Even while covering a Palestinian rocket attack on an Israeli community, Agence France Presse demonstrates a steadfast propensity for whitewashing Palestinian violence against Israeli civilians.
Leila Molana-Allen's twin broadcasts obscure the driving forces behind Palestinian terrorism and provide faux balance encapsulated by what she misleadingly calls a "cycle of violence."
In much of the reporting about Israel and the Middle East, terrorist organizations are entirely absent. In a recent article in the Economist, however, terror groups are the focus – but the effects of terrorism are glossed over, and the members are glamorized as if they were social media influencers.
CNN has a shaky relationship with polling data. Previously, Christiane Amanpour appears to have fabricated polling results. On July 14, however, CNN’s Abeer Salman took a slightly different track by using existing polling data, but only some of it.
According to many recent flawed news accounts, the “flare-up” in violence began only with the introduction of a new Israeli government and has been driven by extremist Israelis. The data, however, disagrees. Not only did the “flare-up” begin long before the current government took power in November 2022, but it has been overwhelmingly driven by Palestinian attacks.
At the beginning of July, Israeli Defense Forces launched a major counterterrorist operation in Jenin. Many mainstream news outlets failed to provide essential context about the raid. As CAMERA tells the Washington Examiner, the Palestinian Authority's support for terrorism, both implicit and otherwise, have given the leading state sponsor of terror, Iran, an opening to attack Israel.
Far from informing readers, a recent Washington Post backgrounder on Palestinian Islamic Jihad echoed the terrorist group's propaganda. Indeed, the Post's attempt to provide essential background was riddled with errors of both omission and co-mission.
The Washington Post is running a veritable “Committee to Investigate Israel.” Despite being cash-strapped and resource starved, the newspaper has launched multiple costly “investigations” into IDF counter terror raids in Judea and Samaria. And all omit crucial facts while relying on distorted statistics.
