What a performance. Australian broadcasting has no idea what to do with artists like Mudrat. Genuinely surprised the video is still up. #FreePalestine

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

"Much of this material consisted of outright falsehoods – e.g. the widely circulated animation alleging that Hamas operated a command centre beneath Al-Shifa Hospital. No such facility was found, but it was used to destroy almost the entire healthcare system in Gaza" www.972mag.com/israeli-army...

Why are these people saying the same "AI is here to stay" line - George Miller's interview on the Guardian starts the same way. Fucking sucks.

I think it's silly for this to be controversial. Many of us anti zionist jews have stopped attending synagogues that support Israel for this very reason. Religious institutions aren't excluded from anti zionist action.

If you agree that Israel is committing genocide, you should loudly condemn organizations raising money for Israel. That includes churches and synagogues. Period.

I rang DFAT, seeking information about Dr Bianca Webb-Pullman, the doctor we interviewed a few weeks ago on The Shot from the Sumud Flotilla. Here's how that call went.

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

The shameful part is that Palestinians were always telling the world what's happening & were always getting killed by Zionists. But those deaths were not enough. It took a full blown genocide for most westerners to come around...and even now some people have the audacity to say "it's complicated"

Shocked to learn that the world’s preeminent transphobe is also a genocide apologist.
