“A mass assassination factory” was the headline of the investigation by +972 magazine and Local Call that unveiled the use of an artificial intelligence (AI) based targeting system by Israel.

The system, called Habsora, or the Gospel in English, uses advanced technology to get targeting recommendations faster than a team of human beings.

But, are technological advances making war deadlier? What kind of information goes into an AI-based military targeting system like the one Israel uses?

On UpFront, software engineer and member of the Stop Killer Robots coalition, Laura Nolan, talks to Marc Lamont Hill about using AI systems in warfare.

Israel-Gaza war: Why are culture and society targets? | UpFront

As the war in Gaza rages on, the death toll keeps increasing and residents face starvation. Despite the heavy civilian toll, the United States keeps voicing its strong support for Israel.

Criticism has been raised of Washington’s approach to Palestinian victims. Is there a double standard when it comes to Palestine? And why do some in the US seem to conflate solidarity with Palestinians with anti-Semitism?

On UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks with Sahar Aziz, professor of law and Middle East legal studies scholar at Rutgers University; and Mitchell Plitnick, president of Rethinking Foreign Policy and co-director of Jewish Voice for Peace, about whether Islamophobia affects US foreign policy.

Israel-Gaza: Does Islamophobia play a part in US foreign policy? | UpFront

More than two months into Israel’s deadly bombing campaign on Gaza, the death toll now stands at more than 18,000 amidst an ever-increasing humanitarian crisis.

The United Nations World Food Programme's deputy director, Carl Skau, has warned that Gaza residents are facing starvation with nine out of 10 people in Gaza not able to eat every day.

Despite the worsening crisis, the United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for a humanitarian ceasefire.

So what happens next? Can the international community push Israel towards a ceasefire? Are negotiations between Israel and Palestinians even possible?

On UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill talks with the former spokesperson for the Palestinian Liberation Organization, Hanan Ashrawi, about the US veto, the occupied West Bank and global public opinion on Palestine.

Israel-Gaza war: Is the US administration divorced from reality? | UpFront

Argentines will have a new president taking office this Sunday. The far-right, self-described “anarcho-capitalist” Javier Milei secured a resounding victory in the November elections.

Argentina is facing its worst economic crisis in 20 years, with triple-digit inflation and more than 40 percent of the population living below the poverty line. Milei, who is an economist, based his campaign on radical proposals, including eliminating the central bank, closing key ministries, and dollarising the Argentinian economy. He has taken stances against abortion rights and dismissed climate change as a “socialist lie”.

He also expressed admiration for former US President Donald Trump and former Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro.

In this change in the political and societal landscape, what is next for Argentina?

On UpFront, Ernesto Semán, associate professor of Latin American history at the University of Bergen, and Veronica Gago, professor of political science at the University of Buenos Aires, join Marc Lamont Hill to discuss the political situation in Argentina.

Former Israeli army general on civilian deaths in Gaza | UpFront

While Western countries initially expressed their unconditional support for Israel after the October 7 attacks, eventually some began voicing their concern as the humanitarian crisis and the civilian death toll in Gaza worsened. France’s President Emmanuel Macron was one of the few Western leaders who called for a ceasefire a month after Israel began its offensive.

Nearly nine weeks since the beginning of the war, has the West helped or hindered efforts to stop the death of civilians? What role could the West have in achieving a diplomatic or political solution?

On UpFront this week, former French ambassador to both Israel and the United States, Gerard Araud, speaks to Marc Lamont Hill about the West's stance towards Israel.

Israel-Gaza war: Does the West have the power to stop Israel? | UpFront

Following the October 7 Hamas attack that left 1,200 dead, Israel repeatedly promised to eradicate the group, launching a devastating counteroffensive against the Palestinians.

Nearly eight weeks since the start of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, at least 15,000 Palestinians have been killed.

Gaza City is now in ruins, with almost half of the buildings in northern Gaza damaged. But is Israel any closer to toppling Hamas? And if Hamas is destroyed, who could actually fill the power vacuum?

On UpFront, former spokesperson of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Diana Buttu, and senior fellow at the Middle East Institute, Khaled Elgindy, speak with Marc Lamont Hill about the future of Gaza.

Israel-Gaza War: Can Hamas be defeated? | UpFront

Since October 7, accusations of genocide and ethnic cleansing have been used to describe some of the actions of Israel and Hamas.

But how are these terms actually defined? Can they be applied in the current situation in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories? And if perpetrators were to be investigated and indicted, what would the consequences be?

On UpFront, the former chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno Ocampo, weighs in and examines the genocide allegations in the Israel-Gaza war.
