The problem is that some of these individuals have begun to deal with tragedies using the logic of likes and views, where the race for engagement takes precedence over the responsibility of verification, and people's suffering is turned into material for misinformation and mobilization. We all know that not everything published is true, not every image is evidence, and the frequent circulation of a narrative does not make it correct; especially when materials of unknown origin are used to incite anger and level accusations without verification.
It is regrettable that Jordan's humanitarian stances toward our Syrian brothers are met with campaigns aimed at distorting Jordan or offending its people. The Kingdom has embraced large numbers of Syrian refugees, and Jordanians have shared their resources and capabilities with them despite economic and living challenges. This is not a favor, but a humanitarian stance that reflects the authenticity of Jordanian society and deserves to remain present in the shared memory of both peoples.
Yes, it is not fair to hold the Syrian people responsible for the positions of some activists and accounts, just as it is unacceptable to exploit the pain of Jordanians after the Karak tragedy to promote narratives that serve the discourse of extremist groups seeking to sow discord between the two peoples.
Jordan has the right to protect its security and hold those involved in terrorism accountable according to evidence and legal procedures, and everyone has the right to discuss its operations and policies. However, the standard must remain the same, far from rumors, political exploitation, and incitement. As for the parties seeking to ignite strife between Jordanians and Syrians, whether they are extremists or those exploiting the digital space for other goals, they will certainly not succeed.
In conclusion, Jordan, which shared bread and safety with the Syrians, does not deserve to be met with misinformation, and the Syrians who suffered the ravages of war do not deserve to have their voices hijacked by accounts seeking likes at the expense of the truth. We must also know that the most dangerous thing tragedies can leave behind is not pain alone, but turning into strife that dissipates what years of neighborliness and solidarity have built. Truth is a responsibility, the word is a trust, and the brotherhood between peoples is too great to be left hostage to rumors by those who trade in people's pain. Therefore, don't even try.
