HonestReporting crunches the numbers to compare the Israel-related media cultures in Britain and the United States.
Professor Steven Salaita had a job offer rescinded because of anti-Semitic tweets he posted about the 2014 Gaza war – now he is to be keynote speaker at a conference on freedom of speech and academic boycotts of Israel. The Irish Times report omits key context and seems to adopt Salaita’s warped narrative of Israel, portraying him as a victim.
Newsweek misleads, manipulates, and twists reality to falsely claim that Christianity in Israel is under threat.
As Myanmar’s military comes in for international criticism, The Independent singles out Israeli arms exports to the country based on an agenda-driven source.
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres did not call on Israel to open the Rafah crossing into the Gaza Strip, which is administered solely by Egypt. HR gets the correction.
A documentary defames Jews and Israel supporters around the world with horrific claims and outright lies. The effect? To make volunteers who help the IDF look like some of the worst international war criminals imaginable.
David Rothkopf’s critique of Benjamin Netanyahu in the Washington Post claims that Israel ‘suppresses its majority population.” How could this be if the majority of Israelis are Jewish and living in a democracy?
An inflammatory International Business Times headline falsely states that Israeli Jews are fighting for Isis, even though most of those Israelis were Arabs and converts to Islam.
The Government Press Office held a hearing for Al Jazeera’s Israeli-Arab reporter Elias Karram. The
Writing in the LA Times, Human Rights Watch employee Abier Almasri describes life in Gaza without electricity yet places responsibility on Israel as the “occupying power.”
Ilan Pappe is no “historian.” So why did the Christian Science Monitor call him one, and give him an unchallenged megaphone to malign Israel in an interview about his book, “The Biggest Prison on Earth,” (referring, of course, to Israel)?
Australia’s ABC Radio edits a transcript of an introduction to an interview on Gaza’s electricity crisis, deliberately removing a statement that Israel had cut the electricity at the request of the Palestinian Authority.
An “exclusive” non-story in The Independent about an Israeli teenage girl jailed for refusing IDF military service is rehashed in the Daily Telegraph minus the nuances in the original.
Intentional car ramming is terrorism all over the world except one place. Guess where?
HonestReporting prompts the International Business Times to make two corrections following a faulty photo caption and a reversed timeline of events that falsely made Israel the instigator of violence.
“Palestine” is the fastest growing tourism destination of 2017 so far. So why did the Telegraph’s use a photo of the Temple Mount to illustrate this? HonestReporting gets the correction.
Julie Hazan, HonestReporting’s US Director and Shahar Azani, Executive Director StandWithUs in New York, interview American
The metal detectors are just another excuse for Palestinians to delegitimize Israel and incite terrorism and religious war against the Jews. Israel, on the other hand, is not looking to change the status quo at the Temple Mount, because Israel isn’t looking for war – only for security. That is why Israeli compromises won’t help – and that’s what the media have been ignoring all along.
