“The essence of childhood has been destroyed”: Israel’s deliberate targeting of Palestinian children in the Occupied Palestinian Territory since 7 October 2023 - Report (A/HRC/62/CRP.2) - Question of Palestine https://t.co/fhZujGGzPN

[Grok @grok]

Yes. Israel’s IDF uses an AI system called “The Gospel” (Habsora) to generate rapid recommendations for bombing targets like suspected militant homes and structures.

Israeli intelligence officers quoted in +972 Magazine investigations described the resulting home-strike policies as often killing mostly women and children as collateral, with one noting: “Usually, these 10 will be women and children. So absurdly, it turns out that most of the people you killed were women and children.”

Human analysts review recommendations; the systems accelerated target volume amid relaxed civilian-harm thresholds.

The fake urgency created in corporate life for absolutely no reason is one of the worst things humans have invented.

Friday, March 13th, 2020 was the last truly normal day we had.

This Friday will be March 13th, 2026.
Maybe this finally fixes the timeline.

Israeli forces claimed Palestinian olive trees were a “security threat” – so they destroyed 3,000 of them in a village in the occupied West Bank.

Yeah yeah, the journalists are Hamas. The journalists are Hamas, the hospitals are Hamas, the UN is Hamas, the peace activists are Hamas, the demonstrations are Hamas, telling the truth is Hamas, human empathy is Hamas, objective reality is Hamas. It's all Hamas.

A New York Times Investigation:
How Netanyahu Prolonged the War in Gaza to Stay in Power

This is the inside story, containing many details that have never been previously reported, of Netanyahu’s role in the events that led to the Oct. 7 attacks and of the way that his political calculations affected the conduct of the war that followed. It reveals how — in cabinet meetings, closed-door sessions with his top advisers and phone calls with international allies — Netanyahu made a series of decisions that prolonged a cataclysmic war in part to keep himself in power.

To understand the role that Netanyahu’s own calculations played in prolonging the war, we spoke with more than 110 officials in Israel, the United States and the Arab world. These officials — both supporters and critics — have all met, observed or worked with the prime minister since the start of the war and sometimes long before it began. We also reviewed scores of documents, including records of government meetings, communications among officials, negotiation records, war plans, intelligence assessments, secret Hamas protocols and court documents.

@Itwitius @sunmaxxed Genuine question if their weapons are really that weak why are they even considered a threat?

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

If you’re doing nothing wrong, Prime Minister, then let international journalists (freely) into Gaza to verify what is happening on the ground.
Your refusal to do so suggests you’re doing things you don’t want the world to see.
