Polls don’t lie? Think again. Now imagine this in the context of the claims that “Israel is committing genocide” or “there is a famine in Gaza.” These claims have been repeated so often, by politicians, journalists, activists, and supposedly credible institutions, that millions now accept them as established fact. But since when does repeating something make it true? Where is the evidence? Who verified it? And how much of what people believe is based on facts on the ground versus AI-generated images, misleading narratives, and outright fabrication? That is the danger. We are entering a world where an accusation can travel around the globe before anyone bothers to establish whether it is true. And once the lie becomes the accepted narrative, the facts may never catch up.
