What is the role of the media in the current rise in antisemitism?
Although there are serious attempts by Western media to make a balanced presentation of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, frequently unbalanced and even highly distorted images, descriptions and analysis are put forth as facts by the western media. To the great detriment of Israel, details are presented out of their wider context, often without verification. In the Arab media such distortions are the norm and are often accompanied by hateful propaganda and blatant lies. These skewed presentations help fan the flames of antisemitism.
