Haaretz fails to correct after wrongly claiming that the Israeli military said Israeli settlers entered the Palestinian village of Tell. Times of Israel amends reporting which wrongly referred to a raid, but still alleges the group entered the village, despite Israeli military findings to the contrary.
Lee Mordechai attempts to position himself as the moral compass for a supposedly amnesiac Israeli public, CAMERA's Shlomi Ben-Meir writes in JNS. However, what Mordechai frames as a “reminder” is, in reality, a masterclass in omission and narrative manipulation.
Haaretz demonizes all Israelis as genocidaires and amplifies without challenge false claims from rabidly anti-Israel content creators Ms. Rachel and Andrey X rather than providing on the ground reporting.
Haaretz global editor Noa Landau's caricature of American Evangelical Christians is heavy on gloating, strawman arguments and fabrications. Given both Evangelical and Israeli enthusiasm for the Abraham Accords, Landau's argument that the Judeo-Christian radical right is threatened by warming ties with Muslim nations gets a reality check.
Haaretz promises its readers coverage which "challenges, clarifies, and refuses to simplify what shouldn't be simplified" on key issues like free speech in Israel and the facts on the ground in the regional conflicts. On both fronts, coverage continues to fall short. Will the paper clarify that Israel's High Court has ruled that the display of the Palestinian flag is not illegal?
Hagai El-Ad ignores critical parts of a 1949 speech by David Ben-Gurion, falsely alleging that Israel's first prime minister called for massacring the Arab population to ensure a Jewish majority.
If the Knesset passes a puppy-celebration day bill, half the press will call it the anti-kitten law, making it difficult to imagine Israel quietly accomplishing either of those things. So, the piece’s argument is already questionable.
UPDATE: Haaretz corrects after fallaciously reporting that "Israeli policy" deprives West Bank Palestinians of critical air-raid sirens. But the paper has yet to amend after falsely depicting the ban on prayers at Jerusalem holy sites due to Iranian attacks as an anti-Muslim move singularly affecting only that population.
Haaretz amends after publishing a headline which falsely implied Israel deported an American activist because she reported a car accident in which a Palestinian girl was hit. Buried in the article behind the paywall was the fact that the activist engaged in an altercation with the driver.
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.
