The New York Times' faulty news judgement has struck again – front page coverage of the seven Palestinian students in Gaza who were temporarily denied their Fulbright scholarships, but none of a major French court decision in the famed Muhammad al Dura case. The court decided in favor of a critic's right to charge the event was a "hoax." 
Clemson Philosophy Professor Todd May calls for an end to all aid to Israel and accuses the Jewish state of committing a "slow-motion genocide" against the Palestinians despite all evidence to the contrary. 
The Independent's Johann Hari blames allegedly untreated sewage from Jewish settlements for a "stinking brown-and yellow-river of waste" on Palestinian land, when in fact it is Palestinian sewage which is dumped completely untreated. 
Update: The French Court of Appeal rules to overturn the lower court ruling that found Philippe Karsenty guilty of defaming France 2 and Charles Enderlin. 
CAMERA's Op-Ed, published on April 21 in the Jerusalem Post, discusses an example of how media coverage greatly benefitted from swift and effective response by Israeli officials, and concludes that nothing in the war of ideas and images takes the place of the all-important work of refuting defamation. 
The United Methodist Church has published a shamefully biased and inaccurate book about the Arab-Israeli conflict that portrays the Jewish people as too paranoid and psychologically damaged by the Holocaust to be trusted with self-determination. 
"Israel Lobby" professors Walt and Mearsheimer charge that because of its alleged misdeeds Israel is an unworthy ally of the U.S., and cite as proof numerous seemingly damaging "quotations" from Israeli leaders. The problem is that all the quotations are from secondary sources or worse, and all are false. 
After a writer accuses "the Jews" of being the biggest players in the global culture of violence that is destroying humanity, the Washingtonpost.com and Newsweek moderators apologize: "The Gandhi post failed to comply with [our] mission ... We regret the initial posting, and we apologize for the episode." 
A Los Angeles Times op-ed by Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer spewed more of the authors anti-Israel inaccuracies and was accompanied by an anti-Semitic cartoon more at home in a neo-Nazi publication than a supposedly major newspaper. For years, Charles Enderlin of French public television network France 2 has been battling accusations that his September 30, 2000 newscast of a Palestinian boy allegedly shot to death by Israelis was staged. The Israeli government has now joined the chorus of voices that insist the broadcast was staged for propaganda purposes.
