Humanitarian Violence: a report by Forensic Architecture
JVL Introduction
Forensic Architecture has produced a major report “Humanitarian Violence: Israel’s Abuse of Preventative Measures in its 2023-2024 Genocidal Military Campaign in the Occupied Gaza Strip”.
It is accompanied by a stunning audio-visual presentation using detailed maps, graphics, animation, video and short text to capture the development of Israel’s occupation and erasure of large parts of the Gaza Strip and its population.
It reveals the uncertainties, inaccuracies, contradictions and confusions – and often sheer malice – in the instructions that were issued.
We repost the short text below, but its value in isolation is limited. It needs to be read and watched with the accompanying audio-visual materials available on the Forensic Architecture site here.
The full report can be downloaded here.

The strange thing is that all these dreadful actions against defenceless people are committed by Democracies. How often is one told that democracies belief in justice, freedom of the individual.
Bloody fucking Hell. The bastards. My curse extends to ‘ordinary’ Israelis who in saying nothing, doing nothing, are complicit by their silence in this disgusting manifestation of the mighty prevailing over the weak and vulnerable. Damn them.
Excellent report. On ‘democracies’. Lenin pointed out that in a capitalist democracy every five years citizens are allowed to choose who will exploit them, or in this case both themselves and the colonies they control.
Excellent graphics showing the ‘progress’ of displacement. This shows to me that this was a plan that was long in the making and not just as a result of October 7th.
