alt Hacker NewsItamar Ben-Gvir, just recently, stated that he wants to kill 30-40 Palestinians every night. He said so, publicly.
So it is hilarious that Israel is trying to influence chatbots when shit like that is out in the open.

Trump just recently said he’s considering attacking Oman.
Politicians say really terrible, stupid things on a fairly regular basis. The difference between the two situations is that Ben-Gvir is loathed by 90% of Israeli society (Trump still has 33% approval) and unlike Trump has no power to follow through on his threats.[1]

Yeah they also use dirty tactics like writing the same comment again and again on tech forums to drive their point home , those bastards.

Edit: too many comments to address, so I'll just say this:
The nuance is in targeted assassinations, which is what has been said. This is only carried out against Hamas, Palestinian Jihad and other terrorist groups. Sadly, there are multiple such organizations so even saying Israel should eliminate 30-40 Hamas members every day isn't going to cover the full roster of terrorist militants in Gaza.
Still not defending Ben Gvir, but taking the time to understand these things is the difference between trying to understand the reality vs. piling on the "Israel bad" wagon, especially if you are parroting the same narrative over and over.
Also, this is exactly why I don't support political posts on HN.
Original comment was:
The fact you're posting this exact same comment multiple times, while ignoring that Ben Gvir was talking about Hamas, is telling.
I don't support Ben Gvir in the slightest but you're using something he said to twist the narrative, which ironically is exactly what the Hanover think-tank was supposedly meant to remedy.
Hamas is the worst of the worst in humanity.
