Nearly two years ago, Palestinian terrorists committed gruesome atrocities to cover up the fact that they murdered the Bibas children with their bare hands. This week, deploying a journalistic sleight of hand, The New York Times and Wall Street Journal likewise cover up the barbaric murders of Ariel and Kfir.
Ambassador Charles Kushner recently took to the pages of the Wall Street Journal to condemn rising antisemitism in France. In a recently published letter, CAMERA weighs in, offering a historical perspective.
So intent is Omar Abdel-Baqui on depicting an American-Palestinian enclave in the West Bank as "a little slice of Americana" that he glaringly excises a highly revealing and very un-American detail: a call for the violent erasure of the entire state of Israel.
Propagandistic headlines of the past week that exaggerate suffering and put the blame only on one side have most likely served only to prolong the war, along with the misery on both sides.
Instead of equivocating on the target and source of the violence, the media should consider the role that the many false stories about Israel that have circulated since the start of the war have played in inciting such violence.
In two articles, the Journal creates an impression that Israel’s aggression in Gaza has caused hostility to Jews around the world, including Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky.
UPDATE: The Wall Street Journal corrects an Oct. 26 photo caption which had erased the Hebrew message on a Tehran billboard stating: "Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth and that is just the beginning of the story."
The growing, undeniable tilt against Israel in Wall Street Journal news coverage since the October 7 Hamas attack on the Jewish state appears connected to a change in focus under a new Editor-in-Chief, Emma Tucker. The Journal now routinely terms all of the West Bank "Palestinian territory" -- an error previously corrected in the Journal's own pages.
It’s one thing to compare Israel’s invasion of Gaza in its battle to upend the Hamas regime with the US invasion of Iraq as it fought to overthrow Saddam Hussein. It is another to pretend to do so.
