While the other giants of American journalism, the New York Times and the Washington Post, have over the last few decades become increasingly anti-Israel in their coverage, one could count on the Wall Street Journal, from the time when the late Robert Bartley became editor-in-chief until just now, for accurate coverage of the jihad against the Jewish state, and […]
Media Mourns ‘Moderate,’ ‘Pragmatic’ Hamas Leader Who Wanted to Kill All the Jews
“We love death like our enemies love life.” After attending the inauguration of Iran’s new president among the festive chants of “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh found death waiting for him. “We always shout: ‘Death for the sake of Allah is our loftiest aspiration,’” Haniyeh had claimed. The Hamas billionaire […]
Washington Post portrays Israel as aggressor in story on Hizballah strike in northern Israel
This is entirely consistent with the establishment media practice, which is always to portray Israel as the aggressor. “Washington Post admits it ‘did not provide adequate context’ on front page Israel-Hezbollah escalation story,” by Brian Flood and Joseph A. Wulfsohn, Fox News, July 30, 2024: The Washington Post admitted it “did not provide adequate context” […]
How the BBC and Le Monde Reported on Hezbollah’s Killing of 12 Druze Children
On Saturday, July 27, Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets at northern Israel, hitting the Druze town of Majdal Shams on the Golan Heights. At least one of the rockets hit a soccer pitch where children were playing. Twelve children and young teenagers were killed; 44 were wounded. The BBC had a most peculiar way of […]
Media Mourns ‘Moderate’ and ‘Pragmatic’ Dead Hamas Leader
If only he had also been an austere religious scholar, too. When Israel out Hamas terror boss Ismail Haniyeh, it broke a lot of hearts including that of white BLM leader Shaun King. King, who is allegedly white, is a former BLM activist turned random grifter who converted to Islam. And like any grifter went […]
Horton Smears Anew
In 2019, five years after a petition first appeared, demanding that a letter in The Lancet accusing the IDF of “massacres” in Gaza be retracted, it seemed that the journal’s editor, Richard Horton, no longer bore ill-will toward Israel. By then Horton had visited Israel and seen how its medical system provides equally excellent care to […]
A Longer Look At The Lancet
Last Friday, I posted a piece at Jihad Watch about a letter that the British medical journal, The Lancet, had just published, without its editor, Richard Horton, subjecting that letter’s contents to any review. The letter claimed, preposterously, that those terrible Israelis may have killed as many as 186,000 people in Gaza, which is four […]
Media Buries Jihad Rocket Killing 12 Kids on Israeli Soccer Field
As bad as you think the media is, it always manages to be worse. The media routinely plays up civilian casualties in any Israeli air strike. But as the headlines show the game is played very differently when Islamic terrorist attacks kill children. After the Islamic terrorist group Hezbollah struck a soccer field in the […]
Netanyahu and the ‘Fact-Checkers’
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress on July 25, and among the subjects he discussed were the efforts Israel has made to bring humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. He mentioned that Israel had delivered 40,000 trucks full of aid — chiefly food and medicine — to Gaza since the war began on October […]
In The Lancet, a Claim of 186,000 Casualties in Gaza
The Lancet is one of the most respected medical journals in the world. Yet it recently published a letter by three authors, two of them Muslim Arabs, claiming that the number of dead in Gaza may be as high as 186,000, more than four times the number —39,000 — claimed by Hamas itself, and Hamas […]
