Pro-Israel AI image, countering ‘All eyes on Rafah’ campaign, removed from Instagram without explanation

A pro-Israel AI-generated image that was created to combat a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel campaign on social media has been removed from Instagram without explanation, Channel 12 reports.

The image was created and spread online after a similar pro-Palestinian AI-generated image reading “All eyes on Rafah” was shared tens of millions of times across social media in recent days.

In response to the pro-Palestinian campaign, Benjamin Jamon created a similar image, also with the use of AI, which reads: “Where were your eyes on October 7?” The image features a depiction of a Hamas soldier standing over an infant with red hair, implied to be Kfir Bibas, who was nine months old when he was taken hostage with his mother and brother on October 7.

The image was shared roughly half a million times before Jamon’s account was banned, he tells Channel 12.

The “All Eyes on Rafah” does not appear to have been removed.
