Study: Financial Times Disproportionately Blames Israel

The FT is also accused of downplaying factors integral to the conflict such as terrorism and the political split between Hamas in Gaza and Fatah in the West Bank. Israeli political leaders are depicted as "irredentist," "hawkish" and "ultra-nationalist," while Palestinian leaders are portrayed as "moderate" and "conciliatory." "This report demonstrates that the FT has repeatedly disregarded salient facts when it comes to the Middle East and disproportionately blames Israel for the region's woes," said Robin Shepherd, director of international affairs at the Cambridge-based Henry Jackson Society.
