Politics Can Israel's Instagram account stop with the rampant AI use?

• Upvotes

The official Instagram account for Israel just featured a showcase of Israeli food where every single image was AI-generated. Now, I've been to Israel, and know from experience that you guys make great food. But everyone else on Instagram will now assume that the food in Israel is terrible, because they didn't have any actual pictures to show, and generative AI is synonymous with lying. Israel's social media team took what should have been a celebration of their culture and humiliated themselves with it.

I don't know if any of you have connections with the Israeli government's social media team, but could you please tell them to knock it the fuck off? As a diaspora Jew, this is getting embarrassing.

Ask The Sub Do people genuinely believe all the shit they spew about Israel/Israel's involvement in everything?

31 Upvotes

Lately, in an effort to improve my understanding of US politics, as well as my awful spoken English, I've been watching a lot of American political commentators. I picked out a bunch of random ones from all different perspectives, Sean Hannity, Bill Maher, Tucker Carlson, TYT, Megyn Kelly, even Candace Owens for a bit. Big mistake.

While some of them were very levelheaded on Israel-Palestine, (Bill Maher for instance), most of the rest are convinced that Israel is the antichrist or something. Just a few things I heard commentators accuse Israel of include:

9/11.

Killing Charlie Kirk.

Baltimore Bridge Collapse.

Rewriting the New Testament.

Claiming Israeli Jews are part of a blood cult.

Having actually killed hundreds of thousands in Gaza.

Controlling the US government and making them an Israeli satellite.

Blackmailing the US into going to war with Iran for Israel.

And of course, who can forget the timeless classic, accusing Israel of committing 'genocide' in Gaza.

My question is do they actually believe this garbage? do the people that follow them believe it? or are they literally just doing this for clicks? it just seems so bizarre to me to believe that Israel is behind these things. 9/11? really? they are the only other country in the world to have a shrine with all the names of the victims on it. Sorry about the rant, but I really am asking.

History📚 On this day in 2024, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, mastermind of the October 7 massacre, was finally eliminated. After dragging Gaza into war and hiding in tunnels, he died near Egypt with cash and reportedly another man's passport, possibly trying to flee and further abandon his people. NSFW Spoiler

Ask The Sub Was the 2005 withdrawal from Gaza intended as the first step towards a 2SS?

16 Upvotes

It would seem Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza could have been the road towards a better path forward for the country and the Palestinians. If Hamas hadn’t been elected as their government and a more cooperative entity had instead, a spirit of partnership snd trust might have been created and a road towards resolving the conflict might have occurred.

Why else would the withdrawal have taken place?

Some 80 settlers, many of them masked and some of them carrying gas canisters, descended from a hill to the terraced olive grove where villagers from Abu Falah had gathered to pick ripe fruit, witnesses said.

Some of them used slings to launch rocks toward Palestinian villagers, who descended toward the bottom of the hill before they began to throw rocks back at the settlers, witnesses said.

Palestinian media outlets reported that the Palestinian Red Crescent treated a 63-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man who sustained injuries from beatings by settlers.

The injured woman was Heidi Levine, a photojournalist who works for The Washington Post and has reported on conflicts around the world.

Four observations about Israelis

123 Upvotes

I am an Israeli who spent a large amount of my life in America, some time in Europe, and presently living back in Israel, I've noticed a few things about Israelis that really stand out to me.

1. Israelis are unusually attractive.

Both men and women. I don't know exactly how to explain it, but Israelis are a remarkably good-looking people. Whatever causes is, it's very noticeable. This is something that significantly sticks out of me about this country. Tel Aviv is like a city of supermodels, but this unusual beauty can be found everywhere.

2. Israelis have an extraordinary number of children.

Coming from America and Europe, one of the most striking things about Israel is just how many children there are. They're everywhere. One parent being followed down the street with four or five children doesn't seem particularly unusual here.

In much of the developed world, children are increasingly treated as an economic burden or a lifestyle sacrifice. In Israel, having children still feels like a fundamental part of what life is about.

There's something optimistic about a society that keeps bringing new life into the world, particularly one that has experienced so much adversity.

3. Israelis are deeply spiritual.

Even secular Israelis often have a spiritual dimension that I rarely encountered in America or Europe.

Religion, tradition, identity, and questions of collective destiny are woven into everyday life. People might reject organized religion while still feeling an intense connection to Jewish history, the Land of Israel, and ultimately to something greater than themselves.

Israel is a country where even atheists can feel remarkably religious.

4. Israelis fundamentally misunderstand Diaspora Jews.

I think many Israelis don't appreciate just how much Diaspora Jews look up to them.

I have oftentimes encounter an Israeli perception that Diaspora Jews are disconnected, comfortable, or simply don't understand what it means to live here. There is a wide belief that the Diaspora is even adversarial and totally abandoned the Jewish state.

But having grown up in the Diaspora, I can tell you that many Jews abroad look at Israelis with genuine admiration. They admire their courage and willingness to defend our collective future.

Many Diaspora Jews grow up seeing Israel as the center of the Jewish world and Israelis as the people actually living Jewish history.

Of course, Diaspora Jews don't always understand Israelis either. And admiration doesn't mean agreement with everything Israel does.

But I think Israelis would be surprised by just how many Jews around the world see them as an example to aspire to and support them.

My general thought is the things Israelis take for granted are frequently the very things that make Israel so remarkable to those of us who know the world outside of this country.

Politics When nature conservation become a colonial crime: how Israel-hate hijacked environmntal sciences

111 Upvotes

When nature conservation becomes a colonial crime: how Israel-hate hijacked environmntal sciences,
by Zsuzsanna Ujj, fathom, 2026-10.

 

Zsuzsanna Ujj maps how in certain segments of academia, Israel’s nature conservation efforts and measures to comply international environmental law are presented as green dispossession. The reintroduction of locally extinct native species is reframed as a hostile act, in which the Persian fallow deer is deployed as an ‘agent of normalization,’ used by the state to advance a ‘colonial conservation project.’

 

Environmental protection has long operated on a shared, global consensus: that safeguarding endangered habitats and species is an objective scientific good. Yet a quiet shift within Western academic literature is subverting this empirical foundation, turning the hard sciences of ecology, biodiversity conservation, as well as climate change mitigation and adaptation into an ideological weapon.

Academic antizionism has built three pillars that sustain its ideology: settler-colonialism as the main framework to understand environmental problems, denying the indigeneity of Jews in Palestine, and a romanticised picture of Indigenous Peoples.

Reputable scientific journals publish academic articles, where routine ecological management is no longer evaluated through biodiversity metrics, compliance with legal obligations, or resource sustainability; instead, it is systematically recast as an instrument of ‘green dispossession,’ ‘ecocide,’ and ‘colonial violence,’ particularly when taking place in Israel.

Ask The Sub For the purposes of future ties, does the winner of the Sudan War matter as much as the one in Libya?

3 Upvotes

Hello! So many people are of the mindset that if the LNA were to win the Libyan civil war, they could potentially join the Abraham Accords. I won't comment on that, as I do not know enough to do so. Now we can argue about the importance of the Accords and all day, but this is purely hypothetical. My question to everyone is how much does the war in sudan matter for the purposes of expanding the Accords? obviously, Sudan was already primed to join, but then the war broke out. I ask because the UAE sponsors the RSF, but the SAF is the internationally recognized government. I am not caught up on Sudan or Libya, so please enlighten me! Thanks!

Edit: Also, I don't know if this matters, but let me know if Sudan actually matters more than Libya. Forgot to put it in my intro.
