“Israel aims to cancel and erase Palestinian life!” UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, and director of Forensic Architecture, Eyal Weizman, expose the mechanics of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Speaking to Palestinian journalist from Gaza, Ahmed Alnaouq, Francesca references her new UN report titled “Genocide as Colonial Erasure”, which documents how Israel is wielding its genocide as part of a broader, systematic and intentional state-organised forced displacement and replacement of the Palestinians.

A new 800 page report published by Forensic Architecture titled “A Spatial Analysis of the Israeli Military’s Conduct in Gaza since October 2023”, uses innovative digital technology to illustrate Israel’s wholesale destruction of the Gaza Strip which has left “no safe place” for Palestinians under siege and bombardment, according director Eyal Weizman.

A ground breaking new Al Jazeera documentary exposes the horrific war crimes and sadistic activities carried out by Israeli soldiers during its ongoing genocide in Gaza over the last year and reveals the identities of the perpetrators.

But director Richard Sanders says finding information about the soldiers was not difficult because “they identified themselves” - many of the the soldiers had actually uploaded the footage to their personal social media pages and sometimes even to their online dating profiles.

Richard Sanders is a British journalist and award-winning filmmaker who also directed Al Jazeera's The Labour Files and October 7 documentaries.

Palestinian-American legal scholar and attorney Dr Noura Erakat grants this is indeed a horrifying moment of despair for Palestinians everywhere but says giving up is not an option:

“Yes nothing has worked to stop this genocide and to liberate Palestinians, but does the opposite of that mean that we give up? Or does the opposite of that mean that we act with greater strategic acumen and foresight and try to think to ourselves, how do we do this differently? How do we do this better?”

Noura argues that the legitimacy of institutions such as the ICJ rest upon their responses to Israel’s genocide on Gaza,

“we already know this is a genocide, so it’s a way in which Palestine has inverted the lens. It doesn't matter what you say about Palestine at this point, it matters what Palestine says about your legitimacy and your institution.”

Palestinian digital rights defender, Mona Shtaya, exposes Israel’s weaponisation of artificial intelligence through its surveillance and automated target systems technology used to massacre Palestinians en masse in its genocide on Gaza.

“So we’re not speaking about Hamas fighters, we’re speaking about normal civilians who were just sitting in their homes and they were targeted for the sake of being Palestinians.”

In a recent article for Mondoweiss, Shtaya argues that Israel’s participation in the first global AI treaty raises serious questions given how Israel has for months, “used advanced AI systems like ‘Lavender’ and ‘Habsora’ to target and kill civilians in Gaza, all while celebrating its role in drafting a treaty that claims to ensure responsible AI governance."

British-Palestinian journalist Hamza Yusuf investigates whether the UK might be complicit in Israel’s widespread and systematic torture of Palestinian detainees and hostages.

In a recent article for Declassified UK, Hamza Yusuf exposes campaigners’ fears that the flight paths of Royal Air Force (RAF) surveillance flights which continue almost daily over Gaza might be informed by intelligence Israel obtained through torture.

Declassified reports that Charlotte Andrews-Briscoe, a lawyer at the Global Legal Action Network, believes it, “possible, if not probable, that information and assurances Israel gives to the UK are founded on information derived from torture”.

International human rights lawyer and former senior UN official Craig Mokhiber exposes the Western media's role in the "machine of genocide" on Gaza and how it can be held legally accountable for its propaganda and bias reporting.

Citing the Nuremberg Tribunal and the Rwanda Genocide, Mokhiber exposes historical legal precedents where media companies and figures have been held accountable for their role in facilitating war crimes and violations of international law.

Palestinian medical doctor Dr Mohammed Ashraf provides a harrowing account to Palestinian journalist Ahmed Alnaouq about his experience treating Gaza’s sick and wounded under Israeli genocide.

Over several months, 28-year-old Dr Ashraf who is from Gaza, treated hundreds of patients in the al-Shifa and al-Kuwaiti Hospitals, including undertaking a lower-leg amputation on a patient with no anaesthetic, as none was available due to Israel’s tightening of the blockade amid its ongoing genocide. PDD host, Ahmed Alnaouq, is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza and co-founder of We Are Not Numbers.

On October 22, Israel bombed Ahmed’s family home killing most of his close family. Dr Ashraf recounts a heartbreaking story of receiving a young Palestinian girl whose family had been killed in an Israeli missile strike.

Waking up in hospital, alone and her face covered in shrapnel, she asks, “Doctor, am I in heaven?” She tells Dr Ashraf that her mother had promised she would wake up in a calm, peaceful environment, “going to heaven directly” if Israel did indeed attack their family home. She died in hospital shortly after her question to Dr Ashraf.

In an exclusive interview with Palestine Deep Dive, Nobel Prize-nominated Palestinian photojournalist Motaz Azaiza speaks to Ahmed Alnaouq about his 108 days of exposing Israel’s genocide on Gaza to billions around world.

“I spent more than 23 days sleeping on the street outside the hospital. I was really worried to go to my house because you don't want to endanger your family… It was very cold and you sleep with the smell of bodies and you wake up to the screams of the mothers…it’s the smell of death. I know the smell of death,” Azaiza tells Ahmed.

Israel has killed more than 160 Palestinian journalists in Gaza since October. Azaiza’s footage and photography has reached billions around the world, with his Instagram account attracting more than 18 million followers eager to bypass mainstream media bias and see the reality of life on the ground in Gaza.

But Azaiza tells Ahmed he has lost hope in the power of images to affect change, yet continued his work in Gaza because it was “his passion and his duty.”
