On November 23, some three hours after news broke concerning a strike in Beirut’s Dahiya suburb targeting Hezbollah’s chief of staff, a report appeared on the BBC News website under the headline "Israel kills top Hezbollah official in first attack on Beirut in months."
One throw-away, baseless comment by an Emirati political science professor was enough for The Times to publish a page-one headline and 3500-plus story absurdly arguing that Israel's determination to preemptively defend itself against Iranian-backed enemies bent on its destruction is imperialistic.
With Israel's deadly strike on Hezbollah chief of staff Haytham Tabtabai, AP finds occasion to again conceal the terror organization's violation of the 2024 ceasefire agreement.
This week: released terrorists rewarded with luxury; Lebanon's failure to disarm Hezbollah risks disaster; a violent antisemite gets prison time; and a throwback to a less-than-prescient speech by former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Hamas in Gaza mirrors Hezbollah in Lebanon, and failed media coverage of the former mirrors failed media coverage of the latter. This flawed media coverage, ignoring Arab violations of the ceasefire and casting Israel as an unprovoked bully, is full of mirrors — none of them clarifying.
Reuters' blatantly false and uncorrected claim that Israel carpet-bombed Beirut's southern suburbs was just one of several recent assaults against the media outlet’s stated commitment to “unbiased and reliable news.”
How does Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta's call for regional war square with his reported concern about war's toll on children and why does AP's Abby Sewell conceal his war-mongering sentiment, CAMERA asks in Israel Hayom.
CAMERA prompts corrections in both English and Hebrew after Haaretz wrongly reported that Israeli defense officials had estimated that 300 were killed in the Israeli airstrike which targeted Hassan Nasrallah. In fact, an early Israeli estimated cited 300 casualties (not fatalities) and Lebanese officials cited six fatalities.
