A new documentary from Al Jazeera takes a look at evidence of war crimes in Gaza in the form of social media posted by Israeli soldiers recording and celebrating their own attacks on Palestinians. We play excerpts from the film Investigating War Crimes in Gaza, now available online, and speak to two of the journalists involved in its production, director Richard Sanders and Gaza-based correspondent Youmna ElSayed. “Israelis themselves were telling us precisely what they were doing and why they were doing it,” says Sanders about the evidence the team reviewed. “They don’t think it’s complicated. They don’t think it’s nuanced. Their rhetoric is often overtly genocidal.” ElSayed adds, “They’ve had all the courage to do that because they know that they are not even going to be condemned.”

Ofcourse they did. They and large parts of their civilian population have been repeatedly, publicly defending these war criminals actions. They actively protest against their prosecution.

Similar situation going on in Israeli prisons. In case anyone wants to know how detainees are treated, it’s war crimes everywhere you look. This CNN investigation is incredibly upsetting, but very detailed and well-sourced.
