Write the AFP: Israel is NOT a “Child Killer”

AFP's one-sided story covers a UNICEF report that portrays Israel and its security forces as Palestinian child killers.

Please sign our letter to Emmanuel Hoog, the CEO of Agence France-Presse (AFP)

To Mr Emanuel Hoog, CEO, Agence France-Presse:

We are writing to express our concern about an AFP article covering the release of a UNICEF report accusing Israel of killing Palestinian children. That report was based on completely one-sided information that leaves out important context. Almost all the young Palestinians who were killed were terrorists attempting to murder innocent Israelis. Among the groups that contributed to the report are many with well established histories of bias against Israel. Why did the AFP not include a source critical of the UNICEF report?

We urge you to correct the deficiencies in the article and take steps to ensure AFP reporting on Israel meets the standards of balance in professional journalism.

Sincerely,
