The video (here, here, here) goes viral on social media showing a massive rally with the Palestinian flag, allegedly from a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Japan. Let's uncover the truth behind this video.
Claim: Viral video shows a large pro-Palestinian rally in Japan.
fact: The video is generated by AI and does not display actual visuals from Japan. Analysis using SynthID and Hive confirmed that it is likely to be generated. Although genuine pro-Palestin protests are being held in Japan, this video has nothing to do with those events. Therefore, the argument is Misunderstanding.
A thorough review of the video revealed some inconsistencies. The distribution of crowds is illogical, with an unnaturally uniform human density, with no gaps or variations in movement. This is a feature that contradicts the realistic nature of the actual demonstration and the common ones in AI-generated videos.
The reverse image search led to the original upload and turned out to be a blend of two clips posted to the Tiktok account hassan_morningStar (here and here).
We analyzed using SynthID and Hive to determine the authenticity of the video and whether it was generated or deep in AI. Synthid identified it as generating it to AI, while Hive showed a 98.4% chance that it would be generated to AI. Based on this evidence, it is clear that the video was artificially produced.
Furthermore, there have been actual protests in Japan, with recent protests against Gaza's starvation in July 2025 supporting the termination of genocide and recent protests against Gaza's starvation. However, the viral video does not connect to any of these protests.
In summary, the video generated by AI in large protests is shared as a sign of a pro-Palestinian rally in Japan.
