A Jan. 2 Op-Ed in which former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert blames Israel for attacks on Jews worldwide is the new year's first chilling validation of the fact that Haaretz does not combat antisemitism. It fuels it.
In a promotional letter to readers, Haaretz English edition editor Esther Solomon provides an otherwise compelling account of antisemitism from the two political extremes. She then urges readers to support Haaretz as a means to squelch wildly inaccurate reporting and anti-Jewish conspiracy theories. It's almost as if she hasn't read her own paper, a publication favored by anti-Jewish bigots like Candace Owens.
In an innovative falsehood, Haaretz publisher Amos Schocken invents that United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803, adopted last November, is "identical" to Security Council Resolution 2334, adopted in 2016. Aside from the fact that they both address Israel and the Palestinians, they are otherwise completely different.
CAMERA prompts a correction at Ynet after the Israeli media outlet wrongly reported: "During his first term, Trump had no contact at all with the Saudis."
Along with the "tsunami" of emigration is a flood of Israeli media misreporting including factual errors, misunderstanding of demographic concepts and the failure to provide critical context. UPDATE: Ynet deletes erroneous references to a "negative migration balance" and adds key context on the departure of recent immigrants who had fled the Russia-Ukraine war.
Why did Haaretz send a reporter to Istanbul and dedicate extensive space to an event funded by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and headed by disgraced antisemite Richard Falk?
CAMERA's Hebrew department prompted corrections in both English and Hebrew after the Israeli daily Haaretz erroneously repeated the false canard that the Gaza Strip is the world's most densely populated place.
A recent Haaretz piece by Dahlia Scheindlin is a masterclass in projection and omissions, portraying the Jewish state as uniquely evil. But as CAMERA notes the report is riddled with falsehoods and half-truths.
Hamas "knows about the ethics of war and how to look after the prisoners of war it holds," writes Hanin Majadli in Haaretz. Just try to tell that to Avera Mengistu or Hisham al-Sayed. Oh, no, never mind. The two mentally ill Israeli civilians are held completely incommunicado, in gross violation of international law.
The Times' claim that Palestinian Tayseer Mleitat was killed by Israeli troops "at a protest" is a gross misrepresentation of information available in the paper's own archives: he was part of a crowd of hundreds which targeted soldiers with Molotov cocktails and rocks.
