“The Gospel” Is a Kill Machine

Israel built an AI system to pick which Palestinian families die next — and they know it kills mostly women and children.

Israel named its AI targeting system “The Gospel.”

A holy word. A word people associate with truth and salvation.

And they slapped it onto a machine that picks out homes in Gaza to bomb.

Not bunkers or military bases. Homes. Apartments. Families.

According to +972 Magazine’s investigation into Israel’s AI targeting systems, “The Gospel” (Habsora) is designed to generate targets at high speed — not with care or restraint, but with volume. +972 reported that the system automatically recommends bombing “suspected militant homes and structures,” feeding the Israeli Air Force a constant stream of places to hit.

And Israel’s own former Chief of Staff, Aviv Kohavi, bragged about it.

He said the AI system could generate around 100 targets a day, compared to about 50 a year before. That’s not “precision.” It's a production line for killing innocent civilians.

They know exactly who is inside these homes before they bomb them.

Christian theologian JD Hall tells Tucker Carlson that Israel has an AI called “The Gospel,” which he claims is used to intentionally kill women and children as a way to mock Christianity. He says Israelis feel something of “spiritual value” when they go to war and kill gentiles.

They know the civilian death numbers before the strike — and they bomb anyway.

Israeli intelligence keeps files on each home, including pre‑calculated estimates of how many civilians will die if they hit it. They know the numbers before the missile is even armed.

And the officers who spoke to +972 didn’t even bother to hide the truth.

One intelligence officer said that when they targeted a low‑level militant in his home, the army routinely approved strikes even when they expected around 10 civilians to die — and, in his own words, “usually, these 10 will be women and children.”

“A mass assassination factory” — their words, not mine.

Another +972 investigation described Israel’s AI‑driven targeting system as “a mass assassination factory.” Intelligence officers said the army loosened restrictions on civilian casualties and expanded what counts as a “legitimate” target — including civilian homes and infrastructure — to increase the number of strikes. You only do this when you don't see Palestinians as humans.

The goal, according to sources in the investigation, was to “shock” Palestinian society by hitting “power targets” — high‑rises, civilian structures, anything that would break the population. That’s collective punishment. It's illegal and they automated it.

Lavender: the AI system that rubber‑stamps tens of thousands of people for death.

+972 and Local Call also exposed another AI system, Lavender, which flagged tens of thousands of Palestinians as suspected militants. Human “review” often took 20 seconds per target — barely enough time to blink, let alone verify a life‑or‑death decision.

Officers told +972 that Lavender effectively ran the show.

Humans weren’t “in the loop.”

They were just the ones rubber stamping the targets.

Combine Lavender’s mass suspect‑list with The Gospel’s automated home‑targeting, and you get exactly what Gaza has been living through:

AI‑accelerated killing with predictable, repeated civilian slaughter.

The lie of “human oversight”

Israel loves to say humans approve every strike.

But what does “oversight” mean when analysts are reviewing AI‑generated targets in seconds, under leadership that has already signaled that high civilian casualties are acceptable?

The Guardian, reporting on The Gospel, quoted Israeli officials comparing the system to a “factory” for generating targets. Factories don’t do ethics. Factories only understands output.

Once you turn war into a throughput problem — how many targets per day, how many homes processed — you’ve already dehumanized everyone on the receiving end.

AI just makes the dehumanization faster.

International law means nothing if you ignore it on purpose.

International humanitarian law requires militaries to distinguish between combatants and civilians and to avoid excessive civilian harm. Israel knows this. Israel cites this. Israel claims to follow this. The world knows Israel doesn't care about international law. They have impunity.

But how do you claim “proportionality” when you bomb a family home at night knowing most of the people you will kill are women and children?

How do you claim “precision” when your own officers admit the civilian death numbers are known in advance?

How do you claim “morality” when your AI system is designed to increase the number of targets, not reduce harm?

The moral obscenity of “smart” slaughter

Israel and its defenders love to brag about being “the most moral army in the world,” about “precision,” about “smart technology” that supposedly reduces harm. But the record in Gaza — documented by +972 Magazine, Local Call, and The Guardian — shows the opposite: AI systems that massively expand the target bank, policies that accept huge numbers of civilian deaths, and testimonies from Israeli intelligence officers describing the whole thing as a “mass assassination factory.”

There is nothing moral about an algorithm deciding which apartment block to erase next.

There is nothing “smart” about a system that repeatedly produces outcomes where, as one Israeli intelligence officer told +972, “usually, these 10 will be women and children.”

The rest of the world is watching this like it’s a damn commercial.

Militaries everywhere — the U.S., Europe, Gulf states, Asian powers — are studying what Israel is doing in Gaza. They’re looking at The Gospel, at Lavender, at the relaxed civilian‑casualty thresholds, at the political cover, at the speed of the kill chain. They’re watching it the way arms dealers watch a product demo. They’re taking notes.

Because this is the first large‑scale test of AI‑assisted warfare on a trapped civilian population. And Israel is proving that you can automate the targeting, loosen the rules, kill thousands of civilians, and still call it “precision” in press conferences.

If this becomes the new normal — and militaries are already treating it like a blueprint — then The Gospel isn’t just Israel’s problem.

It’s a warning.

A preview of a future where wars are faster, more automated, more distant, and even more lethal for civilians.

This is what “innovation” looks like when you strip away the PR:

• A machine that helps a state kill families more efficiently.

• A system other governments are now eager to copy.

It’s mass slaughter with a software interface.
