Oman- In an attempt to cast doubt on the Israeli narrative directed at Western societies, and taking advantage of the state of change in global public opinion after it was stirred by feelings of anger and rejection as a result of the scenes of destruction and aggression on the Gaza Strip, Jordanian volunteer groups are seeking to respond to what is published in the Western media space, and adopt the Israeli narrative without verification.
In record time, the digital database “Palestine Answers” (Palestine Answers), which specializes in refuting false information about the Palestinian issue via the Internet, achieved a noticeable increase in the number of its users, with thousands of visitors flocking to its website.
According to those in charge of the site, the launch of the open-source, documented platform came in a realistic and concise manner, in response to the massive spread of misleading information and false propaganda regarding the tragedy of the Palestinian people, and the ongoing genocide against civilians in the Gaza Strip.
Arabs’ message to the West
The website mainly targets Western public opinion, and provides them with accurate information. The website provides the browser with a database in English, and contributes to unifying the messages submitted by the Arab public in support of the Palestinian cause on social media to share them on a global level.
The founder of the site, Imad Al-Shawa, confirms that the platform provides the user with short answers “in response to the false Zionist narrative,” especially those related to history or the Palestinian Nakba, all the way to matters related to the events of last October 7, and the massacres committed by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip. .
Al-Shawa added in his interview with Al-Jazeera Net that he found a great response from many parties, institutions and individuals, noting that more than 70 Israeli claims were refuted, and hundreds of responses related to the false Israeli narrative were provided.
He explained that the site addresses its audience in English, and that most of the site’s visitors are from the United States, Canada, and Europe, and with the passage of time there will be many other languages.
Shawa pointed out that artificial intelligence will be used to answer questions posed by the user, and to suggest answers and responses to Zionist allegations on an ongoing basis.
In his opinion, the “Bali Answers” platform represents one of the tools that has been launched recently to fight the “media battle” against the Israeli narrative, which aims to push the Western world to ignore holding Israel accountable, and to give it the green light for the continuation of the occupation and its racist policies against the Palestinians.
The past months have witnessed a media movement on the website, with the aim of working to provide an effective database to enable users to confront official Israeli-sponsored misinformation and propaganda campaigns, which are used as a weapon against the Palestinian people, especially on social media platforms.
“information war”
In the opinion of the activists running the website, it increasingly confirms the lack of credibility of the Israeli narrative, and seeks to “empower people to confront the Zionist lies through brief facts during this media war.” It is also important to educate the largest possible number of people, through facts and information on the earth.
The platform is easily accessible via the website, and contains pages divided according to some basic aspects of the Palestinian issue, such as the history of Palestine, the Nakba, the Israeli occupation, systematic ethnic cleansing in the occupied territories, and apartheid, in addition to other pivotal issues.
The site allows you to contribute a growing stock of refutations, appeals and answers aimed at revealing the truth, in a process that is carefully monitored by the editorial team to ensure accuracy, and to also ensure that the platform’s content is constantly updated and expanded to remain on the lookout and follow up on false narratives.
Those working on the platform are committed to working seriously and diligently to provide users with documented and referenced information with links to relevant sources, to enable them to engage in a larger movement to combat misleading information online.
The database also covers a wide range of key issues related to the current aggression, while continuing its efforts to expand the network of volunteers working on creating content to enhance its reach and leave the desired impact.
