Israel-Hamas: verifying truth in the fog of war
Episode 12
Wednesday, 20 December, 2023

The Israel-Hamas war has proven to be a particularly fraught conflict on social media.Finding out what’s happening on the ground has been complicated by a number of issues: the divisiveness of the debate on both sides, and how entrenched each viewpoint is; the ease with which alternative narratives are broadcast; and the immediate emotional responses that content can trigger. In this, the last episode of the series, host Chris Stokel-Walker speaks to Valerie Wirtschafter, a Fellow in Foreign Policy and the Artificial Intelligence Initiative at the Brookings Institution about the solutions to these issues and how we can verify truth in the fog of war.Producers: Christopher Hooton and Nicola Kelly.Find out more about ARTICLE 19's work and follow us on:Twitter: https://twitter.com/article19org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ARTICLE19org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/article19/
