Two days before Israel’s Oct 27 parliamentary election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared an AI generated image of a nuclear explosion over Tel Aviv alongside a post by right wing activist Yuval Bloomberg arguing that voting him out could expose Israelis to a “second Holocaust.” The post declared that Israel faces a “real and tangible existential danger” and argued that the country has “two more years of Trump to finish the job in Iran,” portraying Netanyahu’s rival, former IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot, as being held by the throat by the Muslim Brotherhood and terrorist collaborators and unable to hold a close phone conversation with the US president.
