ABC failed to include in its reporting significant problems with the process used by the International Association of Genocide Scholars. Nor does the network appear to have covered the detailed BESA Center report debunking the genocide libel.
The Guardian and the Independent joined a campaign coordinated by pro-BDS NGO Avaaz and Reporters Without Borders that libels Israel as deliberately killing journalists. Relying on inflated, terror-linked casualty lists and copy-pasted NGO claims, their reporting amounted to churnalism: advocacy dressed up as journalism.
BBC coverage of the IPC Gaza famine report leaned heavily on UN and NGO claims while failing to provide critical context. Five separate reports repeated unverified Hamas figures, ignored Israeli statements, and failed to address issues such as aid theft, black-market profiteering, or UN distribution failures.
The Guardian’s “83% civilian” claim depends on the bizarre premise that if a Palestinian killed in Gaza is not marked as dead on a particular IDF list of named terrorists, they are necessarily a civilian. Ignoring thousands of unnamed fighters killed and omitting key context, the paper spun Hamas propaganda as fact.
Norman Finkelstein said that the October 7 attack "warmed every fiber of his soul" and that Gaza was a "concentration camp" before that day. But the problem with the "open-air prison" narrative is that it's just not true.
For nearly two years, Haaretz has amplified the false claim that Israel is “starving” Gaza, relying on a long-time anti-Israel activist and misleading images of sick children whose conditions had nothing to do with hunger. UN data and multiple expert reviews have repeatedly shown no famine exists. Yet the campaign continues.
