Following statements by PA Justice Minister Freih Abu Meddein and by Chairman Yasir Arafat that Palestinians found to have sold land to Jews will face the death penalty, at least 4 Palestinian land dealers said to have been involved in such sales were murdered.
The BBC's Sarah Montague advances the canard that the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) is all “Palestinian territory” and takes a thinly veiled swipe at diaspora Jews who make aliyah and choose to live there.
In order to meet its obligations to provide audiences with balanced and fair reporting, the BBC would have to consider the Palestinian people as equally capable of being political actors in their own right, something which unfortunately happens all too rarely.
Over the course of a single week, PBS NewsHour pushed one-sided narratives of Israeli policy, erased American victims of Oct. 7, and offered soft, unchallenged interviews to a repressive Iranian regime.

In Reuters' latest instance of minimizing anti-Israel terror, the news agency understates the number of Israelis murdered in Hamas suicide bombings, citing "scores." In fact, the figure is hundreds.
The AP article on Israel's move to legalize the Yatziv outpost notes that "fittingly, the new settlement’s name means 'stable' in Hebrew." Unfortunately, AP's reporting on the disputed site flounders in factual instability.
A right-wing Israeli minister and anti-settlement activists on the opposite end of the political spectrum agree that Israel's E-1 construction plan would slice the West Bank in two.

The Los Angeles Times has found a culprit for the violent attacks targeting Los Angeles Jews outside the Adas Torah Synagogue. And, no, it's not the pro-terror organization which organized the violent synagogue siege. UPDATE: LA Times corrects on 'Palestinian land,' legality of settlements.
CAMERA prompts correction of an English-language AFP article which falsely reported that the Abraham Accords permitted Israeli annexation of West Bank land. In fact, the accords achieved normalization between Israel and Arab states and removed annexation from the agenda.
CAMERA has begun documenting the range of falsehoods in Amnesty’s report elsewhere. This piece, by contrast, will focus on one of Amnesty’s lies, diving downward from there to untangle part of web of deceit underpinning the Big Lie.
Times of Israel clarifies multiple reports which had stated as fact that Palestinians of Khan Al-Ahmar have lived there since the 1950s.
