In the lust libels alleging Israel’s use of widespread rape and sexual assault, every lurid lie is fit for print and worthy of the public consciousness, however ludicrous or unsubstantiated, CAMERA's Tamar Sternthal writes in JNS. Nothing is unspeakable.
Blink and you might miss it. AP devotes just 28 words to Arab responsibility for the 1948 "Nakba," and only 22 words to Arab responsibility for the 2023-2026 Gaza calamity, or the "new Nakba" as the news agency calls it.
AP amends after ignoring that the Temple Mount is Judaism's most sacred site. In Gaza Strip coverage, the wire service corrects a headline which upgraded to fact an unverified claim about Israeli military culpability in the death of over 20 aid-seekers and also deletes misleading reporting on the U.N.'s own information regarding theft of humanitarian aid.
One day after the publication of yet another detailed study identifying serious flaws and anomalies in Hamas-supplied figures for fatalities incurred in Israel's Gaza Strip offensive, AP ran a headline and article which cited the terror organization's disputed and highly questionable figures as fact without even providing attribution.
Where is AP's vaunted transparency when it comes to the independent U.S. intelligence about the Hamas command center? Like a Hamas weapons cache hidden away in Shifa's MRI ward, deliberate and deceptive concealment ironically finds a home in a place of supposedly total transparency.
