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.
In the weeks surrounding Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), a slew of publications used graphics as a tool to demonize Israel, relying on the cynical weaponization of Jewish trauma and visual stereotyping.
The Guardian just published a glowing feature on Omer Bartov and his new book accusing Israel of genocide. Bartov wasn't even challenged when he told the outlet that the "charge of antisemitism has grown hollow" due to its “weaponization” as “a tool to shut people up.”
Anti-Israel U.S. Senate hopeful Graham Platner covered up his Nazi tattoo. When NBC profiled Platner's position on the current military conflict in Iran, it covered up Platner's other views of actors in the region. Readers were given no information with regard to Platner's anti-Israel vitriol, appreciation for Hamas' terror tactics, or fondness for antisemitic, Israel-obsessed influencers.
WIRED's game-changing cover story states as fact Hamas propaganda that Israel used a weapon which vaporized bodies into thin air, creating the moment in which Condé Nast's trusted technology magazine loses all credibility.
