I have noted repeatedly in recent months the obvious anti-Semitic bias of the world press and the UN, especially during the last Israel-Hamas war. But perhaps there is more operating here than just antisemitism. Matti Friedman is a journalist (no doubt sympathetic to Israel), and his piece in the Atlantic Monthly What the Media Gets Wrong About Israel is a fascinating insight into how the world press gets its stories, and often gets them wrong.
It is worth reading this piece and pondering whether similar distortions are occurring in stories from elsewhere in the world..
Thoughts and observations about the world condition.
