As calls to "globalize the intifada" incited violence, the New York Times worked to conceal the practical meaning of that word — even after two people were murdered at a Washington, DC Jewish event.
On the 20th anniversary of the wave of the so-called Second Intifada, news outlets failed to inform readers of the horrors of the Palestinian terror campaign.
Anti-Israel activists call for a “globalized intifada.” But what exactly is an intifada?
It’s not complicated. It’s history. Intifadas are terror campaigns targeting civilians, and calls to “globalize the intifada” fuel attacks against Jews around the globe. Journalists have a sacred duty to report on the intifadas’ violent history without whitewashing. Glossing over calls for murder is not journalism.
In her Los Angeles Times column, Anita Chabria used a pseudo-definition of Nazism that erased Jew-hate from its core to argue that the Trump administration is flirting with Nazism while embracing white Christian nationalism. This columnist has had no problem freely highlighting antisemitic dog whistles on the right but has used qualifiers when discussing antisemitism in pro-Palestinian spaces.
The Bondi Beach Chanukah Massacre, the deadliest massacre of Jews since Oct. 7, shows that tolerating antizionism and murderous Jew-hatred has consequences. This is what calls to “globalize the intifada” look like in action.
NPR has taken multiple opportunities in the span of just a few weeks to fawn over a terrorist and child killer, released in the October 2025 Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, simply because he's a novelist.
The Washington Post recently embedded with a U.S.-designated terrorist group, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. The Post's report raises various questions about ethics and access.
As CAMERA tells the Washington Free Beacon, the 1936 Arab Revolt was, in fact, the first Palestinian intifada, and it made a tragic template for what was to come. Boycotts, rejecting peace and statehood, seeking arms from anti-Western autocrats, Palestinian leaders have been doing all of these things for nearly a century.
“Those who don’t learn history,” the philosopher George Santayana famously warned, “are doomed to repeat it.” But as CAMERA tells the Algemeiner, those who don't learn history are also inclined to become reporters at the Washington Post.
By rewriting history and erasing inconvenient events, NPR tells a tall tale of Palestinian leaders behaving responsibly after September 11, and of Israel being responsible for Palestinian suicide bombing attacks on Israeli civilians
