Ben Gvir's Calculated Cruelty: The Politics of Starvation in Israel's Elections Itamar Ben Gvir, a far right Israeli minister, has used technology to promote his harsh treatment of Palestinians ahead of October's elections.
A campaign video posted by Ben Gvir shows an AI generated image of a starving Palestinian prisoner. The use of artificial intelligence is notable for its ability to manipulate public opinion.
By presenting a seemingly authentic image of a malnourished detainee, Ben Gvir's campaign taps into deep seated fears and prejudices that have long plagued Israeli politics.
