>> Oh my god, this video is not AI. I've

been trying to warn people about this

for months now that this was going to

happen where they will lie directly to

your face and tell you that something

that did happen didn't actually happen

and is not real and that it is {quote}

and {quote} AI. Yesterday I posted this

clip of Marco Rubio, the Secretary of

State declaring that if you criticize

Israel, the United States will revoke

your visa.

>> Under President Trump, the United States

will stand with the Jewish people.

We have implemented a vigorous new visa

policy that will prevent foreign

nationals from coming to the United

States to foment hatred against our

Jewish community.

We are holding international

organizations and nations accountable

for rhetoric against Israel that

resurfaces in the manifesto of monsters.

>> First off, before I get to the AI stuff,

I just want to point out how sneaky he

was in terms of going from the Jewish

community to the Jewish people and all

of a sudden boom, Israel, like it's the

same thing. It's not. Second, I didn't

hear anything about what happens if you

criticize the United States, so a little

bit weird that you can't come to this

country if you criticize another one.

Very interesting, right? Now, I posted

this video, this exact same video onto

Instagram and woke up this morning to a

community note claiming that this video

of Marco Rubio is AI and that he did not

say this. I mean, I've been doing social

media for a little while now, but this

was truly shocking because of the

blatantness of the lie. This is

something that's easily verifiable. This

is the transcript from the official

State Department website. Secretary of

State Marco Rubio at the Israeli

Ministerial Conference on Combating

Antisemitism. He says, "We must stand in

solidarity with Israel. Under President

Trump, the United States will stand with

the Jewish people. We have implemented a

vigorous new visa policy that will

prevent foreign nationals from coming to

the United States to foment hatred

against our Jewish community. We are

holding international organizations and

nations accountable for rhetoric against

Israel. This is verbatim what he said in

the clip. It's all right there, 100% not

AI. So, I started to do a little digging

to try to figure out what the heck is

going on here. I'm sure you guys are

already keenly aware that Israel

influences the American media, but I'm

not sure if you guys are familiar. This

is a new paper from the Quincy Institute

that exposes their $1 billion literally

a billion dollar operation to influence

public perception of Israel in America.

We're talking about things like paying

influencers directly, mass texting

operations, and also this new approach,

which we covered last week, hiring firms

like Clock Tower X to build networks of

websites designed to shape how

artificial intelligence chatbots

characterize Israel. So, the question

is, could they also be theoretically

manipulating community notes? Remember

this lady, the Israeli AI policy expert

talking about how they can use AI to

quote and quote correct the digital

world.

Let's take a listen again.

>> Which means that instead of trying to

control the whole world and trying to

somehow manage what's happening in this

big blow up of Wikipedia and social

media, we can go directly to the

companies with clear technical and

advocacy solutions. The for the first

time,

there is a path to correcting the

digital world.

>> They really don't beat the stereotypes,

do they? Anyway, the way community notes

works is that it allows everyday users,

quote and quote, you know, your average

Instagram user to go in and say add

helpful context, facts, or corrections

to post. And they say this is not

managed by the corporate staff, but is

actually approved by a community of

contributors using a consensus

algorithm. Now, that sounds like

something that you can bot, does it not?

In fact, Netanyahu and his allies have

been caught using armies of bots to

influence social media discourse as

reported in the Times of Israel. Now,

you can't call that an anti-Semitic

source, can you? And a couple years ago,

an Israeli firm was actually caught by

Meta setting up hundreds of fake

accounts to spread Israeli propaganda.

So, you can imagine one account writes

the community note claiming that the

very real video that I posted of Marco

Rubio is AI.

And then a bunch of bots swarm in and

create this consensus to say, "Yep,

thank you so much. Super helpful." And

now what shows up when you view this

video is this fact-check, a straight-up

lie to sow doubt about what is real and

what is not real. No pun intended.

Because guess what? Right now, people

are very angry about this. If you go

look, most of the comments in the video

are Americans who are very upset about

this. "I'm going to move." "Occupied."

"Girl, please." Some are even invoking

the Declaration of Independence, and

they're not wrong to say this. The US at

this point is not a sovereign nation.

Straight-up, most Americans are just not

going to be happy or comfortable with

this notion that their country has been

hijacked by a foreign power. Israel

knows this. They know that they cannot

win on the policy front alone, so they

must use this kind of deception and

misdirection to confuse people. You see,

AI is now becoming a tool for them to

muddy the waters because guess what? The

entire campaign against Israel isn't

coming from the fact that we don't like

Jews or we don't like Israel. It's

coming from all of us collectively

viewing these horrific videos, tens if

not hundreds of thousands of people

being blown up, a genocide broadcast in

4K, and then political leaders saying

the most dystopian and then all of

a sudden now they can go, "Nope, that

didn't happen. We didn't say that. It

was AI." This is literally 1984. The

party told you to reject the evidence of

your eyes and ears. It was their final

and most essential command. People can

go Google this right now. This is a real

State Department policy that criticism

of Israel can lead to visa revocations.

But the reality is most people aren't

going to do that. People aren't going to

dig and find that this speech in its

entirety is posted by Ambassador Rabbi

Yehuda Kaplan

who is the special envoy to monitor and

combat anti-Semitism at the US State

Department. They're just going to go,

"James, shame on you. Why are you

posting AI?" And I'm like, "I'm not." If

he didn't say this, it's irresponsible

to post it. And I'm just like, "Yo."

They are in real time turning my

audience against me with lies. I get it.

People hate being fooled by AI. So, they

go, "What if we can make people think

that James is the bad actor posting all

these AI videos." Big picture, I just

want to say that this is an insidious

force that is doing everything they can

to destroy American society. It's kind

of like a virus that needs to survive

and they will stop at nothing until they

eventually overwhelm its host.

Well, we are that host and so we must do

everything in our power to fight off

this virus before it consumes us all.

That is it for me this week. I just want

to really quickly clarify that this

story is not a about, you know, woe is

me, my one video getting fact-checked or

whatever. It doesn't matter. This I

think is a larger issue with this kind

of Zionist controlled media and tech

space that allows for this to happen on

purpose to deceive people. And so I want

to know if you're seeing other

situations like this, if there are other

things you're seeing out there and you

want me to look into it, let me know.

Comment down below. Right now, I'm

actually working on a huge, huge media

project that I think will be a major

game-changer. More details on that to

come, but for now, if you want to

much for your time, and I will see you

>> In addition to my work leading the

Israel public policy team, I created a

new role specifically focused on the

Jewish diaspora.

It is a privilege to represent Meta to

Jewish communities worldwide.

I am proud that Meta's commitment to

addressing anti-Semitism on our

platforms has remained steadfast. We ban

content with harmful stereotypes about

Jews, such as the claim that Jews run

the world or other major institutions.

We updated our policies to recognize

that the term Zionist can be used as a

proxy for Jews and Israelis. We banned

content claiming Zionists run the world

or control the media, and we do not

allow for dehumanizing comparisons of

Zionists.
