Israel like most countries today are having a push/pull between the right and the left. Our questions: why is it getting so much coverage and why is so much of the coverage far from impartial? While we were in Spain, we opened the NYT app and the first 3 stories were about Israel's judicial reforms. The fourth article was about Russian attacks on Ukraine, which impacts the world food supply. Does this make sense to you? CAMERA reports on major news organizations like CNN ignoring newsworthy stories in places like Yemen, Syria, Egypt, and Turkey so it can indulge its obsession with the Jewish state. Meanwhile,  the US is building a 43 acre, $1billion “embassy" in Lebanon. There is essentially no government in Lebanon except Hezbollah.
