CAMERA

Press freedom is essential, but without accountability, it falls short. In Part 1 of CAMERA's 3-part series on Media Bias, U.S. Media Research Manager @dmlitman explores how flawed coverage of Israel impacts real-world policy and public perception. How media fails Israelis & Palestinians, and how to fix it: joinscholarscircle.org/event… #MediaBias #Journalism #Israel #CAMERA

Gaza’s own Health Ministry data continues to undercut the narratives major outlets keep amplifying. Aizenberg flags the new 2025 mortality report showing non-violent deaths (including malnutrition) near pre-war levels (i.e., no excess starvation deaths to speak of). This is the same ministry whose figures the AP has now had to correct twice in two months after claiming women and children make up “most” of the dead. CAMERA caught both errors; the ministry’s own numbers put the share at roughly half, not most. When the source’s data doesn’t match the preferred story, it gets ignored or misstated until someone forces a correction. camera.org/article/for-secon…

In an October 5 guest essay, @nytimes claimed that Israel had expelled approximately 750,000 Palestinians during the 1948 War of Independence. But that framing leaves out a crucial historical distinction: becoming a refugee is not the same as being expelled. Historians have documented multiple causes of the Palestinian exodus, including direct expulsions in some cases, flight from fighting and fear, and the collapse of local communities during the war. Historian Benny Morris, among others, has documented that many Palestinians fled without being directly ordered or forced out by Israeli forces. Israel subsequently refused to allow the refugees to return; a separate, significant part of the historical record. The figure of approximately 750,000 Palestinian refugees is widely cited. The claim that every one of them was expelled is not an accurate description of the historical evidence. We contacted The New York Times to request a correction. The newspaper did not respond. camera.org/article/incorrect…

It's bad enough when a guest comes on and spouts misinformation about Israel, but it's worse when a host conjures stats out of thin air to make Israel look bad. Yet that's exactly what NPR's Leila Fadel did in her talk with Biden adviser Jon Finer 👇👇👇 camera.org/article/on-npr-ma…

We applaud Chairman Tim Walberg and the rest of the House Committee on Education & Workforce for ensuring that antisemitism and hate has no place in the classrooms. Using some of CAMERA's research, they helped rein in runaway antisemitism in the School District of Philadelphia, and have even compelled termination proceedings for Ismael Jimenez; the man responsible for trying to indoctrinate students through his social Studies curriculum. @RedWhiteBlueJew with the details.

What happens when a religious symbol is automatically treated as a political statement? From a casual joke at the campus gym to hiding a Magen David before asking a simple question, CAMERA Fellow Adam Dorio opens up about the subtle ways antisemitism and anti-Israel rhetoric overlap on college campuses today. cameraoncampus.org/blog/when…

When the BBC reported on the horrific deaths of the Bibas family, they softened "murdered" to "died," claiming they couldn't say "killed" without independent forensic verification. Yet when reporting on Gazans, the same outlet freely uses "killed" based solely on unverified family accounts and Hamas-run health ministry data. Why is the BBC's evidentiary bar so high for Israeli victims, but nonexistent for others? Is it a collapse of basic editorial standards, or a blatant double standard?

The Guardian wants you to believe that Palestine has become a major electoral issue in Britain. But who is driving that shift, and what is being left out of the conversation? In its interview with incoming Palestine Solidarity Campaign director Aimee Shalan, the Guardian repeated sweeping claims about Palestine’s political influence while giving readers remarkably little scrutiny of the movement’s links to antisemitism and extremist rhetoric. Yet the @guardian presented Palestine as a growing electoral cause without adequately examining the wider context, or the cost to British Jews facing rising antisemitism. @jessisajew has the details:

On the three-year anniversary of the Hamas Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel, Reuters reported that the Lebanese Hezbollah terrorist organization received some $200 million from Iran to “help Lebanese displaced by this year’s war with Israel.” According to the story, Hezbollah received the funds despite a massive U.S.-led financial pressure campaign against Iran and its proxies throughout the Middle East, which include Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis in Yemen, and Shia Iraqi militias. Intermediaries that transferred the funds charged a 20 percent fee. Read more on this story and others you might have missed at CAMERA's weekly news roundup: camera.org/article/the-news-…

"Three years after thousands of Palestinian anti-Zionists committed mass murder and sexual atrocities in Israel on Oct. 7, the world has seemingly sided with the perpetrators. College campuses around the world are full of activists who demand compliance from their peers and refuse to question their own beliefs. It’s commonly asserted that social media is largely to blame for this shift, but it’s still arguably traditional journalism that lends this ideology the legitimacy needed to continuously validate the anti-Israel prejudice at its core.
