[Image and video descriptions: 1. Tweet by Dovid Efune @Efune [verified] that says: A baby was found in an oven, baked to death by Hamas terrorists, leading Israeli first responder @EliBeerUH recounted to an @RJC gathering last night. His group was among the first to respond to and witness the Oct 7 astrocities. Datestamp: 29 October 2023.

Video description: An elderly Arab man recounts what happened. He speaks in Arabic, and there are English subtitles on the video which read:

the orchards. The bakery had a window from my side. The Jews were inside the bakery. The [Arab] women were sitting on the ground and each one had her arms over her head like this. [He demonstrates this by clasping his hands together and holding them behind his head.] They [the Jews] were telling the baker, his name was Hamed, “Throw your son into the oven.” [A fiery oven is shown on screen.] “Throw your son into the oven.” He replied, “I will not throw my son.” He told him, “Grill him!” They hit Haj on his head and took the child and threw him in the oven. I saw this scene. [The man begins to cry.] I saw this scene and couldn’t find any more strength. Then they took the father and threw him after the son. They told him, “follow your son.” I sat down and thought to myself, “they are going to catch me,” so I started running. [A field of flowers briefly appears on screen.] \End descriptions]

If there's one thing you watch/read this Yom HaShoah, let it be Gideon Hausner's opening statement at the trial of Adolf Eichmann:

As I stand before you, Judges of Israel, to lead the prosecution of Adolf Eichmann, I do not stand alone.

With me, in this place and at this hour, stand six million accusers.

But they cannot rise to their feet and point an accusing finger towards the man who sits in the dock and cry: 'I accuse.' For their ashes are piled up on the hills of Auschwitz and in the fields of Treblinka, or washed away by the rivers of Poland.

Their graves are scattered throughout the length and breadth of Europe.

Their blood cries out, but their voices are not heard. 

Therefore it falls to me to be their spokesman and to unfold in their name the terrible indictment.

Rabbi Yisroel Bernath

Mr deep fake

His advice? We need to question what we see.Ī video of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg appearing to talk about how Facebook ’controls the future’ via stolen user data - notably on Instagram. He then showed how the two halves of the merged video looked when separated. One example of a Deepfake is the video issued by actor Jordan Peele in which he used real footage of Barack Obama merged with his own impression of Obama to issue a warning against Deepfake videos. High profile Deepfake examples are not hard to find. In fact, the same Deepfake machine learning and synthesizing techniques can be used to fake voices. Plus, GANs can fake other data besides photos and video. This makes Deepfake an ever more potent threat. Two neural networks are used to compete with each other in learning the characteristics of a training set (for instance, photographs of faces) and then generating new data with the same characteristics (new 'photographs').īecause such a network keeps testing the images it creates against the training set, the fake images become increasingly convincing. This is another kind of specialized machine learning system. That data can then be processed in order to create a Deepfake video through a GAN (Generative Adversarial Network). For instance, an AI can gather data on your physical movements. It's capable of learning from unstructured data - such as the human face. Deep learning is an advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) method which uses multiple layers of machine learning algorithms to extract progressively higher-level features from raw input. Efune said he didn’t respond to Taylor’s messages.Deepfake videos are a portmanteau word - 'deep' from 'deep learning' and 'fake', obviously, from 'fake'. Taylor emailed both papers protesting the removal, but Times of Israel Opinion Editor Miriam Herschlag said she rebuffed him after he failed to prove his identity. “We’re not a counterintelligence operation,” Algemeiner Editor-in-chief Dovid Efune said, although he noted that the paper had introduced new safeguards since.Īfter Reuters began asking about Taylor, The Algemeiner and the Times of Israel deleted his work. He didn’t ask for payment, they said, and they didn’t take aggressive steps to vet his identity. The University of Birmingham said in a statement it could not find “any record of this individual using these details.” Editors at the Jerusalem Post and The Algemeiner say they published Taylor after he pitched them stories cold over email. Taylor appears to have had no online presence until he started writing articles in late December. Reuters was alerted to Taylor by London academic Mazen Masri, who drew international attention in late 2018 when he helped launch an Israeli lawsuit against the surveillance company NSO on behalf of alleged Mexican victims of the company’s phone hacking technology.ĭeepfakes like Taylor are dangerous because they can help build “a totally untraceable identity,” said Dan Brahmy, whose Israel-based startup Cyabra specializes in detecting such images.īrahmy said investigators chasing the origin of such photos are left “searching for a needle in a haystack – except the needle doesn’t exist.” phone number he supplied to editors drew an automated error message and he didn’t respond to messages left at the Gmail address he used for correspondence. Who is behind Taylor isn’t known to Reuters. And experts in deceptive imagery used state-of-the-art forensic analysis programs to determine that Taylor’s profile photo is a hyper-realistic forgery - a “deepfake.” Two newspapers that published his work say they have tried and failed to confirm his identity. He has no obvious online footprint beyond an account on the question-and-answer site Quora, where he was active for two days in March. His university says it has no record of him. The catch? Oliver Taylor seems to be an elaborate fiction. His half dozen freelance editorials and blog posts reveal an active interest in anti-Semitism and Jewish affairs, with bylines in the Jerusalem Post and the Times of Israel. Online profiles describe him as a coffee lover and politics junkie who was raised in a traditional Jewish home. The digital inconsistencies were one of several indicators used by experts to determine that Taylor was an online mirage. The heat map, which was produced using one of Cyabra's algorithms, highlights areas of suspected computer manipulation. A combination photograph showing an image purporting to be of British student and freelance writer Oliver Taylor (L) and a heat map of the same photograph produced by Tel Aviv-based deepfake detection company Cyabra is seen in this undated handout photo obtained by Reuters.

Expert: Anti-Semitic content common across US college campuses | WRSP

Four swastikas were found on the University of Illinois’ campus in October. At this time, no arrests have been made in any of the cases. Fox 55/27 talked to Dovid Efune who’s the CEO and Editor in Chief of the Algemeiner New York City-based newspaper.

President Barchi rightly noted that the controversies facing the three members of his faculty staff originated with exposés published by The Algemeiner – but his goal wasn’t to offer a vote of thanks to Shiri Moshe, our reputable journalist who brought these vital issues to the public attention. His intention was clearly to disparage, undermine and delegitimize. And on what basis? On the basis that the reports had originated in a Jewish newspaper.

He referred to The Algemeiner, incorrectly, as “a blog out of New York, which is the follow-on to what was a Yiddish-language newspaper that folded 10 years ago.” And then, later in his speech, he advised students to “keep in mind when you hear things and those things get picked up by another newspaper, there is very often a back-story to it.”

“Trace it back to where it’s coming from and ask why is it coming from there and what’s going on,” he insisted, “and you may often get a little different perspective on those happenings.”

In fact – shamefully — Barchi spent more time praising the employees in question than he did explaining to students why their views are deeply problematic. He celebrated Puar as “a well-respected scholar.” He lauded Chikindas’ teaching record as “actually very strong,” and he defended Adi ­– who was a spokesman for the Syrian regime’s UN mission in 2014, when Assad first used illegal chemical weapons– as having “not said or done anything in his academic life here that would be actionable.

Rutgers’ president, Robert Barchi decided to use that tried and true tactic of shooting the messenger. He is comfortable with his Jew hating professors though.

In Trump Era, Palestinian Leader Abbas Facing More Pressure Than Ever Before

In Trump Era, Palestinian Leader Abbas Facing More Pressure Than Ever Before

Since Donald Trump entered the White House in January, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has been facing more US pressure than ever before, the editor-in-chief of The Algemeiner said in an interview with i24 News on Tuesday. “President Trump has lined up one hell of a stick which he’s hanging now over President Abbas’ head,” Dovid Efune explained to “Crossroads” hosts David Shuster…

The editors at British newspaper The Guardian are beside themselves. Somebody forgot to pass on the ‘Anti-Israel Rioting Etiquette Handbook’ to the largely vicious and thoroughly bigoted hordes who gathered to call for Israel’s demise in the streets of the world’s major cities over this past month. Media reports said that the marches were prompted by Israel’s Operation Protective Edge in Gaza and sympathy for Palestinian children. So why is it that protesters in Paris were chanting “death to the Jews” [...]

Of course all this left the honchos at The Guardian, and others who are generally aligned with the anti-Israel cause, feeling rather uncomfortable, and they quickly moved to disassociate themselves from the hate.

In an editorial on Friday, The Guardian wrote, “It should not need saying, but it does: people can be as angry as they like at the Israeli government, but to attack a synagogue, threaten children at a Jewish school, or throw a brick through the window of a Jewish grocery store is vile and contemptible racism. It cannot be excused by reference to Israeli military behaviour. The two are and should be kept utterly distinct.”

But The Guardian has completely missed the point.

The sad truth is that while the situation in Gaza may have been used to ignite the raging protesters, it is the marches themselves and their message that have exposed a key motivation in Gaza’s war against Israel.

Hamas has made no secret of its visceral hatred of Jews, and anti-Jewish animus is enshrined in the group’s constitution.

The Charter reads: “The Day of Judgment will not come until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say, ‘O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.’”

According to a recent Anti-Defamation League poll, the Palestinian-controlled territories contain the most anti-Semitic population in the world, with 93% holding anti-Semitic views.

Away from Gaza, and Hamas’s iron grip on messaging, which is tailored to garner world sympathy, downplaying the elements of Hamas’s ideology that are unpalatable to the West, and highlighting Palestinian suffering, their allies chanting in the streets have exposed their genocidal aims.

For The Guardian and other flagships of the progressive left,  it doesn’t get much starker than this.

At the Middle East Forum, we have launched a campaign to end SFSU's MOU with Najah University. Meanwhile, the Lawfare Project is filing a lawsuit against SFSU alleging "a long and extensive history of cultivating anti-Semitism and overt discrimination against Jewish students." The lawsuit names the Najah MOU and its architect — anti-Israel activist and professor Rabab Abdulhadi — as among the reasons for the increasing anti-Semitism on campus (see page 56).

Why does SFSU partner with an institution where violence towards Jews is routinely encouraged?

In her response to these claims, Abdulhadi proves their accuracy by lambasting SFSU's Department of Jewish Studies, Hillel, and the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), while championing "terrorist university" Najah, without addressing the charges against it.

It was largely due to SFSU's partnership with Najah that the Algemeiner placed SFSU tenth on its 2016 list of "The 40 Worst Colleges for Jewish Students." As Algemeiner editor Dovid Efune put it:"If you can imagine for a second what it's like to be a Jewish student on this campus and know that there is a formal agreement with an institution that has hosted terrorism . . . it's going to leave you feeling uncomfortable."
