Does a a movie reviewer have a responsibility to let the audience know that a film is a complete work of fiction or that it includes such brutal themes it might incite the audience to violence? Here are comments from CAMERA on a Guardian review and another in the Washington Times on the new Netflix Jordanian film Farha. The events depicted just didn’t happen, and for the Guardian to promote these lies and the Times to call it a “coming-of-age” film, as if it were about a teenager dating boys in high school, is disgusting.

With the terrorist bombings in Jerusalem Wednesday morning being widely reported, you might have missed that on Tuesday, Palestinian terrorists entered a hospital and removed an Israeli teen wounded in a car accident. The young man, 17, was from Israel's Druze minority. His father, who was in the hospital room with him, said the terrorists disconnected him from hospital equipment and took him! See here and here

Lot's of coverage about new govt. in Israel. Based on the coverage, you might be fooled into thinking the papers had something positive to say about the previous govt (before now). Not a word in today's NYTimes about the rockets fired at central Israel by Islamic Jihad in Gaza yesterday. Censoring news about terror does not make it go away, it only keeps the readers from understanding Israel. AP/NYT/LAT/WSJ etc. bemoan the rightward shift of the Israeli electorate and credits this to a rise in feelings of “Jewish supremacy,” while ignoring the increase in Palestinian attacks on Israelis, Palestinian rejection of multiple proposals that would have led to the establishment of the first-ever-to-exist Arab State of Palestine, the anti-Jewish rhetoric that spews from Palestinian mosques, schoolrooms, and media outlets, the PA’s “pay for slay” program, and Hamas’ firing missiles at Jerusalem when Israeli security forces dare to try to stop Palestinians’ hurling rocks and fireworks from the Al-Aqsa courtyard at Jews’ praying at the Western Wall. See related story on Thomas Friedman from JNS here.

*A Hebron Hatchet Job: Three Ways The Media Misreported Israel’s Latest Terror Atrocity (Honest Reporting)  Saturday’s shooting was the latest in a string of deadly attacks targeting Israeli civilians and soldiers — Hanania became the third casualty in just three weeks. Yet this is how the Associated Press (AP), a global news institution with 1,300 clients such as The Washington Post, ABC News, and Fox News, framed the story: Palestinian gunman, Israeli man, dead in West Bank Attack. 

Wondering what Kyrie Irving was promoting? “Wakeup Black America” a revisionist historical portrayal of Jews as controlling the African slave trade. It is not only false but inflammatory and can lead to violence.

Myths about the "Historic" Israel-Lebanon Maritime Border Agreement  (Hudson Institute)  The agreement will not make Lebanon less dependent on Iran. Lebanon is controlled by Hizbullah, which is controlled by Iran
How the Israel-Lebanon Maritime Deal Impacts Hizbullah's Resistance Narrative  (War on the Rocks)  in response to the maritime border deal, Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah said, "We do not have any problem with the agreement with Israel." He didn't say "occupied Palestine" or the "enemy state." For many Lebanese, this indicates a major shift in narrative and strategy.


What makes this ridiculous is that there is no mention of the increased terror attacks on Israelis. It is like reporting on those arrested during a crime surge and saying there have been a record number of arrests without saying that there is a crime surge, On Palestinians' Deadliest Day, CNN Protects the Lions Den (CAMERA) CNN is highly diligent about tracking the most deadly days for Palestinians. Unfortunately, the Wall Street Journal does the same thing here
