Israeli spokespersons, many in the media and even human rights groups suggested that the size of the Oct 17 blast at al-Ahli hospital was a result of unspent fuel remaining in a misfired Palestinian rocket. We find that all the rockets they pointed to have spent all their fuel🧵

Im Februar 2020 wurden neun Menschen bei einem rassistischen Anschlag in #Hanau ermordet. Das Vorgehen der Polizei an diesem Abend wirft viele Fragen auf. Wir arbeiten mit @19februarhanau und den Familien der Opfer zusammen, um einige dieser Fragen zu untersuchen.

Less than two months before the 75 anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, the German Luftwaffe advertises an image of one of its fighter jets against the ‘pastoral landscape’ of the Apartheid Wall, occupied Palestinian towns and villages and illegal settlements.

@tweetissima @ForensicArchi Whatever “art” is (and we don’t consider ourselves artists) is anyways unstable. Abandoning the term to appease our critics is giving up too much. Why not insist, as counterintuitive as it may seem, on the evidentiary dimension of art and its truth value?
