Title: Israel’s Disinformation Campaign Exposed on Social Media
Since October 7, Israel has been using the word “Panewood” on social media to spread falsehoods and disinformation about the situation in Palestine. This deliberate tactic, known as Hasbara, is aimed at shaping public opinion and garnering support for Israel through misleading content.
The campaign includes spreading the word that videos and photos coming from Palestine are fake and staged, using the term “Panewood” as a derogatory nod to Hollywood. Supporters of Israel and high-ranking officials have been using the hashtag #Panwood to promote pro-Israel news and perpetuate the notion that Palestinians are not real and their suffering is merely a theatrical performance.
One of the targets of this disinformation campaign was Saleh Al Jafaravi, a Palestinian journalist who has been calling out Israeli atrocities. The campaign attempted to discredit him by labeling his videos as fake and accusing him of being a “crisis actor.” However, Al Jafaravi continues to speak out against Israeli brutality in Gaza.
Several misleading stories, including a fake funeral and staged photos, have been debunked on social media. Despite the efforts of Israel’s disinformation campaign, journalists and content creators are working to expose the truth about the situation in Gaza.
While Israel continues to push its false narratives, the reality of the situation in Gaza is being documented and shared, proving that truth can prevail over fabricated stories. This disinformation campaign raises concerns about the impact of spreading falsehoods and the importance of fact-checking and verifying information before sharing it on social media.
