Benjamin Netanyahu has posted a 79-second AI-generated Lego animation to his official X account on the third anniversary of the Hamas attack, depicting Lego Hamas figures kidnapping Israelis and arguing Israel does not meet the legal definition of genocide. The clip, captioned 'Terrorism is Not a Game. Remember October 7th,' has surpassed 2.7 million views and was made in deliberate imitation of popular propaganda videos released by Iran.
The video opens with toy protesters holding a sign reading 'Israel Commits Genocide' before rewinding to October 7, 2023, when more than 1,200 people were killed.
It cites evacuation warnings, a polio campaign vaccinating nearly 560,000 Gazan children, and humanitarian aid as evidence Israel lacks genocidal intent.
Most replies attacked the format rather than the argument, with users posting responses such as 'Netanyahu is posting Lego videos now.'
