CAMERA prompts correction of an AP article which had erased the deadly crime of released Palestinian prisoner Imad Abu Aliya. Nearly 50 secondary media outlets also corrected, clarifying that the terrorist was convicted for intentional manslaughter and incitement, not simply affiliation with Hamas.
After CAMERA prompts a significant correction of AP's absurd assertion that "[i]nternational law gives Palestinian refugees and their descendants the right to return to their homes," several dozens secondary media outlets correct.
More than 80 North American news outlets publish an Associated Press correction prompted by CAMERA after the wire service falsely reported that the civilian death toll in the Gaza Strip has exceeded 40,000. The scores of corrections are the most that CAMERA has prompted at once from a single wire service story.
The flip side of widespread false reporting last May that Hamas accepted the ceasefire proposal on the table, ABC fabricates that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has so far rejected President Biden's plan.
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.
After CAMERA's communication with senior editors, ABC corrected a piece that had wrongly suggested Israel was in violation of a ceasefire agreement that had not yet come into effect.
ABC thoroughly corrects after reporting that Hamas targeted "settlers," uncritically parroting Hamas' false claim that "all" of its fired rockets landed in Israel, and inventing that Gazans who don't flee the north face the "wrath of 400,000 Israeli soldiers."
UPDATE: From a headline which reports as fact the disputed claim that Israeli troops fired tear gas in the Jenin hospital to the accompanying story blaming a Palestinian terror attack on a protesting car, CAMERA prompts multiple corrections after ABC hit a plethora of pitfalls.
ABC correspondents Ines de la Cuetara and Reena Roy falsely charge that Israeli airstrikes were responsible for all of the Gaza casualties earlier this month, ignoring that errant Islamic Jihad rockets were the culprit in a significant number of cases.
