As the @IDF conducted a two-day counter-terror operation in Jenin, BBC international editor @BowenBBC flew in to the scene to provide an uninformative report from a local hospital. @IDF @BowenBBC While the BBC told audiences of "stones thrown" and included a political NGO's unverified claim that the IDF fired tear gas at the hospital, at no point in their various reports did BBC reporters display any curiosity about why those noticeably mostly young male "protesters" were… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

🧵@CAMERAArabic's intensive scrutiny of @BBCArabic coverage of Israel & the Middle East and the systematic documentation of its egregious shortcomings in reporting have resulted in significant behind-the-scenes reforms at the Arabic-language news platform.
camera.org/article/press-… According to @JewishChron, which has extensively published CAMERA Arabic’s findings about @BBC's deeply flawed Arabic service, Mohamed Yehia, BBC Arabic’s head of multimedia output, emailed staff reiterating the imperative to adhere to BBC guidelines.

(1/4) @Reuters has completely revamped its article covering the Iran deal following @TamarSternthal's publication which exposed many instances of bias in the piece.

camera.org/article/iran-a… (2/4) The article no longer presents Iranian threats to eliminate Israel as merely a Jewish claim (referring to Israel "saying Tehran advocates its destruction"), the piece now clearly and accurately reports that Iran "has called for the elimination of Israel,"

🧵(1/9)@TamarSternthal: @AFPphoto shared several photos of demonstrations demanding release of Nasser Abu Hamid. @AFP captioned them presenting him as merely a Palestinian imprisoned by Israel while sick w/ cancer. What did AFP fail to mention?👇
camera.org/article/afp-ag… (2/9) On 12 October 2000 he was photographed while taking part in the desecration of the bodies of IDF Corporal Vadim Nurzhitz and Yossi Avrahami during the Ramallah Lynch.

.@Independent's Nadine White argues that Western media's sympathetic coverage of Ukraine's struggle is based on Ukrainians' "whiteness" and "proximity to the west," a dynamic she claims "feeds into white supremacist ideology."

@CAMERAorgUK

camera-uk.org/2022/03/01/ind… @Independent @CAMERAorgUK Referring to Ukrainians making Molotov cocktails to resist the invaders, she asks: "Can you imagine if these were Syrians or Palestinians? They’d quickly be branded as terrorists."

This comparison is shameful.

.@Newsweek vs history on Palestinian statehood

As Ukrainians are fighting to defend their sovereignty, some are hijacking the attention on their struggle to make uninformed comparisons to the Palestinians.

camera.org/article/newswe… @Newsweek Writing in @Newsweek, Scott McDonald ahistorically asserts that "Palestinians had much of their homeland stripped from them following World War II."

Palestinian Arabs never had any sovereignty over any land they now claim until the Oslo Accords in the 1990s.

In report accusing #Israel of war crimes, @hrw repeatedly questioned claims that @IDF was targeting #Hamas tunnels & underground infrastructure, saying HRW could find no evidence of these tunnels

camera.org/article/human-… @hrw @IDF But as @galberger reports, when a UN school in Gaza City that is known to have a Hamas tunnel under it brought in its own experts to check the school's safety, Hamas arrived on the scene, forced the UN experts to leave, and sealed off the site.

Why @NickKristof is still wrong on #Israel and #Hamas

@GileadIni

camera.org/article/why-ni… @NickKristof @GileadIni Purporting to offer arguments for how Israel could deal with Hamas's attacks "more judiciously," @nytimes's @NickKristof ends up offering justification for Hamas's war crimes.

When @Haaretz obliterated the Israeli dead from the @nytimes's toxic libel

@presspectiva

camera.org/article/when-h… @Haaretz @nytimes @presspectiva It's unclear why @nytimes editors took the unprecedented step of publishing a front-page piece featuring the children killed in the recent fighting between #Israel and #Hamas, when to the best of CAMERA's knowledge, never before in any conflict in the world has the paper done so.

The @NewYorker demonstrates the "superior power of incessantly repeated lies" in review of new Edward Said biography

camera.org/article/new-yo… @NewYorker Pankaj Mishra echoes Said's misrepresentations of his own past, writing: "In Jerusalem, Said went to St. George’s, a boys’ school for the region’s ruling castes. In Cairo—where his family moved in 1947, shortly before Jewish militias occupied West Jerusalem..."

The wonders of Khirbet Humsa, the media's "thrice-demolished" village

@TamarSternthal
camera.org/article/the-wo… @TamarSternthal Under headline "In thrice-demolished village, a Mideast battle of wills," @AP reported that after its initial demolition in November, the Jordan Valley Bedouin encampment was demolished again on Feb. 2 and a third time Feb. 4.

CAMERA continues to urge the NY Times to correct two errors about past US policy — including the false assertion that Pompeo's announcement that settlements are not illegal reversed "four decades of American policy." @Rogene @halbfinger @meslackman @Rogene @halbfinger @meslackman Notably, the paper has corrected similar errors twice in the past.

History hasn't changed, and readers today deserve no less than readers in 2013 and 2017.
