Israel is the primary obstacle to Palestinian unity, reports AFP, ignoring that Hamas is a terror organization. From Gaza's civilian casualties and food shortages in the north to the Temple Mount's status in Judaism, the wire service fails to safeguard its charter calling for accuracy and impartiality.
Hamas' targeting of Jewish civilians is part and parcel of its mission — as set out in its governing Covenant or Charter — to "fight the Jews and kill them and to replace Israel with an Islamic state.

The moral equivalent of such an obscene racist swipe, though aimed at another historically oppressed minority, was used in the title of a documentary produced by The Guardian newspaper.
Reuters corrects after wrongly reporting that the slain husband of a Turmus Ayya widow who met with Amb. Mike Huckabee was a U.S. citizen killed by settlers. The news agency has declined to clarify, however, that Omar Jabaran Qattin was a verified Hamas operative.
The Wall Street Journal has embedded the theological drivers of Jewish extremism deeply into its coverage ecosystem while leaving Palestinian terror ideology entirely unexamined, CAMERA's Darcie Grunblatt writes in JNS.
It's unacceptable that media reporting on fatalities incurred in Israeli military operations almost never note that the combatant to civilian ratio is 1:1 in Lebanon and 1:2 in the Gaza Strip, CAMERA's Shay Khatiri writes in JNS.
Despite extensive citation of the NGO in their coverage of Israel and Gaza, the BBC and New York Times have yet to report on Amnesty International’s findings on Hamas’ extrajudicial killings, CAMERA's Maia Zelkha writes at JNS.
