Same day reporting by CNN, Reuters, The Washington Post, and The New York Times framed the incident near Tell as a case of settler violence, while omitting key details. Because these mainstream media failed to do their jobs, it befell to CAMERA to investigate who the individuals involved in the incident were.
BBC fails to provide critical context on Palestinian leadership and governance in coverage of the eighth Fatal General Conference, an event whose flag displays rifles, a grenade and an Israel-erasing map of "greater Palestine."
The BBC has chosen to promote claims made by the lawyer who last December described it as “pro-genocide and pro-apartheid.” The fact that Yolande Knell did not confirm the allegations – and failed to provide audiences with the full range of information concerning the convicted terrorist who made them – apparently does not worry the corporation that claims to provide “news you can trust.”
Marwan Barghouti has been lauded by Hollywood celebrities and dubbed the “Palestinian Nelson Mandela.” But the reality is that he’s a cold-blooded murderer.
Under the guise of advocating for Palestinian Christians, Tucker Carlson launched a two-pronged assault on American Christian support for the Jewish State. To provide legitimacy for his campaign, he enlisted the help of Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac, a notorious propagandist for the Palestinian anti-Israel narrative.
Fatah, the movement that dominates the Palestinian Authority, has a long history of intimidating and harassing journalists. But as CAMERA tells the Washington Times this is a story that the media ignores.
This week, both Hamas in Gaza and Fatah's Tanzim in the West Bank benefit from what is apparently AFP's equal opportunity tilt in the service of terror groups.
Terrorist groups and autocrats routinely use intimidation to influence press coverage to their advantage. As CAMERA noted in a recent Washington Examiner op-ed, the Taliban, for example, has a long history of threatening journalists. And, as a recent assault by Fatah against two Washington Post reporters illustrates, the practice extends from Kabul to Ramallah and beyond.
Hamas, the U.S.-designated terrorist group that rules the Gaza Strip, is making inroads in the West Bank. The genocidal terrorist organization is looking to supplant, Fatah, the movement that controls the U.S.-backed Palestinian Authority, and is gaining in popularity. Yet, as CAMERA noted in the Washington Examiner, too many press and policymakers are seemingly oblivious.
As CAMERA highlighted in a recent National Review Op-Ed: For the Palestinian leaders who choose to promote them, intifadas are often self-defeating. Going back to the first intifada in the 1930s, anti-Jewish violence and terror often upsets the Palestinian political landscape—often sweeping aside, or weakening, the very Palestinian leaders responsible for inciting them.
