Tarnished by Oct. 7, Netanyahu’s legacy may be reshaped by war with Iran in c/[email protected]

Such a glowing review from a journalist seems a bit out of place, considering Netanyahu's crack down on the press.

No mention that the IDF set a record in 2023 for most journalists killed by a single state, then set a new record in 2024. Well over 200 journalists have now been killed in this most recent conflict alone. In 2023, of all journalists killed worldwide, 75% were killed by the IDF. In 2024, the IDF killed 70%.

Also no mention of the mass censorship campaign and the intimidation tactics being used against reporters.

EDIT: And bombed and destroyed the AP offices in Gaza.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP)

Now, as Israel faces another unprecedented crisis in a war with Iran, Netanyahu appears rejuvenated. With the U.S. lending its support against a threat he has devoted his life to confronting, Netanyahu is demonstrating a resurgent confidence that could signal a new turning point in his lengthy political career.

Even as Iranian missiles pound Israeli cities, Netanyahu, 75, has the chance to salvage his sagging political fortunes and reshape a legacy punctured by Hamas’ attacks, a corruption trial and a history of divisive rule. If he succeeds, it will cement his reputation within Israel as a political wizard who can rise from the ashes.

Robot eyes are power hungry. What if we gave them tools inspired by the human brain? in c/[email protected]

Technically, it's the brains (image processing and recognition) that uses most of the power, not the eyes (camera sensors), but okay.
