Germany has strongly condemned a video created with artificial intelligence by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, showing Palestinian prisoners on a conveyor belt. Critics have compared the footage to scenes from Nazi concentration camps. German Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Giese said in Berlin that he had seen the controversial video.
“As far as I know, it has since been deleted, but that doesn’t make it any less horrific. Of course, this is completely unacceptable. It’s horrific,” Giese declared.
Ministri izraelit, Ben-Gvir: Netanyahu nuk dëshiron të fotografohet me mua He stressed that Germany “clearly opposes” Itamar Ben-Gvir’s policy and manner of expression, adding that Berlin’s position on the issue is “completely clear.” Ben-Gvir has removed from his social media profiles two videos that caused strong reactions for the way Palestinian prisoners were presented. One of the videos, released last Sunday, shows overweight Palestinian prisoners in a courtroom. Graphic bubbles appear above them suggesting they are thinking about education, food or hookah.
Then, an animated version of Ben-Gvir pierces these bubbles and presses a red button, activating a conveyor belt that takes the prisoners through a door. After passing through the door, the same people appear hungry, crying and with their heads bowed. The images sparked harsh criticism and were compared to scenes from Nazi concentration camps.
