Peace Now’s Blunder: Erred on Ma’ale Adumim Land by 15,900 Percent
Peace Now claimed in an October 2006 report that Israeli settlements are situated mostly on “private Palestinian land,” and in particular that the territory of the largest settlement, Ma’ale Adumim, is 86.4 percent “private Palestinian land.” Turns out they were a little off. Seattle Post-Intelligencer Publishes CAMERA Op-Ed
After two opinion pieces in the Post-Intelligencer celebrated Seattle's hosting of a play about International Solidarity Movement (ISM) activist Rachel Corrie, a CAMERA guest column pointed out that the ISM's extremist ideology distorts understanding of the Middle East. The newspaper's summary of CAMERA's column reads: "Her death was tragic, but the group mentoring Corrie was geared toward more toward building hatred against Israel than toward forwarding peace."
Guardian’s False Apartheid Charges—Part II
Part two of CAMERA's investigation into Chris McGreal's Guardian feature comparing Israel to apartheid South Africa reveals more erroneous and distorted reporting by the newspaper's Middle East correspondent.
The Anti-Iraq War Movement’s Anti-Israel ANSWER
CAMERA asks: Why has the anti-war movement become so intertwined with anti-Israel acitvism?
LA Times’ Uncritical ‘Review’ of Corrie Play
In his Los Angeles Times review of the British play "My Name is Rachel Corrie," David Gritten describes Rachel Corrie as "a relatively obscure name in her native U.S," one of several distortions about the American who interfered in a closed military area in the Gaza Strip and was killed accidentally.
Chicago Tribune Public Editor Lauds Sabeel
In his October 20th column, Chicago Tribune public editor Don Wycliff weighed in on the debate surrounding Sabeel, a Jerusalem-based Palestinian Christian organization which is accused of reviving the anti-Semitic "teaching of contempt" dogma long repudiated by most of the Christian world. Wycliff stated that the organization does "classy work."
What is Human Rights Watch’s Agenda?
The U.S.-based, non-governmental organization (NGO), Human Rights Watch, is a self-appointed arbiter of human rights abuses around the world. Theirs would be a noble and worthy mission if it were carried out objectively, without regard to political or ideological agenda. Regrettably, this is not the case.
Public Health News Turns to ISM Activist for Article on Palestinian Health
“Public Health News” is a British weekly print and online journal distributed free of charge to British public health
professionals, with a circulation of over 14,000. A collaborative project of such eminent professional
organizations as the Royal Institute of Public Health, the Chartered Institute
of Environmental Health, the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health, the
Faculty of Public Health, and others, it provides news and features on the
latest issues in this medically-related field. It is puzzling and disturbing that such a publication would turn – not
to a health professional – but to an anti-Israel activist for an article
on health issues in the West Bank and Gaza. The author, Sarah Irving, is part
of the notorious International Solidarity Movement, a group that justifies
terrorism and supports “armed struggle” against Israel.
Whitewashing ISM
Members of the pro-Palestinian group openly condone terrorism, but to many journalists they are "peace activists."
