Peace Now’s Blunder: Erred on Ma’ale Adumim Land by 15,900 Percent

Peace Now's BlunderPeace Now claimed in an October 2006 report that Israeli settlements are situated mostly on “private Palestinian land,” and in particular that the territory of the largest settlement, Ma’ale Adumim, is 86.4 percent “private Palestinian land.” Turns out they were a little off.

The Episcopal Church’s Anti-Israel Media Campaign

The Episcopal Church's leaders and constitutive bodies routinely issue one-sided anti- Israel statements, and church publications portray Israel as exclusively responsible for violence in the region. The church has also provided substantial support for anti-Israel activists in both the U.S. and the Middle East. Its so-called peace activism amounts to an ad hoc anti-Israel media campaign that serves to delegitimize Israel's rightful place amongst the nations of the world.

“Israel Lobby” Professors Appear at Event of Radical Islamist Group CAIR

Professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, authors of The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, a largely discredited report alleging that the "Israel lobby" has distorted the foreign policy of the United States to the point of serious damage to U.S. interests, appeared at a panel discussion sponsored by the radical Islamist group CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations).

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Publishes CAMERA Op-Ed

After two opinion pieces in the Post-Intelligencer celebrated Seattle's hosting of a play about International Solidarity Movement (ISM) activist Rachel Corrie, a CAMERA guest column pointed out that the ISM's extremist ideology distorts understanding of the Middle East. The newspaper's summary of CAMERA's column reads: "Her death was tragic, but the group mentoring Corrie was geared toward more toward building hatred against Israel than toward forwarding peace."

Munich and the Kushner Connection

Word of playwright Tony Kushner's involvement in Steven Spielberg's Munich set off alarms among those familiar with his extreme anti-Israel positions and indifference to facts about the Arab-Israeli conflict. A glance at his statements and affiliations suggests why.

LA Times’ Uncritical ‘Review’ of Corrie Play

In his Los Angeles Times review of the British play "My Name is Rachel Corrie," David Gritten describes Rachel Corrie as "a relatively obscure name in her native U.S," one of several distortions about the American who interfered in a closed military area in the Gaza Strip and was killed accidentally.

Evangelical Lutheran Vote Update

Delegates of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), meeting in Orlando this past week, passed an amended anti-Israel resolution titled "Peace Not Walls: Stand for Justice in the Holy Land." While the resolution was approved 668 to 269, many delegates and lay members of the church seemed to be offering only tepid support, as indicated by a much closer subsequent vote on a motion to "reconsider."

Amnesty International Report Criticized

On May 25, Amnesty International (AI) released its annual report, taking aim, among other things, at the U.S.-led war on terror. NGO-Monitor criticizes AI's report, saying it "reflects the absence of credible research, the abuse of the rhetoric of human rights, and an overriding political agenda."

What is Human Rights Watch’s Agenda?

The U.S.-based, non-governmental organization (NGO), Human Rights Watch, is a self-appointed arbiter of human rights abuses around the world. Theirs would be a noble and worthy mission if it were carried out objectively, without regard to political or ideological agenda. Regrettably, this is not the case.
