Hamas' propaganda war to cast the Jewish state as genocidal is carried out with the engagement of bad actors, including health workers, and willing dupes from the mainstream media.
A segment of "Here & Now," produced by NPR affiliate WBUR was devoted entirely to promoting the concept of “Nakba”— “catastrophe”— to describe the establishment of the modern State of Israel. With both host and guest promoting Palestinian foundational myths to delegitimize the Jewish state, the segment sounded more like propaganda on Voice of Al Aqsa, a Hamas radio station, than a report from a U.S. public radio network that claims to adhere to journalistic norms.
Brown University's contribution to a growing trend of antisemitic views among young Americans is notable, not only for the extremist ideology promoted on campus by its Center for Middle East Studies but also because it aims to shape even younger minds through its Choices Program, a social-studies curriculum for high schoolers that includes units informed by the same radical ideology.
As a recipient of federal funding, PBS must comply with the federal statute requiring strict adherence to objectivity and balance in programs of a controversial nature. Yet PBS Newshour continues to present one-sided segments with guests who shill for Hamas.
CAMERA has just published its investigation of the Choices Program's curriculum pertaining to Zionism, Israel and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Replete with historical revisionism and anti-Zionist tropes ,it whitewashes Palestinian aggression and terrorism, erases Hamas’ stated goals and genocidal intent and portrays the existence of the Jewish state as illegitimate. Such a curriculum can only fuel the growing antisemitism in U.S. classrooms.
PBS is peddling Hamas propaganda via representatives from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), also known by its English translation, “Doctors Without Borders.” Representatives are accusing Israel of war crimes and demanding a ceasefire while denying Hamas' role in the war.
"NPR cannot independently verify these claims" is the refrain used to discredit Israel's claims and the evidence that supports them. Not so for Hamas claims of casualties that are treated as authoritative figures that need no verification. The double standard raises the question of whether anyone can verify NPR's reporting or credibility.
What is "Jewish Voice for Peace"? It's an anti-Semitic hate group that masquerades as a Jewish peace-promoting organization. And much of the mainstream media is concealing its anti-Semitic agenda. CAMERA's backgrounder has been expanded and updated with evidence of its dangerous, anti-Jewish actions. The group justifies Jewish bloodshed and agitates against the right of Jews to defend themselves while promoting resources for anti-Semitic engagement and classic, anti-Jewish blood libels.
