As media reports emerge regarding Hamas’ claim that a journalist was killed in an overnight Israeli airstrike, CAMERA reminds the press corps that in 2018 the media-watchdog organization documented that photographer Hassan Eslaiah was an employee of Hamas’ Al Quds TV, and was therefore a Hamas operative, not a journalist.
Recently revealed internal AP correspondence provides a unique window into CAMERA’s often quiet but effective and persistent work, the organization’s impactful interactions with the international press corps and its enduring reverberations well outside journalistic circles.
Hamas intentionally targeted families on October 7. In a recent essay for the Washington Examiner magazine, CAMERA explains why. The terrorist group has created a new war crime, kinocide, and seeks to vanquish the very foundation of Jewish life.
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.
Using the current Israel-Hamas ceasefire as their cue to place Palestinian terrorists on equal footing as innocent Israeli hostages, some underperforming journalists are sanitizing the bloody records of hardcore terrorists.
There’s more than one way to erase the hostages held by Hamas and other terror groups in the Gaza Strip. The more genteel journalistic erasures exact far greater and lasting damage than the bombastic street displays.
After parroting without question demonstrably false Houthi propaganda about an attack on "Israeli military targets," the Associated Press has commendably clarified that the ballistic missile hit an elementary school.
One day after the publication of yet another detailed study identifying serious flaws and anomalies in Hamas-supplied figures for fatalities incurred in Israel's Gaza Strip offensive, AP ran a headline and article which cited the terror organization's disputed and highly questionable figures as fact without even providing attribution.
The Associated Press says it advances the power of facts, CAMERA writes in the Algemeiner. However, the news service's refusal to report pro-Hamas incitement and cloaking support for the terror organization's Oct. 7 attack as "anti-war" protest is the latest instance of AP diminishing the power of facts.
How does Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta's call for regional war square with his reported concern about war's toll on children and why does AP's Abby Sewell conceal his war-mongering sentiment, CAMERA asks in Israel Hayom.
