Guardian report on Airbnb ban against West Bank Jews is riddled with distortions
Jerusalem correspondent Oliver Holmes has offered something akin to a master class in how the Guardian – by use of selective, distorted and at times outright false information – skews what are ostensibly ‘straight news stories’ to promote the pro-Palestinian agenda and paint Israel in the worst possible light.
Indy Mid-East reporter’s tweet exposes profound misunderstanding of the conflict
Regardless of whether Netanyahu’s comparison between Hamas and ISIS is accurate, the point is that Hamas – like other Islamist extremist movements – can not be placated in the long-term by Western political concessions. The antisemitic extremist group’s fundamental grievance isn’t an economic one, but, rather, the continued existence of a Jewish state – and no journalist covering the region can possibly report accurately on the conflict if they fail to comprehend this most basic truth.
Sarah Helm at the Independent: 3700 words of Hamas-friendly propaganda
Sarah Helm is not a journalist. She’s more akin to a pro-Palestinian activist whose visceral contempt for Israel at times bleeds off the page, and has included tweets expressing support for Hamas violence and even justifying antisemitism.

British media blame Israel for Gaza’s economic woes. Gazans blame Hamas and the PA
These counterintuitive findings offer a rare honest glimpse into what Palestinians living under Hamas’s despotic rule in Gaza actually believe, providing a “compelling corrective” to an entrenched media echo-chamber which continues to mislead readers about the dynamics which represent the true root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
UKMW prompts Times of London to remove gratuitous reference to ‘wealthy Jews’
We sent a complaint to Times of London editors arguing that whilst it’s perfectly fair to note that a significant minority of the residents of the Australian voting district are Jewish, their reference to the wealth of the Jewish residents seemed gratuitous and, though unintended, evoked toxic tropes about the influence of ‘Jewish money’ on democratic politics.
UKMW prompts Guardian to acknowledge there’s no ‘settler-only’ roads in the West Bank
Following communication with UK Media Watch, editors at The Guardian agreed to correct an op-ed which erroneously claimed that there were “settler-only” roads in the West Bank.
As we’ve demonstrated on numerous occasions, there is not, nor have there ever been, religiously based restrictions on roads in Israel or the West Bank – nor roads only for settlers
UKMW prompts Guardian to acknowledge there’s no ‘settler-only’ roads in the West Bank
The myth that there are ‘Jews-only’ or ‘settler-only’ roads in the West Bank has been debunked numerous times over the years by CAMERA and its affiliates – prompting corrections at news sites such as CNN, Associated Press, Washington Post, The Economist, The Financial Times and The Telegraph.
