the West cannot hide

they cannot claim

ignorance nobody can say they didn't

[Music]

know we live in an era of technology and

this has been described as the first

live stream genocide in history and I

believe that to be

true they are conducting a genocide now

with Glee they're setting their ities to

music and putting them on catchy res on

Tik

[Music]

Tok ordinary Israelis see what their

military is doing and celebrate

[Applause]

it it's not just French elements who see

this and think it's a good

thing when a nation protects its home it

fights and we will fight until we'll

break their

backbone it's not true this retoric

about civilians not aware not involved

it's absolutely not

true it's an entire nation out there

that is responsible

GAA becomes a strip in 1948 with the

creation of the state of

Israel 3/4 of a million people are

driven from their homes in what

Palestinians call the nakba or

catastrophe close to a third of refugees

end up in Gaza in

1967 Gaza and the West Bank are occupied

by the

[Music]

Israelis after the Israelis withdraw

settlements from Gaza in 2005 Hamas wins

elections throughout the occupied

territories it Advocates resistance to

Israeli

occupation and is prescribed as a

terrorist organization in the west when

it takes control of Gaza in 2007 Israel

imposes a

blockade in the years that follow it

carries out a number of attacks on Gaza

citing security requirements

thousands of Palestinians are

[Music]

killed 1200 Hamas Fighters storm through

the fence separating the Gaza Strip from

Israel the main goal was to bring the

Palestinian cause on the table and to

oblig all the politicians in the region

and outside the region that no one can

bypass the Palestinian no one can

overcome the Palestinian cause and

without solving this no one can enjoy

security or

stability more than 1,000 Israelis are

killed

[Music]

[Music]

more than 250 hostages are

taken the impact of October 7 is immense

it's a society in complete trauma we

could never in our worst nightmare think

that October 7 would happen

the aura of Israeli

invincibility disappeared on the 7th of

October last

year Israel has survived because

neighbors have always believed that

Israel was omnipotent a country that

cannot be defeated

militarily and then over a couple of

hours all of this fell apart immediately

became clear to most Israelis they're

not secure and the enemies around it are

not

deterred Mrs War Israel is desperately

now trying to restore the Strategic

posture of deterrence to make themselves

feel

safe and I think from the beginning it

was obviously that in order to restore

deterence it will response

disproportionately but we can't escape

that there was a St G element of

avenging and

revenging this investigation assembles

evidence of war crimes committed during

the year-long Israeli assault on the

Gaza Strip and of complicity in those

crimes

the evidence includes the voices of

those who ordered the

assault those who supported

it those who enabled it the United

States stands with Israel we will not

ever fail to have their

back those who enjoed it attacked

by the

hospital and above all those who

inflicted

[Music]

it alzer is in investigative unit has

compiled a database of over 2 and a half

th000 social media accounts containing

photos and videos placed online by

Israeli

[Music]

soldiers it is a treasure Trove which

you very seldom come across so to have

that is something which I think

prosecutors will be licking their lips

at

[Music]

do you know anything about that what can

you report at this

[Applause]

stage all right yumna please take cover

we knew that this or the retaliation is

going to

be so much bigger than

for this is a mile attack on on

Palestine

Tower right in the middle of gaza's

City Y take a moment to breathe but we

didn't expect it take a moment to

breathe in no means to be what it has

turned out to be the fact that there are

Israeli

captives in the

strip wouldn't that be

be a red line for Israel that it would

be afraid for its

captives even if Israel wanted to cross

these red lines we thought for sure that

the world would

stand and say no

you wake up every morning thinking that

this would be actually your last

day you know you might be

next there have been journalists and

human rights workers who have been

directly killed during the previous

attacks but this war it was more like

systematic attacks systematic targeting

of civilians of um Jal ists of Human

Rights

[Music]

workers so it's been a struggle since

the beginning of this war realizing that

what you're doing is actually not only

risking your own life but your but the

life of your family the lives of those

taking shelter with you uh everyone who

uh you could be around

can

[Music]

[Music]

so many times when I went after a

bombing that just

happened I literally felt like I was

standing over a mass

grave but not just a grave of people who

are dead but people who are alive and

they're stuck

there you may be strong enough on your

own to defend yourself but as long as

America exists you will never ever have

to we will will always be there by your

side Israel orders the 1.1 million

residents of Northern Gaza to evacuate

to the south of the Gaza River Valley

many are unable or

unwilling Less Than 3 weeks after

October 7th 16% of the buildings in

Northern Gaza have been damaged or

destroyed the official death toll stands

as 7,028

[Music]

an Israeli magazine later reveals

artificial intelligence is being used to

identify

targets the Israeli Army has marked tens

of thousands of garans as suspects for

assassination 972 interviewed acting

members of the military the reason that

AI was being used used basically

according to those Israeli

sources is that they wanted a tempo of

attacks that was faster than could be

humanly

sustained how does the AI decide who is

killable it will look at everything that

can be scraped about you from

surveillance from spying from your

social media profile from who your phone

is near when it's when you're walking

around who you're meeting and they'll

give you a number and if your number out

of a 100 is above a certain threshold

then you can be attacked and

[Music]

killed where are you attacked and killed

well there's another AI called where's

Daddy and according to this reporting in

972 again based on what Israeli military

officials told these journalists it's

easier to kill somebody when they're

home than it is when they're out in the

street so this AI will monitor the

location of your cell phone your

smartphone and when it arrives at the

location that's been determined to be

your residence then there will be a ping

to the guy who can Target your house and

bring it

[Music]

down I guess whoever came up with this

name where's Daddy thought that many of

them would be fathers and that's why

it's called where's Daddy when they when

they reach their homes Daddy's home and

then the entire house and everybody in

it could be blown

hello I'm Nick Clark this is the news

live from Doha our colleague from Al

jaer Arabic is just learned that his

wife and other members of his family

have been killed in an air strike the

entire team here in Doha is offering our

sincere

condolences the family of wael dhu

alzer's Gaza bureau chief is killed in a

strike on the narat refugee camp in

central Gaza supposedly part of the safe

Zone south of the Gaza River

[Music]

Valley the family had evacuated from the

north of the

[Music]

strip the

attack resulted in the killing of W's

wife his daughter

sham his son Mahmud his grandson Adam

and the injury of other family members

for him to be targeted for his family to

be targeted it's very devastating for us

as

[Music]

journalists for us it felt like that red

line being

crossed at the end of October yumna

elad's own family is still in Gaza City

in the north of the

strip it was less than a week after

the killing of W's family a call comes

from a private number on my husband's

mobile

phone the officer identifies himself as

the IDF officer and he was like we know

who you are take your family and leave

your home otherwise your lives are in

danger so my husband was like so if you

know who I am then you know that the

bombardments around my home are nonstop

how do you expect me to take my kids and

leave my home in such a time and risk

their lives and he was like this is your

problem you need to figure it

out and I can't get over my 12-year-old

elen when this happened

happened she screamed at me she was like

they're going to kill us because of you

they're going to kill us because of

[Music]

you the destruction in Gaza Sparks a

tick tock craze in

Israel civilians dress up as caricatures

of Palestinians and mime to an Israeli

song called this was my home

[Music]

an influencer suggests Palestinians are

faking their

injuries another influencer tauns

Palestinians for the loss of water and

electricity

[Music]

these videos are shared many thousands

of

[Music]

times after 3 weeks of bombardment

Israeli ground troops enter Northern

Gaza

everyone in the building was

screaming

everyone it was like the kids are

screaming we're hugging each other we're

under the kitchen

bar we're

terrified and

then they decided to speak to us in

their mics and they said that we have 5

minutes to leave the building

so we grabbed our children and we got

into our

cars and we

left there's a lot of gunfire ongoing

now exchange of

gunfire

bullets

so we've just started heading

out just nothing safe at all nothing at

all feels safe

[Music]

thousands of other families are trying

to flee Gaza City at the same

time moving to the South you had to do

it on foot

no cars were allowed to drive in in that

area 23-year-old freelance journalist

Muhammad alhu has already narrowly

escaped death a number of times he too

is fleeing

[Music]

South

[Music]

for we were asked to walk holding a

white flag in one hand raising the ID on

the other hand everyone including the

children they would stop people while

they're walking then they say this

person wearing this color shirt get out

of the

line and then they would make them strip

completely to their underwear in front

of

[Music]

everyone on the final stretch out of

Gaza City thousands wait to enter what

the Israelis call a humanitarian

[Music]

Corridor supposedly a safe route to the

South

[Music]

those who were killed everything was

left on the ground for the people who

were crossing to

see I made my children promise me that

they would not look at the ground at all

not once I just instructed them to look

straight do not look at the ground do

not look

[Music]

down as Palestinians flee Israeli

soldiers enter the homes they have left

behind I will'll burn their City to the

ground yeah every rat hole that they

hide in and I will drop down enough

explosives to scare

God soldiers post thousands of photos

and videos on social

media the ey unit has identified many of

them

[Applause]

these videos don't show a professional

army they show an army but at times

appears to almost completely lack any

any self discipline to a point where one

thinks it's not just personal lack of

discipline it's an Institutional lack of

[Music]

discipline under international law

you're not allowed to destroy ordinary

civilian property um there doesn't

appear to be any military

[Music]

objectives it's something of a scorched

Earth policy where everything is

destroyed and it makes it very difficult

to

reconstruct civilian life

thereafter soldiers Loot and

[Music]

pillage the international criminal court

has jurisdiction to look at precisely uh

these allegations where civilian

property has been targeted and where

civilian property is being looted I see

there are some identities given here so

depending on on that evidence charges

could be

brought many Israeli soldiers are duel

Nationals so I'm going through these

terrorist houses looking for guns and

explosiv like we find money at every

single house inside of Gaza this is what

I say every single

unbelievable two or three jws stuffed

with the most

uh exotic laundre that you can imagine

just P out of it part every single house

stuffed to the brim look at that

unbelievable he naughty naughty

gin there seems to be this strange

obsession amongst many Israeli soldiers

for women's

underwear I'm not sure if it's intended

to titillate or humiliate

[Music]

sharing these kind of images per se is

not a crime but it could be used as

relevant evidence to show the mindset of

the soldiers

concerned and the discipline or lack

thereof of those

[Music]

soldiers and it's strange these videos

seem apparently to be quite popular

inside Israel this is a bit you know

they're being used on dating

[Music]

sites lots of people say Israeli forces

shouldn't be allowed to take cameras and

phones into combat I'm glad that they

are allowed to because it allows the

world to witness what's

[Music]

happening the things that are really

shocking to me just a repeated posting

of videos of detain

humiliation naked Palestinian detainees

with headbands and zip ties on their

arms being paraded around

insulted mistreated in many

cases these are really blatant

violations of international law and yet

they keep being posted by the

perpetrators it's really

astonishing some of these videos

horrified me this fo AG breaks every

Norm of the treatment of detainees or

the treatment of prison War it breaks

every accepted standard practice and

Norm

[Music]

[Laughter]

many Palestinian detainees say they are

abused for

[Music]

a French Israeli soldier says a Dain has

been tortured

torture is one of the most serious

International crimes very often though

it's difficult to get evidence this kind

of material where you have persons on

camera

admitting that they have participated in

torture would be very useful to any

investigator or a prosecutor

female detainees are also abused

the soldiers remove hadil D's

headscarf she's the only woman in a

truck full of

men a star of David is carved into a

detainee

bag persons are being blindfolded hooded

beaten

humiliated the law

prohibits persons from being treated in

a manner that doesn't comply with normal

human standards so they have to be

treated

humanely and what we're seeing here is

the exact antithesis of that

the destruction of buildings is

regularly featured often set to music

[Music]

you see huge blocks getting blown up

universities getting blown

[Music]

up it's just extraordinary this is

willful destruction

the fact that they've been able to to

rig these buildings up with explosives

shows very clearly that there's no

current threat for most

buildings there's no justification for

destroying a structure if the enemy

isn't in

[Music]

it I asked an IDF officer in late

2023 why they were blowing up and

destroying buildings especially civilian

infrastructure across Gaza that clearly

has no military value and has no link to

active fighting and he said basically

that it's an act of punishment by

destroying every sort of infrastructure

any link any reference to Hamas anything

that Hamas has touched will be

destroyed

H by the 28th of December 69% of the

buildings in Northern Gaza have been

damaged or destroyed and 27% in southern

Gaza at least

2,110 have been

killed on that day Israeli troops

occupied kirik Kazar a town of 13,000

people which lies just across the fence

from the Israeli kibot near Ros which

was attacked on October 7th

[Music]

[Applause]

at the end of the operation in K Kazar

soldiers post before an after

shots what we're seeing here is the

complete decimation of a

village the soldiers give

very detailed reasons why they impared

upon this none of them are for military

purposes

[Applause]

the justification that is given is one

of Revenge and under International

humanitarian law it is strictly

prohibited to use

reprisals against the civilian

population of your

enemy The Revenge rhetoric that we've

heard from some Israeli soldiers it's

disturbing the large scale unnecessary

destruction of Civilian property it's

prohibited in the Geneva conventions

it's prohibited under the Rome statute

of the international criminal

court you can't go around wanly

unnecessarily destroying civilian

property it's banned and if you do

enough of it it's a war

crime the unit that destroys kbit Kazar

is Israel's 8219 combat Engineering

Battalion which has already destroyed

hundreds of buildings in Gaza

[Music]

City its Commander is Lieutenant Colonel

mayor Dev deani the international

criminal court will look for those who

are higher up the chain of command and

evidence coming directly from commanders

about the orders that they gave and the

way in which they command and control or

their troops would be vital evidence div

deani addresses the unit at the end of

the

operation his comments are recorded in a

war diary posted on Facebook by one of

his

troops he said we have stopped counting

the number of buildings the Battalion

blew up there is no precedent for this

in the whole history of the Israeli Army

we have become addicted to explosions

by the end of January close to 90% of

the population of the Gaza Strip has

been displaced at least once from their

homes there is this kind of dark matter

of

pain people live in a kind of heightened

a fight or flight mode that just that

never

subsides they are always on alert

there's always this sort of Baseline

I'm proud to stand here with you in

Israel's Darkest Hour as your friend we

will stand with you in solidarity we

will stand with your people and we also

want you to win thank

you at on Cyprus the UK maintains a

large Air Force Base less than 400 km

from

Gaza a British investigative journalist

looks at the RO RAF Acer is

playing so in December the UK government

announced that they were going to start

doing surveillance flights over Gaza for

hostage rescue they said but they didn't

say where they were going to go from

they didn't say how many they were going

to be or what they were going to collect

or or how long they were in the air for

so I started looking at flight tracker

websites on the 3rd of December this B

goes here you can see so it flies from

RF at crer on Cyprus and then over the

sea turns off its transponder so you

can't see where it's going and there

were dozens of them straight away and

these are 6-hour flights they're in the

air for 6

hours the planes are R1 Shadow planes

their capabilities include Target

acquisition for military strikes and the

information the British were getting

they were sharing with the isra now they

said it was all to do as hostage rescue

but even at that point there was only

two British hostages in Gaza so it also

doesn't explain there was up to a, hours

of footage by March that they would have

collected over Gaza Matt kar's reporting

prompts demonstrations in Cyprus get out

of Cyprus get out with Israel under

investigation by the international court

of justice for genocide the assistance

given by the UK and other Western Powers

has legal implications

if you start acting in a conflict to a

level that the people on the ground who

are doing the fighting are using your

information actively as they fight you

can't just say the Israelis are doing

things and we we want them to behave

differently if they're killing too many

civilians but we're not really involved

actually you may be a party to the

conflict

yourself if you continue to know and

continue to supply weapons and targeting

information if you're supplying

targeting information despite knowing

what the result is and the result is a

gross human rights violation then you

also get to complicity so you know the

deniability that you're deeply involved

in what's going on in Gaza begins to

evaporate Western politicians blame

Hamas for the high death

toll they use Palestinian civilian as

human

Shields Moss offers nothing but Terror

and bloodshed with no

regard to who pays the price they

unleash Terror then hide among them

women and children used as human

Shields this claim goes entirely

unchallenged in the

west but there is no evidence to support

it the claim is basically that armed

groups are operating in popul areas in

Gaza and that is basically what is meant

in many cases when somebody says Hamas

is using human

Shields if your territory is as small as

the Gaza Strip it's near impossible to

locate your military bases far away from

civilian infrastructure and civilian

areas we don't have evidence that

Palestinian armed groups are you know

hiding right next to civilians and not

allowing the civilians to leave right an

element of human shielding is that you

either don't tell them that you're right

there or they know you're there but you

don't allow them to leave if you're the

guy with the

gun we conducted several interviews

dozens of interviews with civilians and

with people Palestinians in areas that

were designated as combat

zones but we have not documented at

least one case of Palestinian armed

members using civilians as human Shields

[Applause]

I have never not once seen any Hamas

operatives in any of the hospitals that

I have reported from not a shifa

hospital not the European Hospital not

Naser Hospital not Al Hospital there are

dozens of journalists reporting from

these hospitals and not one journalist

is ready to put their lives in danger in

being in a place where they they can see

Hamas members or

operatives there has to be a purpose in

using a civilian as a human shield the

party that uses civilians as human

Shields need to understand that the

other party would be concerned for the

safety of this civilian but in the case

of Gaza civilians here have been one of

the main targets of the Israeli Army

since the beginning of the attack so

there wouldn't be a purpose in using a

civilian as a human shield because the

civilian himself is a

target Israel has regularly been

condemned for using human Shields by the

UN and numerous International and

Israeli human rights

organizations there used to be something

that was known as the neighbor procedure

it was called This by by uh by by the

military where you would go into a house

you'd get somebody from the house and

you'd get them to walk in front of you

and take them to the next door

neighbor's house and then knock on the

door and open it up and the idea would

be that you're behind them with the gun

so if there's a guy inside the house

with a gun they're not going to shoot at

their own neighbor and then you can kill

them I want to ask you are these men

being detained yes you can't you can't

use them as human Shields this is a a

war crime you you know that right not

human they're standing in front of your

Jeep that's not a human

in this case two civilians are fitted

ambushes

[Music]

footage from the occupied West Bank

supports this

[Music]

account this photograph is taken by an

Israeli soldier in Gaza

City the eye unit has spoken to six

individuals who say they were used as

human Shields

since the beginning of this round

Invasion we have documented dozens of

cases where civilians were actually used

uh as human Shields by the Israeli Army

forcing them to enter combat zones or

enter places or enter buildings that

they think are for example uh booby

trapped or uh where they think that

there might be armed members of

Palestinian factions inside uh one area

or another and this is being used

on a daily

basis where you see it cropping up on a

continuous widespread

basis then investigators and prosecutors

will look high up to see if that is

being countenanced if it's either coming

down as a

direct direction from those above or

they're turning a blind eye and in both

of those cases it can incur command

responsibility for those in the chain of

debriefs and every day uh malnutrition

malnutrition Mal

nutrition the April 1st missile strike

is not the only attack on an aid

[Music]

Convoy it was not an isolated

incident we Human Rights Watch uh

documented another seven cases where

very specifically humanitarian and Aid

workers were attacked after having given

the Israeli military their precise

coordinates and detailed information

about their activities and their

movements in some cases it looks like

the precise coordinates that Aid groups

gave to the Israeli military to

deconflict and keep themselves safe were

then hit precisely by Israeli attacks

[Music]

so our assessment is very clearly that

the Israeli authorities are using

starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza

it's a double War crime you have

Collective punishment of the civilian

population and you specifically have the

use of starvation as a weapon of

[Music]

War by June 27th 72% of buildings in

Northern Gaza have been damaged or

destroyed and 51% in southern Gaza the

death toll stands at 37,76131

[Music]

[Music]

this video documents the activities of

the 202nd paratroopers

[Music]

Battalion I'm just going to hold this

here I'm going to play this back again

this is extraordinary fact that he's put

this onto video he's released this on

YouTube to me is is kind of quite

extraordinary but degree of

impunity the video shows two other

instances where unarmed men are shot by

[Music]

snipers now of course I don't know the

context of what happened before I don't

know what happened 2 minutes before that

they may have been involved in

contacting and shooting at Israel forces

they may have been legitimate targets

but it sure doesn't look like it to

[Laughter]

me just because a civilian is walking in

an area where combat is going on does

not make them fair game if they get

involved in hostilities at a particular

moment yes they lose their civilian

status they can be targeted but then you

have to show on the evidence that they

are presenting a threat to you it's

potentially a matter that the

international criminal court would want

to look

at large numbers of Palestinians have

been killed by snipers including women

and

[Music]

children on July 25th 45 American

Physicians surgeons and nurses who have

volunteered in in Gaza since October 7th

right to President Biden they state

every one of us on a daily basis treated

pre-teen children who were shot in the

head and

[Music]

chest since October 7th the cassam

brigades the military wing of Hamas have

released over 300 combat videos

the IDF is fighting ghosts they're

fighting against targets that appear and

disappear quite quickly and the tunnel

system in itself has made this an urban

combat scenario which is very unique in

human military history there's never

been a scenario such as this where you

have two layers of a battlefield we

usually talk about controlling the

ground we never had to really talk about

controlling the underground

[Music]

when it comes to Tunnel you are talking

about around 500 to 600 kilm under the

ground in different

depths 20 m 30 m 40

m with the tels we were able to move

underground to plan and to attack the

enemy and he has lost the ability to

control the field

[Music]

the idea that Hamas is near elimination

is nonsensical Hamas are still out there

they've not yet been decisively defeated

they are nowhere near decisively

defeated in my view deterrence has not

been

restored the beginning of the war it was

about destroying Hamas bringing the

hostages

home like right now the hostages are

still you know 120 hostages are end

Hamas is still fighting

so the problem was from the beginning

setting an objective that is not

achievable the official Israel death

toll from the fighting in Gaza is 346

in August Israel's defense ministri said

more than 10,000 soldiers have

registered as wounded 35% of them

suffering mental trauma the official

Palestinian death toll stands at more

than

41,000 almost 100,000 have been

[Music]

injured the Palestinian death toll does

not include thousands still buried under

the rubble and those who have died from

hunger and lack of access access to

medication and

Healthcare it's possible the final toll

for dead and injured in the Gaza Strip

will be more than 10% of the total

population

[Music]

the Americans and Germans continue to

provide Weaponry the new labor

government in the UK continues to

operate surveillance

[Music]

flights and Israeli soldiers continue to

pose for photos

Palestinians are aware that they have

been

abandoned that the world that speaks of

Human Rights and international law was

lying that those concepts are meant

for uh for white people or for Western

ERS that accountability is not meant to

hold their oppressors to account that

they have been

um really kind of discarded like rubbish

[Music]

[Music]

fore

[Music]

for spe foreign

spee

foree spee

z

z international law has been Trashed by

the actions of the Israeli military by

the actions of the parties to this

conflict but also by the actions of

their allies which look at what's going

on and continue to pour gasoline on the

flames

[Music]

the West has spent decades creating this

rules-based

order and it's finally laid been laid

bare as a big sham as a big as just a

way to further Western

interests this is the

jungle is this the New Order where it's

just out in the open

that those with power can do whatever

they want
