CNN Sanitizes Antisemitic Terrorism

CAMERA Op-Ed: International Law Association Prioritizes Anti-Israel Propaganda over Debate

AP Improves Coverage After Downplaying Hezbollah Attacks on Israeli Civilians, Obscuring Terrorist Fatalities
AP's initial misreporting downplayed Hezbollah attacks targeting Israeli civilians and also obscured Hezbollah losses. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis sought shelter from Hezbollah attacks, not thousands. Previous Hezbollah barrages did not mainly aim at military targets. And Hezbollah lost 16 top members -- not just one -- in Friday's Beirut strike.

The Washington Post: Murdering Jews is ‘Armed Resistance’
A recent Washington Post report calls terrorism merely “armed resistance,” echoing language used by Hamas and its apologists.

Bloomberg: Ceasefire Deal To Exchange Hostages, Palestinian ‘Political Prisoners’

BDS Lies: Exposing 45 False Claims in the Brown University Divestment Proposal

The Washington Post, BDS, and ‘Blank Page Journalism’

Forbes’ Al Aqsa Libel: Ben-Gvir, 100s of Jewish Israelis ‘Enter’ Mosque

UPI, McClatchy Remove Erroneous References to Hostages as ‘Prisoners’

Since its Botched Al-Ahli Hospital Coverage, CNN Has Only Gotten Worse
CNN clearly understands that bad journalism not only does a disservice to its audience, but it also puts innocent civilians in danger. So, what are we to make of the fact that these reporters are knowingly repeating the same mistakes?
AP Adrift: The Houthis’ Maritime ‘Retaliation’ & Hamas’ ‘Relative Moderate’

CAMERA Op-Ed: The Post-Political Lives of Anti-Israel Politicians
Jamaal Bowman, the anti-Israel Congressman from New York's 16th Congressional District, has lost his primary fight.

Hamas’s Haniyeh: The Media’s “Moderate” Murderer?

Hezbollah Massacres Children and the Washington Post Blames Israel

The New Wall Street Journal – Chasing Clicks with Anti-Israel Bias
The growing, undeniable tilt against Israel in Wall Street Journal news coverage since the October 7 Hamas attack on the Jewish state appears connected to a change in focus under a new Editor-in-Chief, Emma Tucker.

CAMERA Op-Ed: Israel’s Message to Hezbollah
Israel has reportedly taken out a mid-level Hezbollah operative in Syria. But as CAMERA tells the Washington Examiner, the strike is a message to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah: escalate at your own risk.

Far too many of the network’s reporters are more interested in reporting a narrative of the conflict, rather than the reality.
The Bias of Meta’s Oversight Board
The Board’s questionable handling of the public engagement process over moderating the term "shaheed" does not inspire confidence that these issues are being fairly or fully considered. With upcoming Board recommendations on moderating the phrase “from the river to the sea” and how to handle the use of the term “Zionists” when compared to criminality, it is clear that the Board seeks to have an enormous influence on online expression relating to Israel and antisemitism. As antisemitism and anti-Israel extremism surge, this should be concerning to all.

CAMERA Op-Ed: The International Court of Justice Never Said That
In dozens of stories, AP committed one of the most egregious journalistic transgressions: misattributing a false quote to a source.

CAMERA Op-Ed: Israel at a Crossroads

After a vague "clarification," the article is still misleading as to the frequency of the use of this weapon. Military expert John Spencer called it "a very commonly used tool."
CAMERA Op-Ed: Al Jazeera on the Potomac
The Washington Post is bleeding money and losing subscribers at an astonishing rate. The Post is turning to new leaders, and new programs, to recoup their losses.

CNN Article Breathes False Life into the Gaza “Famine” Lie
Is there an imminent famine in Gaza? How CNN has covered this story over the last four months is illuminating, but not in the sense of discovering the facts. Rather, CNN’s coverage illustrates how the network is leaving its audience both uninformed and misinformed.
Diplomatic Controversies and Lazy ‘Journalism’ at CNN
CNN authors found it sufficient to largely copy and paste from competing statements without adding any value. To call this lazy journalism isn’t entirely accurate, though. After all, we know that the network will work overtime to concoct bizarre “investigative” reporting riddled with holes, dubious claims, and thin evidence. The amount of effort devoted seems to depend on who the story makes look good or bad.
MSNBC Mislabels Northern Israeli Communities ‘Settlements’
On MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Keir Simmons erroneously referred to locations which Hezbollah targeted within internationally-recognized Israeli territory as "settlements." While MSNBC agreed the terminology was wrong, the network declined to broadcast a correction.

Scrubbed by the Times: NY Times Routinely Erases Extremism from “Pro-Palestinian Protests”

CAMERA Op-Ed: The Rise of Anti-Zionist Networks in the U.S.
A recent New York Post report noted the anti-Israel activism of Theodore Roosevelt's great-great-great grandson. But as CAMERA tells the Algemeiner, it's all in the family. Roosevelt's grandchildren, both CIA officers, helped establish anti-Zionist networks in the U.S., and they used government funds to do so.
Arrested Truth: UPI Cites As Fact Disputed Figures For West Bank Arrests
UPI reports as fact a Palestinian organization's dubious claim that nearly 9000 West Bank Palestinians have been arrested since Oct. 7, ignoring Israel's figure of less than half that number. Once again, McClatchy pulls Adam Schrader's deeply flawed article from all of its sites.
CNN’s Advocacy Journalism
CNN appears to be advocating for a further US arms embargo on Israel in a pair of articles masquerading as journalism.
NY Times Misleads on Rafah Crossing and Rafah Ruling
Israel shut down the Rafah crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. So said the New York Times.

In both cases, the news was false — as reporting even in the New York Times would eventually make clear.
CAMERA Op-Ed: The United Nations Helps Hamas
The United Nations is a key component in Hamas's war to destroy the Jewish state. And as CAMERA tells the Washington Times, the UN provides cover for the terrorist group. The press should not grant the UN undue credibility.
Al Hurra Clarifies About Hamas’ False Claim To Accept Ceasefire

CAMERA Op-Ed: Raisi’s Death Won’t Change Much
As CAMERA tells the Washington Examiner, the recent death of Ebrahim Raisi, the president of Iran, in a helicopter crash won’t change much. In the Islamic Republic, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has the final say, and men like Raisi are but his servants. The regime and its ambitions—to destroy Israel and remove the U.S. from the Middle East—will live on.
AP Mum on Egypt’s Closure of Crossing, Faulting Israel For Rafah Food Shortages
AP conceals that Egypt refuses to coordinate with Israel on the transfer of aid, thereby preventing the passage of food through Rafah crossing into the Gaza Strip. By falsely holding Israel responsible for the reported food shortage, AP piles on to the tampered evidence upon which the ICC has built its whole rotten case.

Los Angeles Times Clarifies: US, Israel Dispute Hamas Claim to Accept Ceasefire

The Washington Post Reanimates Antisemitism
The Washington Post is gaining quite the reputation. Once known for bringing down Presidents, the newspaper has been reduced to repeating Muslim Brotherhood-talking points.
NPR Promotes Palestinian Myths to Delegitimize the Jewish State
A segment of "Here & Now," produced by NPR affiliate WBUR was devoted entirely to promoting the concept of “Nakba”— “catastrophe”— to describe the establishment of the modern State of Israel. With both host and guest promoting Palestinian foundational myths to delegitimize the Jewish state, the segment sounded more like propaganda on Voice of Al Aqsa, a Hamas radio station, than a report from a U.S. public radio network that claims to adhere to journalistic norms.
ICC Prosecutor Seeks to Effectively Rob Israel of its Legitimate Right to Self-Defense
Military experts have attested that Israel is taking every possible step to avoid harm to civilians, while conducting a legitimate and necessary war of self-defense. To characterize this as “extermination” or “murder,” and to use it to justify international legal action against Israel's leaders, is to twist morality on its head.
Reuters Inflates By Millions 1948 Refugees Who Fled to Jordan
Reuters errs that "Jordan took in millions of Palestinian refugees" following the 1948 war. But the total number of Palestinian Arab refugees from that war was 700,000, and only about half of them went to Jordan.

CAMERA Op-Ed: Leaving Hamas in Rafah Saves the Terrorist Group
As CAMERA tells the Washington Examiner, Hamas can’t be eliminated unless the IDF launches an operation in Rafah. While some in the U.S. have questioned the wisdom of such a move, allowing Hamas to remain in Rafah effectively preserves the terrorist group.
‘Nakba’ in a Vacuum: AP Covers 1948 ‘Mass Expulsion,’ Erases Arab War of Annihilation
AP's selective coverage of the 'Nakba,' the defining event of the Palestinian national struggle, embodies the core fault of international media coverage: erasing Palestinian agency. AP accounts ignore the Arab war to eliminate the nascent Jewish state.
CAMERA Op-Ed: Iran’s Unprecedented Attack on Israel
As CAMERA tells the Washington Examiner, Iran’s recent barrage of missiles and drones launched from Iranian soil is unprecedented. The attack marks a significant, and noteworthy, escalation by the Islamic Republic. Failing to respond would hurt Israel’s deterrence—and America’s.
CAMERA Op-Ed: Iran Wants to Destroy Israel
As CAMERA tells the Washington Examiner, Israel is not purely at war in Gaza against Hamas. Rather it is at war with the Iranian regime — a war in which Tehran struck a devastating blow.

CAMERA prompts AFP to amend after reporting the "whole [Eurovision] contest has been clouded by the participation of Israel." It's not Israel which clouded Eurovision. It's the haters of Israel who did so.

Media outlets uncritically reported as fact Hamas' false claim that the terror organization accepted the Gaza ceasefire proposal, completely ignoring the State Department's unequivocal clarification: "Hamas did not accept a ceasefire proposal."
CAMERA Op-Ed: Anti-Israel Ideology Tarnishes Brown University
Brown University's contribution to a growing trend of antisemitic views among young Americans is notable, not only for the extremist ideology promoted on campus by its Center for Middle East Studies but also because it aims to shape even younger minds through its Choices Program, a social-studies curriculum for high schoolers that includes units informed by the same radical ideology.
UPI Belatedly Acknowledges: Hamas Attacked Kerem Shalom Crossing
Two days after UPI’s Adam Schrader completely ignored that Hamas fired rockets towards Kerem Shalom even as he blamed Israel exclusively for the humanitarian crises facing Gazans, CAMERA prompts the news agency to cover the terror organization’s deadly attack on the crossing for the first time.

CAMERA Op-Ed: Brown University Sends a Message that Extremism Works
As American universities are aflame with extremism, antisemitism, and lawlessness, universities have only themselves to blame for the decades-long promotion of faculty members who abuse their role to indoctrinate students in “resistance”. By rewarding bad behavior over respectful dialogue, they are sowing the seeds of yet more chaos and lawlessness.
These News Outlets Spread the “Plausible Genocide” Libel
When the International Court of Justice issued an order on January 26 in the “genocide” case between South Africa and Israel, it soon became common knowledge that the ICJ had found it “plausible” that Israel was committing “genocide.” This common knowledge, however, was in fact a myth.
Tuvia Grossman Redux: Reuters’ Miscoverage and the Attack on Yoseph Haddad at Columbia University
The story which played out last week in Morningside Heights bore an uncanny resemblance to an unforgettable bloody incident which transpired Sept. 29, 2000 in Jerusalem at the outbreak of the Second Intifada.

With Additional WSJ Distortions, List of Manipulated Statistics Grows
It’s one thing to compare Israel’s invasion of Gaza in its battle to upend the Hamas regime with the US invasion of Iraq as it fought to overthrow Saddam Hussein. It is another to pretend to do so.
CNN Article Errs and Misleads on Gaza Humanitarian Aid
A CNN graphic, and the preceding text, suggests that the daily average number of trucks bringing food into Gaza now is less than half of what it was before October 7. In fact, the truth is precisely the opposite. Substantially more trucks are bringing food into Gaza today than were a year ago.

ABC’s This Week Amplifies Virulently Antisemitic Slur, Rolling Stone Piles On
When the World Central Kitchen founder said that Israel is at “war against humanity itself,” both ABC and Rolling Stone thought that repetition of this dehumanizing trope would make a good headline.
Unparalleled Intelligence: UPI Claims To Know More Than U.S. on Damascus Strike
While U.S. intelligence has yet to determine whether a building attacked in Damascus is an Iranian consular facility, UPI's Adam Schrader knows: Israel "destroyed Iran's consulate in Damascus." McClatchy commendably pulled the story from two dozens sites.
After Charging That Israel Launched War, Reuters ‘Adds Context’ of Hamas’ Oct. 7 Invasion
Reuters "adds context" about Hamas' massive Oct. 7 attacks to a Facebook post which cites "the war Israel launched against Hamas." While the inclusion of Hamas' Oct. 7 atrocities is certainly a significant improvement, it should be noted that Israel didn’t “launch” a war, Hamas did.
CAMERA Op-Ed: Hamas Uses Hospitals and the Washington Post
Hamas is using hospitals for cover. And the media is covering for Hamas. Worse still, as CAMERA tells the Washington Times, a contributor for the Washington Post even cheered on the October 7th massacre.

AP Loses Way in Shifa Tunnels: Drops U.S. Intelligence Findings Confirming Hamas Command Center
Where is AP's vaunted transparency when it comes to the independent U.S. intelligence about the Hamas command center? Like a Hamas weapons cache hidden away in Shifa's MRI ward, deliberate and deceptive concealment ironically finds a home in a place of supposedly total transparency.

Sometimes updates happen only after CAMERA's nudging, resulting in underreporting of Hamas fatalities.

CNN Reporting: Conflicts of Interest, A Missing Terrorist Organization, And an Inability to Verify
First, the article spills large amounts of ink to link Israel to tragedies, while omitting or glossing over the existence and responsibility of other parties.

Third, the background of one of the journalists himself raises questions of a conflict of interest.
Reinstated US Position on Settlements Revives Long-Standing Misreporting on Decades-Old Policy

Tracing the Dubious Allegations of Sexual Violence Made Against Israeli Forces
The only source for the allegations of sexual violence by Israeli forces that several United Nations "experts" were willing to point to was a public report by an organization called Women's Centre for Legal Aid and Counseling (WCLAC).

At UPI, Hang Glider Journalist Adam Schrader Shills For Hamas

Another CNN Report on Gaza Based on Little Evidence, No Context, But Lots of Insinuation
As CAMERA has repeatedly documented, there is a pattern of CNN reports lobbing horrific allegations at Israel based on exceedingly thin evidence and lots of insinuation.

CBS Falsely Reports U.S. Warned Israel Not To Attack Rafah
CBS's Deborah Patta falsely reported that Netanyahu "stubbornly refuses to listen" to his American interlocutors.

The U.S. exhorted Israel to prepare a solid plan to protect Rafah's civilians before carrying out a military operation. The Biden administration did not tell Israel not to attack Rafah.
The State of Palestinians: AP Errs on Oslo Accords, Strips Palestinians Of Agency
AP's Julia Frankel falsely reports that under the intermin peace deals, "the self-rule government was meant to expand and eventually run a future Palestinian state."

Reuters Reporting Goes South, Falsely Claims Israel Ordered Palestinians in Rafah to Evacuate Southward
UPDATE: Reuters corrects a video which falsely reported that Israel has ordered the evacuation of over one million Palestinians in Rafah southward.

CAMERA Op-Ed: UNRWA’s Problematic History

CNN’s Investigations: Biased Expert Analysis
Expert analysis, when used properly, can help audiences contextualize factual reporting.

CAMERA Op-Ed: The Messages Behind Israel’s Beirut Strike

CAMERA Report: Brown University’s Choices Curriculum is a Platform for Anti-Zionist Narrative
CAMERA has just published its investigation of the Choices Program's curriculum pertaining to Zionism, Israel and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Replete with historical revisionism and anti-Zionist tropes ,it whitewashes Palestinian aggression and terrorism, erases Hamas’ stated goals and genocidal intent and portrays the existence of the Jewish state as illegitimate. Such a curriculum can only fuel the growing antisemitism in U.S. classrooms.
Jewish Students Were Besieged. The NY Times Casts the Besiegers as Victims.

A CNN Article Tries to Explain Away Palestinian Support for Hamas’s Atrocities

New York Times Reporters Act as Hamas Stenographers, Forget to Omit ‘Israeli Occupation Forces’

Doppelganger: Real AP News Report on Black Americans, Palestinians Mimics Fake News

CAMERA Op-Ed: Anti-Israel Crybullies and the Free Speech Inversion
As defined at Dictionary.com, a crybully is “a person who self-righteously harasses or intimidates others while playing the victim, especially of a perceived social injustice.” It’s a particularly accurate label for the crowd of anti-Israel activists who have spent decades working to silence and intimidate Jewish and Israeli voices on campuses while also portraying themselves as victims of an attack on their free speech.

They Spew Hatred & Glorify Terrorism. But a CNN Article Depicts Them As “The Voice of All These Victims.”
"It’s about humanity." That’s how a CNN article describes one woman’s efforts to help connect Gazans to telephone and internet services. “We are the voice of all these victims,” says another journalist extensively quoted in the piece who benefited from the effort. The problem? Their concept of “humanity” doesn’t include Israelis, and when Israelis are the victims, their voices express glee.
After false hate-crime story, President Biden apologizes to Muslim-American Advocates
During a meeting at the White House with Muslim Americans, President Biden was told a false story by an attendee that three of her relatives in Chapel Hill, NC had been murdered in an anti-Muslim hate crime.

Excessive Force and the Israel-Hamas War
The destroyed al-Salam Hospital in Mosul, Iraq after US bombing.
Israel's war against terrorist groups in Hamas-ruled Gaza has triggered the usual charges of illegal, disproportionate and excessive force, but the analysis shows that Israel has taken more care to protect civilians than legally required, and has acted more humanely than other countries engaged in similar battles, including the United States in Iraq, Panama, etc., and countries including the US fighting under the United Nations banner in Somalia.

CAMERA Op-Ed: Dear Media, Hamas Couldn’t Do it Without You
The press has helped Hamas by playing into its narrative. Post columnists like Ishaan Tharoor and Karen Attiah have accused the Jewish state of genocide while actively obfuscating Israel's efforts to limit civilian casualties and Hamas's efforts to encourage them. As CAMERA tells the Washington Times, Hamas wants their human shields. And too many in the press want to shield Hamas.
CAMERA Op-Ed: Voice of America Helps Hamas
Voice of America, the taxpayer-funded and U.S.-operated news network, is refusing to call Hamas “terrorists,” claiming that neutral language should be used. But as CAMERA tells The Federalist, VOA should heed Elie Wiesel's advice: “Neutrality helps the oppressor.”

Mothers Separated From Children: Media’s Double Standard On Alleged Truce Violations

CAMERA Op-Ed: The Palestinian Authority is Ill-Prepared to Govern Gaza

Who Verifies NPR’s Reporting on the Hamas War?
"NPR cannot independently verify these claims" is the refrain used to discredit Israel's claims and the evidence that supports them. Not so for Hamas claims of casualties that are treated as authoritative figures that need no verification.

Ehud Barak Misleads about the Shifa Tunnels
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak seems to say in this interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour that Israel created the underground "bunkers" beneath Shifa Hospital. What was he talking about?

This will become obvious when we outline the facts on who built Shifa Hospital, including the basement, and who built the tunnels and bunkers.

CAMERA Op-Ed: “Glorifying Atrocities: The Case of Brown University”
After the Holocaust, many bought into the idea that the best way to prevent the reoccurrence of similar horrors was through education.

Los Angeles Times: Israelis Died, Palestinians Killed
According to The Los Angeles Times, some 1400 Israeli side "died" in the Israel-Hamas war while some 9000 Palestinians were "killed." With this egregious whitewash of Hamas' ISIS-like atrocities, ethical journalism dies alongside 1400 Israelis.
No Power in Gaza, Hospitals Shutting Down? Watch this Video
Hamas-controlled health authorities have been claiming -- for weeks -- that Gaza hospitals will have to close in a day or two for lack of power, and this has been repeated by numerous media outlets. But what Hamas is omitting is that thanks to a UN/WHO program Gaza hospitals have extensive solar panel installations on their roofs, which can supply a substantial portion of their power needs. Watch the video and see for yourself.

A Dictionary of Hamas Supporters’ Chants and Slogans
Slogans and chants of Hamas supporters are being increasingly heard at coordinated rallies against Israel, taking place in the U.S. and across Europe.

Is Israel’s “Siege” Denying Water and Food to Gaza? Just the Facts
After horrific mass terror attacks by Hamas, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced a “complete siege” of Gaza: "There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed." Because some have mistakenly interpreted this to mean that Israel supplied -- and is now cutting off -- all of Gaza’s water, electricity, and food, it's important to layout the facts.
CNN Leaves ICC Prosecutor’s Questionable Claims Unchallenged
Media outlets, including CNN, cannot simply treat UN and ICC figures as neutral, unbiased sources whose claims can be left uncontextualized or unchallenged. In times of war, journalists must be extra careful, too. To do otherwise is to risk playing a part in Hamas’ cynical use of human shields and civilian deaths.
UPDATED: “Jewish Voice for Peace” (JVP): What the Media is Concealing
What is "Jewish Voice for Peace"? It's an anti-Semitic hate group that masquerades as a Jewish peace-promoting organization. And much of the mainstream media is concealing its anti-Semitic agenda. CAMERA's backgrounder has been expanded and updated with evidence of its dangerous, anti-Jewish actions. The group justifies Jewish bloodshed and agitates against the right of Jews to defend themselves while promoting resources for anti-Semitic engagement and classic, anti-Jewish blood libels.

CNN Deceptively Attributes Hamas Casualty Figures to “Aid Group”
CNN can’t help itself. Last week, the network was caught uncritically spreading Hamas’s propaganda that Israel struck Al-Ahli hospital on October 17th.

AP ‘Fact Check’ Pushes Debunked ‘We Just Don’t Know’ Narrative on Hamas’ Al Ahli Hospital Lie
An AP "fact check" report is unironically headlined: "Misinformation about the Israel-Hamas war. Here are the facts." Far from supplying the facts, today's "fact check" conceals known facts, bringing us back to the worst of last week's coverage of Hamas' Al Ahli hospital misinformation campaign.
Gaza Casualties: Journalists Must Exercise Care and Be Honest with Audience
Spreading Hamas propaganda without qualification or context is no different than uncritically airing Islamic State propaganda.

LA Times’ Unfulfilled Promises: Accuracy, Fairness, Journalistic Rigor, Compassion

CNN’s Mea Culpa on Al-Ahli Hospital Coverage Isn’t Enough
Contrary to CNN's depiction, it wasn’t that this was a “he said she said” issue, and the network just failed by not waiting for the “she said.” The issue was that they took Hamas’s claims at face value, and then they gave the terrorist organization’s claims equal weight to that of Israel’s, notwithstanding the IDF’s claims were backed up by audio and visual evidence.

Updated: What happened at the Gaza Hospital and do Palestinian rockets “occasionally” misfire?
Hundreds of people sheltering at the Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City were killed in an explosion that some have blamed on Israel, but which Israel says was caused by an errant Islamic Jihad rocket.

CAIR Spokesman Falsely Implies Jewish Responsibility for Murder in U.S.
Lest anyone still doubts that anti-Semitism is inherent in the anti-Zionist narrative depicting Jews in Israel as settler-colonialists responsible for all the violence in the Middle East and Jewish supporters responsible for violence elsewhere in the world, and lest they doubt the anti-Zionist/anti-Semitic agenda of CAIR, listen to its spokesman's words.

Human Rights Watch on MSNBC: Urging Civilians to Evacuate is Terrorism
When a Human Rights Watch activist was given two chances on MSNBC to talk about the situation in Israel, she used the word “terrorism” only once.

Rather, she used it to describe the Israeli Defense Force’s urging of Gazans to evacuate northern Gaza where the IDF intends to strike hard against those Palestinian terrorists.

CAMERA Op-Ed: In the Middle East, a Time for Choosing
