First ever encyclopedia documenting the Gaza war released Sunday

GAZA, (PIC)– The “creativity” studies and training foundation released Sunday the first ever electronic encyclopedia that documents Israel’s late 2008 early 2009 war on the Gaza Strip to mark the war’s second anniversary as it approaches.

The encyclopedia, dubbed “the Gaza Holocaust”, is the product of drawn out efforts by the foundation’s strategic research and studies center, said foundation head Mohammed al-Madhoun. “More than 120 of the foundation’s field researchers contributed to this remarkable work, as well as many more from research centers, rights foundations, and ministries.”

The idea, sparked at the time of Israel’s aggression, was to document the suffering and crimes that occurred during the war. “The encyclopedia contributes to the decay of Israel’s legitimacy in the framework of a battle that stripped Israel of its moral and humanitarian legitimacy.”

The reference book attempts to correct the past mistake of not recording Israel’s crimes. “The encyclopedia therefore protects history from being falsified, and provides a reliable reference with voice and picture.”

The name “the Gaza Holocaust” was part of the name battle that Israel had been playing in an attempt to monopolize names. The named heroic disaster was therefore named the holocaust.

Madhoun called on media agencies to deliver the encyclopedia to every household in the world. “The encyclopedia should be translated into English, and then continued to be developed and supported with more data and documents.”

He added that the reference followed a new approach in documenting history and building cases against criminals in light of the current information revolution.

Palestinian Group Launches “Gaza Holocaust” Website

Al Manar

27/12/2010 A Palestinian organization on Sunday launched a website ahead of the second anniversary of Operation Cast Lead which documents Israeli war crimes called “the electronic encyclopedia of the Gaza holocaust.”
 
The Ibdaa institute for research and training, the organization behind the website, was founded in January 2007 and presents itself as apolitical.
 
The website includes the names and ranks of dozens of soldiers and officers involved in the operation in an attempt to present “crimes” that the Israeli occupation forces committed against the Palestinian population, the sights founders claimed.
Israeli military Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi appears at the top of names along with Major-Generals Dan Harel and Eliezer Marom, Avi Mizrahi among others.
 
The website states that one of its goals is “to expose to the world the faults of the Zionist propaganda, which says the occupation soldiers damaged the resistance” and “to support and provide the investigators with material.”
 
The site contains graphic images and footage of casualties, as well as testimonies from eyewitnesses.
 
The Israeli military on Sunday warned officers throughout the military that the social network Facebook site could be used by the “country’s enemies” to glean classified information after their names and personal information was published on the “Gaza Holocaust” website.
 
In a letter sent recently to all commanders in the army from the Operations Directorate, officers were urged to inform their subordinates about the risks that exist on websites such as Facebook.
