Message from Managing Editor, Adam Levick

Friends,

The Guardian’s release of selective notes taken by Palestinians during the course of their peace negotiations with Israel, referred to as “Palestine Papers”, revealed more about the Guardian than it did about the negotiations themselves.  CiF Watch posts revealed that, throughout their commentary on the “Palestine Papers”, the Guardian perversely framed even the hint of compromise and flexibility by the Palestinians as “craven”, continually used quotes out of context to grossly mischaracterize the views of Israeli negotiators, and gave license to commentators who explicitly called for a return to terrorism.  In short, the Guardian’s release of the Palestine Papers represented an (extremist) agenda in search of evidence to support it.  Perhaps the only positive development to arise from the Guardian’s “expose” was an increasing realization, from across the political spectrum, as to just how egregious the Guardian’s anti-Israel bias truly is.

Recent Highlights

Guardian’s verdict upon release of “Palestine Papers” announced upon publication: Israel Guilty
CiF Watch was among the first blogs to comment on the Guardian’s release of the “Palestine Papers”, and observed early on how their framing of the “expose” was actually a window into how entrenched their anti-Israel agenda has become. The Guardian contextualized thousands of documents in a manner which just so happened to be consistent with their increasing support and legitimization of the most extreme voices within Palestinian society.

Guardian again legitimizes voices openly justifying terrorism
CiF Watch commented on the Guardian’s decision to publish a letter by a UK professor which morally sanctioned the use of terrorism by Palestinians against Israeli civilians. (Read original, and related posts, herehere, and here.)

Guardian publishes cartoon by notorious anti-Semitic cartoonist, Carlos Latuff
One of the Guardian’s “Palestine Papers” included the following illustration by one of the most prolific anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic cartoonists, Carlos Latuff.  Here’s the cartoon, depicting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas as a sinister looking (gun wielding) Orthodox Jew:
