Israel is using AI to murder people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI-assisted_targeting_in_the_G...

It's not clear this is any different from just bombing random locations, but we're certainly already at the bad place. By the numbers Israel certainly seems incredibly bad at precision bombing, possibly the worst state ever to do it, for a state that is allegedly trying to.

You mean the best. Hamas have an explicit policy of using human shields. It's damn impressive to get so low number of casualties in such an environment.

It's more accurate to say that Hamas are members of the population that is being ethnically cleansed.

Saying Hamas uses human shields is like saying that the IDF uses human shields because they embed themselves into the civilian populations of Israel and of Washington, DC.

One of the recent strikes had a 1:400 ratio it seems. That is impressive, but in a very dark way.

Did people say the same thing about radar technology 80 years ago, though? a new tech that filters through data to infer a possible combatant location... seems like the same abstraction, to be honest.

80 years ago we were intentionally firebombing European civilian populations. I don't think it's a comparable situation. Israel has no justification for engaging in total war tactics (or rather, the justification is contemptible and holds no water).

The system names of “the Gospel” and “Lavender” I find very offensive as a Christian and they are very intentional. Orthodox Jews can be violently anti-Christian and will even spit on them to replicate the treatment of Jesus at his crucifixion, the naming is not coincidental, it’s to mock Christianity. The alliance between Zionists and Evangelicals is a very bizarre phenomenon.
