Q & A

What is the main claim made by Israel and its defenders regarding the IDF's actions in Gaza?

Israel and its defenders claim that the IDF has followed the rules of war in their assault on Gaza, focusing on Hamas and not targeting civilians. They argue that any civilian deaths are either the fault of Hamas for operating within the civilian population or regrettable mistakes.

What does the report from 972 magazine suggest about the IDF's claims?

The report from 972 magazine contradicts the claims made by Israel and its defenders, stating that the IDF's actions have not been in accordance with the rules of war and that their tactics have intentionally targeted civilians, indicating a war on humanity.

What is the 'Lavender' AI targeting system developed by Israel?

Lavender is an AI targeting system developed by Israel that has been used to generate around 37,000 targets in Gaza. The system analyzes data collected through mass surveillance to determine the likelihood that an individual may be a member of Hamas or other militant groups.

What was the known error rate of the human targets generated by the Lavender algorithm?

The known error rate of the human targets generated by the Lavender algorithm was about 10%, meaning that a significant number of the targets may have been incorrectly identified.

How were targets selected for assassination from the Lavender list?

The targets for assassination from the Lavender list were selected with minimal human checking. Soldiers were instructed to consider the faulty AI-generated target lists as orders, and little was done to verify the accuracy of these targets.

What was the 'Where's Daddy' software used for?

The 'Where's Daddy' software was used to target the private homes of militants when they were at home with their families and surrounded by other civilians. This approach was intended to increase the likelihood of killing the targeted militants.

What was the official policy regarding collateral damage?

The IDF authorized extraordinary levels of collateral damage, officially allowing for the death of 20 civilians per low-level Hamas fighter and 100 civilians for higher-level commanders. In practice, collateral damage ratios could be even higher.

How did the IDF's actions in Gaza compare to the US's approach during the war on terror?

The IDF's actions in Gaza involved systematically targeting civilians and using imprecise weapons that could cause widespread damage, whereas the US during the war on terror operated at an acceptable collateral damage level of zero, even when targeting high-profile figures like Osama Bin Laden.

What was the reported motive behind the IDF's tactics in Gaza?

The reported motive behind the IDF's tactics was not solely to eliminate Hamas but also an element of pure revenge, with a permissive policy regarding casualties and a focus on bombing homes and civilian infrastructure.

What are the potential implications of the use of AI-driven military technology like Lavender?

The use of AI-driven military technology like Lavender raises concerns about unchecked brutality, the dehumanization of targets, and the potential for widespread civilian casualties. It also opens a new era of potential horrors and war crimes facilitated by unaccountable technology.

What was the reported attitude of the IDF soldiers on the ground towards the orders they received?

The IDF soldiers on the ground were reportedly instructed to target every man of fighting age, regardless of whether they were combatants or civilians. This suggests a systematic approach to violence that was at odds with official rules of engagement.

🤖 AI Targeting and Civilian Casualties in Gaza

This paragraph discusses the claims made by Israel and its defenders regarding the conduct of the IDF in the assault on Gaza. It highlights a report from 972 magazine that disputes these claims, revealing the use of an AI targeting system called 'Lavender' which has generated 37,000 targets in Gaza. The system has a known error rate of 10%, yet minimal human verification is performed before individuals are targeted for assassination. The report also indicates that the IDF authorized high levels of collateral damage, with civilians being intentionally targeted through a software program called 'Where's Daddy'. This program identifies private homes of militants, leading to the targeting of entire families, not just the militants themselves.

05:01

🔫 Ground Soldiers' Orders and Civilian Targeting

The second paragraph focuses on the orders given to ground soldiers and the implications of these orders on civilian casualties. It references reporting by Axios journalist Barack Ravid, a former IDF soldier, who stated that soldiers were instructed to kill every man of fighting age. This approach disregards the rules of engagement and has led to the arbitrary generation of kill lists based on AI-determined ratings of likelihood of being a Hamas militant. The paragraph also discusses the IDF's strategy of targeting known residences, leading to the killing of entire families, and contrasts this with the IDF's public statements about not targeting civilians.

10:02

💥 Civilian Casualties and Revenge Motives

The final paragraph examines the broader implications of the IDF's actions in Gaza, suggesting that the motives behind the targeting of civilians and infrastructure extend beyond military strategy and into the realm of revenge. It compares Israel's approach to that of the US in the war on terror, highlighting the stark differences in acceptable collateral damage. The paragraph also discusses the use of non-precision bombs, which can lead to widespread destruction and civilian casualties, and the normalization of targeting entire families. The conclusion drawn is that Israel's actions in Gaza have introduced new horrors and unchecked brutality, with AI-driven military technology facilitating a dangerous shift in warfare.

Keywords

💡IDF

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is the military organization responsible for the defense of the State of Israel, its territories, and its exclusive economic zone. In the context of the video, the IDF is accused of not following the rules of war during their operations in Gaza, with claims that they have intentionally targeted civilians and used AI-driven military technology to generate targets, leading to high rates of civilian casualties.

💡Gaza

Gaza is a Palestinian territory located on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the most densely populated areas in the world and has been a site of ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinian groups, such as Hamas. The video focuses on the impact of the IDF's operations in Gaza, particularly the use of AI-driven targeting systems and the resulting civilian casualties.

💡AI targeting

AI targeting refers to the use of artificial intelligence algorithms to identify, analyze, and select targets for military operations. In the video, it is suggested that the IDF has developed an AI system called 'Lavender' to generate targets in Gaza, which has contributed to a high number of civilian deaths due to its inaccuracy and lack of human verification.

💡Civilian casualties

Civilian casualties refer to the unintentional or intentional killing or injury of non-combatants during military operations. The video emphasizes the high number of civilian casualties resulting from the IDF's operations in Gaza, suggesting that these were not merely collateral damage but rather the result of intentional targeting and flawed AI-driven systems.

💡Collateral damage

Collateral damage is the unintentional harm to civilians or civilian property that occurs as a consequence of military operations. In the context of the video, collateral damage is a significant concern as it is suggested that the IDF authorized extraordinary levels of collateral damage, indicating a disregard for the well-being of civilians in Gaza during their operations.

💡Revenge

Revenge is the act of retaliating against someone in response to a perceived wrong or harm done. In the video, it is suggested that the motive behind the IDF's operations in Gaza was not solely to eliminate Hamas but also an element of revenge, leading to a permissive policy regarding casualties and a disregard for the rules of war.

💡Mass surveillance

Mass surveillance is the widespread, systematic, and intrusive collection of personal data from a large number of people, often without their knowledge or consent. In the video, it is mentioned that the 'Lavender' AI system used mass surveillance data collected on every Palestinian in Gaza to analyze the likelihood of them being associated with Hamas, contributing to the creation of kill lists.

💡Human shields

Human shields are non-combatants who are intentionally placed near military objectives or personnel to deter enemy attacks. In the video, it is argued that the IDF's claims of avoiding civilian casualties by blaming Hamas for using human shields is contradicted by their intentional targeting of civilians and use of AI systems that do not verify the presence of militants before launching attacks.

💡Dumb bombs

Dumb bombs are unguided bombs that cannot be steered to a specific target after release. They are less precise than smart bombs or precision-guided munitions and can cause more collateral damage. In the video, the IDF's use of dumb bombs in densely populated areas like refugee camps is criticized for leading to high civilian casualties and destruction of civilian infrastructure.

💡Proportionality

Proportionality in military operations refers to the principle that the harm caused to civilians and civilian property should not be excessive in relation to the military advantage gained. The video argues that the IDF has disregarded this principle by authorizing high levels of civilian casualties and destruction of civilian infrastructure in their operations in Gaza.

💡International humanitarian law

International humanitarian law (IHL) is a set of rules that seek to protect individuals who are not participating in hostilities and to restrict the means and methods of warfare in order to reduce the suffering and destruction caused by armed conflict. The video suggests that the IDF's actions in Gaza, including the use of AI-driven targeting systems and intentional targeting of civilians, violate IHL principles.

Highlights

A new report from plus 972 magazine disproves claims of the IDF's morality and precision in targeting.

The report suggests intentionality behind the war on humanity,质疑 the ratio of civilian to militant deaths.

Details of Israeli algorithmic targeting system 'Lavender' revealed, which generated 37,000 targets in Gaza.

Lavender's targets had a known error rate of about 10%, yet received minimal human checking before assassination.

The IDF authorized high collateral damage, officially 20 civilians per junior Hamas fighter and 100 civilians for higher-level commanders.

The motive behind the operation was described as pure revenge, rather than eliminating Hamas.

Israel intentionally targeted civilians using a software program called 'Where's Daddy', aiming at private homes of militants.

The use of 'Where's Daddy' resulted in the targeting of homes with families present, often leading to civilian casualties.

Lavender uses mass surveillance data to analyze the likelihood of an individual being Hamas, assigning a rating from 1 to 100.

Attributes used by the algorithm to identify potential militants include being in the wrong WhatsApp group or changing addresses frequently.

The process of verification for targets was extremely brief, with a focus solely on confirming the target's gender.

Reports suggest that the orders given to soldiers on the ground were to 'shoot every man', regardless of combatant status.

The generation of kill lists was arbitrary, based on human judgments of what rating level signifies Hamas affiliation.

The IDF targeted individuals at their residences, often resulting in the killing of their families.

The IDF used 'dumb bombs' to target low-level possible soldiers, leading to higher civilian casualties and infrastructure damage.

The operation's collateral damage levels were historically extraordinary, far exceeding official guidelines and accepted norms.

Israel and its Defenders swear that the

IDF has followed the rules of war in

their assault on Gaza that they aren't

on Hamas that any civilian deaths are

the fault of Hamas for operating within

the civilian population or at the very

worst regrettable mistakes such as in

the case of the seven World Central Aid

kitchen workers who were killed in that

series of three drone strikes the IDF

Israel's Defenders say is the most moral

army in the world a new shocking report

from plus 972 magazine definitively

disproves every single one of these

claims of course anyone paying attention

was fully disabused of these Notions

long ago the ratio of Civilian to

militant deaths alone is sufficient to

prove that this war on Humanity has been

intentional but plus 972 once again has

provided invaluable insight into the

exact mechanisms of the horror they

reveal for the first time the details of

how Israeli algorithmic targeting

supercharged a Slaughter and critically

how the very human decision made in this

assault and desire for total Revenge

have fueled Annihilation and genocide

now I urge you to read the entirety of

yval Abraham's collaboration with local

call for 972 magazine titled lavender

the AI machine directing Israel's

bombing spree in Gaza I'm going to

summarize the most significant findings

but I believe this will be one of the

defining journalistic pieces of this

entire Onslaught every detail of this

report really matters so please if you

have the time take a look so here are

some of the top line findings of that

report first of all Israel has developed

an AI targeting system called lavender

which has been used to generate some

37,000 Targets in Gaza second those

human targets generated by the algorithm

were imprecise with a known error rate

of about 10% in spite of this High error

rate next to no human checking was

performed before targeting individuals

on the lavender list for assassination

IDE of soldiers were to consider these

faulty AI Target lists of alleged

authorized extraordinary levels of

collateral damage officially 20

civilians per Junior homas fighter and

100 civilans for higher level commanders

in practice though collateral damage

ratios could be even higher the motive

according to the sources was not to

eliminate Hamas it was pure and simple

Revenge fourth contra to claims about

avoiding civilian casualties Israel

intentionally targeted civilians through

use of a software program called where's

Daddy which was used to Target the

private homes of militants when they

were at home with their families and

surrounded by other civilians little was

done to make sure the alleged militant

was even actually killed and not just

his family members now those are the

Topline findings but it is well worth

digging into the some of the stomach

turning details here Gau has become a

testing ground for dystopian AI driven

military Tech which is plunging all of

us into a new era of Horrors and

unchecked barbarism 972 had previously

reported on an AI system called The

Gospel which generates infrastructure

targets with a focus on so-called power

targets these are large centers of

civilian life like high-rise apartment

buildings which were destroyed in order

to demoralize and terrorize the civilian

population drone equipped robot docks

are also increasingly wandering

throughout the rubble in Gaza thanks to

new developments from the Pentagon and

US military contractors and we can now

add to this list of killer Tech lavender

which generates tens of thousands of

human targets and operating hand and

glove with lavender is where's Daddy

software which targets those placed on

the lavender kill list for assassination

while they are at their homes with their

families where's Daddy get it for the

IDF when daddy's home it means it's time

to murder every man woman and child who

happens to be in the vicinity now

lavender uses the data collected through

Mass surveillance of every Palestinian

in Gaza to analyze the likelihood that

they may be Hamas based on a list of

identified attributes every gazin is

given a rating of 1 to 100 as to how

likely they are to be a militant the

algorithm is programmed with hundreds of

thousands of attributes which are

considered to be suggestive of Hamas or

other militant membership some

attributes identified in the piece

include being the wrong WhatsApp group

or changing addresses too often now if

you are clocked with too many

incriminating features as identif ified

by lavender then you'll be placed on a

kill list and marked for IDF

assassination with next to no human

verification according to a 972 Source

quote a human being had to verify the

target for just a few seconds B said at

first we did checks to ensure that the

machine didn't get confused but at some

point we relied on the automatic system

and we only checked that the target was

a man that was enough doesn't take a

long time to tell if someone has a male

or female voice this is assumption that

all men are Hamas has been backed up in

recent Days by the stunning reporting of

axio reporter Barack Ravid now himself a

former IDF Soldier Ravid told Anderson

Cooper that on the ground soldiers were

simply told to murder every man this

incident shouldn't come as a surprise

you know you remember that just a few

weeks ago three Israeli hostages that

managed to escape their captors were

killed by Israeli soldiers who who fired

at them even though they were uh holding

uh a white flag okay and you know I

spoke to um an Israeli Reserve officer

who was in the same unit of those

soldiers who shot those hostages and I

remember him telling me that the orders

are basically from the commanders on the

ground is just shoot every man in

fighting age those are the orders but

those are but that's not the Rules of

Engagement that is coming from the IDF

leadership but on the ground that's what

they're being told the orders are shoot

Every Man a fighting age so obviously if

you're a man in Gaza whether or not your

name is Bat Out by lavender can quickly

become a matter of life and death and

yet the generation of these kill list

was arbitrary based on entirely human

judgments about what rating level was

sufficient to justify conclusion that

you are very likely Hamas is a 65 rating

out of 100 in lavender's AI

determination of Hamas likee attributes

sufficient to Mark you out specifically

for death does a 78 make you Hamas a 92

the answer apparently differed at

different times during the war parade

972 Source quote the numbers changed all

the time because it depends on where you

set the bar of what a Hamas operative is

there were times when a Hamas operative

was defined more broadly and then the

machine started bringing us all kinds of

civil defense Personnel police officers

on whom it would be a shame to waste

moms they help the Hamas government but

they don't really endanger soldiers now

of course you have to appreciate the

concern here for the rationing of bombs

not for the human being beings that are

being killed let's put that aside so

once you've got your lavender created

kill list you got to actually figure out

how to get these guys finding Hamas in a

battle space can be difficult and risky

but what's quick and easy is killing

them at their known residences when they

go back home to their wife and kids now

I want you to imagine for a second that

a foreign military or terrorist group

was targeting our soldiers on mass when

they were at home in their private

residences wanly slaughtering mothers

and children for the sake of taking out

some Anonymous Army private this is the

equivalent of what the IDF is doing in

Gaza per 972 sources say quote we were

not interested in killing Hamas

operatives only when they were in a

military building or engaged in military

activity on the contrary the idea of

bomb them in homes without hesitation as

a first option it's much easier to bomb

a family's home the system is built to

look for them in these situations now

contrast this to the language we hear

about how the IDF does not Target

civilians it's just Hamas with those

darn human Shields here we have

confirmation that the IDF does in fact

Target civilians by choosing as their

first resort to bomb private homes full

of women and children it didn't even

particularly matter whether the alleged

lavender killis militant was there at

the time because the IDF didn't verify

that the target was home when the bomb

dropped in plenty of instances the

target had actually left and the IDF

just murdered the family for no apparent

reason because of this where's Daddy

strategy entire families have been

routinely annihilated every name on

every branch of the family tree killed

this Embrace of Civilian SL was not

halfhazard it was systematized in Gaza

the IDF authorized acceptable collateral

damage levels that were historically

extraordinary any old low-level Hamas

Rank and filer could be killed along

with 20 civilians in practice it could

be even higher because the IDF used rule

of thumb guesswork to determine how many

people might be killed and because they

preferred to use so-called dumb bombs to

take out these low-level possible

Soldiers the IDF did not want to waste

expensive Precision guided Munitions on

inconsequential Hamas peons dumb bombs

may take out a few houses instead of one

or collapse an entire apartment building

instead of having the capability to just

Target a single floor as one source told

972 quote in practice the principle of

proportionality did not exist when it

came to senior commanders Official

Guidelines allowed for a hundred

civilians to be killed in connection

with their assassination but here too

the reality was that even higher

civilian massacres were accepted per 972

in order to assassinate aan noal the

commander of hamas's central Gaza

Brigade a source said the Army

authorized the killing of approximately

300 civilians destroying several

buildings in air strikes on Alber

refugee camp on October 17th based on an

imprecise pinpointing of nafal between

16 to 18 houses were wiped out in the

attack Amar ALB a resident of the camp

told 972 in local call we couldn't tell

one apartment from the other they all

got mixed up in the rubble and we found

human body parts everywhere so for

comparison here the US during the war on

terror typically operated at a

non-combatant casualty value or ncv the

official term for acceptable collateral

damage of zero even when targeting Osama

Bin Laden himself the ncv was 30 in

actual execution of the bin Laden raid

Seal Team 6 killed three Bin Laden sons

and one woman now I am not arguing the

US was a paragon of virtuous War

fighting and avoided civilian casualties

in the war on terror but there is no

comparison between Israel routinely

dropping 2,000lb bunker Buster bombs on

crowded refugee camps to maybe take out

a single person and the high-risk

operation which we use to kill Osama Bin

Laden so let's put the pieces together

here if you classify every military AED

man as a combatant and you classify

every one of his family members as

acceptable collateral damage you have

effectively turned an entire population

into legitimate military targets the

tech is scary but the humans making

those decisions driving the tech they

are terrifying you can see the same

logic in the official ID of explanation

for why they targeted the world Central

Kitchen Aid Convoy just as with lavender

all it took was the possible presence of

one fighting age male with a gun for

every one of those Aid workers to be

marked for assassination there's a

reason for this though multiple sources

made it clear to 972 that in plenty of

instances the real goal was not hunting

some Hamas Commander or another was

Revenge per 972 quote there was a

completely permissive policy reg

regarding the casualties of bombing

operations so permissive that in my

opinion it had an element of Revenge D

an intelligent Source claimed a also

used the word Revenge to describe the

atmosphere inside the Army after October

7th quote no one thought about what to

do afterward when the war is over or how

it would be possible to live in Gaza and

what they will do with it as said we

were told now we have to f up Hamas no

matter what the cost whatever you can

you bomb whatever you can you bomb

there's no turning back from these

things from the AI generated kill list

based on mass surveillance to the

normalization of murdering whole

families to possibly get one rank and

file Soldier to Revenge fuel destruction

of every possible piece of Civilian

infrastructure Israel's actions in Gaza

have opened Pandora's box for new

previously unimaginable Horrors

unchecked BR brutality with Unleashed
