A machine of artificial intelligence cannot distinguish between terrorists and civilians.
Consequently, based on this, the logic often used by the attacking side is introduced for “collateral damage”.
Israel, as reported in a series of publications, used the artificial intelligence system, “Lavender”, in the early days of the war for target identification.
And 37,000 targets were located.
The Israeli army denies relying on this program to define its bombing targets.
It insisted that it “does not use an artificial intelligence system to identify terrorists or try to predict if someone is a terrorist,” adding that “computer systems are simply tools for analysts in the target identification process.” In other words, a confirmation through denial.
The British Guardian, however, reported that “Lavender” was developed by the elite information unit of the IDF, Unit 8200. The newspaper states that the artificial intelligence system “Lavender” enabled Israeli officials to kill many Palestinians during the first months of the war.
In this way, through identification and strike, the occupying force has created a vast graveyard in Gaza.
More than 33,000 Palestinians have been killed.
The vast majority of the inhabitants have been displaced, and along with the houses, all infrastructures have been largely destroyed. Hospitals and other services. It is estimated that 26 million tonnes of rubble have been piled up. And beneath the heaps of rubble, the missing.
With hunger as a weapon, as Vice-President of the European Commission, Josep Borrell, characteristically stated, Israel is pressuring the population. It attempts to exterminate it. To force citizens to flee. Genocide and ethnic cleansing combined.
The international community is watching. Despite… Washington’s objections, the US continues to support Netanyahu’s devastating, annihilating war. They argue that the operations need to be more targeted.
And the United Nations? While UN officials denounce genocide and hunger, they tolerate the Secretary-General of the International Organisation, António Guterres, being insulted by Tel Aviv.
Whenever he voiced an opinion, made an appeal to stop the attacks, condemned Israeli violence, Mr. Guterres faced verbal attacks from Israel. And the European Union? It is actively engaged in posts on social media. And they consider it enough in Brussels.
With what we are witnessing in the region, it has been confirmed that the reflexes of the international community in Ukraine worked immediately.
In the case of Gaza, silence “fits” the vast graveyard caused by the occupying force. At the same time, Israeli forces have achieved another novelty. The murder of the seven workers of the World Center Kitchen. The seven were tasked with distributing food to Palestinians.
Food and aid, checked by the Israelis in Larnaca before being transported to Gaza, and had been given the green light for distribution.
The Israeli army had in front of it all geographic coordinates for the movement of vehicles on the coastal road of Rafah. Yet, they hit the vehicles.
And Netanyahu rushed to report that such incidents happen in times of war. Essentially, he referred to the logic of collateral damage.
It is obvious that for Israel and those who support it, it is convenient for Hamas to be everywhere. Convenient to name every target Hamas. Convenient that targets are identified by a machine.
They will say at some point that it is not the fault of the generals, not Netanyahu’s fault, but the machine that… confused the targets! Technology assists in genocides too. In 20 seconds from target identification, the “blind bomb” can strike.
To level a house, to kill a family. To kill many families, young children. And no one seems able to stop the war, the genocide.
