'Every home in Gaza is filled with antisemitic propaganda': Fauda star slams anti-war petition
Singer and Fauda star Idan Amedi, who was injured during his reserve service, sharply criticized a forthcoming petition reportedly signed by several Israeli creatives to stop the war in Gaza.
The petition was allegedly signed by Israeli celebrities such as Chava Alberstein, Gidi Gov, and Oshik Levi. Israeli media reported that the full petition will be published within the coming days.
Amedi called the petition 'detached and fake news.'
'Every home in Gaza is filled with antisemitic, anti-Jewish propaganda. From images of 'martyrs' to stickers saying, 'With blood and fire we will reach Jerusalem,'' he wrote.
'A group of privileged people echoing stupidity, ignorance, and lies. There is no other army in the world that operates in such a densely populated area with such a low civilian casualty rate. This is proven - go check.'
'On a day when we see our brothers in 2025 as 'Muselmann' digging their own graves underground,' he added, referring to the video Gaza terror groups released of two hostages over the weekend.
He also referenced the term Muselmann, which was used during the Holocaust to describe Jewish prisoners in Nazi concentration camps who were starved to the brink of death.
'Go into a tunnel. Fight for one day like tens of thousands of reservists, and then sign a petition. You're worthless - I've had enough of you.'
Petition blames Israel for starving Gazans
'Our country is starving the people of Gaza to death and contemplating the forced removal of millions of Palestinians from the Strip,' the letter says, as reported by KAN.
'We, Israelis dedicated to a peaceful future for our country and our Palestinian neighbors, write this with grave shame, in rage and in agony.'
While the petition is rumored, over 30 Israeli artists and intellectuals signed a letter to the Guardian calling for an end to the war.
The signatories included Academy Award recipient Yuval Abraham, former attorney-general Michael Ben-Yair, former speaker of the Knesset and former Jewish Agency head Avraham Burg, and former MK Tamar Gozansky.
'Our country is starving the people of Gaza to death and contemplating the forced removal of millions of Palestinians from the Strip,' the letter alleges.
'We, Israelis dedicated to a peaceful future for our country and our Palestinian neighbors, write this with grave shame, in rage and in agony,' it states.

Palestinians scramble for aid, as it is airdropped over north Gaza
STORY: :: Palestinians scramble for food aid as parcels are airdropped in north Gaza :: August 7, 2025 :: North Gaza, Gaza :: Abu Mohammed al-Omar, Palestinian father 'I got lentil and tomato paste as you see, for a family of six. We are dying, you see what people look like. Whatever we get is not enough. One pallet for a million people like you see, this is what I got, it is cut open. We want to feed our children.' 'The hunger...I have six (family members) …I have four children. They want to eat, where can I get them food from? We go to Zikim, and we see death with our own eyes, and we go back without anything. Death takes place in front of us. We come here for the airdrops, and this is what we get from the airdrops and there's a lot of suffering. There are a lot of people here, not one or two. A thousand (people) for one pallet?' A senior Palestinian official said Hamas had told Arab mediators that an increase in humanitarian aid entering Gaza would lead to a resumption in ceasefire negotiations. Israeli officials accuse Hamas of seizing aid to hand out to its fighters and to sell in Gazan markets to finance its operations, accusations that the militant group denies. Close to 200 Palestinians have died of starvation in Gaza since the war began, nearly half of them have been children, according to Gaza's health ministry. U.N. agencies say airdrops are insufficient and that Israel must let in far more aid by land and open up access to the territory to prevent starvation among its 2.2 million people, most of whom are displaced amidst vast swathes of rubble.

Chris Cuomo mocked after falling for deepfake video of AOC slamming Sydney Sweeney ad
Veteran newsman Chris Cuomo apparently can't tell the difference between AOC and an AI-OC. The NewsNation anchor was mercilessly mocked — including by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — after he fell for a deepfake video of the progressive firebrand denouncing Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad campaign as 'Nazi propaganda.' Cuomo posted a video to his X account Wednesday showing the New York pol making crude references to female body parts while speaking about Sweeney's photo shoot on the House floor. 5 Chris Cuomo was widely mocked online after mistaking an AI-generated deepfake of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for a real congressional speech. Getty Images for Tribeca Festival In his post accompanying the ersatz video showing a AOC wearing a black blazer and with her hair in bun, Cuomo denounced the Democrat for having misplaced priorities. 'Nothing about hamas or people burning jews cars. But sweeney jeans ad? Deserved time on floor of congress? What happd to this party? Fight for small business …not for small culture wars,' he wrote. Cuomo failed to notice that the AI-generated video bore a clear watermark stating it was 'parody 100% made with AI. The supposed hard-hitting journalist also apparently forgot that Congress is not in session. The real Ocasio-Cortez quickly called out the brother of New York mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo. 'This is a deepfake dude. Please use your critical thinking skills. At this point, you're just reposting Facebook memes and calling it journalism,' she replied to Cuomo's post. American Eagle's ad campaign features Sweeney making a tongue-in-cheek reference to having 'great jeans,' using wordplay between the denim wear and genetics. It has sparked a culture war online between 'woke' commentators and right-leaning social media users. 5 Cuomo posted the fabricated clip—falsely showing Ocasio-Cortez denouncing Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad—without realizing it was clearly labeled '100% parody made with AI.' Instagram/memerunnergpt After the embarrassing gaffe, Cuomo acknowledged his error and removed the original post. However, his response attempted to shift focus back to his original criticism of the congresswoman regarding the Israel-Hamas war. 'You are correct… that was a deepfake (but it really does sound like you). Thank you for correcting. But now to the central claim: show me you calling on hamas to surrender or addressing the bombing of a car in st louis belonging to the idf american soldier?…dude?' he wrote. Cuomo was referring to a recent incident in Clayton, Mo., where several cars outside the home of an American who once served in the Israeli military were set on fire and defaced with 'Death to the IDF' graffiti in what authorities are investigating as a hate crime and act of antisemitic intimidation. 5 Sydney Sweeney, whose American Eagle campaign was the subject of the fake video, has been at the center of controversy. American Eagle The congresswoman, who has criticized Israel's military action in Gaza to root out Hamas terrorists following the Oct. 7 massacre, delivered a sharp response. 'You seem to struggle with knowing how to write an apology. Do you need help? Maybe you should call someone,' she replied. 'I was wrong,' Cuomo admitted. 'AOC gave me a smack today because I tried to give her a smack first.' But again he went on to insist that the lawmaker 'also ain't right' because she 'ignored the part of the tweet that mattered' — namely his demand that she 'call on Hamas to surrender to end the war they started' as well as to condemn the Clayton, Mo. incident. 5 The congresswoman criticized Cuomo after he declined to offer up an apology. X/AOC 5 Ocasio-Cortez swiftly corrected the record on X, writing, 'This is a deepfake dude. Please use your critical thinking skills.' Getty Images Cuomo's protestations did little to shield him from being mercilessly mocked online. Piers Morgan, the British media personality who like Cuomo is a former CNN prime time host, suggested Cuomo should focus less on personal conflicts and more on identifying obvious fakes. 'Oh dear,' Morgan wrote on X, adding several laughing hysterically emojis. He urged Cuomo to 'perhaps spend less time bitching about me and more time trying to spot obvious fakes…' Cuomo replied to Morgan, writing: 'You got me…silly clip i didnt pay attn to….and I wont block you for saying so…see how easy that is, my yappy friend?' Tim Miller from the 'Never Trump' publication The Bulwark expressed concern about the larger implications, writing on X: 'It doesn't auger well for our societal AI future if a professional news anchor gets tricked by a video that has a '100% parody' watermark.' The Post has sought comment from Cuomo, Ocasio-Cortez and NewsNation. In June, Chris Cuomo blasted Ocasio-Cortez as 'deranged' after the New York City mayoral candidate that she endorsed in the Democratic primary, State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, defeated his brother.

Hostage families sail toward Gaza calling for Israel to end the war
Families of some of the Israeli hostages still held in Gaza have sailed towards the Palestinian enclave on Thursday, in a desperate attempt to put pressure on the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as it contemplates expanding the war in Gaza. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, as well as the opposition and a large part of the Israeli public, are strongly against the expansion of the operation, arguing it would put their loved ones at even more risk. As the flotilla set off from the port of Ashkelon in southern Israel, Lior Horev from the hostage families forum told CNN the sailing was 'an SOS call.' 'Unfortunately, we cannot enter Gaza and get our loved ones back home, but…this is a mayday call to the Israeli government,' he said. Israel's security cabinet is convening on Thursday to vote on a full reoccupation of Gaza, a move that would mark a major escalation of the conflict after nearly two years of war in the territory. At least 61,158 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the war started after the Hamas-led October 7 terror attacks, the Ministry of Health there reported on Wednesday. The humanitarian situation has now become catastrophic, with at least 193 people having starved to death, including 96 children, according to the ministry. Earlier this week, Israeli media reported that Netanyahu had decided on a 'full conquest' of Gaza. 'The decision of the cabinet to prolong the war will be a death sentence to those alive and will make it impossible to return those who have been murdered by Hamas and still are held in Gaza,' Horev said. As the boats, adorned with Israeli flags and yellow ribbons and balloons symbolizing the efforts to save the hostages, sailed towards Gaza, some of those aboard used loudspeakers to deliver their message. 'We are closest to the hostages, at the maritime border with Gaza, so that they too can hear us and know that we are fighting with all our strength and will not give up until they return,' they said, according to a statement from the forum. Hamas and its allies still hold 50 hostages in Gaza. The Israeli government believes at least 20 are alive, while 28 have been declared deceased. Gaza has been completely cut off from the outside world both on land and at sea, with the Israeli military restricting traffic within miles of the perimeter, so the flotilla was not able to get anywhere close to the shore. Standing on the deck of one of the boats, Yehuda Cohen, whose son Nimrod Cohen has been held in captivity for 22 months, told CNN he also believes that continuing the war is 'directly endangering'the hostages. 'We want it all to stop. We want the world to help us make Netanyahu stop it. We want to end the war and get a hostage deal,' Cohen told CNN.
