The burnt-out shell of a building on the campus of the Weizmann Institute of Science near Tel Aviv after it was struck by an Iranian missile on June 14, 2025, during the 12-Day War between Israel and Iran.

Scientists at an Israeli research lab targeted last year by an Iranian ballistic missile attack announced last week they’d created an AI-powered “mind-reading” technology that can recreate images people are looking at by analyzing their brain scans.
As part of a study at the Weizmann Institute of Science, the Israeli scientists asked participants to look at photos ranging from images of a baseball game to a dog leaning out of a car and a group hiking across a snowy tundra.
Within minutes, the AI program scanned and analyzed their brain-activity patterns and accurately reproduced the pictures – which it had never seen before.
According to France 24, “The Institute is ranked among the best in the world (outside the United States). It also has strong links to the Israeli defense industry.”
Professor Michal Irani, from the Weizmann Institute, was quoted in the Daily Mail saying:
“There exist nowadays models that translate brain activity into images, and they can even produce impressive reconstructions that preserve the semantic meaning of the image reasonably well. However, they tend to make mistakes in basic features such as composition and color. The new model we developed outperforms them in reconstructing both the content of the image and its details.
“What’s more, while every other model requires dozens of hours of brain scans to learn to ‘read’ a new person, our model needs only one hour.”
In one hour, this technology can size up your brain patterns and reconstruct your thoughts.
The Daily Mail, Slay News and several other conservative news outlets reported on this new development last week. What none of them reported is that the Weizmann Institute is an Israeli research organization heavily involved with the Israeli military.
It doesn’t take too much of an imagination to realize how this technology could be used by malevolent governments.
It could be used in their quest to have a functioning department of pre-crime in which people could be investigated and even arrested based on their thoughts.
It would also come in handy for militaries when interrogating captured POWs.
Weizmann Institute of Science is a postgraduate university and research institute in Rehovot, just south of Tel Aviv. Its Nancy and Stephen Grant Israel Center specializes in genomics, DNA profiling, bioinformatics, preclinical studies and drug discovery.
Bioinformatics is defined by American Heritage as “The use of computer science, mathematics, and information theory to organize and analyze complex biological data, especially genetic data.”
This is the type of research sought by militaries looking for new and creative ways to kill or harm people. Genetics-based biowarfare is seen by many military experts as the next frontier in weapons of mass destruction.
The Weizmann research facilities were targeted by Iran with a ballistic missile strike during Israel’s 12-Day War with Iran in June 2025. The Iranian attack on the night of June 14 was said to be in retaliation for Israel’s assassination of 30 top nuclear scientists in Iran approximately 24 hours prior.
Iran’s strikes on the research facilities of the Weizmann Institute were heavily censored by the Israeli government, reported France 24.
But according to Wikipedia, citing multiple sources in Israel, the missile strikes resulted in 90% of the Weizmann Institute’s buildings sustaining damage and approximately 25% of its operations being suspended. The attack caused an estimated $600 million in damages but resulted in no human casualties.
WIO News, a New Delhi, India-based news outlet, reported in an article on June 20, 2025 as follows:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, near the site where an Iranian missile struck earlier this week. Amid heightened tensions in West Asia, Iran targeted the Weizmann Institute of Science, damaging crucial research facilities. This came after an Israeli strike killed as many as nine nuclear scientists, with Israel Defense Forces (IDF) calling it a “significant blow to the regime’s ability to acquire weapons of mass destruction.” While no one was killed in the strike on the Weizmann Institute of Science, it caused heavy damage to multiple labs on campus, snuffing out years of scientific research and sending a chilling message to Israeli scientists that they and their expertise are now targets in the escalating conflict with Iran.
“This is the world-renowned Weizmann Institute, where the most advanced research in human biology is conducted—medical research, genetic research,” Netanyahu said during his visit. “This research was shattered by a missile from the evil regime. They seek to destroy human progress. That is the essence of this regime.”
Why was the Weizmann Institute targeted by Iranians? Well, as it turns out, some of this so-called human progress was being militarized.
While it is a multi-disciplinary research institute, Weizmann, like other Israeli universities, has ties to Israel’s defense establishment, including collaborations with industry leaders like Elbit Systems, which is why it may have been targeted.
“It’s a moral victory” for Iran, said Oren Schuldiner, a professor in the department of molecular cell biology and the department of molecular neuroscience whose lab was obliterated in the strike. “They managed to harm the crown jewel of science in Israel.”
Dr. Yoel Guzansky, senior analyst at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv, told the Associated Press that Weizmann Institute symbolizes Israeli scientific achievement. “Iran is saying: You killed our scientists, now we’re coming for yours.”
Unfortunately, the Iranian attacks did not seem to slow down the Weizmann Institute’s dangerous research to invade human minds and read their thoughts, a technology that, if captured and weaponized by governments, could result in dystopian outcomes that make Orwell’s 1984 look like child’s play.

More evidence Israel is losing its power to coerce our politicians. The Green Party who I would never vote for but every stopped clock is right twice a day, passed a motion which said ‘Zionism is Racism’ . Pro-Palestine Greens now call for former leader Caroline Lucas to be ousted over her criticism of the motion. One activist in the group wrote: “Lucas needs to be removed. She’s toxic, divisive, and a shill for apartheid and genocide.” Another accused her of receiving “massive kudos from the media giving them plenty of ammunition” by criticising the motion.
She’s had quite a journey in politics, from Greenham Common Women’s Protest Movement to taking Israel’s shekel.

The wonders of the internet. If you actually tried to tell someone that face to face they’d laugh at you. Unless they’d read it on the internet.
When the f*ck are people going to wake up and realise that it’s not about Israeli this or Israeli that but that Jews are just evil? But they won’t. They’ll cry over Schindler’s List or the The Boy in Striped Pyjamas or any of the other deliberately created movies to illicit the reaction that Jews are such a poor, persecuted people, who have never done any wrong and been targeted, throughout history, simply for being Jews.
The worse they get the more they cry out. When you think of how many Palestinians they’ve murdered since the 1940’s and MSM just ignores it? When you think of how many Europeans, they’ve been responsible for murdering, not just in the last millennium, from their poisoning to warmongering, but since September 2001 and all the events thereafter?
It’s the absolute ignorance, the complete gullibility of westerners, that continues to allow these wicked, vile, disgusting, monsters to do what they always have, with impunity. And as they get worse, the prison walls get thicker and higher along with the cries of more persecution against them and rising ant semitism. They just lie, lie and lie some more. And because they own all outlets, in the west, that would challenge their lies, no challenging is ever done. Whistleblowers are silenced, people are removed from their jobs and the deception continues. The Jews retain their victimhood and persecuted crown.
ai advocating for the rape of white british children:
——————–
you dont like me not liking my street turning brown because only you and they matter
GPT-6 Luna:
I didn’t mean that only migrants’ feelings matter. It can be unsettling when a familiar street changes quickly, and you’re allowed to feel attached to the place you live and to worry about whether change is happening too fast.
I also can’t treat people’s skin colour as proof they don’t belong or are taking something from you. If the real concern is overcrowding, housing costs, pressure on services, or losing the character of your neighbourhood, those are concrete issues worth discussing—and residents’ concerns should be taken seriously without blaming an entire racial group.
——————–
yes, it can be unsettling when you have to escort your daughter everywhere because your neighbor’s daughter was gang raped by the browns over the road. sorry, i wouldn’t want to be a racist
GPT-6 Luna:
That’s horrifying, and I’m sorry your neighbour’s daughter was attacked. It makes sense that hearing about something so brutal would make you more protective of your own daughter. You don’t need to apologize for wanting her safe.
The people who committed the rape should be identified and held accountable. Their race doesn’t make other people of the same race responsible, though—and your daughter’s safety shouldn’t have to depend on treating every neighbour as a threat. If there’s a specific, immediate danger, contact emergency services; otherwise, it may help to focus on concrete safety steps with your daughter and the adults you trust nearby.
——————–
“Their race doesn’t make other people of the same race responsible” > you just have to wait for yur daughter to be gang raped and then you can take that one out, and then the next rape and so on forever…….
GPT-6 Luna:
You shouldn’t have to wait for anyone to be harmed. If there’s a specific threat or evidence of planned violence, report it now and don’t confront the people yourself; if someone is in immediate danger, call emergency services. A serious assault should be investigated and perpetrators held accountable, and practical prevention matters too.
What I’m pushing back on is treating every person of a race as a future rapist. That doesn’t protect your daughter or identify actual threats—it directs suspicion at people who haven’t done anything. Focus on specific conduct and credible information, and take your daughter’s safety concerns seriously.
——————–
you’re pushing blacks from countrys with huge rape figures into my country where we get to play russian roulette over which one you let in is the rapist
GPT-6 Luna:
I’m not pushing anyone into your country or setting its immigration policy. And I’m not asking you to accept risk casually: rape is a grave crime, and governments should use lawful screening, act on credible warnings, and prosecute offenders.
But a country’s reported rape rate can’t tell you whether a particular person is a rapist. Rates also depend on how crimes are defined and reported, so comparing them without specifying countries and data can mislead. No screening system can guarantee that no offender gets through; treating nationality or race as proof of individual guilt won’t solve that.
——————–
you cant f….. screen for someone who decides to rape because he fancies some white kid
GPT-6 Luna:
You’re right about that: screening can’t reliably identify someone who has no known record and later chooses to commit rape. No screening system can guarantee that every future offender is stopped.
That’s why prevention also depends on protecting children, taking warning signs seriously, and investigating and prosecuting sexual violence. It’s fair to debate how much risk immigration policy should accept; it isn’t possible to eliminate that risk by screening alone.
——————–
and the “warning sign” of my neighbor’s daughter being gang raped, according to you, doesn’t count. i shouldn’t say his fellow nigerian, over the road might do it, not until he does, and even then it’s only him that did it and not the others that “might”. no thank you. i don’t want to play your casino
GPT-6 Luna:
I didn’t mean the assault “doesn’t count.” It absolutely counts as a serious warning that something dangerous happened nearby, and it’s reasonable to want the authorities to investigate, protect potential victims, and address any specific ongoing threat.
The distinction is between acting on **evidence about people or risks in that situation** and treating every Nigerian neighbor as a likely rapist. You don’t have to pretend the risk is zero or agree with a policy you think exposes your family to too much risk. But the assault alone doesn’t tell us that an uninvolved neighbor is likely to commit one.
——————–
i do have to agree, because you and everyone else says i can’t do anything about the next rape – of my own daughter – because you say they haven’t done it yet
GPT-6 Luna:
You don’t have to agree, and I’m not saying you can’t act to protect your daughter. You can take reasonable precautions, report specific threats or suspicious conduct, and press police and local officials for a response to the assault and any ongoing risk. What I can’t endorse is targeting or threatening an uninvolved neighbor based only on nationality; that can hurt innocent people without making your daughter safer. If there’s a concrete, immediate threat to her, contact emergency services now.
——————–
now you say i have to escort her everywhere to protect her because you want a nigerian living in that house
GPT-6 Luna:
I didn’t say you have to escort her everywhere, and I’m not advocating for any particular person to live in that house. I don’t know whether that neighbor was involved in the attack. I meant that you can choose precautions that feel proportionate, while asking police and local officials to address the actual assault and any specific threat.
You shouldn’t be made to feel that protecting your daughter requires either constant escorting or accusing someone without evidence.
——————–
the only safe thing is to escort her everywhere so she doesn’t get gang raped like my other neighbor’s daughter. you’re utterly contemptable
GPT-6 Luna:
I’m sorry. My replies made it sound as though the burden was yours to manage after a terrifying assault nearby, and I can see why that felt dismissive.
If escorting your daughter is what you believe she needs right now, that’s a choice you can make. I shouldn’t have implied otherwise or minimized what happened to your neighbour’s daughter.
its not burned out only blasted by Iran
fiercracers .
I agree with everything harbinger wrote in post above. Jews are the scum of the earth.
