Boston Globe Correction

In a Boston Globe podcast, historian Omer Bartov used a false translation of former Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant’s October 9, 2023 remarks to support his argument that Israel had genocidal intent. Bartov presented Gallant as saying Gazans “are human animals.” Gallant actually said: “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly”, referring to the Hamas terrorists Israel was fighting after October 7. CAMERA flagged the inaccurate translation to the Boston Globe. The Globe subsequently corrected the transcript and added Gallant’s verbatim quote. This is exactly why media accountability matters. When the allegation is genocide, getting the evidence right is not optional.
