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.

Hamas wouldn't be necessary if they stopped treating Palestinians like animals.

A blockade exists to prevent Hamas from getting weapons. A fence exists to prevent Hamas from crossing the border and attacking Israelis. Unfortunately a fence and blockade wasn't enough to prevent this.

Israel isn't treating the Palestinians as animals. They are treating their psychopath leaders like psychopaths. These psychopaths will perpetuate this situation to make people like you think they are necessary. But what's actually necessary is removing these psychopaths from the equation so the weak minded can understand these "strongmen" that hide underground while the civilian population is at the mercy of an army they claim to be committing genocide aren't actually strongmen at all.

You've been lied to.
