A CNN Money article on the Middle East dropped Israel’s name from a map of the Middle East that accompanied a story on the turmoil in the region, The Jerusalem Post reported.
The article, entitled “Beyond ISIS: 2016’s scariest geopolitical hot spots,” naturally featured the ongoing war in Syria and the image that originally accompanied the article was a map of the Middle East. But the name Palestina, Spanish or Portuguese for Palestine stood in for Israel on the map.
The case was first reported by media watchdog Honest Reporting, whose managing editor, Simon Plosker, said, “At a time when the state’s very legitimacy is being called into question by vicious anti-Israel extremists, any message that Israel does not belong in the Middle East plays into this false narrative and feeds those like the Iranian ayatollahs who wish to see Israel erased from the map.”
According to Honest Reporting, CNN has since removed the map in question and replaced it with an image of the aftermath of a Syrian airstrike in Aleppo.
Readers responded with anger to the piece’s original photo that did not feature the name of the Jewish state, The Jerusalem Post reported.
“Please replace the article’s main image with one of an accurate Middle East map: including Israel,” one reader said.
“Why is my country erased on this map?” another reader asked.
The map incident is not CNN’s first run in with Israel, according to YNet. Veteran CNN anchor Jim Clancy was forced to resign in January of this year after a series of anti-Israel tweets.
“How many times can CNN keep making these shoddy errors before the network takes remedial action to address its Israel problem?” Plosker said.
These people are brainwashed idiots they are blinded
Bottom line, Israel is Israel. But u can call it palestina but people just might not know what ur talking abt.
CNN is an anti-Semetic and pro-palestinian news site.
this should not surprise anyone
that is why they are called continuous nazi news
just so everyone knows…
the current president and ceo of cnn is jeff zucker.
hes a jew from miami.
i wonder how cnn is so antisemetic being that not only is the ceo jewish but also many other higher ups in cnn are jewish too.
this applies to the media in general. strange…
our ONLY strength is G-d. Learn Torah do Mitzvois try your best and leave the rest up to G-d. Jews have no friends in this world.
Stop watching it! Demand an apology!
.fitting.
The Israeli leadership isn’t proud of being Jews: no kippa, no tzitzit. Ner Barakat, Mayor of Jerusalem recently entertained two American media ‘darlings’ in a treif restaurant that was open Shabbat….etc…etc.
Honestreporting has done an excellent job to help people start campaigns of writing letters of protest and more. Everyone should pass around that website
