In covering the U.N. Commission of Inquiry’s report, “‘The essence of childhood has been destroyed’: Israel’s deliberate targeting of Palestinian children in the Occupied Palestinian Territory since 7 October, 2023,” The New York Times, CNN, Reuters, and NBC blindly parroted its contents while completely ignoring critical questions and counter-critiques.
During this past weekend's broadcasts on MS NOW, panelists and guests repeatedly flattened the strict legal definition of genocide into a casual political talking point. Genocide is a legal term, and whether a state committed it must be proved in court, not in the newsroom.
The Guardian's Arwa Mahdawi accused Gwyneth Paltrow of "Gwynocide" for starring in an Israeli ad. As Howard Jacobsen noted, "There is a sadistic triumphalism in charging Jews with genocide," CAMERA's Adam Levick writes in The Jewish Chronicle.
Sky News presenter Yalda Hakim interviewed Jeremy Scahill, a “journalist” with Drop Site News, known for promoting pro-Hamas and pro-Iranian regime propaganda, and failed to challenge any of his extremist views.
Today, we are witnessing a coordinated effort to collapse the boundaries of law and language to target the State of Israel. By aiding the campaign to redefine genocide, news outlets are actively eroding the post-war liberal framework and transforming international law into a tool of state propaganda.
The Guardian says antisemitism must be confronted, yet repeatedly platforms voices and narratives that fuel hostility toward the Jewish people and the Jewish state. From amplifying extremist rhetoric to normalizing inflammatory smears against Israel immediately after October 7, the paper’s editorial choices reveal a glaring contradiction at the heart of modern media discourse. You cannot claim to oppose antisemitism while mainstreaming false narratives that drive it.
For the fifth time in two years, we prompted a correction at the Guardian over the erroneous claim that the ICJ ruled "genocide" was "plausibly" taking place in Gaza.
One of the supposedly “respectable institutions” that has taken such pro-Hamas propaganda laundering to the most extreme level is the Guardian – an outlet that has spread libel after libel about the Jewish state and – by extension – Jews qua Jews, thus contributing to the antisemitism epidemic in the U.K.
At the beginning of the week, 16-year-old Libby told the BBC that a man screamed at her that she had committed genocide, CAMERA's Leah Benoz writes in JNS. The BBC spent the rest of the week telling her attacker that the genocide was real.
Though the headline of a Francesca Albanese profile published at British Vogue, “Francesca Albanese Wants The World To Wake Up”, is a reference to her new book’s 'insight' into injustices against Palestinians, her long record of hateful rhetoric suggests what she wants “the world to wake up” to is the threat posed by Jews.
