When The New York Times reported on soccer racism in Europe on Jan. 5, 2013, the story was about the negative response to racism by European soccer fans. But when discussing the recent protests by Israeli soccer fans against the recruitment of Muslim players, the newspaper used this as an excuse to present a sweeping indictment of Israeli society. 
The column commends the New York Times for prominently highlighting anti-Jewish hate indoctrination in Egypt, and explains why the newspaper similarly must likewise begin to give adequate attention to Palestinian incitement. 
In 2012, the media blundered all too many times in reporting on the Middle East. It was difficult to narrow it down, but CAMERA has identified our Top Ten MidEast Media Mangles.
In response to discussion with CAMERA staff, the New York Times corrected inaccurate claims about the E1 corridor cutting off Palestinian cities from Jerusalem and bisecting the West Bank. For a more analysis on the subject, read CAMERA's "Media Embrace E1 Falsehoods." 
Instead of investigating activist claims that the building in E1 bisects the West Bank and cuts off access to Jerusalem, much of the media has simply echoed the false accusations. 
The many criticisms of a recent New York Times article by David Carr might feel like a confusing blur of names. But regardless of whose name is spelled how, the reporter did a dramatic disservice to readers by ignoring facts and context in his indictment of Israel. 
The New York Times continues to spin the news about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict through its framing and placement of stories. Take, for example, the Saturday, Nov. 17 edition. 
The mindset at The New York Times is to indict Israel and let no facts stand in the way. This is made clear—yet again— in the newspaper's editorial about Israel's latest military operation to stop rocket fire. The column uses any kind of evasion to arrive at its desired message: "Blame Israel." CAMERA staff have elicited a clarification in a New York Times story about Egyptian leader Mohamed Morsi that misrepresented the 1978 Camp David Accords.
