Episode: 40 Beheaded Babies? - Miss Informational with Rebekah Jones
Description: The world was rocked by the news of the Hamas attacks in Israel. While the region has had much strife over the decades, this is the first major conflict in the new era of social media and disinformation. One item that spread like wildfire was the assertion Hamas beheaded the 40 babies. Miss Informational Rebekah Jones and co-host Dr. Cindy Banyai dive into the allegation and the use of such inflammatory claims to drive dehumanization and rationalization in conflicts. They reach the bottom line that killing civilians or children in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is unacceptable.
