Dear West Australian newspaper
Your unattributed article about the Bibas family funeral in today’s paper contained important terminology errors and lacked the full context of this incident, one of the most horrific acts of barbarity that has become a focal point of Israel’s mourning and of the entire Jewish world.
I hope you don’t mind, but I have fixed it for you.
Whilst the West Australian writes many editorials condemning anti-Semitism and gives both factual and well contextualised coverage to events in Israel, it is nonetheless concerning that biased reporting, sourced from syndicated news agencies that propagate an anti-Israel narrative continue to be published. The flow on effect is that readers do not get context or understanding and turn against Israel in its existential predicament. Media bias is one of the biggest causes of anti-Semitism.
