#Chanukah History. #JewishHistory: Thread. /1

Here is your reminder that modern #antisemitism is not about #Judaism the religion, but about #Jews, the people.

We can't stop the bad actors but to everyone else can you please, please, please in the name of all that is good and just, stop sharing disinformation. Better to share nothing than to share lies. 💔

Very disappointing that a conspiracy theory was either not spotted, or spotted but allowed unchallenged, by such a seasoned journalist.

I used to believe (and maybe it was true at some point) that "the truth will out" but now that is not the case anymore. The more time, the more chance to obscure, spin and downright lie.

💥The families of Israeli hostages held in Gaza have begun a march from Tel Aviv to the prime minister's office in Jerusalem

The information warfare happening not just on Israel-Palestine specifically but broadly on the Middle East has gone from super emotional to super malicious to super bizarre in the span of just a month. It feels like it's been years. Definitely a future case study.

I’ve written this piece for the FT about the challenges we face globally with disinformation and the urgent need of a systematic approach to address the root causes of the creation and spread of disinformation, and the positive opportunities that offers.
