The machine didn't do anything. They built a targeting "AI" that is trained on bullshit data, which likely doesn't distinguish between Hamas targets and civilians, but it's ultimately these genocidal bastards who decide when to kill and they choose to do so far more often than not. They're throwing the "AI" buzzword in to add a layer of abstraction between themselves and the genocide they're perpetrating.
And knowing some Israelis, people to say this know full well what they are doing, just think everybody else is either a bastard or an idiot.
It's a real cultural problem, they have a very simplistic society in terms of discussing politics and morality, seems like some small town, only it's a country of 8 million.
