Washington Post Publishes CAMERA Response to Cohen Column July 24, 2006 A few days after Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen wrote on July 18 that Israel is a "mistake" because "the idea of creating a nation of European Jews in an area of Arab Muslims (and some Christians) has produced a century of warfare and terrorism," the newspaper published CAMERA's response.
Philadelphia Inquirer Discovers Hate Education - by Israelis July 22, 2006 On July 22, the Philadelphia Inquirer published an unsigned editorial that, with unabashed moral equivalency, obscures the differences between Israel and its neighbors in terms of hate education, and erases the asymmetry between Israel and Hezbollah.
"Israel Lobby" Authors Find Friendly NPR Forum July 21, 2006 Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer, authors of "The Israel Lobby and American Foreign Policy," the academic study widely faulted for shoddy scholarship and bias in its charge that supporters of Israel undermine American interests, repeated their false allegations on National Public Radio.
Noam Chomsky's Support for Hezbollah July 20, 2006 On May 8, 2006, MIT Professor Noam Chomsky began an eight-day visit to Lebanon, receiving a hero's wecome. He met with Hezbollah leaders, embraced them and repeated their rhetoric, publicly rejecting their disarming (contrary to UNSC Resolution 1559). Now that the terrorist group has launched a war, he mildly rebukes them as "irresponsible" but continues to wish them well.
BBC Does Not Give "Full and Fair Account" of Middle East Conflict July 17, 2006 An independent panel commissioned by BBC's Board of Governors stated that the BBC does not consistently give a full and fair account of the Israeli-Arab conflict. Nowhere is this more evident than in the network's reporting on the latest crisis in Israel, Lebanon and Gaza.
UPDATED: AP Timeline Obscures Arab Attacks July 17, 2006 As Israel began responding to Hezbollahs cross-border assault, the Associated Press was rewriting the history of conflict between Lebanon and Israelwith a skewed timeline entitled "A look at key events in Lebanon-Israel conflict." Update: A piece dispatched by AP less than a week later does a better job.
New York Times Tilts Toward Palestinians July 12, 2006 The New York Times seems to be slipping back into a pattern of coverage skewed toward Palestinian perspectives in its headlines, human interest stories and characterizations of terrorist actions and counter-actions.
Washington Post Publishes Hamas Propaganda Again July 12, 2006 On July 11, the Washington Post editorial editor treated its readers to an opinion column, "Aggression Under False Pretenses," by Hamas leader and Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh. Readers would not know Hamas is a terrorist organization responsible for the murders of hundreds of Israelis and others, or that Haniyeh a leader or even a member of a terrorist entity.
The IHT Corrects Error on Palestinian Casualties July 12, 2006 The International Herald Tribune wrongly blamed an unexploded Israeli shell for the death of two Palestinians in Khan Yunis last month.
CAMERA Prompts Correction at the Guardian July 10, 2006 CAMERA staff elicited a correction from the Guardian on an opinion piece by Patrick Seale, who erroneously claimed that Qassam rockets launched from Gaza had not caused any fatalities.
Ha'aretz Again Fails to Correct Error July 5, 2006 Haaretz has in the past revealed its complete disregard for journalistic norms by describing its "quasi-policy" of ignoring complaints about factual errors in news stories. And now, once again, a significant factual error has gone uncorrected in the pages of the newspaper.
June 29, 2006 The BBC is not only overtly partisan in its Web site article choices, it misleads readers with a false, propagandistic version of the situation. A recent article entitled "Palestinians back prisoner release call" fails to inform readers that the protagonist interviewed was himself imprisoned for attempting to kidnap an Israeli soldier and that his wife had been imprisoned for planning a suicide bombing.
Update on Media Coverage of Prisoners' Document June 29, 2006 Even while Hamas officials unequivocally stress the signing of prisoners' document does not mean the group accepts Israel's legitimacy, some news organizations continue to wrongly claim that by signing the document, Hamas leaders "effectively endorse a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." Other news organizations, however, have significantly improved their reporting on the document.
New York Times Apologetics for Terror June 26, 2006 CAMERA has repeatedly faulted the New York Times for whitewashing and excusing Palestinian terrorism and repeating terrorists claims at face value. Faced with a newly published volume ("Politics, Charity, and Terrorism in the Service of Jihad," by Matthew Levitt, Yale University Press, 2006) that exposes the Hamas organizations single-minded goal of jihad against Israel, the Times review of the book once more rationalizes the terrorist nature of the organization.
June 26, 2006 Faced with criticism of his coverage of the recent Gaza beach explosion which killed seven members of a Palestinian family, France 2 Jerusalem correspondent Charles Enderlin, is once more retreating behind a shield of lies. According to Metulla News Agency, Enderlin distorted facts to discredit an investigation that indicated the journalist had misrepresented the entire incident.
License to Err on SF Chronicle Opinion Pages June 26, 2006 The San Francisco Chronicle claims to "strive for accuracy" and promises to "quickly correct errors or misleading statements." Yet its opinion pages serve as a haven for patently inaccurate anti-Israel allegations, and no corrections appear to be forthcoming.
June 25, 2006 Much of the media are misreporting the substance of the referendum proposed by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and the so-called Prisoners Document presented in the referendum. Reports claiming the document is a peace plan or that it accepts a two-state solution recognizing Israel are selling an idea of Hamas moderation that has little, if any, basis. While such overenthusiastic extrapolation might be acceptable in an opinion or analysis piece, news stories should stick to reporting the facts.
CAMERA Letter Published in Washington Post June 24, 2006 After publishing an error-filled column by Robert Novak, the Washington Post ran the following CAMERA letter addressing the column's flaws.
Israel Should Not Be Presumed Guilty of Gaza Beach Deaths June 12, 2006 Much has been reported about an explosion on a Gaza beach on June 9, 2006 which killed 7 people, including 3 children. There has been a video shown repeatedly of a young girl wailing with grief there, coming upon the dead body of her father, and photographs from this video displayed in newspapers.
Mike Wallaces Middle East Problem May 25, 2006 As Mike Wallace nears retirement, virtually all the retrospectives so far on his 43-year career at CBS News recall his reputation for tough interviews and the ability to get the story. The reputation may be deserved, in general, but at least one subject has tripped up the 60 Minutes veteran continually over the years -- Israel.
More Terror Bias at NPR May 23, 2006 A new analysis by CAMERA shows National Public Radio reporters and commentators continue to employ a double standard when reporting on terrorists and terror attacks in Israel versus terror attacks perpetrated elsewhere. When a bombing occurs that targets civilians in London, Istanbul, Sinai or Madrid, the perpetrators are routinely described as terrorists by NPR. However, the same is not true when an attack occurs in Israel and the perpetrators are Palestinians.
NPR Coddles Hamas May 19, 2006 A segment airing on May 9^th about US policy towards Hamas typifies the one-sided NPR focus on critics of Israel. Interviewer Mike Shuster and his guests sanitize the Hamas-dominated Pales...
