The Forum Roundtable: Anti-Israel Bias in the Media

While the mainstream media’s coverage of all matters related to Israel has been consistently biased against the Jewish homeland for many years, the coverage since Hamas’ 10/7 invasion hasn’t even attempted to pretend to be neutral and honest in its reports on the war. The publication of photoshopped images and images from the Syrian civil war having nothing to do with Gaza, the presentation of statistics on civilian casualties provided by the Gazan Health Ministry as if fact rather than Hamas propoganda, and the lack of any investigative reporting on claims of Israel committed war crimes and genocide through famine has been so pervasive in news outlets across the world leading to severe damage to public opinion of Israel.

Joining us to discuss this very disturbing situation is Alex Traiman, CEO and Jerusalem bureau chief of the Jewish News Syndicate, Liel Leibovitz, editor-at large of Tablet Magazine and senior fellow at Hudson Institute, and Gil Hoffman, executive director of HonestReporting.com.
