Using the current Israel-Hamas ceasefire as their cue to place Palestinian terrorists on equal footing as innocent Israeli hostages, some underperforming journalists are sanitizing the bloody records of hardcore terrorists.
Bloomberg's Joumanna Bercetche erroneously reports that a ceasefire deal would see "the exchange of hostages and Palestinian political prisoners." Imprisoned Palestinians potentially to be freed are all affiliated with designated terror organizations and/or engaged in terror activity. None are in jail due to protected political activity.
The flip side of widespread false reporting last May that Hamas accepted the ceasefire proposal on the table, ABC fabricates that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has so far rejected President Biden's plan.
After Alhurra repeatedly reported as fact Hamas' claim that it accepted a ceasefire proposal, CAMERA prompts the publicly-funded American Arabic-language network to add the State Department's unequivocal response: "Hamas did not accept a ceasefire proposal."
CAMERA prompts correction of a Los Angeles Times article which inaccurately reported that "Hamas had accepted terms of a cease-fire." As the U.S. State Department made explicitly clear: "Hamas did not accept a ceasefire proposal."
Media outlets uncritically reported as fact Hamas' false claim that the terror organization accepted the Gaza ceasefire proposal, completely ignoring the State Department's unequivocal clarification: "Hamas did not accept a ceasefire proposal."
After CAMERA's communication with senior editors, ABC corrected a piece that had wrongly suggested Israel was in violation of a ceasefire agreement that had not yet come into effect.
