On January 14, communities across the globe marked 100 days since Israeli hostages were abducted to Gaza. When an Israeli soccer player in Turkey was arrested for doing the same, the New York Times cast it as a martial reference, and refused to correct their misrepresentation.
With the Associated Press claim that Israel's war against Hamas “now sits among the deadliest and most destructive in history,” the wire service joins a parade of statistical inventions and manipulations.
CAMERA’s Alex Safian joined Mark Levin on his top-rated FoxNews program Life, Liberty and Levin to discuss the abysmal media coverage of Israel’s war against Hamas, which was triggered by the terrorist organization’s horrific massacre of Israeli civilians on Oct. 7.
Two months anti-Israel protesters intimidated Jews in the Cooper Union library, the New York Times again reported on the disturbance — this time, to recast the agitators who caused Jews to fear for their safety as the situation’s real victims.
The deletion of the telling "occupation forces" slip-up can't conceal the writers' devotion to serving as obedient Hamas mouthpieces. When it comes to Hamas talking points, buzzing flies prove dead bodies. But when it comes to Israeli claims, even weapons can't prove weapons.
One can speak honestly about both the context and the impact of fighting in Gaza without subtracting from the human suffering. Which raises the question: Why does the New York Times choose to prevaricate on the subject?
The New York Times corrected after erroneously quoting Barbara Leaf, the assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs, as saying "civilian" casualties in Gaza might be higher than reported. She was referring to casualties in general.
The press has helped Hamas by playing into its narrative. Post columnists like Ishaan Tharoor and Karen Attiah have accused the Jewish state of genocide while actively obfuscating Israel's efforts to limit civilian casualties and Hamas's efforts to encourage them. As CAMERA tells the Washington Times, Hamas wants their human shields. And too many in the press want to shield Hamas.
In his New York Sun column, author Alan Dershowitz questions the New York Times' uncritical repetition of Hamas' undocumented and absurd claims about civilian casualty figures in Gaza.
Since the October 7th Hamas onslaught on southern Israel, antisemitic individuals have been ripping down posters of civilians taken hostage by Hamas. But there’s one poster they can’t touch: CAMERA's new massive billboard standing outside The New York Times’ headquarters.
