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.
In a single CNN broadcast, Christiane Amanpour permitted guests to accuse the "Zionist government" of executing a "final solution," ignored extensive evidence of Hamas operating in the exact hospitals where her doctor guests volunteered, and concealed critical source biases.
While the Financial Times uncritically cites a UN claim that "Gaza now has the highest rate of child amputees per capita in the world," there appears to be no original source for that increasingly ubiquitous allegation.
The Norwegian Refugee Council's Communications Adviser, Shaina Low, blamed Israel exclusively for all suffering in Gaza since the war began while lamenting the lack of sufficient aid, including dual-use items such as concrete, cement, rebar, and lubricant oil.
A CAMERA Espanol study of EFE's post-Oct. 7 coverage finds anti-Israel libels -- from organ harvesting, to snipers targeting infants and the bombing of the Minab girls' school in Iran -- levelling up as supposedly legitimate news. Meanwhile, Hamas and Hezbollah violence melts away as episodic or nonexistent background noise.
Calling Israel’s rejection of Trump’s Gaza proposal an 'anti-peace' move frames security concerns as unimportant and oversimplifies 'peace' as a concept that means the same thing to everyone.

The New York Times (re)introduced its audience to, and promoted the work of, Gazan blood-libel-photojournalist Saher Alghorra. Alghorra was unable to photograph a single Hamas fighter, but last year, photographed an emaciated baby who The Times later had to acknowledge was not healthy before the war, as the caption initially stated.
The Guardian shouldn’t be seen as a respectable media outlet or simply one that is “far left,” CAMERA's Adam Levick writes in JNS. Rather, it's an propaganda organ that fuels antisemitism in the United Kingdom.
CNN cited the Reporters Without Borders index to illustrate a decline in Israeli press freedom. But why is Israel ranked lower than Qatar and even Western Sahara on the Reporters Without Borders Index?
