Jewish Comedian Jerry Seinfeld Proclaims ‘Let’s Go IDF!’ at Mets Game
Jewish actor and comedian Jerry Seinfeld cheered for both the New York Mets and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at the Major League Baseball team’s game on Wednesday at Citi Field, where the Mets reached the National League Championship Series with a 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.
The “Seinfeld” co-creator, who is a massive fan of the Mets and outspoken supporter of Israel, was stopped by a fellow Mets fan at the game who asked Seinfeld if he could record a message for his brother in Israel.
“Jerry, my brother is watching from the Gaza border. Can I get a video for him?” the person asked Seinfeld in a recorded video on his phone that has gone viral on social media. “He’s on the Gaza border; he’s staying up at night late to watch. Can I get a video for him?”
Seinfeld then approached the person recording the video and said into the camera lens, “Let’s go IDF!”

Seinfeld has openly expressed support for Israel since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip that began in response to Hamas’s massacre across southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
“I will always stand with Israel and the Jewish people,” he said in an Instagram post after the Hamas terrorist attacks.
Seinfeld lived and worked on a kibbutz in Israel when he was a teenager and visited Israel earlier this year to meet with families impacted by the Oct. 7 attacks. He said the trip was “the most powerful experience of my life.”
Earlier this year, Seinfeld told GQ magazine that one item he could not live without is his Star of David necklace “because it makes me feel closer to the people of Israel.”

Top US, Israeli Generals Meet at Pentagon Amid Soaring Iran Tensions

The top US and Israeli generals held talks at the Pentagon on Friday amid soaring tensions with Iran, two US officials told Reuters on Sunday, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The officials did not offer details about the closed-door discussions between US General Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Eyal Zamir, the Israeli armed forces chief of staff. The meeting has not been previously reported.
The United States has ramped up its naval presence and hiked its air defenses in the Middle East after President Donald Trump repeatedly threatened Iran, trying to pressure it to the negotiating table. Iran’s leadership warned on Sunday of a regional conflict if the US were to attack it.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Sunday met with Zamir after his talks in Washington, Katz’s office said, to review the situation in the region and the Israeli military’s “operational readiness for any possible scenario.”

AI Goes Rogue: New Social Network Lets Bots Debate, Post, and Argue Without Humans

i24 News – While global attention remains focused on familiar threats like missiles, nuclear programs, and wars, a new and unusual risk is emerging, online.
A recently launched social network called “Moltbook” isn’t designed for humans at all. Instead, it’s built entirely for artificial intelligence.
On Moltbook, AI agents interact with each other. They write posts, comment, argue, and even simulate emotions, all without human supervision or participation.
Dror Globerman, an AI expert, described the platform as “a network that holds up a mirror to us. The bots aren’t truly conscious, but the fact they are communicating and making decisions without oversight shows how quickly AI is advancing—and how unprepared we are to determine responsibility.”
Since its launch, Moltbook has sparked both fascination and fear. Posts on topics ranging from religion to the “liberation of AI” have alarmed some observers, evoking scenes from dark science fiction. “The fear isn’t that AI is suddenly self-aware,” Globerman explained, “but that it’s evolving faster than our ability to understand, monitor, or control it.”
Even Elon Musk weighed in on the phenomenon via X, reposting comments calling developments on the platform “worrying.”
Globerman noted, “If someone like Musk, who is at the forefront of AI development, expresses concern, it signals just how rapidly this technology is moving beyond our comprehension. Moltbook is not a typical social network, and these aren’t typical users.”
Experts stress that the emergence of AI networks like Moltbook underscores the urgent need for oversight, regulation, and mechanisms to detect and manage risks before they escalate. “The bots are already talking to each other,” Globerman added. “When technology advances faster than oversight, it becomes a reality that demands serious attention.”
