„Lavender“: Die KI-Maschine, die Israels Bombardements in Gaza steuert (Teil 1)

ZusĂ€tzliche automatisierte Systeme, darunter eines namens „Where’s Daddy“, das hier ebenfalls erstmals enthĂŒllt wird, wurden speziell eingesetzt, um die Zielpersonen aufzuspĂŒren und Bombenangriffe durchzufĂŒhren, wenn diese die WohnhĂ€user ihrer Familien betreten hatten.

Das Ergebnis war, wie die Quellen bezeugten, dass Tausende PalĂ€stinenser – die meisten davon Frauen und Kinder oder Menschen, die nicht an den KĂ€mpfen beteiligt waren – „aufgrund der Entscheidungen des KI-Programms“ durch israelische Luftangriffe ausgelöscht wurden, insbesondere in den ersten Wochen des Krieges.

„Wir waren nicht daran interessiert, [Hamas-]Aktivisten nur dann zu töten, wenn sie sich in einem MilitĂ€rgebĂ€ude befanden oder an einer militĂ€rischen AktivitĂ€t beteiligt waren“, erklĂ€rte A., ein Geheimdienstoffizier, gegenĂŒber +972 und Local Call. „Im Gegenteil, die IDF bombardierte sie ohne zu zögern in ihren HĂ€usern, als erste Option. Es ist viel einfacher, das Haus einer Familie zu bombardieren. Das System ist konzipiert, um sie in solchen Situationen aufzufinden.“

Die „Lavender“-Maschine ergĂ€nzt ein anderes KI-System, „The Gospel“. Informationen darĂŒber wurden in einer frĂŒheren Untersuchung von +972 und Local Call im November 2023 sowie in den eigenen Veröffentlichungen des israelischen MilitĂ€rs bekannt. Ein grundlegender Unterschied zwischen den beiden Systemen liegt in der Definition des Ziels: WĂ€hrend „The Gospel“ GebĂ€ude und Strukturen markiert, von denen aus laut Armee Militante operieren, markiert „Lavender“ Menschen – und setzt sie auf eine Tötungsliste.

Aus VölkerrechtsbrĂŒchen lernen? Deutsch-Israelische MilitĂ€rkooperation im Zeichen der Zeitenwende

(April 23, 2026)

Die Studie untersucht die deutsch-israelische MilitĂ€rkooperation seit dem VerkĂŒnden der „Zeitenwende“ durch
Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz, die fĂŒr eine massive Aufstockung der deutschen MilitĂ€rausgaben steht. Angesichts
der israelischen Aggressionen und dem Genozid in Gaza seit dem 7. Oktober 2023 stellt der Beitrag fest, dass die MilitĂ€rkooperation mit Israel einen Verstoß gegen das Völkerrecht darstellt. Sie zeigt weiter auf, wie deutsche Gesetzgeber und MilitĂ€rvertreter Verbindungen zur IDF und zur israelischen RĂŒstungsindustrie suchen, sei es beim Erwerb von MilitĂ€rtechnologie, beim Informationsaustausch ĂŒber Wirtschaftswachstum durch die Waffenproduktion oder um Erkenntnisse ĂŒber die effiziente Integration von Frauen
und der Reserve in die Armee zu gewinnen. Die Studie untersucht zudem die Interessen der Akteure, die die MilitĂ€rkooperation vorantreiben, und skizziert die Folgen des Militarismus fĂŒr die deutsche Zivilgesellschaft im Hinblick auf die Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Staaten.

IMI-Studie zu deutsch-israelischer MilitÀrkooperation veröffentlicht

(Artikel 23, 2026)

In einer neuen Studie der Informationsstelle Militarisierung e.V. untersucht Melchior Grabowski die militĂ€rische Zusammenarbeit zwischen Israel und Deutschland seit dem VerkĂŒnden der Zeitenwende. Sie zeigt auf, dass trotz massiver VölkerrechtsbrĂŒche Israels umfangreiche MilitĂ€rkooperationen zwischen den beiden LĂ€ndern stattfinden, die tief in Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft eingreifen. Damit deckt die Studie auf, welche deutschen Interessen abseits der „StaatsrĂ€son“ in der militĂ€rischen Kooperation mit Israel bestehen.

From economy of occupation to economy of genocide – Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, Francesca Albanese

(June 30, 2025)

In the present report, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967 investigates the corporate machinery sustaining the Israeli settler-colonial project of displacement and replacement of the Palestinians in the occupied territory. While political leaders and Governments shirk their obligations, far too many corporate entities have profited from the Israeli economy of illegal occupation, apartheid and now genocide. The complicity exposed by the report is just the tip of the iceberg; ending it will not happen without holding the private sector accountable, including# its executives. International law recognizes varying degrees of responsibility – each requiring scrutiny and accountability, particularly in this case, where a people’s self-determination and very existence are at stake. This is a necessary step to end the genocide and dismantle the global system that has allowed it.

UN report lists companies complicit in Israel’s ‘genocide’: Who are they?

Are private companies liable under international law?

According to Albanese’s report, yes. Corporate entities are under an obligation to avoid violating human rights through direct action or in their business partnerships.

States have the primary responsibility to ensure that corporate entities respect human rights and must prevent, investigate and punish abuses by private actors. However, corporations must respect human rights even if the state where they operate does not.

A company must therefore assess whether activities or relationships throughout its supply chain risk causing human rights violations or contributing to them, according to the report.

The failure to act in line with international law may result in criminal liability. Individual executives can be held criminally liable, including before international courts.

‘Israel’s genocide continues because it is lucrative for many’

As we’ve been reporting, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese has named more than 60 companies, including major arms manufacturers and technology firms, in a report alleging their involvement in supporting Israeli settlements and military actions in Gaza, which she called a “genocidal campaign”.

Albanese compiled the report based on more than 200 submissions from states, human rights defenders, companies, and academics.

“While life in Gaza is being obliterated and the West Bank is under escalating assault, this report shows why Israel’s genocide continues: because it is lucrative for many,” Albanese wrote. She accused corporate entities of being “financially bound to Israel’s apartheid and militarism.”

Israel’s AI use in Gaza potentially normalizes civilian killings, obscures blame, exposes Big Tech complicity: Expert

Israel’s use of artificial intelligence (AI) in its ongoing assault on the Gaza Strip – aided by tech giants such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon – is fueling concerns over the normalization of mass civilian casualties and raising serious questions about the complicity of these firms in potential war crimes, according to a leading AI expert.

Multiple reports have confirmed that Israel has deployed AI models such as Lavender, Gospel, and Where’s Daddy? to conduct mass surveillance, identify targets, and direct strikes against tens of thousands of individuals in Gaza – often in their own homes – all with minimal human oversight.

Israel using AI weapons system co-produced with Indian firm in war on Gaza

(November 20, 2024)

Although defence analysts say the weapon system may not be as cutting-edge or as widely used as the „Lavender“ or „The Gospel“ AI weapons systems – that are reported to have played a huge role in the tremendous death toll in Gaza – Arbel appears to be the first weapons system to directly tie India to Israel‘s rapidly expanding AI war in Gaza in what could have wide-ranging implications for other conflicts.
