Short thread on an academic paper I just learned about, authored by a Canadian student, Omar Al-Samadi.

1/ The title of the paper is: Killing the Archive Twice: Epistemicide, Platform Censorship, and Archival Resistance from Gaza to the World Image
2/ The paper begins with a beautiful dedication. Image
3/ The section "Archival Solidarity as Decolonial Praxis" includes a non-trivial section on @databases4pal. Image
4/ The section on our project is short (as is the paper) but it might be the single best summary of the project I have ever read. Image
5/ I recommend reading the entire paper.

Here is the direct link. researchgate.net/publication/39…Image

1/ Don't let tech oligarchs delete the evidence. Don't let them rewrite the history of the genocide.

We build memory at Databases for Palestine. Without memory, there can not be justice.

We need your help. Image
2/ Direct link to donate. Also more information below.

3/ We can't keep doing backups on a few thousand dollars in hard drives in developers' homes.

We keep outgrowing every backup system we set up.

Video streaming services that can't just rely on cloud companies are not easy to back up. We need help.

Website launch: Zionist Hoaxes

1/ We created a place to archive fake "antisemitic incidents."

With the global rise in antisemitic hoaxes, often used to justify silencing anti-genocide activists, we thought it important to archive the hoaxes. Image
2/ At launch there are 59 unique fake "antisemitic incidents." Image
3/ Currently all fake "antisemitic incidents" are sorted by date, with the most recent up top.

We plan to add filters by country, and characteristics such as if world leaders condemned the fake incident.

We will also add an API, later this week. Image

Thought I'd spend 5 minutes and analyze the website terroralarm dot org.

1/ The website is on shared hosting, with 73 other domains. The data center is in The Netherlands. Image
2/ Specifically the data center is in Dronten, Flevoland, The Netherlands.

Note the hosting company is listed as "Serverius Holding BV." That seems to be Kolo now. Image
Image
3/ Kolo has a data center in Dronten, Flevoland, The Netherlands. With the same IP address.

The website is apparently hosted in Kolo's NL1 data center. Image

We are no longer able to add the hundreds of quotes in January.

We are forced to harden our infrastructure instead, to prevent tech company censorship.

We still plan on releasing the database of incitement targeting journalists in February.

Apologies.
You may view our quotes database at .

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).

Direct link to their quote archive:
