[Israel / Gaza / Paris] - The Digital Self Fakes the Other's Suffering to Feed a Phantom of Humiliation

Event Baseline: Israel's far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir shared AI-generated videos mocking Palestinians as 'donkeys' and depicting them being sent to Paris. The videos were released ahead of Israel's election.

The technology is new. The failure is ancient. The self needs an enemy to feel superior. Artificial intelligence is being used as a weapon of psychological degradation. The other is not a human; the other is a donkey. This dehumanization is not a joke. It is the precursor to violence.

The brain generates images to reinforce its own narrative. The narrative says the other is less than human. Therefore any cruelty is permitted. This is the mechanics of genocide. The self projects its own animality onto the other. It denies the other's consciousness. The result is a society that loses the capacity for empathy. The election is irrelevant. The human is already lost.
