Post-Oct. 7, one would have at least hoped that there would be some soul-searching among supporters of the Palestinian cause and a reaction along the lines of “this is not how we imagined Palestinian resistance” or a “not in my name” campaign. However, neither distancing nor clarity was to be, CAMERA's Adam Levick writes in JNS.
Violent Israeli attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank have decreased by 25 percent since March. Yahya Sinwar's handwritten memo showed he planned the October 7 massacre despite believing Israel would retaliate with all its might, including possible use of nuclear weapons. A British-Israeli dual citizen who served in the IDF was awarded counsel fees in the UK after a court found the attempt to prosecute him to be egregious.
The New York Times reported that activists in San Francisco harassed Scott Wiener, a state senator from California, ostensibly over his views on Israel. But the Times barely acknowledged Wiener's Jewishness, downplaying critical context that suggests the plausible conclusion that Wiener was harassed because of his identity—not his views.
In an article about Wikipedia, The New York Times engaged in dangerous partisan gaslighting by framing as a right-wing culture war a heavily documented, coordinated campaign of digital revisionism against Jews, their land and history.
From the Committee to Protect Journalists to the news outlets sympathetically covering them (with senior journalists on their board), Hamas terrorists have been misrepresented as journalists.
Just as medieval Europe’s Good Friday sermons helped turn Jews into a demonic abstraction deserving of punishment, the Ashura sermons at IHW risk doing the same in 21st-century Michigan.
NBC recast pro-terror politician Darializa Avila Chevalier as a "vocal critic of Israel." In reality, she is a co-founder of Columbia University Apartheid Divest, an organization that fully supports "Palestinian resistance." As an alumna, she helped organize the Columbia encampments, blocked police from entering Hamilton Hall when protestors commandeered it, and refused to condemn Hamas or their acts on October 7.
