in the summer of 1996 dedicated to exposing
injustice, hypocrisy, disinformation and bigotry, and to
provide the different perspectives & interpretations of current
affairs on Palestine.
Our online digital presence

Coverage
Our scope is global and this blog has been online since the
summer of 1996. Since then we have brought the the plight of
the Palestinians all over the internet and offline we have been
involved in supporting the arts in Palestine as well support
many groups, causes and we have participated in the majority
of Calls4Action you have seen posted on this blog to assist with
both fiancial and moral support, as well as in
educating people on what is going on at various events in the
UK, United States & Canada to the gross injustice
inflicted on the Palestinian people, their supporters which
include Israelis by Israel and its allies, much of the material
currently posted on this blog concerns the Palestinians and
Palestine.
Goal
Window into Palestine aims to be the consolidated source of
news, articles, and everything that relates to Palestine.
Who we Are
The people who work on Window into Palestine are volunteers
who come from all walks of life who share the same values,
aspirations, vision, for a free Palestine and peace.
We do have some writers and people who submit stories,
comments among other things and we try to send them a
financial contribution as a thank you, just as we try to do that
with our volunteers.
Now is time for the disclaimer, every blog has one

In Peace And Solidarity
4 Palestine
I would like to bring to your attention a new media tool that might be of great assistance in the pursuit of justice for the Palestinian people.
ReplyDeleteI believe that more images of everyday Palestinian life must be shared with the world and traditional media is not doing the job for obvious reasons.
That having been said, we have recently developed a new free media platform that encourages groups to be formed using iPhones and a website. Any type of group can be formed; private, public, from bird watching to sports coaches and schools.
However, the goal of this site has always been to democratize the news by employing armies of citizen journalists. Having other groups use the site simply adds greater human reassures and numbers to the network.
The way the system works is quite simple but surprisingly effective and powerful. People power to be precise.
A group is established on our site or app, then a call goes out to common supporters to download our iis2iis (eyes to eyes) app at the Apple Store. The site is setup akin to a television network news room, with 9 screen showing the last videos or pictures that were sent. Above the screens is a world map and your followers locations. When you need one of them to capture images for you, you simple ask through what we call a "ping" and the closest one can respond if his preferences permit. If you have multiple followers in the area, you can have many different prospectives of the even in question. All material is time stamped and geolocated therefore…validated and not subject to the usual denials of authenticity and accuracy.
I've produced this short light hearted video to describe and demonstrate this powerful new media platform.
