Even leaving aside how ludicrous it is to claim that the pro-Palestinian movement, which, since the Hamas massacre, has held countless rallies in the UK, some of them drawing hundreds of thousands of protesters, is “disenfranchised,” Jonathan Liew's defense of illegal acts of vandalism which serve to further intimidate a tiny, beleaguered Jewish community which has faced a tsunami of antisemitism over the last two and a half years is, even by Guardian standards, truly despicable.
It’s extremely dispiriting that, with all Max Hastings’ erudition, he nonetheless succumbed to mind-numbingly banal cliches and ahistorical arguments about the root cause of violence and instability in the Middle East.
ABC promoted a skewed view of Israel's military actions in Lebanon since the signing of a ceasefire deal in November 2024. The failure to give the full picture misled viewers to believe Israel alone had not performed its obligations under the agreement.
Can Israel’s military be trusted to investigate itself? With its “Video Investigation: How the Israeli military responds to allegations of abuse in Gaza,” NBC News steered its viewers to conclude that Israel has committed war crimes that should be investigated by the world because it has failed to investigate itself.

Over the course of a single week, PBS NewsHour pushed one-sided narratives of Israeli policy, erased American victims of Oct. 7, and offered soft, unchallenged interviews to a repressive Iranian regime. This reporting raises questions over whether it is attempting to inform its viewers or persuade them.
The BBC's pattern of reporting cannot by now be dismissed as isolated cases of errors and omissions. BBC audiences are being serially denied information which would contribute to their understanding of the way in which continued terrorist activity is currently influencing events in the post-ceasefire Gaza Strip.
The Times (London) did a profound disservice to readers and the Jewish community by whitewashing the role played by anti-Zionist extremists in fueling Jew-hatred in Australia leading up to the Bondi Beach massacre.
KCPQ reporter Matthew Smith, of Fox News' Seattle affiliate, egregiously inflated the Palestinian death toll during the Israel-Hamas war as "hundreds of thousands.” He also failed to challenge an activist's genocide libel and grotesque invention that "nearly half" the population was "wiped out."
Instead of a powerful and moving film on the struggles of pregnancy and motherhood in war, the BBC has instead aired a carefully constructed attack on the State of Israel.
