Bearing Witness to the Israel-Gaza War
Last updated:1 November 29, 2024
I, Lee Mordechai, a historian by profession and an Israeli citizen, bear witness in this document to the situation in Gaza as events are unfolding. The enormous amount of evidence I have seen, much of it referenced later in this document, has been enough for me to believe that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian population in Gaza. I explain why I chose to use the term below. Israel’s campaign is ostensibly its reaction to the Hamas massacre of Oct. 7, 2023, in which war crimes and crimes against humanity were committed within the context of the longstanding conflict between Israelis and Palestinians that can be dated back to 1917 or 1948 (or other dates). In all cases, historical grievances and atrocities do not justify additional atrocities in the present. Therefore, I consider Israel’s response to Hamas’ actions on Oct. 7 utterly disproportionate and criminal.

Cases in which the IDF kills civilians almost never make the news in Israel and the United States. An exception happened in early April, when the IDF killed 7 workers of the international NGO World Central Kitchen (all foreign citizens) within their clearly marked vehicles operating in full coordination with the IDF. A source from the IDF stated that a drone attacked the convoy of three vehicles because a Hamas person was thought to be in it (later investigation stated this was uncertain and the person simply appeared armed). After the first vehicle was bombed, some NGO workers left their vehicle and evacuated to a second vehicle, immediately notifying the IDF. Despite this, the second vehicle was bombed as well, and the survivors evacuated it to a third vehicle that was also bombed, killing them all.
Dokumentation der Hölle, des Genozids an der palästinensischen Bevölkerung in Gaza
Selbst wenn Gaza jetzt in deutschen Medien so gut wie keine Rolle mehr spielt … Der israelische Historiker Lee Mordechai hat die Abgründe dieser Hölle in einer ausführlichen Dokumentation bis inkl. Ende 2024 zusammengestellt. Dieses Grauen ist nicht zu ertragen. Aber es ist notwendig, dies zu dokumentieren. Siehe hier. Zu Ihrer Information unter Teil A. die Zusammenfassung des Textes, übersetzt von Susanne Hofmann, und unter Teil B. eine Dokumentation von Haaretz.

“Ich garantiere nicht, dass jede einzelne Zeugenaussage absolut zuverlässig ist. In der Tat weiß niemand genau, was in Gaza passiert – nicht die internationalen Medien, sicherlich nicht die Israelis und nicht einmal die IDF. In ‘Bearing Witness’ behaupte ich, dass das Verstummen der Stimmen aus dem Gazastreifen – die Einschränkung der Informationen, die von dort kommen – Teil der Arbeitsmethode ist, die den Krieg möglich macht. Ich stehe hinter der Synthese, die ich verwende, und ich wünschte, ich läge falsch. Aber von israelischer Seite gibt es nichts. Ich spreche von Beweisen – bringt mir Beweise!”
Ein Fall, der in dem Dokument beschrieben wird, auch wenn es vielen Israelis schwer fallen wird, dies zu glauben, bezieht sich auf den Einsatz einer Drohne durch die IDF, die Geräusche eines weinenden Säuglings abgab, um festzustellen, wo sich Zivilisten aufhielten und sie vielleicht aus ihrem Schutzraum herauszulocken. In dem Video, auf das Mordechai verweist, ist ein Weinen zu hören und die Lichter einer Drohne zu sehen.
“Wir wissen, dass es Drohnen mit Lautsprechern gibt, vielleicht macht sich ein gelangweilter Soldat einen Spaß daraus und die Palästinenser empfinden es als schrecklich”, sagt er. “Aber ist es wirklich so weit hergeholt, dass ein Soldat, anstatt sich mit Höschen und BHs filmen zu lassen oder die Sprengung einer Straße seiner Frau zu widmen, so etwas tut? Es mag erfunden sein, aber es passt zu dem, was ich sehe.” Diese Woche strahlte Al Jazeera einen investigativen Bericht über die so genannten weinenden Drohnen aus und behauptete, ihr Einsatz sei von einer Reihe von Augenzeugen bestätigt worden, die alle die gleiche Geschichte erzählten.
“Wir können immer noch über solche anekdotischen Berichte streiten, aber es ist schwieriger, dies zu tun, wenn wir mit Bergen von fundierteren Berichten konfrontiert werden”, bemerkt Mordechai. “Dutzende amerikanischer Ärzte, die als Freiwillige in Gaza arbeiteten, berichteten zum Beispiel, dass sie fast jeden Tag Kinder sahen, denen in den Kopf geschossen worden war – wie ist das zu erklären? Versuchen wir überhaupt, das zu erklären oder zu verkraften?”
Attacks on hospitals during the escalation of hostilities in Gaza (7 October 2023 – 30 June 2024)
INTRODUCTION
1. This report presents grave concerns regarding attacks on hospitals, as well as operations within them and in their vicinity, in Gaza covering the period 7 October 2023 to 30 June 2024. In the context of the ongoing escalation of hostilities in Gaza, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has since early October 2023 documented repeated attacks on hospitals and operations within and in the vicinity of hospitals, leading to sustained combat in and around many hospitals. This pattern has led to the destruction of most hospitals in Gaza, pushing the healthcare system to the point of almost complete collapse. Attacks on hospitals were reported in each of the areas in which the Israeli military conducted ground operations, starting in November 2023 with an attack on Al Shifa Medical Complex and other hospitals in Gaza City. At the end of June 2024, 22 out of 38 hospitals across Gaza had been rendered non-functional, according to the Ministry of Health of the State of Palestine (Palestinian MOH).
2. In gathering, assessing, and verifying the information contained in this report, and drawing conclusions based on international human rights law and international humanitarian law, OHCHR applied its standard methodology. The monitoring and verification of violations remained extremely challenging, including owing to access constraints, a high level of insecurity, and threats and direct attacks also on United Nations personnel, monitors and humanitarian actors. Nevertheless, verification work continued, and information was gathered from multiple independent sources, including victims and witnesses; military and weapons experts; open sources, including satellite imagery, videos and photos; credible organizations and individuals; official and other documentation. The analysis of the information involved legal and weapons expertise, including from independent experts. Findings are included in the report where the “reasonable grounds” standard of proof has been met, namely: based on a body of verified information, an objective and ordinarily prudent observer would have reasonable grounds to believe that the facts took place as described and, where legal conclusions are drawn, that these facts meet all the elements of a violation. On 16 December 2024, the report was shared with the Permanent Missions of Israel and the State of Palestine for factual comments. The State of Palestine and Israel responded with comments on 19 and 20 December, respectively. OHCHR welcomes receiving these comments, which can be read here.
UN Human Rights Office Issues Damning Report on Israeli Attacks on Gaza hospitals
UN Human Rights Office report on Tuesday, December 31, condemned deadly Israeli attacks on hospitals in Gaza, saying they had devastated the Palestinian occupied territory health system and raised serious concerns about Israel’s compliance with international law.
The appalling destruction wrought by the Israeli military’s attacks on the Kamal Adwan hospital last Friday – leaving the population of North Gaza with almost no access to adequate health care – reflects the pattern of attacks documented in the report. Staff and patients were forced to flee or were taken into custody, with many reports of torture and ill-treatment. The director of the hospital was taken into custody and his fate and whereabouts are unknown.

To the International Criminal Court Prosecutor
– Investigate Israeli authorities’ actions and policies that have deprived the civilian population of Gaza of water, including as war crimes, as the crime against humanity of extermination, and as genocide.
‘You Feel Like You Are Subhuman’: Israel’s Genocide Against Palestinians in Gaza
(December 5, 2024)
To make a determination on genocide, Amnesty International first examined whether Palestinians in Gaza constitute part of a protected group under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention), that is a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. It then focused on three out of the five prohibited acts under the Genocide Convention: “killing members of the group”; “causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group”; and “deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part”. It finally examined whether Israel committed these acts with the specific “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, [the] group, as such”.
To this end, Amnesty International interviewed 212 people as part of its research. They included Palestinian victims, survivors and witnesses of air strikes, displacement, detention, the destruction of farms, homes and agricultural land, as well as individuals who faced the impact of Israel’s restrictions on humanitarian aid. Amnesty International also spoke with members of local authorities in Gaza, Palestinian healthcare workers and representatives of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and UN agencies involved in the humanitarian response in Gaza.
Amnesty International complemented these interviews with its analysis of an extensive range of visual and digital evidence, including satellite imagery, video footage and photographs posted on social media or obtained directly by its researchers. It authenticated and, where possible, geolocated video footage and photographs. It reviewed an extensive collection of media reports, statements, reports and data sets published by UN agencies and humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza, as well as Palestinian and Israeli human rights groups. It reviewed statements by senior Israeli government and military officials and official Israeli bodies, including spokespersons of the Israeli military and the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), a unit within Israel’s Ministry of Defense tasked with administering civilian matters in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) . Amnesty International also examined submissions made to and decisions taken by the Israeli Supreme Court as well as publicly available material relating to South Africa’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Despite its repeated attempts to engage with the Israeli authorities through information and meeting requests, the organization received no substantive answer to any of its letters sent between 30 October 2023 and 16 October 2024.
Opinion: Another expert report finds Israel is committing genocide. The West yawns
Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) agree that Israel is striving for extermination. It has not hidden its intent, and that intent is confirmed by its actions on the ground.
‘Anyone who Enters is Shot’ – Israeli Army Officers Reveal ‘Kill Zone’ in Gaza
Israeli army officers have revealed that an area along the Netzarim corridor in the Gaza Strip was a designated “kill zone” where “anyone who enters is shot,” the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on Wednesday.
A commander in Division 252 said that “forces in the field call it ‘the line of dead bodies,” because “after shootings, bodies are not collected, attracting packs of dogs who come to eat them.”
“In Gaza, people know that wherever you see these dogs, that’s where you must not go,” the commander is quoted as saying.

Human Rights Watch: Israel is guilty of extermination and acts of genocide in Gaza
Israel is guilty of the crime of extermination and acts of genocide in Gaza, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has concluded in a new report published on Thursday.
The US-based human rights organisation found that Israel has inflicted conditions of life in Gaza calculated to destroy the enclave‘s Palestinian population. This amounts to extermination, which is a crime against humanity, and acts of genocide.
Coming two weeks after fellow rights group Amnesty International similarly concluded that Israel is guilty of genocide, the Human Rights Watch report is the latest sign of a growing consensus around Israel‘s actions in Gaza.

Amnesty International investigation concludes Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza
Amnesty International’s research has found sufficient basis to conclude that Israel has committed and is continuing to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, the organization said in a landmark new report published today.
The report, ‘You Feel Like You Are Subhuman’: Israel’s Genocide Against Palestinians in Gaza, documents how, during its military offensive launched in the wake of the deadly Hamas-led attacks in southern Israel on 7 October 2023, Israel has unleashed hell and destruction on Palestinians in Gaza brazenly, continuously and with total impunity.
UK urged to share Gaza spy planes footage with ICC war crimes probe
(October 30, 2024)
The defence ministry told Middle East Eye: “As a matter of principle, we only provide intelligence to our allies where we are satisfied that it will be used in accordance with International Humanitarian Law, and in this instance, only information relating to hostage rescue is passed to the Israeli authorities.”
(…)
Brendan O’Hara, the Scottish National Party’s spokesperson for the Middle East, told MEE it was “inconceivable”, given the scale of the destruction and death in Gaza, that the flights “do not contain footage which would be of significant interest to the investigators from the International Criminal Court”.
(…)
Labour MP Rachael Maskell told MEE: “It is crucial that any intelligence of breaches of international law are shared with the courts so they can assess the evidence and secure justice.”
“I trust that the UK government is working with the international courts to aid them in their work.”

British spy planes have recorded up to 1,000 hours of footage over Gaza, including from the day Israel assassinated three UK aid workers.
South Africa has presented genocide memorial against Israel to ICJ, meeting October 2024 deadline
The country filed the dossier to the International Court of Justice on 28 October, but this does not necessarily mean there will be a judgment soon. It could be years before there is a ruling.
South Africa files evidence for ‚genocide‘ in Gaza
The document „contains evidence which shows how the government of Israel has violated the genocide convention by promoting the destruction of Palestinians living in Gaza“, the presidency said in a statement.
An official for the Hague-based court on Monday confirmed it had received the document, but declined to give further detail.
How Israel Found and Killed Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar in Gaza
Photographs obtained by The New York Times, some of which later circulated online, show the body of a man with facial features strongly resembling Mr. Sinwar. The man’s body has several severe wounds, including to the head and leg. The photographs show that the body has several features matching those seen in archival footage of Mr. Sinwar, including distinctive moles near his eyes and crooked teeth.

On Friday, Hamas confirmed Mr. Sinwar’s death.
Israel Supporters Are Some Of The Worst People In The World
(24.02.2024)
No political faction I have ever interacted with is as immoral and dishonest, or so frequently says things that are so jaw-droppingly disgusting I am sure I must be misinterpreting it at first. I’ve never tangled with a more odious group of people.
In South Africa’s application, the Background section notes that in past bombings of Gaza, UN fact finding missions found no evidence of Israeli allegations that armed groups used hospitals, but they did find evidence that Israel used Palestinian civilians as human shields.
This was a pernicious lie that was promoted by Biden and his administration to justify Israel’s attacking of hospitals. Those of us who warned that this was a lie at the time were accused of being Hamas propagandists.
The case of al-Shifa: Investigating the assault on Gaza’s largest hospital
The Post’s analysis shows:
– The rooms connected to the tunnel network discovered by IDF troops showed no immediate evidence of military use by Hamas.
– None of the five hospital buildings identified by Hagari appeared to be connected to the tunnel network.
– There is no evidence that the tunnels could be accessed from inside hospital wards.
Hours before IDF troops entered the complex, the Biden administration declassified U.S. intelligence assessments that it said bolstered Israel’s claims. In the aftermath of the raid, Israeli and U.S. officials have stood firm behind their initial statements.
A Washington Post investigation has found no proof of a Hamas command center under al-Shifa Hospital following Israel’s attack on the medical complex
Evidence Doesn‘t Support Israeli Claims That Hospital Was Hamas Command Center: Report
The Israeli raid on al-Shifa Hospital last month, which was preceded by an evacuation order aimed at thousands of people sheltering at the hospital and hundreds of sick patients, produced one of the grisliest scenes in the country’s ground invasion of the Gaza Strip: a “death zone” that included a mass grave at the entrance of the hospital and dozens of desperate patients inside, according to the World Health Organization, whose aid workers arrived at the facility on Nov. 18 as part of a humanitarian mission.
Forty patients, including four premature babies, died in the hospital due to a lack of electricity in the days surrounding the raid, hospital administrators told the United Nations.

Israel ‘buries alive’ dozens of displaced Palestinians at Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital
According to al-Sharif’s distressing footage, Israeli forces deliberately targeted the hospital’s courtyard, which was housing numerous tents set up by displaced people. These individuals, seeking a haven in the hospital grounds, were reportedly caught in the bulldozing operation before they could flee to safety.
The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has called for an international investigation into the reports.

“We cannot describe the situation … tens of bodies run over by Israeli bulldozers,” al-Sharif says as he pans around the yard, showing more crushed heaps of rubble and body parts.
„Dozens of displaced, sick, and wounded people were buried alive. The occupation [Israeli] bulldozers trampled the tents of the displaced people in the hospital yard and brutally crushed them,” he adds.
The White House says it remains “convinced of the soundness” of intelligence it says shows Hamas using Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza as a command node, but again declined to provide any further details of what led to that assessment. (CNN)
During the morning, they inserted cartons claiming to be aid into Shifa. Medical doctors said back then that they didn’t receive any of the aid. Come evening, those very cartons resurfaced, magically transformed into supposed evidence of weapons within the hospital.
The Israeli military reach a new level of stupidity: Israeli military spox proudly showcase a computer and CDs as groundbreaking military evidence. It‘s just the MRI room – where patients get their results on, you guessed it, a CD.

The IDF posted a few videos of their tour through the hospital. No tunnels, command centers, etc. to be found in any of these clips or pictures. Instead, focus is on „grab bags“ of some guns and body armor scattered around, and a laptop next to CD-Rs.

Russia says Israel should provide evidence it didn‘t strike Gaza hospital
Russia‘s foreign ministry said on Wednesday that a strike on a hospital in Gaza that killed hundreds of Palestinians was a shocking crime, adding that Israel should provide satellite images to prove that it was not involved in the attack.

French police officer detained for voluntary manslaughter after fatally shooting teen driver
Police initially reported that one officer shot at the teenager because he was driving his car at him, but this version of events was contradicted by a video circulating on social media and authenticated by AFP.
The footage shows the two policemen standing by the side of the stationary car, with one pointing a weapon at the driver. A voice is heard saying: „You are going to get a bullet in the head.“
The police officer appears to fire at the driver at point-blank range as the car abruptly drives off, advancing a few dozen metres before crashing.

Hi, I’m Yousur Al-Hlou and I produced this visual investigation along with my colleagues Masha Froliak, Dmitriy Khavin, Christoph Koettl, Haley Willis, Alexander Cardia, Natalie Reneau and Malachy Browne. I’ll never forget the reporting trips Masha and I made to Bucha, Ukraine, in early April: we witnessed bodies, some with arms bound behind their backs, strewn along a single street in this town on the outskirts of Kyiv. We decided to investigate who killed them. Eight months later, we know. Using exclusive phone records, documents, interviews and thousands of hours of video, we proved how a single paratrooper military unit, the 234th Air Assault Regiment, killed dozens of Ukrainians on Yablunska Street.

CNN‘s Brad Johnson on how he uncovered possible second gun evidence in the only known tape of the RFK assassination.
The Robert Kennedy Assassination
Photographs taken by the FBI, LAPD, and AP show apparent bullet holes, which have been circled and initialed. Some pictures show police officers pointing at them; one AP photo is labeled „Bullet found near Kennedy shooting scene.“ Two police officers depicted in the photos told author Vincent Bugliosi that they had observed an actual bullet embedded in the wood of the center door frame. Hotel waiter Martin Patrusky said that police officers told him that they had dug two bullets out of the center divider. FBI agent William Bailey, in the pantry within hours of the shooting, said he could see the base of the bullet in the center divider. Other confirmation comes from photographers and even the carpenter who assisted in removal of the door frame for police evidence.
In 2004, a tape recording which featured the gunfire in the pantry surfaced. Made by Polish freelance journalist Stanislaw Pruszynski, the tape was analyzed by a team led by Philip Van Praag, who announced that the tape revealed thirteen shots fired in the space of five seconds.

Im Interview mit dem SPIEGEL verteidigt EU-Kommissarin Johansson die von der EU geplante Chatkontrolle. Dabei sagt sie drei Mal die Unwahrheit und verbreitet mindestens sieben Mal irreführende Aussagen. Ein Faktencheck.
In order to blackmail lawmakers into agreeing to the totalitarian #ChatControl #CSAM scanner, EU Home Affairs Commissioner @YlvaJohansson at a conference just openly lied in the face of ministers. Let’s fact-check her lies one by one: Thread (1/6)
(Jan 17, 2023)
Johansson‘s lie #1: Without adoption of #ChatControl by 2024, police have no means of prosecution.
Not true. Plus #ChatControl does not significantly contribute to protecting children from sexual abuse.

Lie #2: We don’t open new doors for detection.
Truth is: Under the proposed #ChatControl legislation for the first time all providers of messaging, e-mail and chat services could be compelled to deploy error-prone incrimination machines.

Lie #3: Only after a court order may police search our communications.
Wrong again. According to the proposal, any „independent authority“ could order indiscriminate #ChatControl searches of our private correspondence.

Lie #4: Without the #ChatControl law, law enforcement agencies lack 80% of all leads.
There are no source to back up this figure. To the contrary, there would be a massive increase in false suspicions, with severe consequences for those affected.

EU-Innenkommissarin @YlvaJohansson lügt schamlos, um die totalitäre #Chatkontrolle durchzudrücken – selbst vor den EU-Innenminister:innen. Ich entzaubere ihre Märchen der Reihe nach: Thread (1/6)
(Jan 17, 2023)
Johanssons Lüge #1: Ohne schnelle Annahme der #Chatkontrolle bis 2024 habe die Polizei keine Möglichkeiten zur Strafverfolgung mehr.
Eine glatte Lüge. Ohnehin taugt eine #Chatkontrolle nicht zum Kinderschutz.
Mehr im Video: (2/6)
Lüge #2: Ermittlern würden mit der #Chatkontrolle keine neuen Türen geöffnet.
Die Wahrheit ist: Erstmals könnten sämtliche Messenger-, Mail- und Chatdienste zum Einsatz von Verdächtigungsmaschinen verpflichtet werden.

Lüge #4: Ohne der #Chatkontrolle fehlen Strafverfolgungsbehörden 80% aller Hinweise.
Es gibt keine Quellen, die diese Zahl belegen würden. Umgekehrt würde die Zahl der Falschverdächtigungen massiv ansteigen, was schwerwiegende Folgen für Betroffene hätte.

3/ @TrentTelenko Furthermore, this is the only agricultural processing site in a region of 25 sq km, cursory evidence that supports an intentional targeting of Poland behind the facade of Russia‘s biggest missile barrage into Ukraine so far, with the intention of a false flag???
So that photo all but rules out the „nearby Ukrainian 5V55K missile launch“ narrative. The crater is too small and there is no fragmentation damage on the tractor and cart consistent with a „5Zh93“ warhead in airburst or impact modes.
We will have to wait for what the Ukrainian investigators find & are *allowed* to report. They need to demonstrate the kind of navigation kit on that missile.
That will answer essentially every question that is left hanging, & if my observations are valid, w/o a trajectory.
Very clear photos of the missiles that impacted in Poland – no doubt that they are Ukrainian S-300’s. These misfires have been common and it was just a matter of time before something bad happened.
Iran to Bolster Weapons Aid to Russia for Use in Ukraine: Reports
Iran is planning to aid Moscow’s war in Ukraine by sending more weapons to Moscow, according to anonymous U.S. and Western security officials, the Washington Post reported.
The planned weapons delivery from Tehran could include two types of surface-to-surface missiles, officials said, adding to the Iranian attack drones reportedly supplied to Moscow back in August.
Dozens of bodies have been discovered in shallow graves in Izyum, Ukraine — an area only just recaptured from Russian troops after more than six months. CBS News‘ Debora Patta reports from the site, where the bodies will soon be exhumed.
Ukraine: As Ukraine retakes territory from Russia, securing evidence of alleged war crimes is crucial
(12.09.2022)
“As Ukraine regains control of land occupied by Russian forces, it must prioritize securing evidence of their alleged war crimes. Gathering such evidence is extremely resource-intensive, and so we are calling on the international community to provide resources that will assist Ukraine’s efforts. All ongoing and future trials over alleged war crimes must meet fair trial standards.”
Mali’s Junta Rulers Slam France for Filming Wagner Mercs as They Staged a ‘Mass Grave’
(28.04.2022)
Mali’s military government on Tuesday night accused France of spying and deliberately violating its airspace in the latest tension between the junta and the former colonial power.
Speaking on ORTM state TV, Military spokesman Colonel Abdoulaye Maiga said France violated the government’s order to get permission for all flights over Mali.
France says mercenaries from Russia‘s Wagner Group staged ‚French atrocity‘ in Mali
(22.04.2022)
The French military has said it has videos of Russian mercenaries burying bodies near an army base in northern Mali, which it says is part of a smear campaign against the French, who handed the Gossi base over to Malian forces earlier this week.
AFL LAWSUIT REVEALS DAMNING CDC DOCUMENTS PROVING GOVERNMENT COLLUSION WITH BIG TECH TO CENSOR FREE SPEECH AND PROMOTE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION PROPAGANDA
Last July, then-White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted that the White House was working with social media companies to identify “misinformation.” Specifically, she said, “we’re regularly making sure social media platforms are aware of the latest narratives, dangerous to public health that we and many other Americans are seeing across all of social and traditional media. And we work to engage with them to better understand the enforcement of social media platform policies.”
AFL immediately submitted FOIA requests to the Department of Health and Human Services, the CDC, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Institutes of Health to uncover the degree to which the CDC and the White House have been censoring content that it has deemed “disinformation” or “misinformation.” Predictably, the Biden Administration obstructed and delayed complying with their legal obligation to provide such information, and AFL sued the CDC to compel their release.
Today, after a year of work, AFL has obtained its first damning release of documents.
Dokumente beweisen: US-Regierung nutzt Big Tech zur Zensur
Am Mittwoch gab die NGO Organisation America First Legal (AFL) bekannt, dass sie dank einer Klage gegen die Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) an die Dokumente gelangt sei. Der erste Versuch, an die Dokumente über den „Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)“ über das Weiße Haus an die Dokumente zu kommen, war gescheitert.
AFL interpretiert die Dokumente nicht nur als Beweis für eine Koordinierung zwischen den privaten Konzernen und der Regierung. Es habe sich um geheime Absprachen gehandelt, um die Zensur auf den Internetplattformen zu koordinieren.
Spätestens ab Dezember 2020 und mindestens bis Juni 2021 kommunizierte die CDC mit Google, Facebook und Twitter. Die „Zusammenarbeit“ ging so weit, dass Beiträge von einzelnen Nutzern als Beispiele vorgelegt wurden, um festzuhalten, was zensiert werden muss.
NEW: Satellite images show evidence of mass graves outside Mariupol—images the city of Mariupol is calling „crimes of the Russian army“—as Russians work to take the besieged city and renew the offensive in eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine‘s Zelensky Says He Will Address UN Security Council Today
„I would like to emphasise that we are interested in the most complete, transparent investigation, the results of which will be known and explained to the entire international community,“ Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address.
US-Satellitenbilder belegen Butscha-Massaker
Das russische Verteidigungsministerium hatte die Bilder als „Fälschungen“ bezeichnet. Demnach seien die Leichen noch nicht dort gewesen, als die russischen Streitkräfte am 30. März abgezogen waren. Maxar-Satellitenbilder vom 19. und 21.März zeigen jedoch, dass sich bereits zu diesem Zeitpunkt mehrere Leichen auf der Yablonska-Straße in Butscha befanden.
High-resolution Maxar #satelliteimagery collected over #Bucha, #Ukraine verifies and corroborates recent social media videos and photos that reveal bodies lying in the streets and left out in the open for weeks.
Satellite images show bodies lay in Bucha for weeks, despite Russian claims.
Satellite images provided to The Times by Maxar Technologies show that at least 11 of those had been on the street since March 11, when Russia, by its own account, occupied the town.
To confirm when the bodies appeared, and when the civilians were likely killed, the Visual Investigations team at The Times conducted a before-and-after analysis of satellite imagery. The images show dark objects of similar size to a human body appearing on Yablonska Street between March 9 and March 11.
