Israelis abroad desperately try to head home to join military units, or just to help_我的网站

一 | LOS ANGELES -- At the most harrowing of times, some Israeli citizens living overseas aren't running from the war at home, but to it. From Athens to New York, they're rushing to airports and diving into online chat groups for help, desperate to make their way to the country after Hamas militants attacked. Some of these Israelis abroad are yearning to serve, whether that means fighting in a military reserve unit or volunteering to shuttle supplies to those in need, even as the war has already claimed at least 1,800 lives and shows no signs of abating. On Tuesday, Israel's military expanded its mobilization of reservists to 360,000, according to the country’s media, as it ramped up its retaliation for the surprise attacks. Yaakov Swisa, a 42-year-old father of five, said nobody called and asked him to return to Israel to fight, but he feels he has no choice. He served for 15 years, and he said he learned his army roommate was among at least 260 killed at a music festival. Swisa wants to rejoin his reserve unit, even if that means leaving his family and his construction-business job in Los Angeles. “I’ve been crying for two, three days. Enough. That’s it. I am ready to fight," he said. “What else would I do ... while my friends are being buried in Israel?”Some of the Israelis living, working or just traveling abroad who were trying to make it back said their reserve units were among those called up. Others said they hadn't yet been called or couldn't reach their commanders but expected to be asked soon. In other cases, Israelis who are too young to serve in the military, as well as non-Israelis with close ties to the country, have been trying to travel to assist family members or volunteer.Adam Jacobs, an 18-year-old community college student in New Jersey, said he was born and raised in the U.S. and for years traveled every summer to visit family in Israel. He said he learned his cousin was among those killed, and he wants to make his way to Israel to take on volunteer work, possibly shuttling supplies.“I couldn’t live with myself if I stayed here,” Jacobs said. “It’s never been this bad.”Eric Fingerhut, a former U.S. congressman who now leads The Jewish Federations of North America, said he’s not surprised by how many people want to help.“As soon as we can possibly enable that, we certainly will,” he said from Tel Aviv, where he'd arrived just before the weekend attacks. “There are many Israeli reservists who are abroad. And so getting them back home to join the fight, you know, has been a priority. And it should be a priority. So people are just scrambling.”The war began after Hamas militants stormed into Israel Saturday during a major Jewish holiday, killing people and abducting others. In response, Israeli warplanes have hammered the Gaza Strip, destroying buildings and sending Palestinian residents scrambling to find safety in the tiny, sealed-off territory. Travel has been challenging, with major airlines suspending flights in and out of Israel. The U.S. State Department issued travel advisories for the region. Some reservists in the United States, home to more than 140,000 people born in Israel, were trying to get on charter flights.Ofer Cohen, a New York businessman, said he learned there were more than 200 reservists traveling through South America on vacation at the time of the attacks. They've been called back to base but unable to get there, thanks to canceled flights. So Cohen is trying to cobble together hundreds of thousands of dollars to hire a plane to pick them up, as WhatsApp messages describing their troubles keep rolling in. “I just saw one after another,” he said, “and I thought about this idea of getting a charter plane and get them back to Israel.”In Greece, hundreds of people waited hours to board emergency flights at Athens International Airport, many without a ticket and most traveling from other European destinations after cutting holiday and work trips short. As officers patrolled the area to provide security, volunteers handed travelers apples, bananas and bottled water. Nir Ekhouse, a 19-year old from near Nazareth, had been in the Maldives with family. They reached Athens via Istanbul as they tried to make it home. Once there, Ekhouse said, he plans to volunteer for an organization that supports the military.“This is the first time in the history of Israel that something like that has happened. It’s very shocking,” he said, standing in line with his parents and younger siblings.Israel Lawrence, 27, was born in Israel and grew up in London. He said that although he hasn't been formally called up, he's making the trip to join his fellow soldiers, many already on the front lines, and help his family members, who are living in terror and chaos.“I want to be honest with you, I’m scared," said Lawrence, a trained rifleman who was on his way to Israel via Cyprus. "All the guys I’m with are terrified, but we are trained, and we’ll do the best we can.” __Hadjicostis reported from Nicosia, Cyprus. Taxin reported from Santa Ana, California.

二 | 设置内容显示为：“允许您的频道内容用于训练 Amazon 的生成式 AI 内容模型。”这一选项被隐藏在用户的安全和隐私设置中，并且默认自动开启。主播必须手动关闭该选项才能退出——但这并不能阻止 Twitch 将他们的频道内容用于平台《隐私声明》中列出的其他用途。Twitch 支持团队 (@TwitchSupport) 2026年8月12日：我们添加了一项设置，允许您选择不让您的频道内容被用于训练 Amazon 的生成式 AI 内容模型。点击此处了解更多信息：/C3G0Jt6m0D仅仅一周后，Amazon 和 Twitch 就在 2026 年 8 月 20 日提交给美国加利福尼亚北区联邦地区法院的一项集体诉讼中被正式列为被告。

三 | 在长达 37 页的诉状中，原告 Warren Pandiscia——一位拥有 900 多名粉丝的康涅狄格州 Twitch 主播——辩称，Amazon 通过自动将创作者纳入 AI 训练设置，“非法”抓取了创作者的内容，且未经其同意。“被告的行为不仅违法，而且是对内容创作者群体的肆意攻击。这些创作者的内容被用来推动价值数万亿美元的生成式 AI 行业，却未获得任何报酬，”诉状中写道。“像原告和集体成员这样的内容创作者，将永远无法收回被被告非法复制并用于训练 Amazon 生成式 AI 的知识产权。一旦 AI 摄取了内容，该内容就会存储在其神经网络中，无法删除或撤回。被告的行为构成了对内容创作者作品的滥用和剥削，以谋取被告的利益。”诉求的赔偿包括“所有可用的合同赔偿，包括实际赔偿、补偿性赔偿、间接赔偿和名义赔偿，以及法院认为公正合理的其他救济”，但未提及具体金额。就 Twitch 而言，它为其自动将创作者纳入 Amazon AI 训练的立场进行了辩护。在同一天播出的“更新日志（Patch Notes）”直播中，Twitch 首席产品官 Mike Minton 在回答有关该设置的问题时直言不讳地表示：“如果采用‘加入制（opt-in）’，就没有人会加入了。坦白说，这就是答案。”Twitch 的“账号设置常见问题”解释说，它利用用户内容训练 Amazon 的生成式 AI 是为了实现诸如“[完善]语音转文本模型，这将有助于改进 Twitch 的字幕，也有助于改进整个 Amazon 的字幕”以及“AI 支持的功能，如自动为您的剪辑生成字幕，但不会保留您的直播或剪辑来训练可以生成新内容的模型”等功能。截至发稿时，Twitch 尚未对该诉讼提供官方回应。
