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.
Reuters' blatantly false and uncorrected claim that Israel carpet-bombed Beirut's southern suburbs was just one of several recent assaults against the media outlet’s stated commitment to “unbiased and reliable news.”
After he was killed in an IDF strike, several media commentators offered fawning obituaries of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. But as CAMERA told the Washington Examiner magazine, Nasrallah was a butcher, a murderer who was good at organizing and leading other murderers.
The Washington Post is lost in Lebanon. The newspaper's coverage of Israel's recent incursion into Lebanon is rife with errors of omission and misleading misrepresentations. A recent report offers a good example.
Israel has severely degraded Hezbollah, taking out the group's top leaders and operatives. But as CAMERA tells the Washington Examiner, the terrorist organization will remain a threat for the foreseeable future.
A large scale conflict between Israel and Hezbollah would likely result in a substantial loss of life. But as CAMERA tells the Washington Times, a full-scale war could have been averted if only the UN and the Lebanese Armed Forces had done their jobs. They haven't.
Anti-Israel terror groups reliably have their apologists. And so doubts have been raised about whether Nasrallah really made two antisemitic statements. He did.
