Let's move on to uh a very funny story, very interesting story.
Uh this one is about a Italian magazine.
Didn't think I would be uh reading an Italian magazine, but here we are uh in 2026.
Let's put this one up here on the screen.
So, this was an Italian magazine.
It has a cover.
It says Labuso.
I'm not going to try and read this, but I am going to give you a quick translation.
The headline is abuse.
What is in the new issue of Lespresso, which again is an Italian magazine, which had that cover which shows It does seem like something you soldier, huh?
>> It does seem like something you would absolutely I don't read Italian magazine or the Italian press.
Uh so you have an Israeli soldier there with a phone in his hand uh seemingly filming what looks like a Palestinian woman.
Uh and the sub headline there is it is about settlers in the West Bank.
Okay, so that was the cover.
Now, what ended up happening is that, let's put B8 up here on the screen, is that the Israeli ambassador to Italy, Jonathan Pel, put out a statement saying, "We strongly condemn the manipulative use of the recent cover of Lespresso.
The image distorts the complex reality with which Israel must coexist, promoting stereotypes and hatred.
Responsible journalism must be balanced and fair. # media responsibility."
Now, as people know, I'm not a fan of community notes, but I guess I will.
>> Say of media responsibility.
>> Uh, for sure, right? People People know, screw that.
>> Um, but of this community note, they say the image on Lespresso's cover is a real photograph that was taken by an Italian photographer, Petro Masuzo, as part of a Westbank settler's reportage.
The same man appears in other photos by the Associated Aons press.
So again, just to show you all that photo, let's put B9 up here on the screen.
Here we have uh from the Middle East eye.
It says, "Israeli settlers uproot hundreds of trees belonging to Palestinian and West Bank."
You can clearly see the same individual uh which is there actually in the photograph.
We also have video which has been released.
Now uh this video was via a I believe an Italian journalist.
And we're going to go ahead and play some of it here for you.
Let's go ahead and take a listen if you want to.
You can see actually on the screen.
There he is.
This is presumably when the photograph was taken.
Him as well as several other soldiers in the IDF.
And they are I mean there's some sort of confrontation happening.
This Palestinian woman is there on the right.
These Israeli soldiers are there on the left.
He is filming the incident.
Um, he did make some sounds.
I It was like unclear exactly what he was saying, but if you want to go and take a listen to the full video for yourself, at one point you can hear him shouting the word at her.
Uh, and so yeah, it's clearly not only a true incident, uh, but it is illustrative obviously of what a lot of Western governments, including our own government, allegedly opposes, which is Israeli deacto settlement and control of the West Bank.
But it is um yeah it's a fascinating controversy isn't it? Well,
so interestingly under this the thread of the post from the ambassador that we put up, this is the Israeli ambassador to Italy,
>> Barack Ravid, yeah, responded.
So, former IDF reporter at Axio, he goes, "The photo is not real.
It's AI."
>> The ambassador responds >> hard to prove.
Okay.
>> So, there you have a tacit admission that he actually has no idea whether or not this was responsible media, right?
That's his hashtag, media responsibility.
>> Yeah.
He actually has no idea.
I want to post with the hash ambassador responsibility because how dare you say that this journalistic outlet was being irresponsible when you have absolutely no proof that this was somehow AI generated.
In fact, the evidence is to the contrary that this was from a video.
>> Mhm.
>> So he's out there just >> No, it's Look, it's obviously shooting off his mouth.
>> It's real, right?
It's uh it's very obvious
>> to the point where he can't even say it's not.
>> Yeah.
He he didn't even deny that it was real.
Uh let's continue.
There was uh this B10, please.
Uh this was uh Rabbi Pu Popco.
He uh his biography says 11th generation rabbi, speaker and writer,
host of the Jewish world podcast.
He says Italy's magazine Espresso Online is publishing anti-Semitic Dar Dar Sturmer
was a Nazi publication.
Uh worthy imagery that should clarify where they got this image from.
The military vest worn here is no longer in use by the IDF.
The wedding ring and bracelet are never worn by ultraorththodox men.
The formation of the beard and keepa are outlandish.
And of course, the very bizarre smile and showing on teeth are unnatural.
So, as they again point out, that photograph was taken by this Italian journalist in the West Bank.
