"Israel Lobby" professors Walt and Mearsheimer charge that because of its alleged misdeeds Israel is an unworthy ally of the U.S., and cite as proof numerous seemingly damaging "quotations" from Israeli leaders. The problem is that all the quotations are from secondary sources or worse, and all are false. 
Robert Malley, a frequent commentator on the Arab-Israeli conflict, and a possible member of a Barack Obama administration, grew up in a world in which Yasir Arafat and Leonid Brezhnev were heroes, and Israeli leaders were demons. Has he outgrown his upbringing? The evidence would argue perhaps not. 
“Pistol-toting” Israeli settlers who allegedly “covet” and “steal” Palestinian land are a trope for some western reporters, including Richard Boudreaux of the Los Angeles Times, as exemplified by his Dec. 27th front page story “A West Bank struggle rooted in land.” 
One of the most disturbing of this season's "Bethlehem Formula" columns is the muddled and distorted Op-Ed by Kenneth Woodward that appeared on the generally well-vetted Op-Ed page of the Wall Street Journal.

Dan Abrams tonight slammed CNN's "God's Warriors" as biased shoddy journalism, saying at the outset that the three-part series "was not what it claimed or promised to be." In the segment, titled "CNN's Holy war?", Abrams also said "CNN should have called it what it was, a defense of Islamic fundamentalism and the worst type of moral relativism." 
A New York Times Magazine profile of Israeli politician Tzipi Livni by Roger Cohen falsely portrayed Israel as violating U.N. resolutions, and falsely portrayed the Palestinians as opposing suicide bombings and favoring a two-state solution. 
Did fighting lead to Israel’s creation? And do Palestinian refugees have a "right to return"? One might think so from the New York Times’ March 26th article on the subject by reporter Hassan Fattah. 
Peace 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. 
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil seems to be Reuters philosophy when it comes to covering attacks against Palestinian Christians by Palestinian Muslims. Alistair Lyon's "Misery Tempts Palestinian Christians to Flee" is only the latest example.
