A fellow researcher couldn’t bring themselves to watch a graphic video—and asked me to verify it. I did, but does that have a cost? This piece explores the toll the work takes and what it means when violence becomes just another scroll.

If you know of an exhibit, museum, or academic researcher seeking historical documents, I’d be happy to loan pieces from my collection, which focuses on early Zionism (pre-Israel), Palestinian Nationalism, IDF fought wars, and Mandatory Palestine.

Two weeks ago, I had the privilege of representing
@fakereporter.bsky.social at Limmud 2024, where I discussed the critical challenges we face daily—from managing the spread of fake news during crises to understanding the severe repercussions of misinformation that we share and spread online.

Heading to the UK to give three lectures and lead a panel discussion, covering topics I’ve explored here extensively: the dangers of fake news, how to identify it, and the psychological warfare tactics behind it.
See you there!

This sounds serious, right?
That a "Trump Insider" told the Daily Mail that drones spotted in NJ are part of a government project called “Blue Beam”—a conspiracy claiming the government will fake an alien invasion to enforce a global totalitarian regime.
Only issue? They didn’t.

This has been a real issue with X - As I always include sources with links in my analysis/debunk posts.
It is so incredibly nice to have a social platform that values links again - a breath of fresh air in the poisoned ecosystem of the creator economy

I found this piece roughly 10 years ago, and have always wondered what it belonged to. I assume it was a part of some type of artillery shell?
It was found in a forest next to Karmiel in northern Israel - Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Other than analyzing reports, images, and videos posted on this platform for mis/disinformation - What else could I post that could be unique to this platform?

I am excited to share that, as a representative of FakeReporter, I’ll be leading 4 sessions at the 2024 Limmud Festival in the UK this December.
Topics will include media literacy, the spread of fake news during a crisis, and how disinformation fuels chaos and violence.
