In 2022, a major report by @p4hr.bsky.social exposed the racist origins of ‘Excited Delirium’ (ExD). Despite no scientific basis, ExD and its inheritor ABD are still often referred to when racialised men are killed by police. We’re set to continue PHR’s vital work: phr.org/our-work/res...

"Excited Delirium" and Deaths in Police Custody - PHR

“Excited delirium” cannot be disentangled from its racist and unscientific origins and is not a valid, independent medical or psychiatric diagnosis.

Gaza after the ceasefire is defined by the ‘yellow line’ — drawn by Israel, and dividing the strip in two. Our evidence suggests that Israel seeks to make the line permanent, as ‘reconstruction’ plans normalise this new stage of Israel’s occupation: frames.forensic-architecture.org/gaza/ceasefire

For decades, Israel has routinely destroyed the dense and winding fabric of Palestinian camps and neighbourhoods, which gave Palestinians an advantage that offset the occupier’s technological capabilities. By contrast, the housing blocks proposed in Egypt's plan can be easily invaded and monitored.

(3) Raid Routes: Over the last 17 months, we identified 13 raid routes created by Israel, extending into the Gaza Strip from Israeli bases east of the perimeter. The Egyptian master plan includes provisions for expanding these routes to the sea, allowing Israel the means to invade and bisect Gaza.

Forensic Architecture @forensicarchi.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

(2) Security corridors: Since October 2023, Israel has constructed a 6km-wide impenetrable barrier along Wadi Gaza and expanded the buffer zone along the border with Egypt. The Egyptian master plan incorporates this de facto reality.

171

Forensic Architecture @forensicarchi.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

(1) Buffer Zone: Since October 2023, Israel has destroyed all structures within 1-1.5km of the Gaza perimeter. Egypt's plan effectively endorses the erasure of Palestinian neighbourhoods within this zone, rezoning them for agricultural, investment, and industrial purposes.

Forensic Architecture @forensicarchi.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

Egypt's plan for Gaza’s reconstruction (presented on 4 March) includes an architectural master plan that carries forward key elements of Israel’s designed destruction of Gaza, with its proposal for (1) a ‘buffer zone’, (2) security corridors, and (3) raid routes.

Satellite images from 19 January reveal ongoing destruction of urban and civilian infrastructure in Rafah and in proximity to the Netzarim Corridor, even as the Israeli military was reportedly withdrawing from the latter area. Two UNWRA schools were among the destroyed facilities.

Forensic Architecture @forensicarchi.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

The majority of attacks on civilians that we identified were concentrated in Rafah, and along or in proximity to Salah al-Din and al-Rashid Roads, the two major arteries by which civilians were permitted to return to the north.

Forensic Architecture @forensicarchi.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

We have continued to track Israeli military conduct since the ceasefire came into effect on 19 January. Our analysis confirmed 16 attacks on civilians and multiple incidents in which urban and civilian infrastructure was destroyed between 19 January and 9 February. tinyurl.com/FA-ceasefire...

Our ongoing research into the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages understands the Nakba not only as a historical event, but also an ongoing strategy of colonial erasure that Israel continues to implement today.

Forensic Architecture @forensicarchi.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Until now, there was little documentation of the ethnic cleansing and destruction of al-Dawayima. Aerial images (1945-2024) reveal the systematic erasure of the village & gradual construction of present-day Israeli colonies of Karmei Katif, Amatzia & Bnei Dekalim, built over the village’s remains.

Forensic Architecture @forensicarchi.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Central to our investigation were ‘memory maps’ of al-Dawayima produced by Mohammad Rajab Abu Khudra with the help of witnesses to the massacre. The survivors we interviewed used these maps to provide invaluable details about the Israeli attack and the village’s layout, aiding our reconstruction.

Forensic Architecture @forensicarchi.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Palestinian survivors identified the location of the massacre as having taken place outside the ‘Tur al-Zagh' cave where civilians had fled as Israeli forces invaded. Using imagery, maps, and testimonies from former residents, we reconstructed al-Dawayima and Tur al-Zagh in 3D.
