganda video of?

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.)
