Beyond the ‘Freedom School’: The Story CNN Did Not Tell About Umm al-Khair
A CNN broadcast accused Carmel's Israeli residents of using a security fence to block Palestinian children from attending school. CAMERA's investigation found that a safe alternative route is readily available and exposed the documented antisemitic threats that originally necessitated the barrier.
Economist columnist treats Palestinian terrorists like children
One of the most fundamental tenets of liberal Western democracy is that moral standards are universal, and that there can be no exceptions to this principle due to race, religion, ethnicity or any other mere accident of birth.

Video: The truth about West Bank violence
Ali Velshi’s absurd falsehood that “all of the violence in the West Bank has been settler violence on Palestinians” isn’t just untrue. It’s wildly offensive. It erases the victims of Palestinian terrorism and whitewashes the reality of Israelis who have to live with it on a daily basis.
Comparing the BBC and Al Jazeera style guides

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.
BBC documentary sees a two-sided peace movement but a one-sided war
To produce a documentary about a peace movement which only shows pain, suffering, and trauma on one side, and lays all agency, responsibility, and violence at the feet of the other, is a narrative decision which fails catastrophically in the BBC’s commitment to impartiality and accuracy.
AP’s Wobbly Facts on Beit Sahour & New ‘Stable’ Yatziv Settlement
The AP article on Israel's move to legalize the Yatziv outpost notes that "fittingly, the new settlement’s name means 'stable' in Hebrew." Unfortunately, AP's reporting on the disputed site flounders in factual instability.
CAMERA Statement on Jerusalem Post Platforming B’Tselem Libels
Why did The Jerusalem Post give a platform to B'Tselem, thereby legitimizing an organization whose mission and methods revolve around demonizing Israel in the international realm as opposed to working on the ground to effect positive change in the Jewish state?
