The Israel-Hamas War Is Drowning X in Disinformation::People who have turned to X for breaking news about the Israel-Hamas conflict are being hit with old videos, fake photos, and video game footage at a level researchers have never seen.
Disinformation about Israel is practically all anyone ever sees.
Consider that there are less than 16 million Jews in the world, and 475 million Arabs/ 2 Billion Muslims.
In this conflict that’s largely viewed as Jewish vs Arab or Jewish versus Muslim, Jewish voices are drowned out by either 30:1 or 125:1.
Israel is the only country in the region where lesbian Muslim woman can wear what she wants, vote, live in peace, and become an elected official.
But when you have 30:1 voices in the world making bullshit claims of apartheid, posting misleading infographics, and generally creating an atmosphere of overwhelming 1-sided sentiment it’s really easy to see why Israel is vilified.
Israel doing the longest military occupation in modern history isn’t bullshit.
Agreed. It would be pretty cool if the Palestinians would accept one of the many peace offers that have come their way.
