The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, CAMERA tells the Washington Times, is where common sense goes to die. For decades, the media continues to treat peace processors as experts, overlooking a key fact: the policies that they have pushed have failed.
The Washington Post recently embedded with a U.S.-designated terrorist group, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. The Post's report raises various questions about ethics and access.
Winston Churchill called the Holocaust a "crime without a name." Elie Wiesel, one of its most eloquent survivors, would spend the rest of his life trying to find the words to describe what for many seemed incomprehensible. As CAMERA tells the Washington Free Beacon: that Wiesel often succeeded is a testament to his greatness.
The Washington Post continues its long-standing magic trick of making the Palestinian Authority disappear. In fact, the Authority, which rules over the majority of Palestinians, is slowly eroding. The many media outlets who have refused to hold the PA accountable share the blame for its failures.
The Washington Post is failing. In more than half a dozen reports on Israel's counterterrorist operation in Jenin, the Post repeatedly failed to provide crucial context and essential facts. The failures are so endemic, and so pronounced, that they raise questions about the future of the newspaper's coverage of the Israel-Islamist conflict.
At the beginning of July, Israeli Defense Forces launched a major counterterrorist operation in Jenin. Many mainstream news outlets failed to provide essential context about the raid. As CAMERA tells the Washington Examiner, the Palestinian Authority's support for terrorism, both implicit and otherwise, have given the leading state sponsor of terror, Iran, an opening to attack Israel.
Far from informing readers, a recent Washington Post backgrounder on Palestinian Islamic Jihad echoed the terrorist group's propaganda. Indeed, the Post's attempt to provide essential background was riddled with errors of both omission and co-mission.
The Washington Post is running a veritable “Committee to Investigate Israel.” Despite being cash-strapped and resource starved, the newspaper has launched multiple costly “investigations” into IDF counter terror raids in Judea and Samaria. And all omit crucial facts while relying on distorted statistics.
A recent Washington Post report uncritically repeated casualty statistics provided by the Palestinian "Ministry of Health." Yet as CAMERA told the Post, that "ministry" is run by Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist group.
