 Aside from a photograph contradicting Amira Hass' claim that the Samouni family could not remove casualties for two weeks, there's another problem with her story: a key passage is plagiarized from B'Tselem. And, in yet another egregious ethical breach, Ha'aretz quietly scrubs its online article. | | ...More |

 A Washington Times columnist, Arnaud de Borchgrave, tied a possible Israeli attack on Iran's presumed nuclear weapons program to the U.S. presidential election, and cited an Israeli source as downplaying the Iranian threat.

 The competing "narratives" about the War of Independence lie at the heart of the Arab-Israeli conflict. If, as the Arabs and most Europeans believe, Israel was born in original sin, if the Jews really did ransack placid Arab villages, then Arab hatred for Israel would be understandable, as would their fundamental refusal to really make peace.
But the Arab narrative is wrong – Israel was not born in original sin. Once the Arabs finally face the facts, a peaceful end to the conflict might be possible. | | ...More |

 The Washington Post reported an Ha'aretz interview with the Israeli military's chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Benjamin Gantz, as front page news.

The Journal of Palestine Studies published a falsified quote, which historian Ilan Pappé attributed to David Ben-Gurion.

But Sachar was referring to Israelis who thought that only in Israel could a full Jewish life be lived. His refererence was not even remotely concerned with dual loyalties. | | ...More |

Israel’s adversaries have always charged the country with misdeeds, but only relatively recently have these alleged evils coalesced into the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS), modeled after the campaign against apartheid South Africa. As a detailed examination shows, the apartheid charges are utterly false. The activists who level these charges deserve no credibility. | | ...More |

Washington Journal, a daily public affairs program with viewer phone-ins, has become a platform for the defamation of Israel and Jews. C-SPAN hosts often sit passively, tolerating bigoted callers, many of whom violate the network's ostensible one-call-per-thirty-days rule. C-SPAN executives including Susan Swain and Rob Kennedy, like network founder Brian Lamb before them, for several years have stonewalled public complaint over Washington Journal's chronic enabling of such bigotry.
