Al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day in Iran continues to be celebrated annually with marches and cries of “Death to America!” and “Death to Israel!” This year's event took place during the conclusion of U.S.-led talks with Iran over its nuclear program. Not all major media noticed. 
An Op-Ed by a former Baltimore Sun foreign correspondent on the invitation to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak to the U.S. Congress about Iran's nuclear program suffered from Israel derangement syndrome. A CAMERA letter to the editor provided an antidote. The Baltimore Sun said murders at a Jerusalem synagogue deserved “the world’s unequivocal condemnation.” Then it equivocated. CAMERA did not.

News media suffered a melt-down in covering the 2014 Israel-Hamas war. Many veteran journalists said so.
The Baltimore Sun’s television critic had high praise for Al-Jazeera America’s coverage of Israeli-Hamas fighting in Gaza. Goes to show you can’t believe everything you see … The Baltimore Sun’s editorial “A dangerous turning point in Israel” (July 8) early in “Operation Protective Edge,” erroneously posited mirror-image “growing vigilantism in Israel and the occupied territories.” A CAMERA letter, “False equivalence” (July 12) corrected those distortions.Early news reporting about Iranian president-elect Hassan Rouhani tossed around "moderate," "pragmatist" and "centrist." It was left too often to opinion writers and think tank analysts to supply journalistic details. A Baltimore Sun Op-Ed, using Israel's "Pillar of Defense" operation against Hamas as news peg, blamed Israel for a host of Middle East ills. CAMERA's letter to the editor "Criticism of Israel ignores the facts" set the record straight. A Baltimore Sun commentary properly criticized support among some in the Presbyterian Church USA for divestment from companies doing business in Israel. But a CAMERA letter spotlighted the writer's mistaken equivalence of Palestinian and Israeli grievances.
