Allegations and Libels

Foreign Policy Editor Tolerates Anti-Jewish Slanders

Foreign Policy is an influential publication and Web site. FP’s editor-in-chief Susan Glasser, appearing as a guest (Oct. 9, 2012) on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal, tolerated callers’ anti-Jewish slanders.

Sam Bacile and the One Hundred Jewish Donors

The media was all too willing to run with the dubious story that an Israeli-American named Sam Bacile backed by one hundred Jewish donors was behind the film that sparked outrage in the Muslim world.

At Ha’aretz, English Translation Takes a Beating

Yesterday's English headline is a classic case of "Ha'aretz, Lost in Translation." Why write that an elderly Palestinian man was pushed (as the original, and accurate, Hebrew version did), if  "beat[en]" is so much more compelling?

Ha’aretz Allegation of War Crime Unfounded

Yitzhak Laor claims that, in the first Lebanon war, the IDF "blew up the mosque in Ain al-Hilweh with hundreds of people barricaded inside, including children." His own source does not support his baseless claim, the latest Laor blood libel.

Recent press attention has focused on the repatriation of illegal African migrants from Israel.

None has included mention of Israel's history of welcoming refugees from around the globe.

Fake Mandela Quote Gets Past Eight PC(USA) Forums

The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) is considering an anti-Israel resolution that includes a quote falsely attributed to Nelson Mandela. The fake quote got passed five Presbyteries and three PC(USA) committees.

Presspectiva Editor-in-Chief Published in Ha’aretz

Yishai Goldflam, editor-in-chief of Presspectiva, CAMERA's Hebrew Web site, published an Op-Ed column in Ha'aretz, faulting that paper and other Israeli media for spreading the falsehood that Israel maintains "Jewish-only" roads in the West Bank. This is significant, especially since the fiction of "Jewish-only" roads features prominently in "Israel apartheid" mythology and is frequently cited by anti-Israel and pro-BDS agitators.

Discriminatory Lies and Discriminatory Laws in The New York Times

The claim that Israel has 35 laws that discriminate against Arab citizens is a transparently false canard meant to delegitimize the Jewish state. But that did not prevent the New York Times from publishing it, in violation of codes of ethics requiring accuracy even in the opinion pages.
