social media.
https://honestreporting.com/sign-our-petition-help-end-un-backed-hate-campaign-against-israel-and-the-jewish-people/

Miloon Kothari is one of three members of the controversial ‘UN Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and in Israel‘ (COI), which is currently carrying out an unprecedented open-ended probe into Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, set up following 2021’s 11-day Hamas-initiated conflict.

So far, his hateful remarks have been condemned by nearly 20 countries, including the United States. Yet in a non-apology issued on August 4, Kothari only expressed regrets that his words were “perceived and experienced to be antisemitic.”
As HonestReporting has said from the start, antisemitic, pro-Palestinian “experts” like Miloon Kothari, Navi Pillay, and Chris Sidoti cannot be trusted to approach the Arab-Israeli conflict without bias. Their crusade against the world’s only Jewish state cannot be allowed to continue.

Please join us by signing our petition demanding the resignation of Navi Pillay, Miloon Kothari, and Chris Sidoti as members of the UN Commission of Inquiry.

The ‘Fix’ Is In: How Hitler-Quoting Palestinians Are Warping Gaza Conflict Coverage; Sky Is Failing: British Broadcaster’s Seriously Unbalanced Coverage of Israel’s Operation Breaking Dawn Against PIJ
The Associated Press this week accused Hamas of trying to muzzle reporters operating in the Gaza Strip. Under new rules issued by the US-designated terror organization, Palestinians applying for entry visas on behalf of foreign news outlets were told they must always accompany their colleagues and would be held responsible for what they produce.

HonestReporting takes a look into some of the “fixers” who shaped the Western coverage of the recent conflict between the Israel Defense Forces and Islamist terrorists in Gaza.

Sky Is Failing: British Broadcaster’s Seriously Unbalanced Coverage of Israel’s Operation Breaking Dawn Against PIJ

Since the escalation between Israel and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which saw the latter fire more than a thousand rockets at Israeli towns and cities as the former attempted to kill senior PIJ commanders who are responsible for masterminding terrorist atrocities, Sky News has run several pieces that attempt to delve deep into the heart of the conflict.

The British broadcaster chose to perpetuate a certain narrative instead of sticking to the facts.

The victory of the IDF on the military battlefield was even better than expected.
 
The victory on the media battlefield was a total surprise. 
 
Credit for that win must also go to the IDF, which immediately proved wrong reports it had killed children who were victims of misfired Islamic Jihad rockets.
But the most positive media coverage Israel has received in any operation in Gaza would not have happened without the FIVE briefings with security experts provided to top journalists by HonestReporting's own MediaCentral project, which made news around the world.

Operation Breaking Dawn: Three Ways the Media Got It Wrong
 
Over the weekend, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group fired 1,100 rockets towards Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip. More than a million Israeli civilians were sent running to shelters as they feared for their lives.

And while Iranian-backed terrorists attacked families in southern Israel, Tel Aviv and the outskirts of Jerusalem, the media assault against the Jewish state also went into full swing.

Here are three ways journalists misled their readers about Operation Breaking Dawn and PIJ.

Operation Breaking Dawn and Tisha Be’Av: Viewed Through the Prism of History
 
“Not just one alone has risen against us to destroy us, but in every generation they rise against us to destroy us, and the Holy One, blessed be He, saves us from their hand,” The Haggadah reads.

The observance of the Tisha Be’av fast that started on Saturday night is a painful reminder of several such attempts, which occurred on what became the saddest day on the Jewish calendar.

Nowadays, it is Iran that wants to destroy the Jewish State and is gradually obtaining the nuclear weapons to be able to do it. The Islamic Republic is fully in command of the Gaza-based terrorist organization Islamic Jihad, funds it, and has armed it with the 450 rockets that were fired within 30 hours at Israeli civilians.

Tisha Be'Av Reflections from HonestReporting (VIDEO)
 
 
On Sunday, Jews around the world mark 1,952 years since the destruction of the Second Temple, which sent the Jewish people into a bitter exile that would only end with the founding of the modern State of Israel in 1948. During the mourning period preceding Tisha Be'Av, HonestReporting's staff had the privilege of ascending the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

There, we saw with our own eyes how the media all too frequently present a false narrative regarding Judaism's holiest site.

From the Archives: On Tisha Be'Av, The Whole World Should Mourn, Not Just The Jews
 Abraham Lincoln’s Secretary of State, William H. Seward, visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem in 1871. He writes the following in his book, Travels Around the World:

For centuries (we do not know how many) the Turkish rulers have allowed the oppressed and exiled Jews the privilege of gathering at the foot of this wall one day in every week, and pouring out their lamentations over the fall of their beloved city, and praying for its restoration to the Lord, who promised, in giving its name, that he would ‘be there.’

The Jewish sabbath being on Saturday, and beginning at sunset on Friday, the weekly wail of the Jews under the wall takes place on Friday, and is a preparation for the rest and worship of the day which they are commanded to ‘keep holy.’ The small rectangular open plaza serves for the gathering of the whole remnant of the Jewish nation in Jerusalem. Here, whether it rains or shines, they come together at an early hour, old and young, men, women, and little children – the poor and the rich, in their best costumes, discordant as the diverse nations from which they come.

They are attended by their rabbis, each bringing the carefully-preserved and elaborately-bound text of the book of the Lamentations of Jeremiah, either in their respective languages, or in the original Hebrew. For many hours they pour forth their complaints, reading and reciting the poetic language of the prophet, beating their hands against the wall, and bathing the stones with their kisses and tears. It is no mere formal ceremony.

Jews mourn for the destruction of the Temples year-round, as Seward witnessed at the Western Wall in 1871.  But there is one day in the Jewish calendar – the ninth of the month of Av – in which mourning over the Temples is the exclusive focus of Jews worldwide.
 
On this Tisha Be'Av, let us all hope that we will experience peace among all nations and a world in which people of all beliefs can pray wherever and whenever they choose.
