Campus encampments have been overwhelmingly peaceful, yet articles like this purposeful use perceived antisemitism to demonize antigenocide demonstrations.
Criticism of Israel Does NOT Equal Antisemitism

Bret Stephens is a genocide-denier with a history of being an outright anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian Islamophobe. Yet NYT gives his war-mongering demonization a platform.
Demand NYT ends complicity in Islamophobia.
War-Mongering
The Economist’s article hinges upon pure demonic speculation of Iran using nuclear bombs – all to manufacture consent for Israel’s aggression in the region.
Demand a retraction;
The Economist is publishing baseless opinions presented as journalism.
The NYT’s article on the brutality of Hamas is nothing short of a red herring, full of deflections and justifications for Israel’s egregious war crimes in Gaza
Western Media’s Islamophobic, anti-Arab dehumanizing rhetoric seeks to demonize any resistance to Israel’s occupation and colonization of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and others. Why are Western nations ‘allies’ and Eastern nations ‘terrorists?’

Drop the word ‘aid.’
Reuters must call it what it is: America is funding a genocide.
Full Stop.
Demand honest and ethical reporting and an end to the complicity.
Deploying hidden bombs in grocery stores, markets, and family homes killing children and civilians not engaged in combat is terrorism
Demand an end to the glorification of Israel’s war crimes.

Business Insider https://wordsofjustice.org/campaigns/BI-Terrorattack
Western Media is running with the story of the Philadelphi Corridor as a legitimate security concern. Demand they drop Israel’s framing bias. This is Israel moving the goalposts to prolong the genocide and isolate Gaza.
WSJ is framing delivery of apples as a reprive. What about the call to starve Northern Gaza, intentional starvation of Palestinians. Demand proper coverage

So why are outlets reporting on Netanyahu’s so-called Gaza plan failing to state that his map effectively annexes the West Bank?
Demand an apology and correction – this is ethnic cleansing and should be called out

Giving Birth in Gaza is missing one thing – who is doing this?
By failing to mention Israel, Marie-Claie absolves Israel of its war crimes: a genocidal campaign that has rendered pregnancy and childbirth life-threatening.
Thank them for the expose.
Demand accountability.
An Israeli sniper targeted and killed Aysenur as she was in a peaceful gathering. As has been the pattern, the Israeli government and Western media seem to be working hand in hand to demonize Aysenur and blame her for her own murder.
Demand a retraction from the most egregious publications:

Demand accurate reporting:

For PALESTINIAN rights is NOT THE SAME AS Anti-Canadian

Undermining the extent of Israel’s genocide.
Their egregious attempts to create a “controversy” around how many Palestinians Israel killed, to cast doubt through “according to the health ministry, which does not distinguish between combatants and civilians” and to demonize with phrases like the “Hamas-run ministry” have acted to aid and abet Israel’s ethnic cleansing.
Demand an apology and a commitment to truthful reporting that reflects the growing consensus. We knew this was a genocide. Now, we’re beginning to learn the extent of it.

Call out Media fear-mongering: Israel has done nothing to free the hostages
Israel could have had its captives back on October 8th. Instead, they have sabotaged every ceasefire. The media has glossed over all of this and is using “new orders” to demonize Hamas. This disregards a) the Nuseirat massacre in which the world learned how little Palestinian lives are valued and b) Hamas has agreed to release the captives, Israel is refusing to stop the genocide.

For the past year, the media has adopted a bothsideism narrative regarding why a ceasefire deal has not been reached. We’ve been telling them Israel is sabotaging the ceasefire deals, most notably when they assassinated Ismail Haniyeh and demonized his successor, Yahya Sinwar. The Palestine Chronicle reports on what is being called a Blood Document – hard proof of Israel’s sabotaging the last ceasefire deal. Demand the media stop complicity in shifting the blame from Israel.

CNBC’s recent interview parrots the lie that Hamas has rejected the ceasefire deals and is therefore responsible for the death of these hostages. Correct them here:
These lies paint the aggressor as the victim and demonize any resistance or acts of self-defence. The media must end its parroting of Israel’s dangerous rhetoric. Respond here:

NAKBA, NAKBA, NAKBA:
“Right now, one goal: Nakba! A Nakba that will overshadow the Nakba of 48.” – Ariel Kallner, Oct 7. 2023
We are witnessing Israel enacting these words: genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing and displacement in the West Bank. The media is complicit in this crime! By framing Israel’s actions as legitimate military incursions and demonizing Palestinian’s right to defend their lives, loved ones and land. Let them know what Israel is doing amounts to terrorism: unlawful violence for political gain: to illegally annex more land.
