The anti-Jewish bigotry that characterizes the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement has become even more apparent as BDS activists have created a local map in Massachusetts to target Jews for being Jews. CAMERA’s backgrounder documents the fundamental anti-Jewish nature of this movement and how it has become a haven for anti-Semites to indulge their racism.
Blood libels are nurtured by hatred and weakened by exposure. In the second of our "Blood Libel" articles, we take a closer look at how Palestinian and BDS activists, in particular, have used the pandemic to libel and incite against Israel.
NPR and Rolling Stone interviewed Ms. Rachel, the popular children's YouTube entertainer, in advance of her first album's debut. Her sideshow activism for Gaza dominated the interviews, but Ms. Rachel was asked no hard questions. Sadly, she taught neither outlet that "J" is for "journalism."
The latest Albanese antisemitism-related fiasco is pertinent information regarding a figure whom the media have spent years presenting as an Israel expert – someone whose every utterance many journalists deem newsworthy, CAMERA Español’s Masha Gabriel writes in The Jerusalem Post.
