Unmasking the War on Truth

Inside Israel’s Battle Against Media Bias and Misinformation

While Israel was fighting a war on the ground, another fierce battle was raging in the headlines.

From slanted reporting to selective outrage, misinformation has fueled public perception and shaped global opinion about Israel’s right to defend itself.

Join Gil Hoffman, founder of HonestReporting.com and veteran Jerusalem Post journalist, for an eye-opening insider’s look at how Israel’s story is told—and too often distorted—by the international media.

Hoffman will share firsthand insights from the frontlines of both the military conflict in Gaza and the media war that followed, exposing how narratives are crafted, facts manipulated, and truth defended in an age of viral propaganda.

Discover how HonestReporting is working to hold journalists accountable, correct falsehoods, and ensure Israel’s voice is heard with clarity and integrity around the world.
