The international news media talk in codes that allow them to defame Israel while pretending to cover the Israeli-Palestinian conflict fairly. They have fooled many. It is time to crack the code.
The Israel-hating mainstream media is so unbelievably biased, but often in even more subtle ways. They go out of their way to report the "wildly unpopular" Netanyahu "regime", the often omit "Hamas terrorist organization controlled" when describing the health ministry.
I'll never forget when I cancelled my LA Times subscription, back in the 1980s. There was a horrible, totally unprovoked attack on Israel by islamists. The headline on the front page of the Times read something like "Arabs Prepare for Israeli Attack". There was also a photo next to the article showing sweet looking bedouins packing up their belongings. You had to get to the beck page if the section to see language that even mentioned the original attack that Israel "claimed" had happened.
I literally cannot recall one single story about Israel, on 60 Minutes, that ever portrayed the country in a positive light. "Think All Israelis Want to Make Peace with Their Neighbors? Well, tonight on 60 Minutes, we'll introduce you to an Israeli group that's worse then the Nazis. All this and Andy Rooney..."
The media battle is one that Israel has lost decisively. Why? Because many of our media members lean to the left, and some to the far left, and the left is every bit as antisemitic as the far right.
And I write this as someone who is very liberal personally.
Thank you. As an example in item #11 you wrote: "The media never mentions this because many of them do not like Jews either. Or they are just unbelievably bad journalists.". A number of 'media' sources and journalists are Jewish and "do not like Jews either". They often a) "do not like Jews" who have a different i.e. opposing viewpoint; and/or, b) "do not like Jews" who actually fully adhere to even some of our Cultural Practices ('religion' - 'Judaism'). As per my usual rants since Simcha Torah (Oct 8, 2023 when many of us in the Antipodes found out the news of "Oct 7") I have repeatedly Commented, posted, shared 1) we Jews (particularly) need to get "The BIG Lesson"; and, 2) "Now What". I am sure 10s of 1000s if not a few million Jewish persons need to read your essay. They also, like me, and possibly 'we' need to then 'get with the program' and DO something about their own relationship to Jewish Culture (and I prefer to use that term than 'religion' per se). And their relation to local, national, international Jewish groups/organizations/communities (as in Jewish congregations), and to Jewish individuals whom they may know. The wonderful writers of Future of Jewish guest writers included can not 'do' what I need to do as an individual Jewish person. They do a lot by sharing their educated craft of research, contemplation, consideration, writing and posting. To 'do' means also shifting out of the activism of 'write a Letter to the Editor' 'write to your elected Representative' 'have a kaffe klatch with a Jewish person who also likes to nosh and josh (essen und fressen) etc. Me? I do what I do and I 'do' what I 'do'. What, if anything, do you suggest us of the humble mass do? Not that you have to know nor suggest. I'm just asking for a friend.
An excellent compendium of Arab terrorist history and the media's promotional complicity in the ongoing attempt to exterminate Israel. The One who watches over Israel, never slumbers or sleeps.
In the original promise of the land of Israel to Abraham (then Abram) in Genesis 12.3, G-d says to Abram, "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, and Iran are on the wrong side of those words.
In the meantime, while G-d is following through on the above, Israel does have some items to attend to; probably most importantly - Deuteronomy 4.5-6: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength."
And bear witness that Israel's G-d is a promise keeping G-d, who doesn't forget. Woe to those who are forgetting Hashem gave the lands of Israel in perpetuity. I think that means like, a long, long time. Very long.
Our two biggest enemies in the war of Public Opinion are Mainstream Legacy Media and the Education System and both have turned biased gradually over the past 20-30 years,
When it comes to the education system, my understanding is that there has been a marriage of the Marxists and the Islamists and they have infiltrated our education system and curriculum. Not just against Israel but against all of Western Culture. Its Marxism over Capitalism, WOKE, DEI and the rest of the rot is teaching Americans to hate their society, and that we are colonizers, White oppressors no long It is that we are colonizers and they have joined completely the Palestina/ Hamas ideology when it comes to Israel.
As far as Mainstream Media, it also has changed over the past 20-30 years but it remains a mystery to me as to why? Perhaps, the Marxist young people are the ones now getting hired? I just dont have a good reason why Mainstream Media is so united on villifying Israel? Its right acrosss the board .... CNN, BBC, ABC, NY Times, WaPo, CBC, CBS and the list goes on and on. Its basically all of them and I find it so incredible that it can be so unified. Just dont understand it at all. Would love to hear a comprehensive reason. Just to say that they are anti semites doesn't do it for me. What incentivizes them?
I read an AP piece wherein it stated that "Palestinian Security Forces" were guarding humanitarian aid from theft. Palestinian Security Forces = Hamas, guarding humanitarian aid =stealing. The AP is too debauched for further comment.
The Agenda you speak of is support for Ukraine and Hamas. Both of these are supported by The Nazis high in The State here, because Ukraine and Hamas are anti-Russian and Anti-Semitic, against enemies of Hitler and are therefore Nazi Unfinished business. We monitors have seen Ukraine and Palestinian-Entity flags flying TOGETHER deep inside a Five outer-office in the field here in London. This agenda is then pushed by Placement Officers of Elements of Six, here in the Media in The UK.

Since when, during WAR, do countries apologize and rationalize for the civilians of the enemy killed?
This article needs to be spread worldwide!

This is an excellent primer on why the legacy media has zero credibility on such issues
Outstanding bold article

Crazy
Helpful for understanding

If you have already written about that alignment i.e. Ukr/Hamsters could you please repost/send the related link?
This is such a great list and shows the bias so clearly.
