By DANIELLE ZIRI

 

NEW YORK, NY – As the wave of terror in Israel continues to make international headlines, social media has been flooded with angry posts by Jewish and Israeli people from around the world complaining about the foreign outlets’ coverage of events. For some it is too minimal, for others, it it too biased against Israel.

As West Ignores Arabs Butchering Jews, Palestinian Propaganda is Working Overtime

 

As Western mainstream media is doing little to cover a balanced and accurate accounting of random Palestinian carnage directed specifically at Jews, Arab media portrays the subdued attackers with images of ‘innocent children executed by Israel.’ 

By Elior Levy

 

Arab and Palestinian social media has been abuzz with inciting images which portray the perpetrators of attacks against Israelis as innocent victims of Israeli aggression.

Disinformation is neither new nor a stranger to the Palestinian propaganda campaign, but it seems to have intensified by the recent events.

Almost every picture of a neutralized terrorist is quickly uploaded to social media, and is portrayed as a “cold blooded execution.”

Int’l media ignores or misreports latest wave of Palestinian terrorism throughout Israel

 

International media is focusing on Palestinian deaths by Israeli security forces, mostly ignoring that the Palestinians were killed after stabbing or killing civilians and/or police.

By Eli Leon & News Agencies

 

Although the international media, for the large part, has not been devoting significant coverage to the recent wave of Palestinian terrorist attacks in Israel, many of the outlets that have reported the attacks have failed to accurately represent the situation.

Has Double Standard Argument Backfired On Israel?

Maybe it’s time to acknowledge that Israel’s arguments of double standards has only invited more condemnation, and the time to do what is necessary without explanation has arrived.

By Tsvi Sadan

Bennett in Hostile BBC Interview: Iran Deal is a Farce, Like with North Korea

view videoWATCH: In a remarkably hostile BBC interview, Israeli Minister Naftali Bennett exposes the changes from what Kerry had promised in final nuclear deal.

By Ari Soffer

 

As reactions for and against the deal signed with Iran Tuesday morning continue to pour in, Israeli Education Minister and Jewish Home party head Naftali Bennett took Israel’s case against the deal to the international media.

P5+1 Nuclear Agreement – Historic Farce

In an interview with a notably hostile, even antagonistic BBC anchor, Bennett outlined perhaps the most glaring hole in the deal: the fact that Iran will receive nearly a month’s notice prior to any inspections of nuclear sites – ample time to hide evidence of illegal, bomb-making activity.

BBC Admits Mistranslation That Hid Indoctrination of Palestinian Anti-Semitism

In a bias anti-Israel documentary, the BBC deliberately mistranslates Palestinian children’s hateful & racist comments about ‘Jews’ to make them appear acceptable.

By Matt Wanderman

 

Even before the BBC’s new documentary on last summer’s war in Gaza airs, the broadcasting organization has admitted that it distorts the truth in order to make the Palestinians appear more sympathetic.

BBC offices – Reuters

The documentary, entitled “Children of Gaza,” aims at depicting how Operation Protective Edge affected children living in and around the Gaza Strip.

The program has not yet aired, but according to the Jewish Chronicle the Palestinians’ testimonies were mistranslated in order to cover up frequent anti-Semitic comments.

CNN Calls 32 Year Old Town ‘New Settlement’ Proving Embedded Anti-Israel Bias – AGAIN

AGAIN, A CNN Screwup: Over 3 decades after the town was established, CNN has “discovered” Mevo Horon – and declared it an “illegal settlement” in it’s ‘news’ [sic].

By Moshe Cohen

 

Nearly three decades after it was established, CNN has “discovered” the town of Mevo Horon – and declared it an “illegal settlement,” according to Yehudit Tiar, one of the town’s long-time residents. “When I contacted them, they themselves admitted that they weren’t clear on the dates. It just goes to show the quality of research and level of believability in the mass media.”

The “discovery” of CNN was apparently made over Passover, when the news network broadcast a story about a “new settlement” that was “causing distress to three Palestinian villages.” Continue Reading »

WATCH: Associated Press Deceitfully Distorts News Events to Besmirch Israel

Fresh examination into the duplicitous reporting by AP during the Gaza war, again demonstrates the importance of finding a honest news source.

By David Lazarus

 

It is estimated that the Associated Press (AP) news content is seen by half the world’s population, according to the wire agency’s website. Yet even this most highly respected of news agencies used staged pictures and omitted information in a reckless attempt to paint Israel as a rogue nation indiscriminately slaughtering women and children during last year’s Gaza war.

Lies About Gaza Are Swallowed Easily and Exploited Widely to Libel Israel

Year after year, mainstream media continue their traditional anti-Israel frenzy knowing full well the lies portray the Jewish State in a sinister manor.

By Ryan Jones

 

Had they done so, these gatekeepers of Western public opinion would have realized that Israel has no dams that can be opened and closed in its southern region, and that Gaza is simply a low-lying coastal area that unfortunately suffers severe flooding during winters with average-to-above average rainfall.

The Daily Mail did later publish a retraction, but, as usual, the damage had already been done.

One story most of these media outlets chose not to cover was the announcement last week that Israel would soon double the amount of fresh water it provides to Gaza.
