It feels like it’s about power. Arson was wrong. Saeed is a real person just trying to survive in Gaza. In order to re-exert control or rationalize denying someone their humanity, Arson creates the first AI-generated video of Saeed that I’m aware of. And by doing that he dehumanizes Saeed again.

The pseudonymous account Rev. Howard Arson accused Saeed Ismail of being a fake, AI-generated person. After I wrote about how Saeed is real, Arson is now creating AI videos of Saeed and his blanket. I don’t know Arson’s goal with all of this, but it strikes me as incredibly cruel.

Case in point: the shooting in DC, and the Molotov cocktail attack in Colorado. Any attempt to speak honestly about these is treated as 1. Justification 2. Endorsement If you question whether it’s antisemitism (as opposed to political violence) you want to see Jews shot or burned in the streets.
