Analysis of Israeli media’s unbalanced reporting of Israel’s PM Netanyahu

 

Night after night in Israel, Channel 2 viewers have been subjected to saturation coverage of ‘Affair 2000’ that distorts more than it reveals and Israeli readers are bombarded with what seems daily negative articles related to Netanyahu and his family that run in the Hebrew daily, Yediot Aharonot.

Netanyahu’s Shameless Opponents By Caroline B. Glick

 

Over the past week, Israel was subjected to the diplomatic equivalent of a lynch mob in Paris. It received unexpected assistance from Britain, which twice in two days departed from its traditional anti-Israel stance and blocked the Paris conference’s anti-Israel declaration from being adopted as the official position of the European Union.

Jerusalem truck attack that killed 4 Israelis received int’l attention – but why, what changed?

 

view videoFor the first time foreign media & governmental officials treated the truck ramming by a Palestinian terrorist in Jerusalem differently, finally seeing the parallels to previous attacks by radical Islamists in Europe.

By i24news

 

Three days ago, a Palestinian driver plowed a truck into a group of IDF soldiers in Jerusalem, killing four.

The Occupier and the Occupied by David Marc Silon

 

Consider the following scenario: Violent settlers clash with the indigenous people. They take away their property and drive them off their land. Murders and kidnappings occur daily. There is no judicial recourse. Continue Reading »

TIME magazine decides to stick by bias, half-truth filled, & unethical reporting

 

Despite repeated requests to correct the factual error in an article mentioning a ‘Palestinian graphic designer’ killed by Israel, TIME magazine 5 months later has yet to mention that the Palestinian terrorist, Baha Aliyan, was armed & killed in the commision of a terror attack on a closed bus that left 3 dead, 17 others injured.

By Itamar Eichner

 

The article, published on October 15, 2015, by TIME correspondent Rebecca Collard, stated: “On Tuesday, Allyan (sic), a graphic designer from the predominantly Palestinian neighborhood Jabel Mukaber, was killed by Israeli security forces after allegedly trying to carry out an attack in Jerusalem.” Continue Reading »

Radical Islamic Palestinians have always been the greatest threat to Palestinian Christians

 

After credible threats to target Christians & their holy sites by Muslim extremists within the Palestinian territories, Abbas’ PA decided to cancel the Christmas celebrations, which, as many were led to believe, had nothing to do with Israel or the recent violence against Jews.

By Bassam Tawil

 

This was not a happy Christmas for our Palestinian brothers in the West Bank who happen to be Christian. The Palestinian Christians have now become a tiny minority in Bethlehem. This year, they were just lucky that Christmas passed without a major terrorist attack or serious outbreaks of violence.

CNN offers no apology or explanation to reader that asks, “Why is my country erased on this map?”

By JPOST.COM STAFF

 

A CNN Money article on the Middle East dropped Israel’s name from a map of the Middle East that accompanied a story on the turmoil in the region.

CNN Erases Israel From the Map

The article, entitled “Beyond ISIS: 2016’s scariest geopolitical hot spots,” naturally featured the ongoing war in Syria and the image that originally accompanied the article was a map of the Middle East.
