The Associated Press and NPR framing of Israel as an isolated pariah or the Wall Street Journal's framing of the Jewish state as great and powerful reflects the anti-Jewish tropes that have been popularized through the ages.
As the Jewish Chronicle revealed last weekend – based on CAMERA’s research – a BBC Arabic segment about cultural life in Gaza featured two contributors who have expressed antisemitic and pro-violence views on their social media accounts.

It's unacceptable that media reporting on fatalities incurred in Israeli military operations almost never note that the combatant to civilian ratio is 1:1 in Lebanon and 1:2 in the Gaza Strip, CAMERA's Shay Khatiri writes in JNS.

There is a key issue upon which Knell is completely silent; the question as to why such a senior military figure was even present in such a densely populated civilian area in the first place.

Despite extensive citation of the NGO in their coverage of Israel and Gaza, the BBC and New York Times have yet to report on Amnesty International’s findings on Hamas’ extrajudicial killings, CAMERA's Maia Zelkha writes at JNS.
