For nearly two years, Haaretz has amplified the false claim that Israel is “starving” Gaza, relying on a long-time anti-Israel activist and misleading images of sick children whose conditions had nothing to do with hunger. UN data and multiple expert reviews have repeatedly shown no famine exists. Yet the campaign continues.
If information backed up by publicly shared Hamas documents is "unsubstantiated," as The Los Angeles Times suggests, what could possibly constitute substantiation regarding "journalists" moonlighting as terrorists?
Most British media ignored IDF evidence that Anas Al-Sharif, a Hamas commander operating under the guise of an Al Jazeera reporter, was the head of a terrorist cell responsible for rocket attacks. Instead, outlets largely described him as a “journalist,” omitting the long-documented overlap between Hamas operatives and Gaza-based reporters.
An ITV News video report on Gaza by international editor Emma Murphy erased Hamas from the story, framing the destruction solely as “the war that Israel is waging here.” Viewers were not told about Hamas’s use of civilian buildings for military purposes, its booby-trapping of structures, or the Oct. 7 massacre that started the war.
There are no good answers to the predicament Israel faces. The government’s decision is ripe for criticism, but so too would be any other decision. Responsible journalists must not ignore the morally and factually challenging circumstances Israel faces by glossing over competing considerations at play.
Reuters corrects after citing B'Tselem's grossly inflated figure for Israeli domestic water usage. But its article still ignores Israeli data indicating that double the amount of water recommended for daily use in emergency situations is available in the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian singer Rola Azar, featured on BBC Arabic’s 'Art for Life,' has a history of antisemitic incitement and support for Hamas terrorism. A CAMERA Arabic investigation highlights how the BBC omitted extremist lyrics and uncritically platformed her, continuing a troubling pattern.
In the latest illustration of the BBC's self-conscripted PR campaign against the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), their journalists accepted the unevidenced claims of a GHF "whistleblower" at face value, while failing to do real journalism in response to the allegations.
The Washington Post has dispensed with any semblance of ethics and standards, preferring to broadcast Hamas propaganda, and echo Hamas narratives, instead. The newspaper's recent July 30 report is but more evidence of its decline.
Has Israel destroyed the entire global legal order? That’s the grave charge leveled in Suzy Hansen’s New York Magazine essay, “Crimes of the Century: How Israel, with the help of the U.S., broke not only Gaza but the foundations of humanitarian law.” To make her case, Hansen must resort to falsehoods and half-truths.
