"Celebrate the victory" British political commentator Sami Hamdi enthused just days after Hamas' Oct. 7 slaughter of 1200 Israelis and foreigners. "How many of you felt the euphoria?" AP spins Hamdi's documented euphoria over Hamas' genocidal attack into an unconfirmed accusation.
Hamas in Gaza mirrors Hezbollah in Lebanon, and failed media coverage of the former mirrors failed media coverage of the latter. This flawed media coverage, ignoring Arab violations of the ceasefire and casting Israel as an unprovoked bully, is full of mirrors — none of them clarifying.
A recent Washington Post editorial rightly called out Hamas for violating the ceasefire. But as CAMERA documents, other recent Post coverage has missed the mark.
A recent op-ed in the New York Times heavily implied that Israel built Hamas. But as CAMERA tells the Washington Examiner, the terror group's roots go back nearly a century.
In some journalists' looking-glass view, when Palestinians attack Israelis, the ceasefire is not tested and tensions are not roiled. But when Israel dares to respond to the Palestinian attack? It is only at that point, according to this warped depiction, that the tense quiet is shaken and all is no longer well.
Matthew Cassel’s Guardian film, “‘Our Genocide’,” is an egregious example of a propagandist—under the guise of journalism—telling readers exactly what they want to hear about Israel’s putative villainy.
Throughout a month of extensive coverage of the latest flotilla stunt, the BBC failed to inform audiences about its organizers, motives, or legality—choosing instead to amplify absurd claims and promote the ‘famine’ and ‘genocide’ narratives it embraced long ago.
On a recent podcast, Megyn Kelly said that “Israel needs to wrap up this war .... This is a crisis for Israel, [a] PR crisis,” and Bill Ackman reports that young conservatives are “getting tired of defending Israel.”
The BBC’s latest report on Israel’s strike in Doha downplayed Qatar’s role as Hamas’ sponsor, omitting its financing of terrorism, hosting of Hamas leaders, and ties to Iran. Instead, readers were presented with partisan narratives while critical context on Hamas-Qatar collaboration was left out.
