A Mar. 15 MS NOW segment drew a false equivalence between school shootings and Israeli military operations in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, ignoring the difference between Israeli soldiers operating in complex urban warfare environments and school shooters that purposefully target children.
Ali Velshi’s absurd falsehood that “all of the violence in the West Bank has been settler violence on Palestinians” isn’t just untrue. It’s wildly offensive. It erases the victims of Palestinian terrorism and whitewashes the reality of Israelis who have to live with it on a daily basis.
NPR's typical whitewash of terrorism plunged to new lows as it engaged in terror apologia. In its sympathy piece on a homicidal Jew-hater who perpetrated a terror attack on an American synagogue and the Lebanese town from which he originally hailed, NPR crossed new lines.
The Iranian regime is using schools and other civilian areas for military purposes just like its proxy Hamas. A new Shi'ite terror group popped up seemingly overnight after claiming responsibility for three anti-Jewish attacks in Europe. The record-breaking sale of Israeli cybersecurity company "Wiz" to Google required outside-the-box financial planning by Israel.
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.
Rachel Maddow argues the war with Iran is the result of Gulf state bribery, not Tehran’s behavior. However, her conspiracy collapses when confronted with decades of Iranian attacks, proxy warfare, and nuclear escalation.
Ali Velshi's sweeping claims on MS NOW about West Bank violence and the Oslo Accords erased Palestinian terrorism and the Palestinian Authority's complicity to advance a one-sided narrative, desecrating murdered Israelis and invalidating the experiences of millions.
The similarities between entries in the style guide used by the Hamas-supporting and terrorist-employing Qatari government-funded media outlet (which has been banned by several Arab countries) and those appearing in the BBC style guides certainly raise questions regarding the standards to which Britain’s national broadcaster apparently aspires.
A lawyer for Hamas has been indicted for money laundering to the terror organization. Palestinian Islamic Jihad confirmed the IDF's June 2024 allegation that a Doctors Without Borders employee was one of their own. The Israeli Air Force issues guidance to some of its soldiers about food deliveries.
Over the course of a single week, PBS NewsHour pushed one-sided narratives of Israeli policy, erased American victims of Oct. 7, and offered soft, unchallenged interviews to a repressive Iranian regime. This reporting raises questions over whether it is attempting to inform its viewers or persuade them.
