Elder (and CAMERA-UK) gets results! Independent Arabia removes antisemitism from article

Last week, Gulf CSR screenshotI reported that Independent Arabia, the Arabic version of the British Independent, published an article with the headline "Jewish pressure groups and their influence on global decision-making." It included a large excerpt of a study by the Arab Gulf Center for Studies and Research, "The hidden Jewish empire and the plan to control the...

Google Maps calls second holiest Jewish spot by its usurped Muslim name

I looked up the Maarat HaMachpelah, Hebron's Cave of the Patriarchs in Google Maps. Here's what it found: Muslims have been usurping Jewish holy sites from the beginnings of Islam. But there is no reason for Google to go along with it. Let's them call it the Ibrahim Mosque in Arabic, but it is an insult to Jews to make that the default name. UPDATE...

Elder gets results! US will not attend Durban IV conference

Lahav Harkov of the Jerusalem Post asked the State Department whether the US will attend the Durban IV conference in September, which seemed a distinct possibility after the Biden administration mentioned the upcoming 20th anniversary of the antisemitic "UN World Conference Against Racism" in a joint statement led by the US at the UN Human Rights Council.The US will keep up...

Elder gets results! CNN changes offensive paragraph

Yesterday I tweeted and posted about an offensive paragraph in this CNN article: Since then, CNN changed the paragraph and added links: An estimated 6 million Jewish people were killed in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. Also killed were hundreds of thousands of Roma people and people with mental or physical disabilities. “Murdered” would be a...

Viacom/CBS fires Nick Cannon for antisemitism; will @FoxTV, @NBCUniversal and @Power106LA follow?

On Tuesday night, Viacom/CBS announced that they will terminate their relationship with Nick Cannon, whose antisemitic and racist comments were posted here on Sunday morning. ViacomCBS condemns bigotry of any kind and we categorically denounce all forms of anti-Semitism. We have spoken with Nick Cannon about an episode of his podcast ‘Cannon’s Class’ on YouTube, which promoted...

Elder (with others) gets results - Anti-Israel director films removed from Israel's high school lists

On Sunday, I noted (on a tip by WC) that a director and Oscar nominee Elia Suleiman said he wished to "drown Israel" but since he couldn't, his films are meant to accomplish the same "resistance" in a different way. Tomer Ilan noticed that the Israeli Education Ministry lists his films as "recommended" in the official high school curriculum for Cinema. This seems...

Elder gets results, sort of (Haaretz edition)

In September, Haaretz' Gideon Levy and Alex Levac wrote an article saying that Israel was uprooting "hundreds" of olive trees, right before harvest! Levac took a photo of one of them. Note the caption. Regavim told me the entire story was bogus, and the trees that were uprooted were acacia saligna (coojong.)The acacias are a pest plant, hat spread quickly, planted...

Elder gets results! (TruNews edition - and what's next)

From Algemeiner: The White House said on Tuesday that the white supremacist website TruNews was not credentialed to cover press events at the Executive Mansion — hours after two members of Congress sent a letter to President Donald Trump’s acting chief of staff urging him “to condemn the antisemitic comments by TruNews founder and host Rick Wiles and deny TruNews any future...

Elder gets results! (Mostly)

On Tuesday, I reported that the online and cable music station provider Stingray Music had been advertising a station called "Alternative Dance (W/O Israeli Station)". Although they didn't answer my initial query about this, when I published the post they responded back (to a blog aggregator tweeter): Hi, Thank you for bringing this technical glitch to our attention!...

Dictionary.com uses only hateful anti-Zionist sources for its entry on "Zionist" (UPDATE)

If you want to know what the word Zionist means, Dictionary.com will provide you with lots of examples to make you hate Zionists. A Zionist is a follower of Zionism, a movement that created and supports Israel as the official state for Jewish people in Palestine. The term can be a neutral, positive, or offensive term for a Jewish Israeli nationalist. Its basic definition...

Elder gets results, twice

Last week I broke the story of how National Geographic said that the Oslo Accords were meant for Israel to "return" land to Palestinians, even though no Palestinian entity or people ever had control of that land to begin with. Honest Reporting contacted them and the story was corrected. CAMERA contacted them and they issued a speedy correction: Also last week I also reported...

Elder gets results (with others), George Soros edition

Here's a case where social media works beautifully. On Sunday morning, I wrote an article about an antisemitic series published in an Egyptian paper that included Holocaust denial. I noted that the series was being republished by the Palestinian media outlet Wattan TV. The Tayara Herzl blog noticed my report and pointed out that Wattan TV was one of the Palestinian media...

Elder gets results, apparently (NYT scare quotes edition)

On Friday, I wrote about how the New York Times caved to Israel-haters like Glenn Greenwald, Salon magazine and later Mondoweiss who accused it of "pro-Israel bias" because it put the word "occupation" in scare quotes here: Two of the senator’s appointees to the party’s platform drafting committee, Cornel West and James Zogby, on Wednesday denounced Israel’s "occupation" of...

Elder gets results (I think)

On Friday, I wrote about a French medical advice site that erased Israel from the map and said that travel to Israel was less safe than Syria. EoZ readers wrote to the site to complain, and Alyssa Cohen Kaplan received this reply: There is no willingness on our part to take a position for or against anyone . Some of our country sheets certainly require revision . We have...

Elder gets results! US Visa site now includes Israel and its flag

Last month I noted that the official US visa website took pains not to mention the name "Israel", mentioning that they have offices in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem but without saying the name of the country those cities were in nor showing its flag. The information reached the State Department where they said that the site was outsourced to a private company and did not reflect...

State Department responds to EoZ expose of antisemitism on display at Saudi book fair that US backed

US Cultural Attaché David Edginton at the opening ceremony of Riyadh Book Fair Matt Lee of AP asked State Department spokesperson Mark Toner about the antisemitic booth at the Riyadh International Book Fair that I reported on Monday. The State Department was ready with some talking points and materials, meaning that either Matt had told them ahead of time that the...

After EoZ expose, NAD-PLO to replace map of Judah on webpage

In January, an EoZTV report showed that the Negotiations Affairs Department of the PLO has a map on its front webpage that shows something other than they might have intended. The page looks like this: The map there, which says "Palestine," is actually a 1915 map entitled "Palestine in the Time of Saul" and it shows the land of Israel under King Saul: Instead of...

Elder gets results! McGraw-Hill halts sales of textbook after EoZ expose

Yesterday I reported that a college textbook called "Global Politics: Engaging a Complex World" included the infamous "Map that Lies" propaganda poster as fact. Sharona Schwartz of The Blaze contacted the company: The McGraw-Hill Education book publisher said Wednesday that it would temporarily stop selling one of its college world politics textbooks so that it could review...

Elder (with your help) Gets Results! 2015 roundup

It is the end of the year and I am seeing lots of emails from professional pro-Israel sites listing their accomplishments for the year (and, of course, asking for money.) So I thought I'd look back and see how my reporting has made a difference this year (including things that some others take credit for!) Here are some ways that stories I broke ended up changing things...

Elder gets results - and @UNRWA teachers are angry that they cannot post incitement and Jew-hatred

We have seen UNRWA claim to be acting against incitement by its teachers on Facebook and other social media that I discovered and that was publicized by UN Watch. I did notice that it is more difficult to find antisemitic and terror-supporting posts by UNRWA teachers in the past week or so. Now I found an article that shows that UNRWA did indeed warn the teachers not...
