An ITV News video report on Gaza by international editor Emma Murphy erased Hamas from the story, framing the destruction solely as “the war that Israel is waging here.” Viewers were not told about Hamas’s use of civilian buildings for military purposes, its booby-trapping of structures, or the Oct. 7 massacre that started the war.
There are no good answers to the predicament Israel faces. The government’s decision is ripe for criticism, but so too would be any other decision. Responsible journalists must not ignore the morally and factually challenging circumstances Israel faces by glossing over competing considerations at play.
Reuters corrects after citing B'Tselem's grossly inflated figure for Israeli domestic water usage. But its article still ignores Israeli data indicating that double the amount of water recommended for daily use in emergency situations is available in the Gaza Strip.
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.
AP amends after ignoring that the Temple Mount is Judaism's most sacred site. In Gaza Strip coverage, the wire service corrects a headline which upgraded to fact an unverified claim about Israeli military culpability in the death of over 20 aid-seekers and also deletes misleading reporting on the U.N.'s own information regarding theft of humanitarian aid.
In the latest illustration of the BBC's self-conscripted PR campaign against the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), their journalists accepted the unevidenced claims of a GHF "whistleblower" at face value, while failing to do real journalism in response to the allegations.
Propagandistic headlines of the past week that exaggerate suffering and put the blame only on one side have most likely served only to prolong the war, along with the misery on both sides.
Has Israel destroyed the entire global legal order? That’s the grave charge leveled in Suzy Hansen’s New York Magazine essay, “Crimes of the Century: How Israel, with the help of the U.S., broke not only Gaza but the foundations of humanitarian law.” To make her case, Hansen must resort to falsehoods and half-truths.
Channel 4 aired "Gaza: Doctors Under Attack" without disclosing that the film’s co-producer had publicly praised the October 7 massacre and glorified a deadly terror attack months earlier. A CAMERA Arabic investigation exposes the ethical lapse in transparency by both the network and the filmmakers.
