Hamas has alleged (without evidence) that Gazans have been effectively "evaporated" by science-fiction-like extreme-heat munitions, leaving no recoverable bodies, a charge which the Israeli military has emphatically denied. WIRED, which prides itself on rigorous investigation and technological expertise, took the outlandish claim and put it in a cover story.
The BBC parroted without qualification a claim from Hamas' civil defense organization that an Israeli military strike in the Gaza Strip killed an emergency medical worker. The network later ignored information that in fact "first responder" Hazem Rami Ali Aidi commanded a cell which carried out Oct. 7 atrocities.
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.
It’s impossible not to see within Goodall’s caricature of an all-powerful Israel nefariously determining the fate of the world an evocation of toxic conspiratorial tropes about Jewish or Israeli power – a cabal of bad actors representing an organic obstacle to peace and progress.
The BBC continues to ignore the abuse of journalism by terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah, not least by failing to adequately report on the collaboration between such organizations and media outlets such as Al Jazeera.
Readers who thought they were about to listen to, or read about, a human interest story from Gaza were instead treated to lies about Israel and denial of terrorism.
NBC's recent reporting on Lebanon had various layers of bias, including buried facts, omitted facts, and wrong information. The result was a lack of accuracy, balance and context.
On the border with Lebanon, Israeli residents described their daily realities of instability, sleeplessness, and the constant need for resilience amid war with Hezbollah and Iran. Outside of Israel, International Quds Day drew tens of thousands of demonstrators, rallying in support of designated terrorist organizations.
