Why has Jew-hatred, antisemitism, and animosity toward Israel exploded around the world?
A significant part of the blame lies with the mainstream media, according to a new book, “The Media’s War Against Israel: A Critique of the Israel-Hamas War News Coverage,” by veteran Detroit journalist and author Berl Falbaum.
The book examines, among many other issues:
• The distortions in the reporting of death toll numbers in Gaza.
• Accusations of genocide, a blood libel, against Israel.
• The sensationalism of TV coverage which focused entirely on the suffering of Palestinians in nightly news programs and blaming Israel while hardly mentioning Hamas.
• Overlooking and disregarding humanitarian disasters around the world much worse than Gaza. For instance, during the present three-year Sudan civil war, in the city of El Fasher, a militia slaughtered 60,000 in just a few weeks, human rights organizations reported.
“The news coverage of the war has been unconscionable,” said Falbaum. “It will take decades to repair the damage, if it can be done at all.”
Falbaum was a political reporter for The Detroit News; has been a columnist and contributor of political commentary for several Detroit area newspapers for decades. At the time of this book’s publication, he was a political columnist for eight papers in Michigan published by The Detroit Legal News.
He was an adjunct journalism instructor at Detroit’s Wayne State University for 45 years and for 15 years at Oakland University in Rochester. He is the author of 13 previous books and a play which dealt with journalism ethics.
Softcover and e-books are available at Amazon.com. Softcover books may also be ordered by sending an email to bpfalbaum@yahoo.com.
All proceeds from the book will be donated to an organization that assists noncombatants in war zones, especially women and children, including in Israel and Gaza. The donations will be made anonymously to insulate the organization from any political backlash.
