Many Israelis, still deeply affected by the events of October 7th, find it challenging to grasp that life continues to evolve. However, the world does indeed move forward. Earlier this week, President Biden issued an executive order aimed at regulating Artificial Intelligence, including DEEP FAKES.
In the Gaza Strip, advanced AI technologies might not be in use, but there is a troubling trend of presenting fiction as fact.

It's crucial to stress that I am not downplaying the real actual loss of life in Gaza. That suffering is horrendous and shouldn't be minimized. However, what is unconscionable are the manufactured images and video from Gaza.
What's especially concerning is that we, as consumers of this media, tend to accept these without questioning their authenticity.
For instance, consider this video depicting a mass casualty event. People are running around and tending to the injured, but what's notably absent are dirty hands. The individuals who are supposed to be helping have no blood on their hands, even though the injured should be massively bleeding. Moreover, the ostensibly injured on the ground don’t have the horrific and expected injuries associated with a missile attack. https://lnkd.in/e2Fbed4W
Similarly, the standard footage that we see over and over of people sifting through the rubble after every bombing raises problematic questions. Most of these individuals have relatively clean hands and clothing, as if they've miraculously emerged unscathed for the camera. This is in stark contrast to the aftermath of the Twin Towers collapse, where people were covered from head to toe in dust. ttps://https://lnkd.in/eDiJ7xip
And why are they sifting through rubble? The Gaza Ministry of Health has already reported the exact death toll long ago.
In another propaganda video, a woman is seen running through an extraordinarily clean hospital, with bystanders observing her as if cheering on a cyclist in the Tour de France. A horde of medical professionals with pristine hands are attending to her, in seeming absence of any other patients in need of care. https://lnkd.in/ecjqNTKb
It's possible that an intrepid Pallywood director may come across this blog an decide to improve their propaganda. But why would they? The world seems all too willing to accept these fabricated images without requiring any additional effort or scrutiny.
We need to be better consumers of the news. Calling out fabrications when we see them!
Hamas claimed Israel attacked a school for girls in Jebalia.
it looks that the girls in Jebalia are bearded and muscular.
Hamas is using the schools as military sites.
there will be no immunity for terrorists wherever they are.
Hamas is ISIS.
עוד גיבור ישראל נפל. יהי זכרו ברוך. ה' ינקום דמיו.
