‘A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza

Permissive airstrikes on non-military targets and the use of an artificial intelligence system have enabled the Israeli army to carry out its deadliest war on Gaza

Source

It's a lengthy article but definitely worth the read as it gives some good insight to what thought processes Israeli is employing and it's chilling.

The Israeli army’s expanded authorization for bombing non-military targets, the loosening of constraints regarding expected civilian casualties, and the use of an artificial intelligence system to generate more potential targets than ever before, appear to have contributed to the destructive nature of the initial stages of Israel’s current war on the Gaza Strip

Apparently the next generation of warfare will use an unethical AI that uses calculations rather than morality to predict bombing strategies.

Here's where the information is coming from.

Local Call is based on conversations with seven current and former members of Israel’s intelligence community — including military intelligence and air force personnel who were involved in Israeli operations in the besieged Strip

So we can't claim the source is "antisemitic"...

mainly intended to harm Palestinian civil society: to “create a shock” that, among other things, will reverberate powerfully and “lead civilians to put pressure on Hamas,” as one source put it.

This is a clear indication Israeli and the IDF are using collective punishment to pressure the people of Gaza to turn on Hamas. Which by definition is a war crime not that dissimilar to what happened in Dresden
There seemes to be a failure to realize that every sister and mother killed by indiscriminate bombing creates 5 more young men willingto fight against the people and systems who destroyed their lives.

Expecting otherwise is disingenuous.

This number is calculated and known in advance to the army’s intelligence units, who also know shortly before carrying out an attack roughly how many civilians are certain to be killed.

So much for Israel being "unaware" of potential collateral damage.

In one case discussed by the sources, the Israeli military command knowingly approved the killing of hundreds of Palestinian civilians in an attempt to assassinate a single top Hamas military commander.

The refugee camp where one Hamas leader was suspected to be, and Israeli isn't even sure they got him.

Numbers before the system that tracks the dead broke down on November 15th.

14,800 Palestinians in Gaza; approximately 6,000 of them were children and 4,000 were women, who together constitute more than 67 percent of the total.

These numbers are even harder to stomach knowing Israeli is fully aware of the women and children casualties before hand...

There is no justification to what happened on October 7th but it's intellectually dishonest to ignore what has happened since and prior to that day. Israeli had the opportunity to gain support from the globe includes the middle east in solidarity much like that was extended to America after 9/11. Instead they choose to collectively punish millions of people. A people who have have to endure an inhumane level of treatment.

During a blockade imposed on the Palestinian territory between 2007 and mid-2010, Israel calculated the daily calorie needs of Gazans to avoid malnutrition. The calculation was based on a person's average requirement of 2,300 calories a day and included adjustments for local farm products and an assessment of the kinds of food imports needed to sustain the population.

How anyone can support a system that does this to women and children is beyond me...

After the hack it's become increasingly time consuming and frustrating to post with most of the hyperlinks STILL broken. Combined with the obvious zionist lobby stooges compromising this once great site it's become more of an echo chamber than a place for critical thinkers to express different opinions. That said I'll probably still participate occasionally, but I won't really care if I get banned anymore...

FAFO

That little terror stunt that killed 3 more Israelis isn’t helping, nor is continuing to hold those hostages.

They’re getting exactly what is deserved.

What do you think is happening in Ukraine why is it different not Jewish ?

I used this in another thread, but it’s to the point.

So Palestinians need to denounce Oct 7th. Then overthrow Hamas that officially sanctioned the targeting/murdering/torturing/rape/kidnaping/ hostage taking, return the hostages. Stop launching rockets in the thousands into Israel. Make it about living in peace. Not a fight to the end where it’s either us or them.

left leaning fish wrapper using strong emotionally loaded words and phrases complete with staged, edited or AI generated image.

ranks up there along with Haaretz, which is memory serves one if not two of their editors cheif and deputy use to work for Haaretz. plus 927 has taken grants from the rockefeller brothers fund who are very well known to give money to antiIsrael groups.
