Machines do learn, apparently
An Israeli social media account run by an ‘AI bot’ designed to spread Israeli propaganda about Palestine has started accusing Israel of illegal colonisation, racism and genocide.
The so-called ‘FactFinderAI’ used artificial intelligence to promote Israel’s excuses and false claims during its genocide in Gaza has started attacking the Israeli government – and other ‘hasbara’ [pro-Israel propaganda] accounts set up to spread pro-Israel lines online and ‘counter the delegitimisation of Israel’ – and even the Zionist, now-former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
According to Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the account was one of a network intended to:
develop technological solutions for hasbara efforts, including a ‘platform’ for tracking and countering anti-Israeli content on social media.
After, presumably, some ‘machine learning’, FactFinderAI account even went so far as challenging Israel’s narrative on the 7 October 2023 raid – Israeli media has long admitted that many and perhaps most Israeli victims were killed by their own side – and described Israeli troops as:
white colonizers in apartheid Israel.
FactFinderAI.
And while originally attacking United Nations relief agency UNRWA – now banned by Israel – it then began praising UNRWA’s work and described Blinken as someone who:
will be remembered for their actions that have caused immense suffering and devastation in Gaza.
The Israeli government has spent huge amounts of money – probably subsidised by the US – on AI-driven ‘hasbara’ projects and accounts, money now seemingly well spent as it appears that machines do learn.

Any odds on who will be first to make an AS allegation?
……or, for that matter, before we begin to hear the first Official Narrative mutterings of it being hacked by the Chinese?
Nowt ‘artificial’ about it. I gotta say, I’m impressed!!
Sounds like it’s got a mind of its own! And a conscience!!
And more humanity than dehumanised Zionists & Western Lightweight Politicians.
It’s a fucking Antisemite
That you, maggot hodge?
Bugger. I had five quid on Luke Akehurst.
You must have money to burn 😋
Just trying to keep below the DHSS 16K ceiling for those of us benefit claimants receiving a state pension.
Off topic, but I came across this really good assessment of the Trump/Greenland situation a bit earlier when I did a search, posted three weeks ago:
What happens if Trump invades Greenland?
https://dcubrexitinstitute.eu/2025/01/what-happens-if-trump-invades-greenland/
And Jonathan Cook posted this excellent article yesterday:
Thirty years of Middle East lies just keep coming back to haunt us
https://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2025-01-30/gaza-middle-east-lies/
And whilst you’re on his website, check out the article he posted today (it’s listed under ‘website’ at the top of the page) entitled: ‘How the West hides its Gaza genocide guilt behind Holocaust Day remembrance’.
Nothing is what will happen if Trump decides to take Greenland. Apologies to Denmark, but they have a comedy club army. Those Piaggio three wheelers used for coffee etc? Danes use them for military purposes. They gave Greenland a few dog sleds incase the yanks come…
Only Russia and China are in a position to repel the yanks (and at what cost?). The artic is the future. Russia naturally has over half of it. The yanks are in last place. This is why annexing Canada is on the menu as well as Greenland.
Roll over to imperialism?
But politically the USA has lost its moral & intellectual leadership of the world, it started with the Iraq War (New Left Review) and Palestine finished them off.
WE the diverse working class of the world with our labour creates everything & WE make societies work.
We have the power in our hands, heads & POCKETS!
If the USA tries to take over Greenland, Canada & keeps arming the Occupation Force in Palestine, globally WE should boycott USA holidays & commodities.
Time to put Lumpen Trump in his Oligarch Mates back in the toy box!

It might have been 50+ years ago, but similar was said about Vietnam.
More recently, the afghans have seen off the two ‘superpowers’.
Come to think of it, I can’t remember a war the Yanks have won on their own. If thatcher had stood up to reagan (especially after the stance Reagan took over the Falkands) over Grenada it could well have been a different tale there.
And I posted the following on Tony Greenstein’s blog this morning, which is self-explanatory, except to say that I’m referring to a ‘poster’ of an International Holocaust Day Rememberance event, which Tony included, in passing, in his article:
I don’t have a facebook account, so I couldn’t read all of it, but when I did a search re the event that people were ‘cordially invited to attend’ and which says INDOCTRINATING HATRED OF JEWS, I came across the following post by the European Jewish Association, posted on January 26th:
This evening, we were informed that Israel’s Minister of Diaspora Affairs, Amichai Chikli, who was scheduled to attend a special event in Brussels co-organized by the EJA on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, to address the indoctrinated hatred of Jews, had to cancel his arrival due to concrete security concerns and threats to his safety.
The fact that in 2025, an Israeli minister was forced to cancel his visit to a Western European country for security reasons is more evidence than anything else that all the leaders’ “never again” declarations are hollow. This year, International Holocaust Remembrance Day is more regrettable than ever—the worst since the Holocaust.
To which somebody posted/responded
This is a blatant lie. Chikli, an extreme right wing fascist, didn’t come to Europe because he risked to be arrested
Maybe THAT is all it said, but that’s all I was able to see. Anyway, I then did a search to see how widely it was reported by the media and, as such, came across the following Jerusalem Post article from January 28th:
Chikli didn’t attend EU Holocaust event due to hostage family letter, not security issues – source
The source’s claims that the letter had led to the cancellation contradicted the official line that Chikli was advised by Israeli security services not to attend.
Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli canceled his attendance at a European Union Parliament International Holocaust Remembrance Day commemoration event in Brussels due to a letter from hostage family members urging MEPs to rescind the invitation, rather than security concerns or legal threats from anti-Israel organizations, a source familiar with the matter told The Jerusalem Post.
Chikli had been set to give a Tuesday address at the “Never Again? Indoctrinating Hatred of Jews: What has Changed in 80 years?” event hosted by MEPs Andrey Kovatchev and Lukas Mandl.
According to Haaretz, a letter to Kovatchev and Mandl, signed by 41 hostage family members and relatives of October 7 victims, and 32 European Jewish community leaders, stated that Chikli was unsuitable for the occasion….

I mean REALLY, what possible security concerns could there possibly be in respect of him attending an event – the event – in Brussels?! Absolutely none of course. Yep, the Israeli fascist leadership never miss an opportunity to cast themselves as the victims and Palestinians and their supporters as a threat, and dupe and mislead numerous people, as such.

NB All I wanted to say initially – given what it says about indoctrinating hatred of Jews – is that Israeli Jews are indoctrinated from an early age to hate Palestinians, but we rarely – if ever – hear about THAT of course.
