AFP abandons its "duty to seek the truth and not passively report information as it is presented to us" when it reports without challenge or clarification the false claim that Israel's army destroyed all of Neve Dekalim's hothouses before the 2005 disengagement.
UPDATE: Associated Press corrects after captions erroneously reported that a Sderot home was hit by a rocket fired by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. In fact, Israel's Iron Dome intercepted the rockets, and it was shrapnel from the interception which damaged the house.
In response to communication from CAMERA, Voice of America deletes a video which grossly overstated the number of refugees in the Gaza Strip suffering from poverty and unemployment. The June 12 VOA Extremism Watch video cited five million refugees facing these difficulties, more than double the territory's entire population.
CAMERA prompts correction of a series of Associated Press photo captions which absurdly misidentified the Gaza Strip as the "world's largest Muslim nation." With less than 2 million Muslims, the tiny territory is home to a tiny percentage of the world's 1.7 billion Muslims. Even Germany's Muslim population is more than double Gaza's.
The Associated Press conceals that Israel has fully withdrawn from the Gaza Strip, writing that Palestinians "seek" the territory as part of their future state and ignoring the withdrawal of every soldier and citizen from the territory, now in Hamas hands.
A grossly misleading article at the London-based Phramafile.com blamed Israel for Gaza’s COVID-19 healthcare problems. It was largely based on, or cribbed from, a propaganda piece on an anti-Semitic website.
An April 15, 2020 Washington Post op-ed incorrectly claimed that Israel prevents medical supplies from reaching Gaza. CAMERA prompted the Post to correct, but the op-ed itself is littered with problems.
