The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is bankrolled by Canadian taxpayers. Its objectivity has been questioned in light of the 1.4 billion dollars it receives annually from the government. The story not only reveals suppression of truth at the CBC, but also a work environment which fosters antisemitism. Israel is engaged in existential war; does this revelation […]
The Death of a Grandmother in Gaza Raises a Few Questions
Hala Khreis lived in Gaza, a 58-year-old grandmother whose recent death was reported on by CNN’s correspondent Clarissa Ward. Ward uncritically repeated the charge made by Hamas that this “grandmother” was killed by the merciless IDF. The Middle East Affairs analyst Rafael Castro casts some doubt on this story here: “Is CNN now part of […]
How the New York Times Covered the Pope’s Easter Message
The New York Times, ever true to its anti-Israel self, provided a slanted coverage of Pope Francis’ Easter Message, one that focussed on his brief remarks on Gaza, as if they were central to his remarks. More on the Times’ report on the Pope’s urbi et orbi address can be found here: “New York Times Imposes Its […]
Biden Regime Blasts Israel for Shutting Down Al Jazeera
Al Jazeera isn’t the press. It’s a terrorist operation. Al Jazeera, an arm of the Islamic terror state of Qatar, originally the video dump for Osama bin Laden’s greatest hits, bought up much of Washington D.C. and corrupted the media so that everyone pretends it’s a news organization. The United States not only knew that […]
Fortunately, Not Everyone Depends on CNN For Gaza Coverage
CNN has, in its coverage of the IDF’s Al-Shifa operation, performed dismally: “CNN’s coverage of Shifa Hospital is abysmal. Every IDF claim is doubted, and none of the Palestinian claims – unless they support the IDF statements,” Elder of Ziyon, March 31, 2024: CNN takes pains to cast doubt on literally everything the IDF says. […]
How CNN Reported on the IDF’s Spectacular Operation at Al-Shifa Hospital
On March 19, having feigned for several weeks that it was about to attack sites in central Gaza, the IDF instead launched a surprise attack on the Al-Shifa Hospital just outside Gaza City. During the previous month, many hundreds of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives and their families had been streaming into Al-Shifa, where […]
NPR Reporter Wants to Make Hostage Freed by IDF on Feb. 12 Feel Guilty About Gazan Deaths That Day
In February, IDF special forces managed to raid a site in Gaza and free two hostages being held by Hamas — Luis Har and Fernando Marman. When NPR’s Daniel Estrin interviewed Har, a 71-year-old accountant, instead of sympathetically sharing in Har’s relief, he seemed peeved that Har did not criticize the IDF’s use of airstrikes […]
Selective Sympathies, Or, Only Palestinian Lives Matter
Have you noticed how the war in Gaza, or rather, the “suffering women and especially children” in Gaza, are now taking up so much of the news bandwidth? Since that war started on October 7, we no longer see on the nightly news much about the war in Ukraine, though that war is still going […]
Gaza, Sudan, and the Media’s Selective Sympathies
While we are constantly told in the media about an impending “food crisis” in Gaza — which crisis is largely the result not of an absence of food but of the maldistribution of food aid, much of which is seized by Hamas for the benefit of its own operatives, their extended families, and the clans […]
Hamas and Al Jazeera admit that claims of IDF raping women in Gaza hospital were false
According to a hadith, Muhammad said, “War is deceit.” (Bukhari 4.52.268). “Hamas, Al Jazeera admit: Story of IDF rapes in Gaza hospital fabricated,” by Ohad Merlin, Jerusalem Post, March 25, 2024: After more than 24 hours of letting the story run freely, Qatari mouthpiece Al Jazeera deleted the page featuring their former story, which accused […]
