CAMERA uses PMW findings in article about Washington Post:
PMW's material "provides the specificity that The Post lacks"



"Washington Post reporting on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) continues to omit key context and mislead readers. A Nov. 19, 2018 front-page dispatch, “U.S. cuts add to Palestinians’ misery,” adds to the paper’s poor coverage of the U.N. organization. The Post is unable, or perhaps unwilling, to offer straightforward reporting on the agency...

Another picture taken at the Bourj el-Barajneh refugee camp in Lebanon provides the specificity that The Post lacks. The image was originally posted on the official Facebook page of Fatah, the movement that dominates the Palestinian Authority (PA), on Jan. 19, 2017 and was subsequently
translated by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW). PMW noted: 'The picture shows Director of the Insan Center Abu Zuhdi at the Burj Al-Barajneh refugee camp in Beirut, Lebanon, giving Fatah officials a plaque of honor on which is the PA map of ‘Palestine’ that presents all of Israel as ‘Palestine’ together with the PA areas.'”
