Washington Journal: Dina Sadek on Misinformation about the Israel-Hamas War

Dina Sadek, Middle East research fellow at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, discussed the false claims about the latest Israel-Hamas war that are proliferating across social media platforms.

Numerous Americans have called in questioning the veracity of this claim that babies were killed in Israel. Everybody knows that Hamas is a terrible group. Everybody knows that innocent Palestinians and Israelis have been killed by bad people throughout this decades long conflict.

In the lead up to the US intervention in Kuwait. After an Iraq had taken over Kuwait, a fake news story galvanized the minds of many people around the world, suggesting that Iraqi troops had removed baby some Kuwaiti incubators. It was proven to be a false story.

THE KUWAITI INCUBATOR HOAX​

A Washington Post news story incorrectly stated that Middle East Watch, a division of Human Rights Watch, "had initially embraced the stories" of Iraqi troops killing babies in incubators in Kuwait {"Brown Protege in Confirmation Fight: Fitz-Pegado Queried Over Gulf War Lobbying, Atrocity Claims," Feb. 11}.
In fact, Middle East Watch, both in testimony before Congress during the crisis and in its published reports, never accepted this story. At the outset, we investigated and then dismissed the obviously false tales of hundreds of babies thrown out of incubators by Iraqi troops.

Now, all of us are aware of this alleged incident of the Hamas Soldiers decapitating babies, killing babies. No proof has been shown …its only in reports, and we’d even heard from some Israeli officials they can’t verify the reports.

The point is as many of us know is information is usually the first casualty of war.

Please keep this in mind because there are bad players in both Israel and Palestine providing misinformation. There have been videos of violence against children from different wars and video games being shown all over the Internet to attempt to prove the decapitated babies story from Israel.

All of us should be aware that disinformation is used for both sides in a time of war.

Misinformation point - Iran supports Palestinians


Counter -Well, why isn’t Iran sending in tens of thousands of humanitarian people to provide a corridor for Palestine civilians?

Why isn’t the Iranian government using millions of dollars to send in tons of food packages to Palestinian people?

The Iran gov is a bad player and engaging in this conflict to better themselves and enrich themselves. Point is they don’t actually care about the Palestinian people. Same with Hamas leaders

Yes, you are a Muzzie pretending to be a Christian. I would think this is already apparent to all but the most stupid leftists.

True Re: Iran----but Hamas is "palestinian people" So what is
the point of your post? You want to demonstrate your INSIGHT?

Somebody named Dina Sadek found a fake story that almost nobody ever heard of, promoted during the Clinton administration and that story somehow reflects on hundreds of reports about murder and mutilation by Hamas savages today? WTF?

have you ever heard the exprssion---"scraping the bottom of

[leftwinger]

I remain unconvinced of many things reported. How 29 wall breaches? Cameras disabled but other cameras not pick it up? Bulldozers get right to border fence? Huh? Israel let it go on for many hours? Right at a youth concert?

they showed a crib as “evidence”. But barely any blood on the bedding to match with head cut off.

like the OO implies?…..be careful to believe it all right away.

One of the more despicable things about the left is they bring up points as if they were academic discussions when, in truth, it is what they believe and are too cowardly to say it themselves.

Do you feel all safe and immune from criticism now??

And the equivocation of the left is even more despicable. "Yeah, X is bad but so is Y''.

To which I would like to reply with a resounding, "GFY, bitch!"

 

[elektra]

Yes, I am well aware of misinformation or as mist of us call it, PROPAGANDA.

A terrible group of bad people

No, it is an army of hamas that literally tied children together than shot them while their parents watched.

Bad people on both sides, you are full of shit.

There are no words to describe an army that purposely kill children.

 

[FranklinRoosevelt_FTW]

Yes, you are a Muzzie pretending to be a Christian. I would think this is already apparent to all but the most stupid leftists.

I’m not worried about that buddy. Have a nice day.

Please pray for the people of Palestine. Lord Jesus, help our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

You can engage in personal attacks all you want and making things up About me it doesn’t bother me one
bit.

Are you Jewish?

 

[Edgetho]

This is 'ironic' to the point of macabre humor. Like a sick message. Sad but at the same time.... Well -- I guess you really can 'fix stupid'

Minnesota woman who protested Israel's incursions into Gaza is killed

Cindy Flash, 67, and Igal Flash, 66, were killed inside a safe room at their home inside the community of Kfar Aza, a southern kibbutz close to the border with Gaza.

Those are excellent points. It is pretty much exactly what so many people are asking. The conservative Charlie Kirk said he believes it’s possible that people in the IDF gave standdown orders. There’s all sorts of political upheaval in Israel. What more perfect time for a war that has now forms in emergency government. They were supposed to be protests with tens of thousands of people in Israel protesting the government that ain’t happening now.

This stuff is totally taking over the media in America 24 seven. At a time when we have 100,000 Americans dying each year from drug use. We have an invasion of our southern border they’re bringing in all sorts of bad things. Inflation is a problem in America, people can’t afford homes and the media is talking nonstop about Israelpalestine.

That was what first came to mind when I heard the story. I have heard too that the pictures of the burned babies were AI creations

I think there’s good people on both sides. I’ve said many times. You know my friend I can’t help if people assume things about me. It’s not my problem. I support Donald Trump like many of the posters here.

Agreed 100%. You know what extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence, and we have not seen the evidence. I mean what more can be said here we all remember the fake news about the incubator hoax during the Kuwait war.

No need for me to repeat the points in the original post.

I will add I’m simply reminded of the incubator hoax during the Kuwait war when it comes to this claim about babies being beheaded in Israel. Not that it didn’t happen, but extraordinary claims demands extraordinary evidence.

You have brothers and sisters in "palestine"?
Gaza is not considered part of "palestine" As far
as I recall----way back in the 1950s it was considered
part of Egypt but Egypt did not want people who self
identified as "palestinians" which happened sometime
in the 1960s. Egypt still does not want them---The country
is building a cement barrier against them.

These are some of the good people from Hamas
