A Baltimore Sun Op-Ed, using Israel’s “Pillar of Defense” operation against Hamas as news peg, blamed Israel for a host of Middle East ills. CAMERA’s letter to the editor “Criticism of Israel ignores the facts” set the record straight.

To counter these threats, the IDF has introduced Related posts: Virtual Reality – The IDF Ground Forces Battle Lab Discover the IDF’s Future […]

Everything about CNN’s claim that soccer star Didier Drogba joined 61 other players to protest the killing of Gaza teens playing soccer is false. Drogba signed nothing, there were fewer than 62 signatories to the petition, and Israel didn’t kill 4 people playing soccer. UPDATE: CNN has corrected.
