The baseless accusations and non-stories the Guardian is willing to amplify in order to satiate those in thrall to a toxic antizionist and antisemitic worldview are not restrained by even a minimal regard for professional and moral responsibility.
Days after Oct. 7th, 2023, the Guardian began centering the story on the putatively "disproportionate" Israeli military response to the Hamas massacre, rather than on the genocidal terror group’s mass murder, sexual violence, torture and mutilation itself.
Why did Haaretz send a reporter to Istanbul and dedicate extensive space to an event funded by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and headed by disgraced antisemite Richard Falk?
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.
Has the Turkish campaign to recruit the hearts and minds of Muslim allies worked its charm on AFP? The news agency's grossly tendentious depiction of threats to the Gaza ceasefire -- "Israeli strikes and claims of Palestinian attacks" -- suggests that the answer is yes.

CNN, ABC News, NBC News, and The Guardian treated Saleh al-Jafarawi, "Mr. Fafo," as a legitimate journalist. If al-Jafarawi is a "journalist" in the same way their reporters are, then why should the public trust anything these outlets report?

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.
Nearly two years ago, Palestinian terrorists committed gruesome atrocities to cover up the fact that they murdered the Bibas children with their bare hands.
