Bias

85%

Examples:

  • Israel estimates about 10,000 Hamas fighters have been killed since October 7
  • The article uses language such as 'violent ones' which implies that all migrants are violent and dangerous.
  • Thirty-two of the 130 October 7 hostages are now believed to be dead

Conflicts of Interest

Examples:

  • Chen, 19, had been serving on the Gaza border on October 7
  • Israel estimates about 10,000 Hamas fighters have been killed since October 7
  • Thirty-two of the 130 October 7 hostages are now believed to be dead

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • During the attack, Palestinian militants seized about 250 hostages
  • Israel believes approximately 130 people remain in Gaza as captives
  • Itay Chen was killed on Oct. 7
  • The unprecedented October attack resulted in the deaths of around 1,160 people mostly civilians

Deceptions

85%

Examples:

  • Chen was killed in an IDF attack on Gaza, not held hostage

  • The headline states that four migrants were arrested and released but does not mention that they were charged with felonies for assault on police officers. This is a lie by omission.
