THREAD: @NPR is now echoing one of the most dangerous lies circulating post–Oct 7...
That Israel is "committing genocide".
1/ This week, @NPR’s Morning Edition featured Omer Bartov, an Israeli-born professor who claims the IDF isn’t targeting Hamas, but carrying out genocide against Palestinians.
Who is Bartov? Well, he's far from being a neutral scholar...
@NPR 2/ Bartov is an anti-Israel activist who has called Israel a nation “injected with poison,” accused it of “Jewish supremacism,” & blamed Hamas’ Oct 7 massacre on Israeli policy. His “evidence” of genocide? That Israel conducted operations in Rafah despite civilians being there.
@NPR 3/ But Israel warned civilians in Rafah to evacuate, issued maps, sent texts, dropped flyers, even set up field hospitals.
That’s not how genocidal regimes behave.
@NPR 4/ Bartov also ignores that...
📍Hamas is a terrorist group, NOT an ethnic or religious one
📍Genocide = intent to destroy a people, not terror infrastructure
📍Israel’s stated goal? To end Hamas after it butchered 1,200+ Israelis & vowed to repeat it “again + again”
@NPR 5/ Even @NPR’s host hesitated. Asked why Bartov dismisses IDF claims Hamas hides in civilian areas.
His answer? “Well… they are also going after Hamas… but mostly they’re destroying Gaza.”
Weak...
@NPR 6/ This is narrative laundering.
A fringe, inflammatory claim gains traction by being repeated on mainstream platforms like @NPR and @NYT not because it’s true, but because it fits the script.
@NPR @NYT 7/ Broadcasting this under the guise of it being expertise from an “Israeli-born Holocaust scholar” is not journalism.
It’s propaganda.
And it gives cover to those who want 🇮🇱Israel erased, not merely.
@NPR @NYT 8/ NPR has a choice: report facts or push fiction.
This week, they chose the latter.
@NPR @NYT Read the full analysis from CAMERA's Ricki Hollander ⤵️
Neither was 🇮🇱 Israel’s intelligence victory against the 🇮🇷 Islamic Republic.
So how did it happen?
1/ In June 2025, Israel carried out the most extensive and successful decapitation strike in modern history, eliminating Iran’s top military and nuclear leadership in a single operation.
2/ Iran’s commanders were reportedly drawn into a single location and killed via precision strike.
Simultaneously, nuclear scientists and senior officials were targeted at their residences and known hideouts, indicating long-term surveillance and deep penetration.
THREAD: Surprised by the @nytimes' latest episode of dishonesty?
You simply haven't been following @CAMERAorg for long enough...
1/ Last week @nytimes ran with photos of one disabled child, photographed repeatedly, with the purpose of implying an Israeli policy of forced starvation in Gaza when no such policy ever existed.
@nytimes 2/ They IGNORED that this boy had cerebral palsy, hypoxemia, and was born with a serous genetic disorder.
Not for the first time…
@BBC
@CNN
@NYTimes
@NBCNews
@WSJ
@SkyNews
@TheTimes
@DailyMail
@ABCNews
ALL jumped to demonize Israel, while ignoring the full facts...
1/ On July 21 the @washingtonpost reported that Hamas was broke.
It couldn’t pay fighters or “death benefits” and was facing its worst crisis in 40 years.
A ceasefire was on the table.
@washingtonpost 2/ Gazan sources admitted Hamas was:
— Profiting off stolen aid
— Extorting merchants
— Threatening to kill aid workers
— Demanding the shutdown of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation which blocked its racket.
— Profiting off stolen aid
— Extorting merchants
— Threatening to kill aid workers
— Demanding the shutdown of the U.S. & Israeli-ran Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which blocked its racket.
🧵THREAD: @nytimes downplayed the brutal assault of a Druze civilian in Syria.
Then, as Druze communities came under attack by tribal and regime forces, they framed their victims as the aggressors...
1/ Since Assad's fall last yr Syria’s govt has been led by Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, also known by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Julani. He is an ex-rebel commander and leader of HTS (Hay’at Tahrir al‑Sham), a Syrian Islamist militant group initially affiliated with al-Qaeda.
2/ Across five recent articles,@NYtimes downplayed atrocities by forces linked to his govt and distorted the origins of the violence.
