US complicit in massive war crimes in Gaza
A new Al Jazeera documentary, Investigating War Crimes in Gaza, exposes evidence of Israeli war crimes, drawing from social media posts made by Israeli soldiers themselves. These videos, many shared publicly online, document attacks on unarmed Palestinian civilians and the destruction of their homes. Director Richard Sanders and Gaza correspondent Youmna ElSayed highlight that the footage reveals a troubling sense of impunity among Israeli soldiers, who seem to feel no fear of accountability. The film also showcases disturbing scenes, like the bombing of Al-Awda school in Gaza, which killed 31 displaced Palestinians, and the celebration of violence by some Israeli soldiers.The documentary emphasizes that this conflict is playing out in real time, as soldiers proudly share their actions online, turning acts of violence into viral content. The Israeli rhetoric, often genocidal and dismissive of Palestinian lives, is presented without the "nuance" often invoked by Western media. Palestinian novelist Susan Abulhawa describes it as the "first live-streamed genocide," pointing out that in an age of technology, ignorance of these atrocities is impossible. The film urges the international community to acknowledge the mounting evidence and hold those responsible to account, ending the widespread impunity that emboldens such violence.
