A CAMERA Arabic exposé reveals long records of vile antisemitism on the social media accounts of France24 Arabic journalists Joelle Maroun, Dina Abi-Saab, and Laila Odeh.
A recent Washington Post op-ed by the newspaper's former executive editor called to discard objectivity. But as CAMERA tells the Algemeiner, the Post's reporting on Israel has long been free from impartiality. And recent dispatches on terrorist attacks offer more proof.
"Her partisanship eschews objectivity and ethical news reporting, as she ceaselessly adopts the most extreme positions and smears Israel as a pariah state requiring elimination," CAMERA warned Reuters before Henriette Chacar started writing for the news agency. Her paean to a terrorist is the inevitable outcome of Reuters' failure to rein her in.
A recent Gallup Poll showed that Americans have increasingly little faith in the media. The Washington Post, which just announced a new standards desk, might be working to restore trust. But as CAMERA tells the Algemeiner, when it comes to coverage of Israel, the Post has its work cut out.
Israeli Arab terrorists Karim and Maher Younis were convicted of the 1980 kidnapping and murder of Israeli soldier Avraham Bromberg. It's amazing how many facts about this case were misreported. With Arabic and English corrections at Reuters, AFP, France 24 and more, only The Jerusalem Post remains impervious to requests to set the record straight.
While coming from different starting points, two journalistic misdeeds— drawing a false moral equivalency and applying a double standard — end up with the same reprehensible result: minimizing and obscuring Palestinian terrorism. Coverage of the deadly Palestinian terror attack outside a Jerusalem synagogue versus a fatal Israeli arrest raid in Jenin provide a case in point.
The Washington Post's Jerusalem bureau has embraced editorializing. A recent Post report reads more like a partisan press release than an actual news report.
“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.
Iran, CAMERA tells the Washington Times, uses Africa to finance and plot terrorist activities against the United States and its allies, including Israel. Yet, the Islamic Republic's influence in Africa often goes overlooked.
