New Israeli facial recognition technology can identify terror supporters despite masks
World Israel News ^ | April 28, 2025 | Hugh Fitzgerald

Whether it’s the keffiyeh that they wear pulled over the face, which both hides the wearer and expresses his support for the killers of Hamas, or the other mask that they wear that has so many different names — ski-mask in the U.S., balaclavain the UK, cagoule in France, and passamontagna in Italy (this may be some sort of record: four widely-different names for the same article of clothing).

The brownshirts who have been stomping on American campuses want to be sure the authorities will not identify them as they unleash their physical and moral mayhem, harassing, and at times surrounding Jewish students to prevent them from leaving, all the while screaming anti-Israel slogans in their faces.

Or interrupting and trying to shut down Jewish professors in their classrooms, or entering campus buildings to paint pro-Hamas slogans on the walls, and even beating up janitorial staff who try to stop them.

In one case, at Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall, a pro-Hamas group was vandalizing the building when one of the janitors tried to stop them. He was beaten so severely by the students that he had to be hospitalized for five days.

The pro-Hamas demonstrators on campuses across America who call for the destruction of Israel and its replacement by a 23rd Arab state (that is the meaning of “From the river to the sea/Palestine will be free”), or calling for attacks on Jews worldwide (“Globalize the Intifada”) will now be unable to hide their identities by wearing masks.

This is thanks to new facial recognition software developed by Israeli engineers.

...

When a protester was caught on video in January at a New York rally against Israel, only her eyes were visible between a mask and headscarf. But days later, photos of her entire face, along with her name and employer, were circulated online.

“Months of them hiding their faces went down the drain!” a fledgling technology company boasted in a social media post, claiming its facial-recognition tool had identified the woman despite the coverings.

Sounds great.

Until the leftists use the same technology to track the "Christian nationalists" or such.

This will likely find it’s way into “Social Credit Systems” like they have in China.

I can imagine Nazis using it to see if it can recognize Jews. (They had their own manuals of what to look for, all the usual stereotypical [expletive for #2].)

Some Native American cultures, along with certain religious groups, hold a belief that photographs can capture or steal a person’s soul. This belief stems from the idea that a photograph captures more than just the physical likeness, but also a part of a person’s essence or spirit. This belief is not limited to Native American cultures, as many other religious and cultural groups have similar beliefs about the power of images and their potential to capture or influence a person’s soul.

Perhaps this wisdom was handed down from a forgotten time when their people were ruled by an insane, super-surveillance state.

WOW! (is this even technologically possible? AMAZING!) we hope this will help the IDF round up and repatriate, return these d___ed Arab terrorists to their home countries (Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, Syria as soon as it is safe again for them, etc.)

Long past due!

Here the primary reason people wear a mask nowadays is to hide their identity IMO.

Those damn things oughta be illegal to wear in public without a doctor’s authorization.

I’m old enough to remember when you had to take your sunglasses off just to walk in a bank.

These are things best kept quiet.

But too late now.

The faulse prophet will ( unfortunately) likely come from Israel. He will likely be an Israli globalist.
