by Eric Rozenman Separate Washington Post departments get two different Israel-related subjects fundamentally wrong — both similarly skewed against legitimate Jewish-Israeli concerns — in the same issue. What are the odds? The Post’s Sunday, August 7 edition included an Outlook/Book World section review of J Street founder Jeremy Ben-Ami’s recently released A New Voice for [...]

by Gilead Ini Every so often, the New York Times provides especially striking evidence of its double standard with regard to Israel. In 2009, for example, the newspaper published a front-page story, and two additional follow-up articles, claiming that Israeli snipers targeted Palestinian civilians during that year’s Gaza war.

Bronner’s Flotilla Bias The New York Times seems less and less concerned about factual coverage of Israel, as Ethan Bronner’s July 2, 2011 column titled “Setting Sail on Gaza’s Sea of Spin” underscores. Bronner begins his “news analysis” piece by comparing the latest Gaza flotilla, led by radical anti-Israel extremists and terrorist groups, with the [...]
