After contact from CAMERA, the Washington Post amended a story which initially claimed that peace negotiations led to Israel's 2005 withdrawal from Gaza. But as CAMERA told Post staff that withdrawal was a unilateral decision.
Ambassador Charles Kushner recently took to the pages of the Wall Street Journal to condemn rising antisemitism in France. In a recently published letter, CAMERA weighs in, offering a historical perspective.
The Guardian and the Independent joined a campaign coordinated by pro-BDS NGO Avaaz and Reporters Without Borders that libels Israel as deliberately killing journalists. Relying on inflated, terror-linked casualty lists and copy-pasted NGO claims, their reporting amounted to churnalism: advocacy dressed up as journalism.
BBC coverage of the IPC Gaza famine report leaned heavily on UN and NGO claims while failing to provide critical context. Five separate reports repeated unverified Hamas figures, ignored Israeli statements, and failed to address issues such as aid theft, black-market profiteering, or UN distribution failures.
Nearly 4,000 calories per person per day entered Gaza between May - August -- almost twice the daily need. Yet ~90% of trucks were looted, Hamas blocks aid, and the UN fails to deliver.
Still, the media blames Israel for "starvation."
The Palestinian movement risks collapsing under the weight of its own history. What comes next could shape the future of the Middle East, and it won't be pretty.
NPR's Aug. 22 "Morning Edition" broadcast, "Famine confirmed in northern Gaza, says U.N.-backed panel," is a confirmed mess of chaotic misreporting about the widely panned IPC documents.

Ignoring thousands of unnamed fighters killed and omitting key context, the paper spun Hamas propaganda as fact.
