The repeated association of “the Jews” with suspicion, violence or collective guilt suggests an editorial pattern, not technical mistakes. In the latest blunder, El País falsely links Barcelona's targeted Jewish community to Gaza "genocide."
While Amnesty International has explicitly labeled Israel’s actions in Gaza a “genocide,” the organization’s recently published report on Oct. 7 omitted years of statements by Hamas leaders and language from its charter demonstrating genocidal intent against Jews.
In an emotionally manipulative NBC News report, the media outlet claimed that Gaza infants were dying due to a baby formula shortage last summer, placing the blame on Israel. The reality, and recently publicized footage online, show the true culprit.
Hamas apologists continue to deny that mass sexual assaults took place on Oct. 7. In their minds, to do otherwise, would mean accepting that Hamas is a genocidal terrorist organization. The evidence is overwhelming that Hamas used rape as a tool of war against Israeli civilians during their invasion and against Israeli hostages in Gaza.
Shortly after Oct. 7, 2023, Sky News effectively made the decision to frame the war not as an unprovoked antisemitic massacre by a proscribed terrorist group, but primarily on the suffering of Palestinian civilians as the result of the IDF’s putatively “disproportionate” military response to the attacks.
Six years after The Times’ notorious publication of a vile antisemitic cartoon depicting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu as a guide dog wearing a Jewish star collar leading a blind, kippah-clad President Trump, antisemitic tropes take firm root in countless media outlets globally.
The BBC failed in its duty to provide fair and neutral coverage of the atrocities in Bondi and subtly reinforced an unfair and dangerous trope of collective responsibility.
Following the Dec. 14 ISIS-inspired Bondi Beach slaughter at a Chanukah celebration, Time Magazine editor at large Charlie Campbell blamed everyone but the Jew haters for growing antisemitism.
On July 27, 2025, David Collier posted about media complicity in the promotion of a libel against Israel that involved a photo of a tragically sick, emaciated Palestinian baby named Mohammed. The photo was originally taken by the Gaza-based photographer Ahmed Jihad Ibrahim Al-arini and uploaded to his Instagram account on July 22 – framed, falsely, as how Gaza was gripped by ‘mass starvation’ due to alleged Israeli restrictions on aid.
It’s helpful to think of anti-Zionists as akin to addicts, in that, over time, they can’t get sufficiently high off the old anti-Israel canards anymore, and thus continue needing to impute greater degrees of malevolence to the Jewish state in order to maintain the visceral thrill of their belief that they’re fighting pure evil.
