Brief news summary

Actor Rachel Zegler has criticized the AI-generated "All Eyes on Rafah" post that has been circulating on social media, calling it performative. The post, created by artificial intelligence, depicts artwork of a landscape with the phrase "All Eyes on Rafah," referring to Israel's bombardment of camps for displaced people in Rafah. Zegler expressed her dismay that people are sharing this image instead of providing real information about the situation in Gaza. She suggested that there are other more effective ways to support the Palestinians, such as GoFundMe appeals or infographics. Others online have echoed her criticisms, pointing out that many celebrities and influencers have remained silent about the attacks in Gaza until now. The AI-generated post has been described as a sanitized image that fails to depict the real-world violence. This controversy draws parallels to the black squares shared during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, which were criticized for being performative.

The post, believed to be created by artificial intelligence, features artwork of a landscape with the words "All Eyes on Rafah. " This phrase aims to draw attention to Israel's bombardment of camps for displaced people in Rafah, which resulted in the death of numerous Palestinians.

Zegler expressed her concern that many people chose to show support for Palestinian lives through an AI-generated image that fails to capture the true horrors of their experiences.

She mentioned that there are more effective ways to support Palestinians in Gaza, such as GoFundMe appeals, infographics, or other forms of art. Several others online shared similar criticisms, particularly targeting celebrities and influencers who remained silent about the attacks in Gaza until now. Some questioned why people would choose an AI-generated image when there have been numerous real accounts and images documenting the ongoing genocide over the past eight months. The AI-generated post, described as sanitized and uncontroversial, has been compared to the black squares posted during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. Both were criticized for lacking context and useful resources, and for being a form of performative activism.
