Gaza’s civilian deaths have become a weapon in the information war, creating a dangerous incentive to put civilians in harm’s way, CAMERA's Leah Benoz writes in The Jerusalem Post.
“NAZA” claims to “describe things as they really are.” Based on Yuval Abraham’s track record, the film expects a gullible audience to blindly trust but not verify, CAMERA's Shlomi Ben-Meir writes in TheWrap.

Yet, their hateful views weren't challenged or revealed - in violation of BBC Arabic's own editorial standards.
It's unacceptable that media reporting on fatalities incurred in Israeli military operations almost never note that the combatant to civilian ratio is 1:1 in Lebanon and 1:2 in the Gaza Strip, CAMERA's Shay Khatiri writes in JNS.
