In the selective memory of Haaretz's Hanin Majadli, incitement to terrorism is the "right to tell a story" and arch-terrorist Yahya Ayyah is relieved of his bloody record.
A Jan. 2 Op-Ed in which former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert blames Israel for attacks on Jews worldwide is the new year's first chilling validation of the fact that Haaretz does not combat antisemitism. It fuels it.
In a promotional letter to readers, Haaretz English edition editor Esther Solomon provides an otherwise compelling account of antisemitism from the two political extremes. She then urges readers to support Haaretz as a means to squelch wildly inaccurate reporting and anti-Jewish conspiracy theories. It's almost as if she hasn't read her own paper, a publication favored by anti-Jewish bigots like Candace Owens.
In an innovative falsehood, Haaretz publisher Amos Schocken invents that United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803, adopted last November, is "identical" to Security Council Resolution 2334, adopted in 2016. Aside from the fact that they both address Israel and the Palestinians, they are otherwise completely different.
Along with the "tsunami" of emigration is a flood of Israeli media misreporting including factual errors, misunderstanding of demographic concepts and the failure to provide critical context. UPDATE: Ynet deletes erroneous references to a "negative migration balance" and adds key context on the departure of recent immigrants who had fled the Russia-Ukraine war.
Why did Haaretz send a reporter to Istanbul and dedicate extensive space to an event funded by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and headed by disgraced antisemite Richard Falk?
CAMERA prompts correction at Haaretz's English edition after the Israeli daily whitewashed arch-terrorist Marwan Barghouti's responsibility for multiple deadly attacks as "alleged." The improved digital copy now notes the terror leader's convictions for deadly attacks.
For the second time in four months, and 736 days since Hamas and other terrorists kidnapped 251 Israelis and foreigners, CAMERA prompts correction of Haaretz's mischaracterization of the hostages as prisoners.
CAMERA prompts corrections after Haaretz's English edition misidentified the three kidnapped teens as "settlers" and omitted the fact that the young victims were murdered. The paper also corrects the claim that former MK Haneen Zoabi was "arrested." In fact, she was detained a few hours for questioning.
CAMERA's Hebrew department prompted corrections in both English and Hebrew after the Israeli daily Haaretz erroneously repeated the false canard that the Gaza Strip is the world's most densely populated place.
