The AI War on 'Family Homes' in the Gaza Strip. Israel Defense Forces "Habsora", or "The Gospel", Uses Algorithms to Target Civilians for Two-Ton Bombs from the U.S.
Pull-quote--'what may seem random bombing is ... a covert Israeli system known as “Habsora” (The Gospel), which relies on Artificial Intelligence (AI).'
December 12, 2023
Last week, on Wednesday, December 6, journalist Janal Kanj published on The Palestrin Chronicle website a piece that cites Israeli media—the ‘news site +972 and Local Call’—to reveal the Israel Defense Force (IDF) use of a ‘system known as “Habsora” (The Gospel), which relies on Artificial Intelligence (AI) ‘. (1)
Habsora uses ‘algorithms to generate targets at a speed surpassing human capability.’.
Habsora has, according to Janal Kanj, through its ‘AI data arranged its “military” targets into four categories, with two related to civilian objectives: “power targets” and “family homes.”
‘Power targets’ include ‘public institutions such as universities, schools, hospitals, government buildings, banks, communication centers, power generation, water plants, fuel storage, residential towers, etc.’
We may remember several Hospitals blown into pieces through their targeting by Habsora’s AI.
We may see from Al Jazeera the current count (December 12, 2023) of ‘Infrastructure Damage in besieged Gaza.’ (3) 26 of 35 Hospitals there are reported to be ‘not functioning.’
The second of ‘military targets’ that are ‘related to civilian objectives’ through information fed into the super-speed processing of Habsora’s AI by the Israel Defence Forces is: ‘ “family homes.” , according to Janal Kanj in The Palsestine Chronicle.
Janal writes in detail.
‘The Habsora database includes extensive private home addresses of persons suspected of being associated with the Palestinian resistance. The purpose for this data is to carry out strikes on residential quarters on a massive scale. Even though, there is no military activity associated with such addresses, and the unlikelihood that the alleged operative would be home during wartime events, AI delivers murdering multi-generational families, and neighbors as “unintended casualties.”
The mass assassination factory is so pervasive that entire generations from multiple families are completely expunged from the civil registry. An example of this is what we saw on October 31st, when Israel dropped two-two-ton bombs on a home in the middle of the dense Jabalia refugee camp.’
We may see further the human costs of the IDF’s and Habsora’s targeting through Al Jazeera today.
Janal Kanj on December 6 gave more context to the density and depths of devastation and conseqmass-murder that the IDF has visited on the Gaza Strip over ten weeks. The Gaza Strip in less than one Marathon long (25 miles) and at most one 12-K wide (7.5 miles) and is home to about 2.3 million people, most of them, by far, either women and children.
‘For 48 days […] the Israeli army murdered 15 civilians, injured 35, dropped 42 bombs, and destroyed 12 buildings, every hour, every day. This relentless bombardment replicated a military strategy known as “area” or “saturation” bombing; a tactic initially employed by Nazi Germany in Poland in 1939. The allies applied the same “area” bombing technique in their counteroffensive against Nazi Germany in 1945 dropping 3,900 tons of explosives on the city of Dresden [….']
However, a more fitting warfare parallels would be the Japanese Great bombing of Chongqing in WWII from 1939 to 1942, whereby civilians were targeted to break the Chinese defiance.
Over three years, the Japanese killed nearly an equivalent number of civilians as those murdered in Gaza—15,000 civilians. Still, a more compelling reality in this comparison, unlike Gaza which is cut off from the world, the defenders of Chongqing received nonstop military aid from the Soviet Union and the U.S., and the city was not under complete siege.
To contextualize it geographically, the area of Chongqing is 31,700 square miles, making it 1 to 0.0045 Gaza. In the three years of the Great bombing of Chongqing, 3,000 tons of explosives were dropped, or 1/13th of the explosives dropped on Gaza. Proportional to the area, Israel launched 2,888% more explosives in only 48 days than what the Japanese dropped during the three-year period in the Great bombing of Chongqing. Moreover, the contemporary destructive power per ton far exceeds that of World War II such as the misnomer “smart bombs,” a euphemism for more lethal weaponry.system known as “Habsora” (The Gospel), which relies on Artificial Intelligence (AI)’
We return to “Habsora (The Gospel)’ as thia ‘War’s’ most central, main and indiscriminate means of mass murder.
Habsora guides the ‘two-ton bombs’ that explode in Hospitals and in ‘family homes.
What and who in the U.S. Government supplies Israel’s Government with those ‘bunker-buster’ bombs.
Thalif Deen reports in the The Palestine Chronicle on December 11.
‘According to a December 1 report in the Wall Street Journal, the US last week provided Israel with additional 2,000-Pound bombs for the Gaza War.
The US has provided Israel with large bunker buster bombs, among tens of thousands of other weapons and artillery shells, to help dislodge Hamas from Gaza, US officials were quoted as saying.
The surge of arms, including roughly 15,000 bombs and 57,000 artillery shells, began shortly after the Oct. 7 attack and has continued in recent days, the officials said. The US hasn’t previously disclosed the total number of weapons it sent to Israel nor the transfer of 100 BLU-109, 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs.’ (5)
What and who buildi the ‘bunker buster bombs’.
Why, it’s Weapons-Makers based in the U.S. They’re all reliable partners.
My ‘Boycotts Win Again!’ post of yesterday tells. (6)
‘Gregory J. Hayes and RTX supply ‘5,000-pound GBU-28 "bunker buster" and laser-guided Paveway bombs, as well as AGM-65 Maverick air-to-ground missiles, AIM-9X missiles, AIM-120 Sidewinder missiles, [ … ]’ )
And: ‘Kathy J. Warden and Northrop Grumman partner often with Lockheed Martin. ‘For Israel's main combat aircraft, Lockheed Martin's F-16, Northrop Grumman manufactures the ALQ-131 warfare system and the AN/APG-68(V)9 fire-control radar [….]
And: ‘David L. Calhoun and Boeing have sold to Israel’s Government his past October ‘small, 250-pound guided bombs (the New York Times, October 17, 2023) and gear to make older bombs more ‘Smart’.’
And: ;Phebe Nokakovic and General Dynamics:: ‘BLU-113 5,000–pound "bunker buster" bombs, BLU-109 "hardened penetration" bombs, and MK- 82 and 84 "general-purpose" bombs.’
Together, the Big Five of U.S.-based Weapons-Makers 'took in an astounding $196 billion in military-related revenue in 2022’, according to the Eyes on The Ties website. (7). Together, the Big Five’s CEOs ‘earned’ … ‘around $318 million in total compensation — salary, stock awards, and other forms of payment’ between 2000 and 2022.'
We know the Banks behind this Big Five, too. It’s the Counterpart of the Weapons-Makers’ Big Five. They share in the spoils and the guilt.
The Walt Street Journal of December 1 gave another kind of count. ‘Among the munitions the U.S. has transferred to Israel are more than 5,000 Mk82 unguided or “dumb” bombs, more than 5,400 Mk84 2,000 pound warhead bombs, around 1,000 GBU-39 small diameter bombs, and approximately 3,000 JDAMs, which turn unguided bombs into guided “smart” bombs, according to an internal U.S. government list of the weapons described to The Wall Street Journal by U.S. officials.’ (6)
We know the Big Three of ‘Asset-Management Firms’ behind the Big Five of Banks and Big Five of Weapons-Makers. Yes, the Vanguard Group and BlackRock and State Street.
‘We can note that the same Banks are principal to both Starbucks and the Weapons-Makers. These Banks include Citigroup, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co, Morgan Stanley, U.S. Bancorp, and Wells Fargo. We can note that the same Big Three of ‘Asset Management Firms’—Vanguard and BlackRock and State Street—are among the Top-Five Shareholders in both Starbucks and the United States’ five biggest Weapons-Makers. We can note that many of the Banks and Weapons-Makers are represented among the ‘Strategic Partners’ and Board of Trustees of the World Economic Forum.’
And so, again, we know what and who are doing what to defenseless families in the Gaza Strip, and what and who are profiting into millions and billions and trillions of Dollars from their Wars-making, and we know what and who we can target in our efforts to bring about a Ceasefire and Justice and Peace.
