11/27 Update: Prompted by CAMERA's critique, PolitiFact and Poynter reviewed, archived and replaced a story that had misled readers on several counts and suggested there was no merit to the charge that Hamas decapitated Israeli babies.
A recent Washington Post report calls terrorism merely “armed resistance,” echoing language used by Hamas and its apologists. Further, the Post inaccurately claims that Palestinian terrorism didn't exist until Israel was recreated in 1948, a lie that shows how ill-informed and malicious the newspaper is.
A recent Washington Post report on efforts to boycott American companies for their ostensible support of Israel is so replete with falsehoods, misleading omissions, and terrorist propaganda that discerning readers would be better off if it were a blank page.
In response to communication from CAMERA, UPI and McClatchy commendably remove an erroneous reference to hostages held in captivity in the Gaza Strip as "prisoners." The hostages have not committed crimes, are not being held lawfully, and are not awaiting trial.
The Washington Post continues to uncritically regurgitate claims from Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist group. This has led to numerous embarrassing moments. Recently, the newspaper chose to delete an entire story that was entirely based on Hamas sources
Hamas is using hospitals for cover. And the media is covering for Hamas. Worse still, as CAMERA tells the Washington Times, a contributor for the Washington Post even cheered on the October 7th massacre.
Where there are anti-Jewish atrocities, there are deniers. And on Oct 7, there were atrocities. Countless acts of murder and mutilation — and brutal acts of sexual violence by the Palestinian attackers. Cue the deniers and their manipulations.
A recent decision by the US to abstain on a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire is a break with tradition. As CAMERA tells the Washington Times: there was a ceasefire, and Hamas broke it.
Militarily, Israel's war against Hamas and other Gaza-based proxies is going well. Indeed, the IDF has made remarkable gains. But diplomatically and politically, the post-war phase will present Israel with numerous challenges, as CAMERA tells the Washington Examiner.
The only source for the allegations of sexual violence by Israeli forces that several United Nations "experts" were willing to point to was a public report by an organization called Women's Centre for Legal Aid and Counseling (WCLAC). Given that this is all the public has to go on to scrutinize the allegations, it is worth examining WCLAC’s report.
