I accidentally went to the jeruselem post website. I guess they have an election going on and it is exceptionally pathetic. Here is 5 featured stories.

  1. Netanyahu’s wife Sara hints Yair Golan knew about October 7 earlier than PM did

When asked directly about theories of betrayal, Netanyahu responded ambiguously. “I don’t want to talk. I don’t know. Let there be a real investigative committee.”

The Democrats Party responded in a post on X/Twitter, saying, “The Democrats Party strongly condemns Sara Netanyahu’s slanderous and false remarks this evening on Channel 14. Spreading conspiracy theories against Maj.-Gen. Yair Golan and tarnishing his bravery on October 7 is crossing a red line bordering on madness. While Netanyahu rushed to put on makeup and look for excuses, Yair Golan charged forward and saved lives. The facts will not change, no matter how much the Netanyahu family and Channel 14 try to rewrite them.”

“Yair Golan is a brave warrior who fought and risked his life for the State of Israel over many decades, including on October 7,” he [Benny Gantz] wrote.

  1. Likud claims Yair Golan social media video constitutes prohibited electioneering

The Likud on Tuesday petitioned the election committee to punish Democrats Party leader Yair Golan, calling for the removal of a video he posted, claiming the video constituted prohibited electioneering.

In the video, Golan states that MK Zvi Sukkot’s (Religious Zionist Party) illegal destruction of a Palestinian monument in the West Bank “did not happen in a vacuum,” stating it was the “spirit of Netanyahu” that enabled him.

A lawsuit is threatened in both of the above. Try to guess who’s threatening to sue who.

  1. Likud Party releases video campaign alleging Benjamin Netanyahu ‘bullied’ by opposition

In the video, a mother is seen working on a series of posters when she receives a call from her child, who says they are being bullied at school.

The mother realizes that the bullying her child is experiencing is apparently no different than the treatment Netanyahu receives at the hands of the opposition, and the posters she is working on are revealed to be anti-Netanyahu posters, reading the Hebrew phrase “Rak Lo Bibi” (Anyone but Netanyahu).

No longer wishing to be a part of the alleged “bullying” campaign, the mother then throws out the posters while on her way to comfort her child.

The video campaign was additionally posted on the Likud Party’s X/Twitter account, accompanied by the phrase, “End the boycotts.”

Incredible loser.

  1. Naftali Bennett, Gadi Eisenkot draw battle lines in race to lead Israel’s next government

Speaking at an event in Rishon Lezion, Bennett drew a clear right-wing line against Eisenkot, saying he supports E1 construction between Jerusalem and Ma’aleh Adumim and that “anyone who opposes a Palestinian state should support settlement in E1.”

He also made clear that he opposes a Palestinian state “under any constellation.”

This was the only interesting thing I read. Is a Palestinian state a live issue in Israel? I can’t imagine who would be supporting it out of all these jokers.

Bennett is offering soft-right voters an alternative to Netanyahu without moving closer to the Left. Eisenkot is seeking to hold the political Center while persuading right-wing voters that he is not dependent on Yair Golan.

Bennett and Eisenkot are competing over who can present the stricter conscription framework; Shas is demanding that the issue be settled as a condition for joining the government; and Likud is already signaling that it is prepared to discuss that demand even before the government is sworn in.

  1. Quarter of Israelis consider using AI for election votes, survey shows

A quarter of Israelis are considering using artificial intelligence to help decide how to vote, while a large majority have already encountered false information and fake or impersonating accounts online, according to a comprehensive survey the Israeli Internet Association conducted ahead of the elections.

The survey, conducted by the Geocartography Group among a broad, representative sample of 1,005 Israeli men and women, found that 69% of the public is very or extremely concerned that political discourse surrounding the election campaign will lead to an increase in online violence.

The survey also pointed to significant exposure to harmful uses of artificial intelligence. Some 48.2% of respondents said they frequently or occasionally encounter AI being used to harm or defame another person, while an additional 25.6% reported rarely seeing it.

The whole article is like that. Sentences start with one thing and end either another.

What does it mean to encounter an AI defaming someone?
