The Record That Cannot Be Erased — Over 300 Journalists and Witnesses Contributed to the Most Comprehensive War Crimes Archive in History
They cannot kill the footage.
ArchiveGenocide.com launched this week — a searchable, publicly accessible database housing 64,537 videos and 17,905 photos documenting the ongoing Israeli military campaign in Gaza. The archive was built by the team behind the Israel Exposed account on X, which has spent months collecting and preserving footage that mainstream platforms have repeatedly suppressed or removed.
The post announcing the launch has already accumulated 2.3 million views.
The archive is not a social media feed. It is a forensic record. Each entry is sourced from over 300 journalists and on-the-ground witnesses, tagged with geolocation data, and indexed with a victim list. A live map provides minute-by-minute updates. Individual videos can be downloaded. The entire archive can be seeded via torrent for decentralized preservation — ensuring no single platform can erase it.
The team behind the project was explicit about why decentralization matters: the footage exists because people sacrificed their lives to capture it. Keeping it accessible is the minimum the world owes them.
The archive comes as the UN Commission of Inquiry has formally concluded that Israel committed genocide against Palestinian children, and as the International Criminal Court faces ongoing pressure from the Israel lobby to abandon its investigations. The footage in this archive is the evidentiary foundation those institutions will need — if they have the courage to use it.
History is watching. So is the archive.
