The evidentiary base

What the record rests on

Findings by courts and mandated inquiries sit at the top of this hierarchy; field documentation and the Israeli press sit alongside them because admissions against interest carry their own weight.

Sources by class

Counts are of the linked entries below, not of every citation in the report.

644 of 644 sources

Courts and tribunals

Judgments, orders and advisory opinions. The highest evidentiary class in this record: findings of fact and law by the bodies competent to make them. Domestic judgments are listed here only where a question raised in this record has actually been litigated to judgment in a national court.

United Nations bodies

Commissions of inquiry, treaty bodies, special procedures and operational agencies. Mandated, methodologically documented, and published under institutional accountability.

Human rights organisations

Investigations with documented methodology by the organisations with the longest field presence. Israeli and Palestinian organisations are listed alongside the international ones because their findings converge.

Peer-reviewed research

Published, methodologically transparent research — principally on mortality estimation, where the difference between recorded and actual death tolls is the central empirical question.

Israeli sources

Israeli journalism, official statements and leaked internal material. Under this record's evidentiary rule, admissions by the state and its press carry the greatest weight against the state.

Bluth briefing (4 May 2026), the Geocartography/Penn State polling (March 2025), and Ehud Olmert's ethnic-cleansing columns (June 2026).

    Including the 'Lavender' and 'Where's Daddy?' investigations into AI-assisted targeting, sourced to serving Israeli intelligence officers.

  • Israeli Ministry of Defence and the IDF Spokesperson's Unit · continuous
    The primary record for the siege orders of October 2023 and subsequent operational announcements.
  • Yesh Din — Volunteers for Human Rights · 2003–
    The military-justice funnel, from Israeli military records: 2,427 complaints between 2016 and 2024 produced 552 investigations (22.7%) and 23 indictments (0.9%). Yesh Din puts the probability of prosecution for killing a Palestinian at 0.4%.
  • Rossing Center for Education and Dialogue · 30 March 2026
    Third annual report of the Israeli organisation's Jerusalem Center for Jewish-Christian Relations. 155 documented incidents in 2025 against 111 in 2024 and 89 in 2023, with 61 physical assaults and 52 attacks on church property.

    Judgment on the Law for Prevention of Damage to the State of Israel through Boycott (11 July 2011, passed 47-38). The Court struck down section 2(c), which had allowed damages without proof of harm, and upheld the remainder, including the application of the law to boycotts directed at the settlements alone. Cited at Rebuttal 22: the state's own legislature and court treat the boycott as a political campaign answered by civil liability, not as a hate crime answered by criminal law.
  • Prime Minister's Office, State of Israel · 11 December 2025
    The government's own readout, recording that Netanyahu "congratulated Chairman Wasserman on his visit to Israel and thanked him for his great support for the State of Israel."

    'In Palestine we do not propose even to go through the form of consulting the wishes of the present inhabitants of the country ...

How this dashboard was built

No gaps

build.py parses the report into structured JSON, emitting every heading, paragraph, list item and table. verify.py then reconciles every non-blank line of the source against the output; it currently reports zero missing fragments. The Evidence section renders that JSON in full, so what you read there is the report itself, not a summary of it.

Time-series data

fetch_timeseries.py downloads the Tech For Palestine daily datasets (1,070 daily records, October 2023 – September 2026) and aggregates them to monthly series. Their cumulative totals corroborate the figures cited independently in the report: 74,564 killed as of 2026-10-28.

Corroboration

Every statistic must appear in at least two independent sources before it enters the record. Where sources disagree, the more recent and better-documented figure is used and the disagreement is stated. Where a figure is an estimate rather than a count — as with the mortality studies — it is labelled as one. Provenance joins every claim to the bodies it rests on, and will reject any class of source you name and recount what is left.
