A "News Hour" segment on damage to the rich cultural history of the Gaza Strip during two years of war covers up Hamas' presence at landmark sites, falsely reports the destruction of an intact church, and completely erases the territory's Jewish history, leaving behind a journalistic wasteland in its wake.
The Bondi Beach Chanukah Massacre, the deadliest massacre of Jews since Oct. 7, shows that tolerating antizionism and murderous Jew-hatred has consequences. This is what calls to “globalize the intifada” look like in action.
By leaving out the coordination between Iran and Venezuela the BBC turns a story about two deeply connected allies engaged in long-standing cooperation against US interests into a story about random American aggression, and it turns Iran and Hezbollah from internationally connected, savvy geopolitical actors with sophisticated financial networks into isolated and purely reactive characters in a Western-centric world.
Shortly after Oct. 7, 2023, Sky News effectively made the decision to frame the war not as an unprovoked antisemitic massacre by a proscribed terrorist group, but primarily on the suffering of Palestinian civilians as the result of the IDF’s putatively “disproportionate” military response to the attacks.
The BBC's Jeremy Bowen promoted the decidedly not “in-depth” (but definitely predictable) narrative that it is Israel that is “the problem” in the Golan Heights border area.
The BBC failed in its duty to provide fair and neutral coverage of the atrocities in Bondi and subtly reinforced an unfair and dangerous trope of collective responsibility.
Alex Rossi’s inability to distinguish between the leadership of an antisemitic death cult and their Jewish victims shows clearly that he is the last person at Sky who should be reporting on anti-Jewish terror in Australia, or anywhere else in the world.
Unlike other Spanish media outlets which responsibly updated headlines as information emerged on the Bondi terror attack, influential radio broadcaster Cadena SER maintained an ambiguous headline citing "a shooting during a Jewish celebration," and failing to make clear that terrorists targeted the Chanukah event.
Hamas used NBC News in its propaganda campaign. While his co-terrorists were hoarding baby formula, a Hamas physician-operative used the media to tell the world Gaza's babies had nothing to eat.
