Welcome to Gist Notes! This episode exposes the information war at the heart of the Israel–Palestine conflict — a war fought not only with bombs, but with narratives, media, and disinformation.
We examine a Washington Post cartoon that portrayed Palestinians in a dehumanizing way, explore how unverified stories like the “beheaded babies” claim spread globally, and trace how these narratives are weaponized to justify policies and military actions.
From Iraq’s WMD lies in 2003 to Israel’s Al-Shifa Hospital claims, history shows that whoever controls the story controls the world’s perception of right and wrong.
This deep dive uncovers how discrediting, dehistoricizing, and dehumanizing tactics are used in modern conflicts, and how media, political power, and public sentiment intertwine to shape global realities.
📌 This is Episode 7 in our in-depth series on the Palestinian crisis.
