In a Channel 4 Dispatches (UK) anti-Israel documentary whose 49-minute running time references Hamas only once, glosses over the Oct. 7 massacre in its first two minutes, sources its video footage to Hamas sympathisers and platforms individuals with a history of activism and close rapport with Hamas operatives - without disclosing either - what, then, are the film's producers really supporting?
Motaz Azaiza dazzled the Western media with his coverage of the war in Gaza for four months, before he left. But when he revealed that Hamas controls the narratives that come out of Gaza, the press suddenly had nothing to say, CAMERA's Jennifer Kouzi writes at JNS.
Gaza’s civilian deaths have become a weapon in the information war, creating a dangerous incentive to put civilians in harm’s way, CAMERA's Leah Benoz writes in The Jerusalem Post.
“NAZA” claims to “describe things as they really are.” Based on Yuval Abraham’s track record, the film expects a gullible audience to blindly trust but not verify, CAMERA's Shlomi Ben-Meir writes in TheWrap.

Imagine for a moment if a far-right U.S. filmmaker made an anti-black documentary with a variation of the “N”-word as the title, but without the “r” at the end, CAMERA's Adam Levick writes at JNS. 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.
