The fact that the Guardian promoted a book premised on conspiratorial tropes about Jerusalem’s putative control of Washington speaks volumes about the outlet’s continuing willingness to trade in antisemitic calumnies normally assigned to the extremist fringes.
On ABC's The View, Charlamagne tha God reverted back to old antisemitic tropes he had espoused before. The audience applauded and the hosts said nothing.
In March, the New York Times asserted that Israel played an outsized role in the White House's decision to go to war with Iran. But in June, the publication claimed that it was mere "perception" that Israel dragged the U.S. to war. What changed? Does The Times know the facts?
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.
Defying the historical record and Reuters' own decades-long coverage, Crispian Balmer claims Netanyahu's "decades-long dream" was to convince the United States to attack Iran. In fact, for decades the Israeli Prime Minister called for a more stringent deal and sanctions, not a U.S. war on Iran.
A "60 Minutes" segment on Gaza platforming disgruntled former State Department officials was packed with strong words standing in for strong arguments. Blaming Arab terrorism targeting Americans on U.S. support for Israel is nothing more than toxic and tired extremist Arab propaganda.
While the Biden Administration's decision to consider settlements illegal under international law in no way restores a decades-long U.S. policy, media reports that it does just that do revive long-standing miscoverage of U.S. policy.
CBS's Deborah Patta falsely reported that Netanyahu "stubbornly refuses to listen" to his American interlocutors. But the Israeli Prime Minister's order to devise an evacuation plan for Rafah's civilians means that he listened very attentively. The U.S. exhorted Israel to prepare a solid plan to protect Rafah's civilians before carrying out a military operation. The Biden administration did not tell Israel not to attack Rafah.
