CAMERA’s MISSION: Erase witnesses in every language, now Hebrew media too
#CAMERA just announced they’re expanding their censorship operation across Hebrew, English, Spanish, and Arabic media to work in “full cooperation” fighting “media bias against Israel” and shaping “global public opinion regarding Israel.”
This is the same organization caught in 2008 coordinating efforts to “infiltrate” #Wikipedia to “rewrite Palestinian history,” with members told to “stay away from any Israel related articles” until gaining administrator privileges. “We will go to war after we have build our army,” one organizer wrote.
Journalist Jonathan Cook lists CAMERA among “Zionist watchdogs” that “created what the late Edward Said called ‘the last taboo in American public life’, moving rapidly to shut down any signs of critical debate about Israeli policies.”
Robert I. Friedman wrote in The Nation that CAMERA was formed after Israel’s 1982 Lebanon invasion “to keep the U.S. press in line” using “McCarthyite tactics.”
Their stated strategy: monitor and “correct distortions” in Israeli media “that negatively affect international coverage,” train thousands of students fighting “anti-Israel bias in academia,” and run programs combating “anti-Israelism in American school curricula.
They’ve targeted everyone from prominent Israeli journalists at Ha’aretz to historian Benny Morris (called a “fabricator” - who only later came out as a rabid #Islamophobe and Jewish supremacist), and even pressured university libraries to remove books they find “offensive.”
CAMERA was created to claim victimhood while erasing witnesses to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The infrastructure built to suppress Gaza coverage will be used against anyone who threatens to expose #Israel.
