U.S. Military Planes Are in Haiti. Haitians Don’t Know Why. (foreignpolicy.com)

In the past several weeks, I have watched dozens of sleek U.S. military planes descend over Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where I live. They were the first flights to land since gangs blockaded and halted commercial air traffic in March. U.S. news reports suggest that the aircraft contained...

DolphinMath OP ,

Media coverage of the crisis there has been very biased and superficial.

Can you be more specific? Is there any particular coverage that you find biased and superficial?

I will admit that some outlets undoubtably cover this better than others, but that is the case in all conflicts.

Haha, I was wondering when someone was going to point that out. You’ll notice both MBFC and Ad Fontes were given that status primarily due to being Self-Published. However I wouldn’t consider MBFC or Ad Fontes to be the be-all and end-all perfectly authoritative source either.

DolphinMath ,

For those who don’t know, The Cradle is banned by Wikipedia as an unreliable source.

The Cradle is an online magazine focusing on West Asia/Middle East-related topics. It was deprecated in the 2024 RfC due to a history of publishing conspiracy theories and wide referencing of other deprecated sources while doing so. Editors consider The Cradle to have a poor reputation for fact-checking.

DolphinMath ,

I tend to side with Wikipedia in believing The Cradle unreliable in their news coverage, and wanted to pass it along.

They are are listed in the same category as the Anti Defamation League on the topic of Israel. Something that The Cradle chose to write about without disclosing their own status.

DolphinMath ,

The beauty of Wikipedia is they cite sources, keep edit history, and have a strong ethos of neutrality.

Smaller articles are more prone to being abused due to the sheer scale of Wikipedia, but are still subject to moderation if reported.

I don’t view Wikipedia articles as definitive, but generally I trust the community and don’t believe it has been overrun by right wing groups like NGO Monitor.

There is a consensus that NGO Monitor is not reliable for facts. Editors agree that, despite attempts to portray itself otherwise, it is an advocacy organization whose primary goal is to attack organizations that disagree with it or with the Israeli government regarding the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Some editors also express concern about past attempts by NGO Monitor staff to manipulate coverage of itself on Wikipedia

DolphinMath ,

You want to debate the specifics of an article from a source I find unreliable. I don’t want to. I wouldn’t want to if someone was posting something from Israel Hayom either.

DolphinMath , (edited )

I wish reporting like this would bother to define what they mean when they say children. Are we talking about 16 and 17 year olds, or are we talking about 7 and 8 year olds? They mention a single 7 year old who was released “hours later” after supposedly being arrested and “beaten on his hands” whatever that means exactly.

Also, if anyone has information on the primary source for the article, the Palestinian Prisoners Club, I’d be interested in learning more. From a quick search, Qadura Fares, a Fatah/PA politician is cited as the President/Head in several articles. The Wikipedia page redirects to this article, and this Facebook page comes up in a quick search. I didn’t find anything else of consequence unfortunately.

Edit: After a little more digging, looks like some articles refer to the same group as The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS). I believe this is their, currently down, official website. Their Instagram, Twitter/X

Wikipedia declares Anti-Defamation League 'unreliable' on Israel, antisemitism: Report (www.middleeasteye.net)

Wikipedia’s editors voted to declare the Anti-Defamation League “generally unreliable” on Israel and Palestine as well as the issue of antisemitism, adding the organisation to a list of banned sources, according to a report by the Jewish Telegraph Agency (JTA)....

DolphinMath ,

Primary source for those interested.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/…/Perennial_sources


Anti-Defamation League (ADL)(excluding the Israel/Palestine conflict)

There is consensus that outside of the topic of the Israel/Palestine conflict, the ADL is a generally reliable source, including for topics related to hate groups and extremism in the U.S. There is no consensus that ADL must be attributed in all cases, but there is consensus that the labelling of organisations and individuals by the ADL (particularly as antisemitic) should be attributed. Some editors consider the ADL’s opinion pieces not reliable, and that they should only be used with attribution. Note that the ADL’s reliability on antisemitism and the reliability of its database of hate symbols is currently being discussed.


Anti-Defamation League (ADL)(Israel/Palestine conflict)

There is consensus that the ADL is a generally unreliable source for the Israel/Palestine conflict, owing to occasional misinformation favoring the Israeli government with respect to the conflict.

From Wikipedia

Fox News[r] (news excluding politics and science)

Historically, there has been consensus that Fox News is generally reliable for news coverage on topics other than politics and science. However, many editors expressed concerns about the reliability of Fox News for any topic in a 2023 RFC. No formal consensus was reached on the matter, though.

If you read the WSJ article, it relies largely on interviews with Palestinians who were neighbors.

The author, Abeer Ayyoub, Is also a Palestinian from Gaza.

I’ll read the CNN article when I have a moment.

Edit: Had a moment and read the article. Best I can gather the CNN snippet you posted relies entirely on a Twitter/X post from the chairman of the Euro Med Monitor?

DolphinMath ,

I’d be happier if they push for lighter devices personally. Glass feels nice, but their Pro models can be obnoxiously heavy.

DolphinMath ,

Care to offer a source you find unbiased?

DolphinMath ,

Source on Israel funding Hamas?

My understanding is they allowed money to pass from Qatar to Hamas, but never directly funded them.

DolphinMath ,

So basically it’s what I said? Israel did not give money to Hamas, but did allow money to flow from the Qatari government to them.

The result may have been the same, but I think it’s fair to say Israel didn’t fund Hamas right?

DolphinMath ,

For what it’s worth, this is the only article I can find that says it was for burning “plantations.”

From NBC News

The official said that while the weapon was not sanctioned by military leadership, the troops were fulfilling a legitimate military task of burning away thick shrubbery along the border where Hezbollah fighters sometimes hide.

Or, if you prefer an outlet with a different perspective…

From Middle East Eye

Israeli media suggested that launching projectiles into Lebanon was aimed at exposing Hezbollah fighters using the dense foliage as cover in the area. It could also be in preparation for a ground invasion.

DolphinMath ,

Here is a direct link to the most recent survey for what it’s worth. I personally would be careful about reading too much into the numbers though.

I feel like this should have been the headline. Hopefully it turns into something real.

Do all of us think that though? There seems to be a diversity of thought about Hamas on Lemmy.

lemm.ee/comment/12467980

DolphinMath ,

Fair point.

DolphinMath OP ,

A news article from less than a week ago?

The first sentence being:

Hamas rejected the US-backed proposal to end the conflict in Gaza, saying Israel must commit to a permanent cease-fire and full withdrawal…

Seems “Zionists” aren’t the only obstacles to peace and the release of hostages.

DolphinMath OP , (edited )

The person I replied to wrote:

However we do not get these kind of accounts for the tens of thousands of Palestinians murdered by Israel.

I have listened to, read, and seen dozens if not hundreds of Palestinian stories going into great detail about their lives and suffering. The narrative that the media, and in particular Reuters, doesn’t cover Palestinian stories because they are unworthy victims is patently false. These articles are quick examples of this and I posted them to challenge the perception of some users on Lemmy (Lemmings?).

Reuters is not propaganda, that is abundantly clear.
