From the Committee to Protect Journalists to the news outlets sympathetically covering them (with senior journalists on their board), Hamas terrorists have been misrepresented as journalists.
The BBC chose not to tell its audiences about the CPJ review into the deaths of journalists in Gaza. Why is an institution committed to impartiality obscuring the truth?
The BBC fails to do basic fact checking on fresh claims of targeting journalists in Gaza, a failure which illustrates a much deeper and more insidious problem than simply erosion of journalistic standards.
May 20, Palestinian Islamic Jihad published another list of dead commanders, including Ibrahim Jamal Ibrahim al-Sheikh Ali. BBC still lists him as a slain journalist.
BBC promotes the politically motivated, false narrative that Israel "targets journalists" by concealing the relevant context such as military roles, terrorist affiliations, family terror links or location.
In an interview with a Hezbollah leader, a group that is recognized as a terrorist organization by the United States, PBS posed open-ended questions and engaged in polite, civil discourse. This contrasted sharply with a PBS interview of Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon, which was marked with hostility and accusations masked as questions.
Omitting critical information about the deadly incident in which Amal Khalil, who worked for the Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Akhbar, was killed, BBC advances the false narrative that Israel targets journalists.
The BBC continues to ignore the abuse of journalism by terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah, not least by failing to adequately report on the collaboration between such organizations and media outlets such as Al Jazeera.
Sara Qudah, from the Committee to Protect Journalists, appeared on PBS to discuss the killing of journalist Ali Hassan Shaib by the IDF. Qudah claimed Israel had a practice of targeting journalists, and PBS' Nick Shifrin did nothing to challenge her, despite recent admissions by Palestinian Islamic Jihad that some "journalists" killed in Gaza were actually its operatives.
