In a supposed overview of Israel's military engagements in four fronts over the last 25 years, NPR left out critical, historical facts. The result was a report that focused only on Israel's present military positions, without explaining what transpired between then and now.
Who is Hussam Abu Safiya, the detained Gaza doctor, behind all of the headlines? What is the media not revealing to its audiences? In fact, under his watch, the Kamal Adwan Hospital was a hub for terrorist activity.
In reporting on the most recent allegations against Graham Platner, NPR omitted information from the very source it cited, which demonstrated Platner had lied about knowing he bore a Nazi tattoo.
In an interview with a former Lebanese diplomat and presidential candidate Tracy Chamoun, NPR allowed omissions and lies to guide the conversation. The lack of pushback enabled the promotion of Hezbollah propaganda and revisionist history.
NPR added to its repertoire of soft or sympathetic interviews of perpetrators, leaders and supporters of Palestinian terror in its recent interview with Mahmoud Khalil. Structured to garner sympathy, NPR never asked him about the speech he claims he has been targeted for or why he has repeatedly refused to condemn Hamas.
NPR carefully avoids placing an iota of responsibility for the damage to southern Lebanon on Hezbollah. In a recent story designed to make it appear as if Israel was destroying homes for no reason, one man NPR interviewed told listeners that nice houses don't house weapons.
NBC, ABC and NPR reported last week on Israel's intensified strikes in Lebanon and how they might interfere with a potential ceasefire deal between the United States and Iran. The reports gave only half the story, omitting mention of Hezbollah's conduct.
Following the April 8, 2026, U.S.-Iran ceasefire, major western outlets manufactured a false narrative accusing Israel of violating the deal based on unconfirmed claims from Tehran and Islamabad.
NPR has a long-standing formula. Both in 2009 and 2026, it ran stories about the same man in the same area in Jerusalem. Then and now, NPR used anti-Israel human rights organizations and Israeli activists to make false claims about the demolition of illegally built homes and to call the building permit process discriminatory.
