This pattern also reflects a well-documented Israeli strategy of manufacturing doubt to evade accountability for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, crimes that have contributed to circumstances under which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu now faces an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court.

This media trend has frequently taken the form of uncritically repeating Israeli claims that the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza is inflating the Palestinian death toll, or has otherwise cast suspicion on the credibility of Palestinian death toll reporting. Continue reading

Conflating a pro-Palestinian protest chant with antisemitism is neither fair nor accurate; it rests on an exaggerated interpretation presented as fact. This is not fair or balanced journalism. Continue reading

While the article is a factual report of Trump’s tit-for-tat, schoolyard-bully-style leadership and how he is responding to Carney’s latest words and actions, it provides very little context around the “Board of Peace” itself.
