Two recent Washington Post reports violate basic standards of both journalism and common sense. The newspaper continues to give undue credibility to terrorist groups and to pretend that their media operatives are reporters.
Israel has recently celebrated the 75th anniversary of its recreation. Israel's existence, CAMERA tells the Washington Times, is a miracle. For more than seven decades the Jewish state has fought those opposed to its very right to exist.
A USA Today report on a U.S. Congressional trip to Israel offers an example of good, old-fashioned journalism. The newspaper avoided editorializing and refrained from inserting commentary while providing readers with essential information.
The Washington Post's world view on Israel is profoundly distorted. The newspaper's vaunted foreign affairs columnist is once again depriving Palestinians of independent agency, omitting their leadership's predilection for supporting terror and rejecting peace.
The U.S.-backed Palestinian Authority is led by an unpopular kleptocrat, Mahmoud Abbas. But as CAMERA tells Jewish Policy Center's InFocus Magazine, the end of Abbas's rule is coming, one way or the other. And the U.S. would be well advised to plan for the chaos that is likely to follow.
As CAMERA tells the Washington Free Beacon, the 1936 Arab Revolt was, in fact, the first Palestinian intifada, and it made a tragic template for what was to come. Boycotts, rejecting peace and statehood, seeking arms from anti-Western autocrats, Palestinian leaders have been doing all of these things for nearly a century.
Iran is growing increasingly bold. The world's leading state sponsor of terrorism has launched more than eighty attacks against U.S. service members and bases in the last two years. As CAMERA tells the Washington Examiner this will have profound consequences for both the U.S. and key regional allies like Israel.
The Washington Post used four reporters and expensive 3D imagery to conduct an investigation into a recent IDF counterterrorist operation in which both terrorists and civilians were killed. Yet, the Post relied almost exclusively on anti-Israel sources and failed to provide essential context about why the raid was taking place.
The Washington Post used the holiday of Purim to attack the Jewish state. As bad, the newspaper insists on distorting and misleading about recent terrorist attacks and casualties.
A U.S.-based nonprofit is hailing terrorist attacks against Israelis. The New York chapter of Al Awda has gone beyond the usual apologias for Palestinian terrorists. The group has openly mourned several Palestinian terrorists who were killed in a recent Israeli counterterror operation.
