Former Department of Homeland Security official Fayrouz Saad spoke with NPR about her family's connection to Bint Jbeil, Lebanon, following the destruction of her family's "ancestral home" there. Referring to the village as quaint, Saad omitted any reference to PLO control at the time her parents left Lebanon or to Hezbollah presence there in the last several decades.
The New York Times published an article about a controversial opera that claims to tell the story of a terror attack in which Leon Klinghoffer -- a 69-year-old disabled American Jew was murdered in cold blood. But instead of focusing on Klinghoffer, the Times turned the opera itself into the victim.
Rather than exploring the root causes of this epidemic of hate against British Jews, presenters Laura Kuenssberg and Paddy O’Connell leaned into an unacceptable trope we have called out here before, namely, that some Jews might be responsible for harm committed against them.
Though the headline of a Francesca Albanese profile published at British Vogue, “Francesca Albanese Wants The World To Wake Up”, is a reference to her new book’s 'insight' into injustices against Palestinians, her long record of hateful rhetoric suggests what she wants “the world to wake up” to is the threat posed by Jews.
NBC relied on commentary from Israel-hating "experts" and ignored Hezbollah's perfidious tactics to produce manipulative reporting that import to Lebanon the "Israel is targeting health care workers" libel from Israel's two-year war against Hamas in Gaza.
The Guardian just published a glowing feature on Omer Bartov and his new book accusing Israel of genocide. Bartov wasn't even challenged when he told the outlet that the "charge of antisemitism has grown hollow" due to its “weaponization” as “a tool to shut people up.”
Anti-Israel U.S. Senate hopeful Graham Platner covered up his Nazi tattoo. When NBC profiled Platner's position on the current military conflict in Iran, it covered up Platner's other views of actors in the region. Readers were given no information with regard to Platner's anti-Israel vitriol, appreciation for Hamas' terror tactics, or fondness for antisemitic, Israel-obsessed influencers.
The BBC has chosen to promote claims made by the lawyer who last December described it as “pro-genocide and pro-apartheid.” The fact that Yolande Knell did not confirm the allegations – and failed to provide audiences with the full range of information concerning the convicted terrorist who made them – apparently does not worry the corporation that claims to provide “news you can trust.”
NPR’s multiple reports on the attempted terror attack against a Michigan synagogue ignored any voices from the Temple Israel community, though as CAMERA swiftly documented, within two days of the attack, the network was on the ground in the attacker's Lebanese hometown to report on the "grief and fear" there. After hearing from listeners, including many CAMERA readers, NPR's public editor admitted the extraordinary lapse. Will NPR take the lesson to heart?
