How this is tracked. The stream-watch pipeline pulls full transcripts of live Israel-Palestine debate streams, filters them for conflict content, and logs every claim argued at length. A count of 3/17 means the point was argued in 3 of the 17 streams analyzed that month; a dot means zero. "Movement" compares each point's share of the month's streams against the month before. Verdicts link to the full record on the ilRoot wiki. Points marked "on the watchlist" are logged and counted while their record page is being built; a talking point earns a page when it keeps earning airtime. Current corpus: one high-volume debate channel, expanding. Updated 2026-08-07.
