A Washington Post online “infographic” Aug. 1, 2014 headlined “The Crisis in Gaza” resembled a slice of Swiss cheese with too many holes. Its August 3 print edition “Life in Gaza” was only slightly better. Daoud Kuttab’s Washington Post Op-Ed, “The end of Abbas’s peace policy” (July 17) attempted to whitewash Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ evanescent unity government with Hamas and blame Israel for Palestinian inability to make peace. Here’s the CAMERA rebuttal The Post didn’t print:
The Washington Post says it 'is committed to correcting errors that appear in the newspaper.' Two recent articles suggest that commitment appears to hinge on the meaning of 'errors' and 'correcting.' It was only a single quote from an anonymous, if well-placed source, but it reminded readers of The Washington Post how Saudi Arabia's 20th century history of slavery still ripples through a kingdom perhaps less stable than it would like to appear. Reporting of "al-Nakba Day" usually fails to note to what extent the Arabs' 1948 "catastrophe" was self-imposed. A new mobile phone application, "iNakba," promises to let users take anti-Israel revisionism with them. 
When the two Palestinian movements announced their newest unity pact late in April, news media distinguished 'moderate' Fatah from 'militant' Hamas. But the word The Washington Post and other outlets needed was pragmatic, not moderate. 
A terrorist group chooses a name that implicitly recognizes the Jews' connection to Jerusalem. Journalists consistently mistranslate the name, erasing the religious-historical link. Two recent Washington Post articles indicate how the newspaper continues to avoid unflattering but relevant specifics when reporting on some Muslim American advocacy groups and on repression, including physical mutilation, of women in Arab-Islamic cultures. A play insinuating an Israeli massacre at Tantura in 1948, an allegation determined in court to be libelous, drew enthusiastic Washington Post coverage, again and again. But regardless of "competing narratives," art that rejects facts is inauthentic. So is journalism. Sometimes Washington Post readers must note the date of issue. April Fools' Day, 2014 provided two reports, one on Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, one on former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, with far too much tricky language.
