Israeli soldiers document their own war crimes online: Why? | ICJP Panel

On Wednesday 9th October 2024, The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP), hosted a documentary screening of Al Jazeera’s documentary film titled Gaza, followed by a panel discussion featuring eyewitnesses of the war crimes. Among the attendees of the panel discussion were Youmna El Sayed, Al Jazeera’s English correspondent in Gaza, Susan Abulhawa, Palestinian writer and human rights activist, and Dr Victoria Rose, NHS plastic surgeon supporting trauma care services in Gaza since 2009. Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit exposed Israeli war crimes in the Gaza Strip through the medium of photos and videos posted online by Israeli soldiers themselves during the year long conflict. The unit has built up a database of thousands of videos, photos and social media posts. Where possible it has identified the posters and those who appear. The film also tells the story of the war through the eyes of Palestinian journalists, human rights workers and ordinary residents of the Gaza Strip. #ICJP #Palestine #Gaza #News #Israel #Lebanon #UK Subscribe to our channel: Subscribe to MEE Telegram channel to stay up to date: Middle East Eye Website: Follow us on TikTok: @middleeasteye Follow us on Instagram: Like us on Facebook: Follow us on Twitter:
