A Telegraph article on the struggles of cancer patients in Gaza ignored Hamas’ role in the territory’s healthcare crisis, and conveyed the pre-determined narrative of Israeli responsibility while failing to reach out to COGAT, the agency responsible for the transfer of medicine and the approval of permits for treatment abroad.
In covering the U.N. Commission of Inquiry’s report, “‘The essence of childhood has been destroyed’: Israel’s deliberate targeting of Palestinian children in the Occupied Palestinian Territory since 7 October, 2023,” The New York Times, CNN, Reuters, and NBC blindly parroted its contents while completely ignoring critical questions and counter-critiques.

During this past weekend's broadcasts on MS NOW, panelists and guests repeatedly flattened the strict legal definition of genocide into a casual political talking point. Genocide is a legal term, and whether a state committed it must be proved in court, not in the newsroom.

Tricia Miller, Director of CAMERA’s Partnership of Christians and Jews, joined Christian Friends of Leket Israel to discuss what it means for Christians to stand with the Jewish people.
Middle East correspondent Yolande Knell provided what was framed as a deep dive into the volatile property disputes of East Jerusalem.

CNBC interviewed Palestinian diplomat Husam Zomlot. The hosts deserve credit for pushing back on many of Zomlot's outrageous statements, but there was still a lot that went unaddressed.
The Wrap editors agreed that a report detailing U.N. accusations charging Israel of sexual violence was remiss not to note the Jewish state's denial and commendably acted to add the Jewish state's missing information.
Sky News presenter Yalda Hakim interviewed Jeremy Scahill, a “journalist” with Drop Site News, known for promoting pro-Hamas and pro-Iranian regime propaganda, and failed to challenge any of his extremist views.
