CAMERA’s Andrea Levin: Essential To Redouble Efforts
In an interview with Times of Israel, Andrea Levin, CAMERA’s Executive Director, emphasizes how critical it is for Israel’s supporters to advocate for accurate news media coverage, especially now:
From the perspective of CAMERA executive director Andrea Levin, Israel supporters should “actually redouble our work in the information battle,” she said.
“Israel’s adversaries aren’t resting a moment from their efforts to mislead the public and defame the Jewish state,” said Levin, whose group frequently blows the whistle on distorted coverage in news agencies including The New York Times and BBC.
“The many voices speaking out on the facts are an invaluable asset in correcting the record continuously and making clear, for instance, that Israel is defending its civilian population in the face of an aggressor that exploits its own women and children as defensive shields,” said Levin.
