CAMERA prompts an Associated Press correction of the false claim that Hamas' Ministry of Health in Gaza "says women and children make up most of the dead." In fact, even the Hamas ministry says less than half are women and children. Scores of news outlets republish AP's correction.
Who is Hussam Abu Safiya, the detained Gaza doctor, behind all of the headlines? What is the media not revealing to its audiences? In fact, under his watch, the Kamal Adwan Hospital was a hub for terrorist activity.
On Christmas day nearly every major news site reported the same story: Christmas in Bethlehem returns after two years of war. While naming Israel as the boogeyman, these reports brushed Islamist extremist violence against Christians under the rug despite reports of at least two attacks in the days before Christmas.
The so-called "right of return" has been a fundamental Palestinian demand ever since the initial effort to eliminate the nascent state of Israel failed 76 years ago, but now AP has upgraded the unfulfilled aspiration into international law.
