    Whats up with all the AI videos?

    Infowar in full swing from all sides. At this point people are dead when their own side admits they are. Just like I didn’t believe Khamenei was dead until Iran said so, I won’t believe Bubi is dead until Israel says so.

    I’m not getting my hopes up. Tbh I just don’t see how his death would remain a secret for longer than a day or two. He’s the PM of a nation at war, he has to talk to so many different people every day, his death would have major immediate consequences for the internal politics of Israel, you can’t just Weekend at Bernie’s your way through that.

    Basically if he was dead, there’d be so many people who would have to be in the know that it would leak sooner than later. And we’d have more indicators than a few weird twitter videos.

      I agree it’s unlikely, but look at all the stage-managing of Trump and Biden through their obvious mental and physical declines. Look at all the historical examples we have of sitting U.S. presidents in particular hiding serious ailments from the public (Wilson, FDR, Reagan, and Biden come to mind). There’s a tradition of covering this stuff up, a willingness to do it even today, and more resources than ever.

      Covering up the death of a prime minister or president would be a leap from what we’ve already seen, but you see all sorts of extraordinary lies during wartime, and admitting your leader was killed would be a huge propaganda loss for Iron Dome colony in particular.

    If he is, we wouldn’t know. If he isn’t, we wouldn’t know.

    If Israel has one MO, it’s obfuscation. They’re either hiding his death to prepare for a morale loss or pretending he’s dead to make Iran waste more resources confirming it.

    Everyone asking “Netanyahu?”, when they should be asking “Netanya-where?”

    Fates willing, the where in question is - scattered all over Tel-Aviv in tiny chunks. More likely scenario is that they shuffled him off somewhere abroad to sit out the bombing safely, probably Germany or the US.

    idk if he’s dead but this video is AI(weather completely generated or automatic post-processing done by whatever platform without the intention of the uploader) but politifact and that are making you focus on the ‘extra finger’ which is just artifact9ing that may happen in a normally video, the real hint is his teeth disappearing at some point

    I’ll try find the previous thread on this here which had more

    I was pretty worked up too at first but I looked harder at the picture and realized it doesn’t actually show him with six fingers. If you look really closely at the spot you’ll see that it’s actually some swamp gas from a weather balloon trapped in a thermal pocket that refracted the light from Venus.

    He is so obviously dead that I start to believe he is actually still alive.

    touch grass, the zionist entity doesn’t have any actual dedication to specifically netanyahu, the next most popular guy to netanyahu is even farther to the right, they will eventually have to admit that the head of state is dead or they’ll have him unambiguously videoed alive. it doesn’t really matter either way.

      Yeah, this actually seems way more likely to me as well. They’re hiding him, but it’s to cover up that he immediately fled the region as soon as there was any threat of harm to him. That would explain both why he hasn’t appeared in public and why nobody in the government has leaked anything: he’s still running the show, but he’s doing it from a secure location outside the local area. They’ve got good reason to hide that too–seeing him run away would be a huge hit to morale for the 14 year old major generals in charge of the army.
