Intent Portal: Law For Palestine

Intent Portal: Law For Palestine

Since October 7th, 2023, researchers at Law For Palestine have been documenting genocidal incitement against Palestinians by Israeli government officials, military personnel, and public figures. Visualizing Palestine collaborated with Law for Palestine on a new portal to house this crucial data, which they regularly update as a resource for legal action, advocacy, and ensuring justice for the Palestinian people.

Gaza- Resisting Cultural Genocide

Stop Killer AI

Stop Killer AI

Today, we are releasing Stop Killer AI to shed light on two of the artificial intelligence systems Israel has used to accelerate the mass killing of Palestinians: Lavender and Where’s Daddy?
