  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

“No more tunnels, no more fear,” a voice sings over a dance beat. “Trump Gaza is finally here!”

Yes he's making all these promises I wonder what he'll be like in 42 months, if you get my drift ?:eek:

Go read the comments under the video on Trump's Truth Social profile. The majority of his own supporters are condemning it and him for posting it. If the majority of Trump's supporters find it abhorrent, it's safe to say that the majority of Americans do.


Of course, more progressive Christians not in MAGA are being blunt; it's an image of idolatry and Trump ticks all the boxes for the biblical picture of the man of sin and lawlessness.

While of course many of the rest of the world leaders do not?

Yes, I get it. I'll have to see if the whole world worships him in 42 months, and I'll agree with you. Some Christians are delusional because they believe that Obama was the Antichrist at one time.

‘Trump Gaza’ AI video intended as political satire, says creator
Film-maker reacts after US president shares video on his Truth Social account last week

Solo Avital, an LA-based film-maker, said ... he was experimenting with the Arcana AI platform, and decided to create “satire about this megalomaniac idea about putting statues [in Gaza]” to see what the tool could do.

He had shared the video clip with friends, while his business partner posted it on his popular Instagram for a few hours, before Avital encouraged him to take it down on the grounds “it might be a little insensitive and we don’t want to take sides”.

The pair shared an early version with Mel Gibson, who Trump named as a special ambassador to Hollywood in January and who has previously collaborated with EyeMix and Arcana. Gibson told them he shared another video about the LA fires with people close to Trump, but denied sharing the Gaza video with the president, the creators said.

Avital said he was surprised by some of the reactions to the video. “If it was the skit for Saturday Night Live the whole perception of this in the media would be the opposite – look how wild this president is and his ideas, everyone would think it’s a joke.”

[Some boffin] He added the fact the video was intended as political satire but repurposed as “very compelling, visceral” propaganda by Trump highlighted the risk of AI-generated video.


I wouldn't so much call it repurposing as Trump being unable to recognize that it was parodying Trump.

I'm not sure why he would surprised that the source of a message influences its reception. Everyone knows SNL is satirical. Trump, on the other hand, is not known for satirizing himself.
