"Gaza strikes back at Israel after enduring months of war" was the United Press International headline whose relationship to reality mirrors that of George Lucas' "The Empire Strikes Back" science fiction favorite.
CAMERA prompts correction after Haaretz erroneously reported in English (and not Hebrew) that Israel closed the Rafah Crossing. Egypt, not Israel, closed the Gaza-Egypt crossing.
CAMERA prompts correction of a Los Angeles Times article which inaccurately reported that "Hamas had accepted terms of a cease-fire." As the U.S. State Department made explicitly clear: "Hamas did not accept a ceasefire proposal."
Two days after UPI’s Adam Schrader completely ignored that Hamas fired rockets towards Kerem Shalom even as he blamed Israel exclusively for the humanitarian crises facing Gazans, CAMERA prompts the news agency to cover the terror organization’s deadly attack on the crossing for the first time.
Reuters "adds context" about Hamas' massive Oct. 7 attacks to a Facebook post which cites "the war Israel launched against Hamas." While the inclusion of Hamas' Oct. 7 atrocities is certainly a significant improvement, it should be noted that Israel didn’t “launch” a war, Hamas did.
UPDATE: Reuters corrects a video which falsely reported that Israel has ordered the evacuation of over one million Palestinians in Rafah southward. Any evacuation of Palestinians in Rafah further south would mean evacuation into Egypt, and Israel has absolutely not ordered the evacuation of Palestinians onto Egyptian territory.
In response to communication from CAMERA, Bloomberg commendably moves swiftly to remove an incendiary News Now podcast headline referring to "Israel Genocide."
Haaretz amends after falsely reporting that Netanyahu's statements about the possibility of deporting Hamas leadership applied to Gaza residents, a fallacious claim which provided tailwind to South Africa's unfounded genocide charge.
After CAMERA's communication with senior editors, ABC corrected a piece that had wrongly suggested Israel was in violation of a ceasefire agreement that had not yet come into effect.
“No one has correct numbers, that’s not possible anymore,” Health Ministry official Mehdat Abbas told AP. “Who can count the bodies and release the death toll in a press conference?” And yet it's business as usual at Reuters, which keeps on reporting mysterious casualty statistics attributed to "authorities in Gaza" and "health officials."
