The Security Council’s ceasefire resolution has offered “little hope” in Gaza as Israel’s genocidal attack continues to rage. “We believe the reality around us, not the Security Council,” Huda Amer, a Palestinian journalist in Gaza, tells Mondoweiss.

    Take a look at Times of Israel in MBFC

    Amongst other things it says:

    Bias Rating: LEFT-CENTER
    Factual Reporting: HIGH
    Country: Israel
    MBFC’s Country Freedom Rank: MODERATE FREEDOM
    Media Type: Website
    Traffic/Popularity: High Traffic
    MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY

    When covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, they usually are objective and cover both sides fairly, such as this: IDF strikes fresh Hamas targets after 2nd rocket fired from Gaza Strip. However, during the conflict of 2023, they were less objective, focusing on the objectives of the Israeli military. In general, the Times of Israel is factual with a slight left-leaning editorial bias.

    This is not a joke, just check it out.

      I’m not familiar but I just went and looked over their front page, and all I can say is wow. My favorite story was: “Why we must embrace the UN ceasefire resolution: Ramadan will be over before we know it, and we can use the time to regroup, train, and buy some international good-will along the way.”

      Country: Israel MBFC’s Country Freedom Rank: MODERATE FREEDOM

      This is incredibly notable, too. Saying Israel has “moderate freedom” is like saying apartheid South Africa had moderate freedom, with quite literally the 100% exact same little invisible asterisk after the statement.
