How the American media failed — and is still failing — in its coverage of Israel and Gaza
If you want to know the truth about what's happening in the Middle East, you won't find it watching PBS or listening to NPR.

“Hamas, where are the Bibas babies?”
— seen in Times Square, NY.
Don’t forget them. Don’t stop fighting for them. Yarden—and all of Israel—is waiting for Ariel, Kfir, and Shiri 🧡.

Today we watched one civilian woman be marched alone through a sea of armed terrorists.
But hey, let’s defend the armed men, say the “feminists” in the West.
Yep, that seems right.

Israel is desperately waiting to get back 5-year-old Ariel Bibas.
Hamas is waiting to get back terrorist Arafat Irfaiya, convicted of raping, killing, and beheading 19-year-old Israeli Ori Ansbacher, who was simply sitting in a park reading a book.

In which @jewishinsider.com details what some of us detected in the interview with Secretary Blinken. jewishinsider.com/2025/01/dail...
![This is not the first time that Garcia-Navarro has pressed interview subjects on Israel in a slanted manner. In an October interview with Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), Garcia-Navarro told the senator, “I would love to understand where your affinity with the state of Israel actually comes from” — a prompt unlikely to be given to, for example, Rep. Marc Pocan (D-WI) or Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), two of the most vocal Israel critics on Capitol Hill, about their support for the Palestinians.
Garcia-Navarro also asked Fetterman, a vocal supporter of Israel, “if [he’d] tried to understand the other side of this conflict,” and if “the price that’s been paid [by Gazans] is fair.” She also asked him about his support for Israel’s pager operation in Lebanon last year, which killed dozens of Hezbollah operatives and effectively crippled broad swaths of the Iran-backed group’s rank-and-file, noting that a child was killed in the operation — but not noting, as Fetterman did, that the child’s father was a Hezbollah operative and in possession of one of the pagers.
The debut episode of “The Conversation,” which aired last spring, featured former Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who has led Israel’s opposition since late 2022. In that interview, Garcia-Navarro described Israel’s response to Hamas’ attacks as “swift and brutal” and uncritically cited Hamas casualty statistics. Garcia-Navarro also suggested that the Netanyahu government has “almost tried to embarrass the Biden administration,” asking, “Biden has been a real friend to Bibi, but is Bibi a friend to Biden?”
Garcia-Navarro’s lines of questioning recall an October 2023 interview by her New York Times colleague Sabrina Tavernise during an interview with Rachel Goldberg-Polin for the publication’s podcast, “The Daily.” Tavernise asked Goldberg-Polin, who only weeks prior had been thrust into the spotlight as she fought for the release of her son, about the suffering of Gazans. “And I wonder, as a mother, how you see t…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pp6i56qqdo34wf4wwnghh22h/bafkreifxosiwiifhxx44mlknzmmmgpzh4s4fdokfozp7xo4z45p4ti7kji@jpeg)
