> this is an Israeli initiative

The source shows an Israeli person. That doesn't make it an "Israel operation." It looks like the site of every small nonprofit I've ever seen.

Anything coming out of Israel is by definition Israeli. Add to that mandatory service and the stated partnerships with other Israel organizations. I don't see how arguing semantics is adding anything here.

I heavily doubt that if the author would be from Spain, that you would call it an Spanish operation with the same undertones.

If it was generative ai being used to slander the people Spain was committing a genocide against, absolutely. Imagine if they had generative AI during the genocide of the Americas and the Spanish were using it to fabricate false sexual assault claims against conquistadors. Exact same situation.

I somehow doubt it. They didn't need to invent the sexual assault crimes against the former IOC chief that first came up with the genocide accusations.

I mean they absolutely did need to invent those, not that it has any bearing on the genocide.

I noticed people like to change the definition of genocide. Because the common understanding just blatantly doesn't fit the situation in any real sense.

It's a genocide, the most well documented in all of history.

Nah, only if you change the definition and only if Qatar protects the judge. Also, Israel was attacked. Quite well documented, "historically". Wouldn't be the first time...
