(Algemeiner) Chaim Lax - On July 9, 2022, the Israeli daily Ma'ariv reviewed the New York Times' coverage of Israel during the first half of 2022. It found that Israel received 832 mentions, far more than Turkey (619), Iran (518), Syria (498), Hamas (37), and Hizbullah (22). Of the 118 pieces written about Israel, 53% portrayed Israel in a negative light, 34% were neutral, and only 13% were positive. There were almost no negative articles about the Palestinians, Hamas, or Hizbullah. The review also noted 204 Israel-related stories that the Times did not mention at all, including 124 that were concerned with Palestinian terror, incitement, and violence against Israelis; 64 that dealt with Palestinian Authority and Hamas corruption and cruelty towards Palestinians; and six that focused on Israel's growing relations with neighboring Arab countries.
