Who Are We?
The nights in Gaza are never silent. If explosions cease, the ominous hum of drones lingers in the air. In the midst of this relentless siege, a father stood over the rubble of what was once his home, clutching a tattered school bag that belonged to his son. “He was learning to write his name,” he whispered, his voice breaking. Stories like his are not rare—they are the daily reality of a people enduring unimaginable loss and relentless violence. The Witness Eye Channel was established to document these stories, expose the truth, and seek justice for the countless lives shattered by these crimes.
In a world where media is often weaponized to distort reality, we—conscientious media professionals—bear the urgent responsibility of countering the disinformation surrounding Gaza. The Witness Eye Channel is a dedicated broadcast initiative launched to raise global awareness about the ongoing genocide and support the legal proceedings of the Gaza Tribunal. However, our mission does not stop there. Beyond the Tribunal, our work also reinforces efforts in international courts such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC), ensuring that legal scrutiny extends across all possible avenues.
The Gaza Tribunal, chaired by Richard Falk, is a global initiative designed to investigate and expose the atrocities in Palestine. It is envisioned as an authoritative archive of war crimes and a mechanism for mobilizing civil society to demand accountability. Witness Eye Channel will serve as its media counterpart—ensuring the Tribunal’s findings are widely disseminated, preserving evidence for legal processes, and keeping global audiences engaged in the pursuit of justice. However, while closely aligned with the Tribunal, the channel maintains its own distinct identity and objectives, contributing to a broader legal and advocacy framework.
Vision
Keeping the Case Alive
The submission and legal evaluation of evidence regarding the genocide in Gaza is an intricate and time-consuming process. Witness Eye Channel will maintain the urgency of this case by broadcasting live testimonies, expert analyses, and comprehensive updates from the Tribunal. Through continuous coverage, the channel will ensure that the world remains engaged with the trial process and the broader context of the Palestinian struggle.
Focused and Comprehensive Coverage
Witness Eye Channel’s programming will center exclusively on the genocide in Palestine, avoiding distractions of political posturing or unrelated agendas. Key content includes:
● Live Testimonies: Real-time accounts from witnesses participating in the Gaza Tribunal, shedding light on war crimes and human rights violations.
● From Ground Zero: Documentaries exploring the harrowing realities of life in Gaza, providing an unvarnished perspective on the ground.
● News Packages and Explainers: Authoritative updates and accessible breakdowns of complex issues, ensuring viewers stay informed and engaged.
● Historical Context: In-depth programming highlighting the historical roots of the current crisis, emphasizing that the genocide did not begin on October 7, 2023. This segment will expose foundational atrocities and the involvement of Israel’s early leadership in acts of violence, offering a critical lens through which to understand the present.
Collaboration and Global Reach
Witness Eye Channel will work in tandem with international media outlets and social media platforms to produce joint programs and amplify the Palestinian cause. By uniting voices and resources, the channel aims to create a cohesive and impactful narrative that challenges mainstream distortions.
Citizen Journalism: Reporting from the Heart of Gaza
Since the onset of the massacre, foreign journalists have been barred from entering Gaza, making the role of local reporters more critical than ever. Witness Eye Channel will establish a robust citizen journalist network, empowering individuals within Gaza to report in real time. This network will function as a mini news agency, providing unparalleled access to events as they unfold and ensuring that the voices of those most affected are heard.
Correcting the Narrative
Mainstream media has long perpetuated misconceptions about the Palestinian struggle, framing it as a “Palestinian issue” rather than acknowledging it as an “Israeli issue” rooted in systemic oppression and violence. Witness Eye Channel will work tirelessly to dismantle these misrepresentations, offering a platform for truth and fostering narrative superiority.
A Unified Platform for Advocacy
Witness Eye Channel aspires to be more than a broadcast outlet; it will serve as a unifying hub for media entities and advocates dedicated to the Palestinian cause. By consolidating efforts and ensuring that developments from the Gaza Tribunal resonate widely, the channel will play a pivotal role in sustaining momentum for justice and accountability.
Gaza Tribunal
The Gaza Tribunal is an international initiative aimed at investigating and prosecuting crimes committed during the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Chaired by Richard Falk, the Tribunal serves as a crucial mechanism for compiling an authoritative record of war crimes, mobilizing civil society, and supplementing legal proceedings at the ICJ and ICC. Its work is grounded in a model of advocacy jurisprudence—ensuring that its findings not only contribute to legal action but also educate and inspire global solidarity movements.
Witness Eye Channel will complement this mission by documenting testimonies, archiving expert analyses, and producing media that can be used in the Tribunal’s public hearings, as well as other international legal forums. However, while Witness Eye Channel and the Gaza Tribunal share common objectives, they are distinct entities with separate operational structures. The channel’s reporting will extend beyond the Tribunal’s proceedings, ensuring that broader legal and historical contexts remain in focus.
