by Ezra HaLevi Arutz Sheva February 28, 2007 (IsraelNN.com) A popular Arab news site has been caught ‘sanitizing’ Arabic hate terminology in its English translations. The Ma’an News Service publishes several articles a day in Arabic that it then translates and releases in English. Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) released a report Tuesday noting that Ma’an’s […]

by Tamar Sternthal CAMERA January 3, 2007 Like death and taxes, B’Tselem’s end-of-the-year publication of Palestinian and Israeli fatalities is a guaranteed affair, as is the accompanying press release. And, inevitably, journalists will dutifully report B’Tselem’s findings, sometimes inaccurately, sometimes not. And while the publication of the statistics is a sure thing, its accuracy and […]

Peace Now, the Israel-based advocacy group, has issued a new report, Breaking the Law – One Violation Leads to Another, claiming that “a large proportion of the settlements built on the West Bank are built on privately owned Palestinian land,” including 86.4% of Ma’ale Adumim’s land and 35.1% of Ariel’s.

CAMERA October 17, 2006 As many National Public Radio affiliates conduct fall fundraising campaigns, listeners being asked to donate to the tax-funded network should consider its continuing, slanted coverage of the Arab-Israeli conflict, as well as NPR’s lopsided reporting about Jewish American and Muslim American concerns.

Introduction The image of Mohammed Al Dura, a 12-year-old Palestinian boy crouched in terror behind his father as he allegedly becomes the fatal victim of Israeli bullets, has become an icon of Palestinian “martyrdom,” especially in the Arab world. It has been repeatedly broadcast on television, appeared in Palestinian posters, advertisements and on Arab country […]

by Eric Rozenman CAMERA September 1, 2006 Washington Post coverage of Arab-Israeli news struck bottom with Post foreign service correspondent Doug Struck’s Aug. 28, page-one article “Israeli Siege Leaves Gaza Isolated and Desperate.” It brings to mind President Harry S. Truman’s remark that when he heard people say they knew only what they read in […]

August 1, 2006 CAMERA by Gilead Ini Since Hezbollah first attacked Israeli towns and troops on July 12, hundreds of thousands of Israeli and Lebanese civilians have fled their homes—the former to escape thousands of Hezbollah rockets targeting Israeli civilians, and the latter to avoid Israel’s counter-offensive, which is aimed at stopping Hezbollah’s rocket-fire and […]
