I listened to Linda Gradstein’s report on Israel’s attack in Occupied Gaza on Morning Edition today, and I also listened to the report on the same incident on the BBC Arabic Service.

NPR’s Linda Gradstein called the city of Hebron “a focus of violence,” but listed only incidents in which Israeli soldiers and settlers were victims. Gradstein ignored Israel’s continuous lethal attacks on Palestinians, and home demolitions in the city.

Hugh Sansom, an avid NPR listener, shared this letter with EI. Read more about NPR continues to misreport Israel's killing of UN official Iain Hook 

NPR loudly reported highly dubious, anonymous claims that Palestinian “extremists” linked to Al-Qaida had obtained a deadly nerve agent from Iraq.

EI’s Ali Abunimah explains. Read more about NPR confuses irresponsible speculation for hard news 

While NPR virtually ignored an Israeli death squad attack which killed six Palestinians, including two children, in the occupied West Bank town of Tulkarm, it has, as predicted, given blanket coverage to a suicide bombing which killed eleven Israelis in Jerusalem, writes EI’s Ali Abunimah Read more about NPR's unbalanced reporting of violence continues 

While NPR reported quickly and repeatedly false Israeli claims of an appalling ambush of “Jewish worshippers” in Hebron, and highly dubious accounts of an alleged 9/11-style “hijacking attempt” of an El Al jet, it has been completely silent this morning about the overnight killings of six Palestinians, two of them children, as an Israeli undercover death squad carried out the extrajudicial execution at his home of 25-year-old Mohammed Zaghal in the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarm. Read more about NPR ignores killing of six Palestinians, two children 

In the wake of the November 15th Islamic Jihad attack against Israeli soldiers and members of a settler paramilitary force, many members of the media reproduced Israel’s quickly debunked claims of a “massacre” of “worshippers”. CNN was one of them. EI’s Nigel Parry and Ali Abunimah wrote to the network. Read more about CNN's "Sabbath Massacre" propaganda
