The Guardian and the Independent joined a campaign coordinated by pro-BDS NGO Avaaz and Reporters Without Borders that libels Israel as deliberately killing journalists. Relying on inflated, terror-linked casualty lists and copy-pasted NGO claims, their reporting amounted to churnalism: advocacy dressed up as journalism.
Yesterday’s Associated Press story about UN-appointed rapporteur Francesca Albanese doesn’t list an author. But the piece might as well have been written by Albanese herself.
When a senior UN official told the BBC that thousands of babies would die in two days, the claim quickly spread across the global media — which would be understandable, if it weren’t abjectly false.
As we look ahead to 2025, we are more committed than ever to what we believe is a foremost necessity of our time – fighting the battle for truth against lies about Israel and the Jewish people in an increasingly complex and dangerous world.
In an article about Amnesty accusing Israel of genocide, the Post doesn’t think that “what to know” includes the fact that Amnesty has unilaterally changed the definition of genocide in order to attempt to make it fit the situation in Gaza.
The journalists aren’t revealing truths, nor are the activists righting real injustices. Their actions, in redefining words as applied to Jews, reveal their ideological motivations, for which they are willing to alter reality itself.
On December 4, the activist organization Amnesty International is set to release a report accusing Israel of committing “genocide.” The charge is not merely false, it is a complete inversion of the truth. It is both baseless and malicious, relying on disinformation and invented legal standards to deny the Jewish state its right to self-defense following Hamas’s genocidal attack on October 7, 2023.
The Associated Press and Los Angeles Times neglect to correct erroneous reporting that U.S. activist Rachel Corrie was killed while she was protesting a home demolition in the Gaza Strip. Court documents show the bulldozer was clearing brush used in attacks against troops.
Francesca Albanese, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, bangs the table as she misrepresents the facts.
