"All Eyes on Lexington and Concord:" How Social Media Changes War with Daniel Farber
Manage episode 422262652 series 2716171
About a week ago, half of my social media shared the now-viral AI image with text that read "All Eyes on Rafah." The other half shared another viral AI image, "Where were your eyes on October 7th?" This contrast underscored our state of division as we find ourselves injesting more and more conflicting news on the war in Israel each day.
My guest on this podcast, Daniel Farber, lives in Jerusalem, Israel, and was there with his family on October 7th and on each day since. His commentary on how social media effects how we interpret war stems from his own personal experience, as well as a stunning experiment he conducted on instagram. Daniel served in the IDF and has extensive commentary on those videos you might be seeing of Israeli soldiers in Gaza. Tune in e to hear what he wants everyone to understand about what they're seeing unfold on TikTok, one 15-second video at a time.
