The Telegraph recently reported on a CAMERA study of headlines to reports published on the BBC News website’s dedicated “Israel-Gaza war” page in the two years following the outbreak of the war between Hamas and Israel.
Stories of the abuse of Israeli hostages continue emerging, Iran's interference in Iraqi elections grows, and Israel and India to ink a major defense deal. Plus: as the horrors in Sudan finally start making the headlines, we recall another time the world overlooked atrocities elsewhere to fixate on the Jewish state.
Nearly two years ago, Palestinian terrorists committed gruesome atrocities to cover up the fact that they murdered the Bibas children with their bare hands. This week, deploying a journalistic sleight of hand, The New York Times and Wall Street Journal likewise cover up the barbaric murders of Ariel and Kfir.
Forgotten by journalists and social media commentators alike is that for some former Hamas hostages their plight lasted far longer than just two years.
CAMERA prompts correction of a Jerusalem Post headline and parts of an article which wrongly referred to Israeli and foreign hostages held by Hamas and other terror organizations in the Gaza Strip as "prisoners."
BBC framed a “major escalation” without noting Hamas’s military presence or its fifty hostages. That omission hides the key fact: Palestinian misery could end if Hamas freed them.
Palestinian singer Rola Azar, featured on BBC Arabic’s 'Art for Life,' has a history of antisemitic incitement and support for Hamas terrorism. A CAMERA Arabic investigation highlights how the BBC omitted extremist lyrics and uncritically platformed her, continuing a troubling pattern.
The images of Evyatar David and Rom Braslavski, and the plight of the rest of the hostages cruelly held by their terrorist captors for 668 days, have not gone viral. Instead, much of the media have self-conscripted themselves to a disinformation campaign that serves the interests of a Palestinian movement that’s not only pathologically hostile to Jews, but to the West as well.
