Shortly after Oct. 7, 2023, Sky News effectively made the decision to frame the war not as an unprovoked antisemitic massacre by a proscribed terrorist group, but primarily on the suffering of Palestinian civilians as the result of the IDF’s putatively “disproportionate” military response to the attacks.
The BBC's Jeremy Bowen promoted the decidedly not “in-depth” (but definitely predictable) narrative that it is Israel that is “the problem” in the Golan Heights border area.
CAMERA prompts correction at The Los Angeles Times after the paper briefly resurrected Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida from the dead. A September speech following his August death would have been a truly unprecedented feat. But the truth is more mundane.
Six years after The Times’ notorious publication of a vile antisemitic cartoon depicting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu as a guide dog wearing a Jewish star collar leading a blind, kippah-clad President Trump, antisemitic tropes take firm root in countless media outlets globally.
Alex Rossi’s inability to distinguish between the leadership of an antisemitic death cult and their Jewish victims shows clearly that he is the last person at Sky who should be reporting on anti-Jewish terror in Australia, or anywhere else in the world.
The Telegraph recently reported on a CAMERA study of headlines to reports published on the BBC News website’s dedicated “Israel-Gaza war” page in the two years following the outbreak of the war between Hamas and Israel.
Despite the fact that Hamas openly acknowledges that some 200 armed combatants holed up in tunnels under Rafah are its fighters, a Reuters' story today called them "civilians." Following correspondence from CAMERA, the wire service pulled the story.
Recent reports by the Washington Post and NPR highlight alleged Israeli human rights abuses. But as CAMERA points out, the reports only serve to showcase the reporter's ignorance and lack of journalistic due diligence.
This week: released terrorists rewarded with luxury; Lebanon's failure to disarm Hezbollah risks disaster; a violent antisemite gets prison time; and a throwback to a less-than-prescient speech by former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
