HonestReporting Calls on Christiane Amanpour to Apologize for Describing the Murder of the Dee Family as a ‘Shootout’
According to @CNN's Christiane Amanpour, three members of the Dee family "were killed in a shootout."
A shootout is two sides firing at each other.

It's been five days since we called on @amanpour to apologize for saying the Dee family were "killed in a shootout."
Neither she nor @CNN has responded.
Now, Rabbi Leo Dee has joined the demand: it's time for Christiane Amanpour to apologize immediately. https://t.co/8a6z5IRJ4p pic.twitter.com/HzpH4VNFVE

HonestReporting Sets the Record Straight on Operation Arrow and Shield
Seriously, @CNN?
🔴This didn't begin on Tuesday with Israeli strikes.
🔴Islamic Jihad wasn't targeted for allegedly "planning attacks"; the terror org had fired 104 rockets at Israeli civilians in the previous week.
🔴Stop making Israel the aggressor & terrorists into victims. https://t.co/XnZkbuZL7Y pic.twitter.com/3gWZK5c9pl— HonestReporting (@HonestReporting) May 15, 2023

HonestReporting Calls Out Jeremy Corbyn for His Selective View of History
Interesting how you’re vocal on Palestinians as a result of a war they started, but silent on the Jews expelled from the Arab world at the same time.
It surely couldn’t have anything to do with your long-proven track record of antisemitism.

HonestReporting Corrects The New York Times on the History of the Name ‘Palestine’
Note to @nytimes: Palestine, or officially “Provincia Syria Palaestina,” was a name invented by the Romans in 135 CE as a replacement for “Judea” — many years after Jesus lived.
Jesus was a Jew, not a Palestinian. Please correct the error. https://t.co/rFITCAfBVi pic.twitter.com/B71Y46Nvxs

The New York Times Attempts to Whitewash Palestinian Islamic Jihad
No, @nytimes. #IslamicJihad isn't simply an "armed group" founded to "fight Israeli occupation."
It's the most radical Palestinian terror org, whose ideological motivation is the complete destruction of Israel through holy war.@RajaAbdulrahim, stop whitewashing Islamic Jihad. https://t.co/7CjygEyqRa pic.twitter.com/yhCnsMcS6S

#Antisemitism in its purest form.
.@rogerwaters dresses up as an SS officer and uses his Berlin concert to compare Shireen Abu Akleh's death to Anne Frank's.
To co-opt the #Holocaust, especially in Germany of all places, to score political points against Israel is disgusting… pic.twitter.com/qCamk0jREX

The Truth About the Red Wolf Surveillance Technology
This "racist technology" significantly reduces average wait times for #Palestinians at a checkpoint to 5 mins.
This standard practice at international borders and checkpoints is unrelated to race.

HonestReporting Calls Out Vox for Legitimizing Anti-Israel Protests at Synagogues
"If a group protests Israeli policies in front of a synagogue, is that considered antisemitic?"

HonestReporting Calls Out Ken Roth for His Encouragement of Palestinian Terrorism and Extremism
A two-state solution is always possible so long as Palestinians choose peace.
Instead, people like @KenRoth advocate for an end to a Jewish state.
Israel has made efforts for two states, while Roth and his former org @hrw have encouraged Palestinian extremism by whitewashing… pic.twitter.com/RK5urqk6XE
