NY Times Cited Again for Journalistic Manipulation, This Time in Infant’s Terror Murder

NYT cited again for anti-Israel bias, this time for diminishing any Palestinian culpability of infant’s murder, using pejorative labels for Israelis, and omitting a multitude of incriminating details that unbiased media outlets would have reported.

By Hillel Fendel

 

The CAMERA media watchdog group has mounted a frontal assault on a New York Times article yet again – this time regarding biased coverage of the Palestinian terror attack in which an infant was killed.

At issue is the Times story reporting on last week’s Palestinian terrorist attack in Jerusalem that killed a 3-month-old infant and wounded eight other Israelis. “But instead of presenting the rather clear-cut events in an objective, straightforward manner,” writes CAMERA, “reporter Isabel Kershner quickly redirected readers away from the facts of Palestinian violence to focus instead on Israel’s alleged misdeeds.” Continue Reading »

Palestinians: We Want You Dead, Even If You Support Us

As the result of decades of ongoing incitement, Palestinians & Arabs can no longer distinguish between those who support them & those who stand against them. Peace is impossible unless Palestinians stop inciting their people against Jews and Israel.

by Khaled Abu Toameh

 

 

Two incidents that took place at university campuses in the West Bank in the past few days serve as a reminder that some Palestinians have no problem attacking or threatening even those who support and try to help them.

Pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist Israeli journalist Amira Hass was thrown out of Bir Zeit University campus, near Ramallah, only because she is an Israeli Jew.
