Israel has deployed a mass facial recognition program in the Gaza Strip, creating a database of Palestinians without their knowledge or consent, The New York Times reports. The program, which was created after the October 7th attacks, uses technology from Google Photos as well as a custom tool built by the Tel Aviv-based company Corsight to identify people affiliated with Hamas.

It will be in Israel soon too. Netanyahu is using this genocide to cement a dictatorship by claiming it's all necessary to fight the war, but it's not really believed that he'll take his special war powers away from himself once it's over. He's already tried to destroy the judiciary. Make no mistake, genocide is not the only way he's taking pages out of Hitler's playbook.

And thanks to the us in the states he is being well to do so. We need make it clear that we want all aid to Israel to stop. No more weapons or money.

Biden is in a real bind, because he needs the pro-Israel vote too. It's a tightrope walk. I don't think he's handled it well at all, but I can see why they haven't totally cut off Israel.

Can confirm. I don't want to vote for the Orange Man but I will if Biden stops supporting Israel.

How does it feel to be a literal Nazi? I know Nazi doesn't mean anything anymore generally, its value as an insult has diminished to uselessness from over and aimless use, but you. You are literally in favor of genocide and unembarrassed about it, and pushing a "Reichstag fire" narrative. There's a very large number of dead jews spinning in their ash piles over this.

You do realize that the orange man is an even bigger supporter of Israel than Biden, right? Trump would not just support Netanyahu, he would back Israel annexing Gaza and making it a permanent part of Israel.
