NPR Conflates March Against Antisemitism With Pro-Palestinian Rally
Bad enough @NPR's headline falsely conflates two very different sets of protesters. But the story doesn't even mention the Paris march against antisemitism.
It's quite clear the London protesters weren't marching against antisemitism. Quite the opposite.https://t.co/sq2gb44Rja pic.twitter.com/V9pEtcXObx

CNN Headline Misleads on Gaza Hospital’s Status
Could @CNN come up with a more misleading & inflammatory headline?
A hospital shutting down due to operational difficulties significantly differs from "collapsing" under bombardment.
The hospital isn't rubble. It's still standing. Correct your headline.https://t.co/AuywdSfGvi pic.twitter.com/6GDLrBLiJu

The New York Times Morally Equates Both Sides in Campus Confrontations
Referring to "huge confrontations between pro-Palestinian & Jewish students" on US campuses implies both sides are equally responsible.
No, @nytimes, it's Jewish students who are under attack. There's no equivalence here. Enough with the victim blaming.https://t.co/cVPhqZ1fZQ pic.twitter.com/OOQp85vdVx

Sky News Spreads Misinformation About Al Ahli Hospital Explosion
No, @SkyNews, as you well know, the Al Ahli Hospital was not "hit by an Israeli missile earlier this month."
The hospital's car park was hit by a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket in October. Last month.
Why are you spreading misinformation?https://t.co/RZpx4JIvGE pic.twitter.com/Pl8nBa60cM

CBS News Platforms Hamas Crisis Actor
"Reeling in stunned disbelief, this man shouts, 'They've bombed the hospital!'" reports the evening @CBSNews.
The stunned disbelief should be over how the international media continue to be fooled into broadcasting infamous Hamas crisis actor Saleh Aljafarawi's videos. pic.twitter.com/rcH9rlc7PH

Sky News Presents False Picture of Casualties in Gaza
How, @Stone_SkyNews, have you reached this false conclusion?
This isn't professional reporting, it's editorializing and clear prejudice. https://t.co/bnTokVGfsM

The Washington Post Misleads on US Support for Israel
According to @washingtonpost, US political support for Israel is "a reflection of the decades-long influence of a powerful lobby."
Why can't the WaPo contemplate that US support for its closest Mideast ally is morally right rather than due to a "lobby?" https://t.co/7RpToYBkih pic.twitter.com/yB1x5JngJ9

Sky News Platforms Mustafa Barghouti’s Lies
.@SkyNews has posted at least 4 clips of Mustafa Barghouti's interview where he accuses Israel of every imaginable crime, including killing 6,000 Gazan children.
Even the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry hasn't announced a figure that high. And Barghouti accuses Israel of lying?! https://t.co/xfaxINm6OR
— HonestReporting (@HonestReporting) November 7, 2023
Mustafa Barghouti has the gall to accuse Israel of trying to cover up the truth in Gaza from the media at the same time as claiming Hamas raping & beheading Israelis on Oct. 7 are lies.
He even claims that a tunnel entrance exposed by Israel next to a hospital is for "hiding… https://t.co/4zTcy7RWO4

NBC News Headline Misleads on Israel Supporter’s Death
Above: @latimes accurately headlines that a Jewish man was "hit in the head," reflecting what police have confirmed is a homicide.
Below: @NBCNews simply says he died "after hitting head." No, NBC, homicide isn't something self-inflicted. Fix your headline. pic.twitter.com/hPuR4FvuY2
