Why the Media Never Gets the Middle East Right
Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Charles Krauthammer's spoke at a CAMERA conference in 1993 at Brandeis University. To honor his memory, we are republishing his speech.
In remarks that were uncritically disseminated by several news outlets, former President Obama defended his decision not to veto United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 on the grounds that settlements were rapidly expanding. Yet, the truth is otherwise, as CAMERA noted in The Daily Caller.
While the media fixates on embassy locations, it routinely ignores the long history of Arab rejectionism of a Jewish state in the Jewish people's ancestral homeland, CAMERA notes in The Washington Jewish Week.
The Washington Post repeatedly omits Palestinian rejectionism and fails to report on internal Palestinian affairs. Instead, the paper inordinately focuses on Jewish houses in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria).
