Professor Nahon-Serfaty can talk about this topic from a communication standpoint.
“I find Trump's AI video about the "future Gaza" as grotesque as the horror shows that Hamas put in place in Gaza when releasing Israeli hostages, dead or alive. Both are propaganda tools insulting the dignity of the victims of this war started by Hamas and Palestinian Jihad on October 7, 2023.”

Associate professor, Political Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences
Professor Wills' areas of expertise are the United States and the Arab Middle East.
“US policy towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has consistently failed to fully take into account Palestinian suffering and political demands, but this turn in the discourse represents a new low in the dehumanization of Palestinians.”

"This is an outrageous work of Trump; he is advocating what is an international crime of ethnic cleansing."

Professor Stalcup and her doctoral candidate Khalil Habrih [email protected] are working on a research project on the political aesthetics of Trump's new administration.
"The AI-generated video of Trump’s Gaza exemplifies the political aesthetics and politics of MAGA, in which the understandable desire for a bright, shiny world is also a proposal for ethnically cleansing Palestine with fake gold."
