Since October 7, @washingtonpost’s coverage of Israel’s war against Hamas has been marred by its implicit anti-Israel bias as well as its downplaying of the danger posed by Hamas and Hezbollah.
We've put together a thread of some of their worst examples of bias 🧵
@washingtonpost After the IDF entered Al-Shifa hospital, The Post parroted Hamas’ claim that it was a “war crime” and then published an entire article dedicated to undermining Israel’s evidence that Hamas was using the hospital complex for terror purposes.
@washingtonpost Using faulty statistics, The Post sought to tarnish Israel’s war against Hamas by wrongly claiming that its effect on children was unprecedented in 21st century conflicts.
Would a two-state solution necessarily "end the crisis?"
As far back as Yasser Arafat during Oslo, Palestinian leaders have made clear that a Palestinian state wouldn't be the end goal but merely a phase in the destruction of the existing Jewish state.
Why is Israeli occupation "the key issue?" What about Palestinian:
🛑Terrorism
🛑Incitement in media & education
🛑Failure to recognize Israel as a Jewish state
🛑Rejection of every deal they've ever been offered
Why is it only Israel's fault?
Meet Gazan photojournalist Ashraf Amra. He's been working for media including @AP & @Reuters.
Here he is on Oct. 7 enjoying fellow photojournalist Mohammed Fayq Abu Mostafa's footage of an IDF soldier being lynched after they both infiltrated Israel's border. And there's more.🧵
Abu Mostafa, a freelancer who has been working for Reuters, says: “We were there two hours ago, since the beginning” & details what he saw at the border & in Sderot.
He describes the breaking into a room where Israelis were hiding before being taken by Hamas terrorists.
Abu Mostafa then calls on people to cross into Israel's sovereign territory: “An advice, whoever can go – go. It is a one-time event that will not happen again.”
And Amra replies: “Really, it will not repeat itself.”
Why has @GlobalHealthBMJ decided to politicize healthcare with a paper so ridden with errors and bias that it defies belief that it past any editorial or peer review?
"More than 100 years of violence in occupied Palestine."
Is the BMJ implying that Israel has been an 'occupier' from before even 1948?
Denying Israel's right to exist in the opening line is not an auspicious start.
The word Hamas appears not even once in the entire paper (apart from footnotes). So hardly a surprise that while BMJ blames Israeli airstrikes for Palestinian deaths, it cannot even say who murdered an Israeli medical worker shot by Hamas terrorists.
