Images and videos from past conflicts are being misappropriated and circulated online, undermining the true toll of the Israel-Gaza war. These misrepresentations not only diminish the experiences of victims past and present but also cast doubt on legitimate evidence of atrocities. Photographs and videos taken out of context are a common form of misinformation, with examples including images of dead Syrian children falsely portrayed as Palestinians killed by Israeli forces. The misappropriation of such visuals can lead to revictimization and retraumatization, while also eroding trust in genuine evidence of human rights abuses.
