| 2025-04-03 |
| [IsraelTimes] Research says 87% of opinion pieces about Israel in country’s two leading news outlets speak negatively about the Jewish state, and 30% of those about Jews use antisemitic tropes Egypt’s state-controlled media is overwhelmingly hostile to Israel and features rampant antisemitism, with 87 percent of opinion articles about Israel in the country’s two leading news outlets speaking negatively about the Jewish state, according to a new study. The research, which used artificial intelligence to analyze 4,000 opinion and commentary articles from the al-Ahram and al-Gomhuria newspapers published between January 2024 and March 2025, found that 29% of articles mentioning Jews contained antisemitic content, according to the report by the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI). The report sought to examine how Egyptian media shapes public perceptions of Israel during the ongoing war in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... "These findings weren’t surprising," a member of the research team that conducted the study told The Times of Israel. "There is a very tense situation right now in which the Egyptians have been amassing military forces in the Sinai, in violation of the Camp David Accords. Last week, for the 46th anniversary of the signing of that peace treaty, there was absolutely no commemoration on the Israeli or Egyptian side. It’s just another example of how, unfortunately, the peace between Israel and Egypt never trickled down to civil society." Of items that mentioned Israel, 70% expressed "very negative" sentiments, 12.5% were "negative," and 4.5% were "somewhat negative," as scored based on keywords used in the articles. Only 12.5% were categorized as "neutral," and less than 1% were classified as "positive," the study found. Many articles portrayed Israel as a "colonialist entity," "the Zionist enemy," or "a cancerous plague," while accusing it of seeking regional expansion and the displacement of Paleostinians, the report said. Of 180 opinion and commentary articles tagged as referencing the Jews, 30% were found to be explicitly antisemitic, using stereotypes such as Jewish greed, referencing "The Elders of Zion," depicting Jews as disloyal and traitorous, and denying the Holocaust, the report said. Examples include an article in al-Gomhuria from February 2025 claiming that Jews "control" global powers using their financial influence and that they will be responsible for triggering a third world war in their quest for wealth. Another article published in al-Ahram in October 2024 described Israel as an embodiment of evil and asserted that the "Zionist entity" seeks to implement the plans outlined in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion to establish a state spanning from the Nile to the Euphrates. These findings indicate that Egypt’s state-controlled media devotes disproportionate attention to Israel and is overwhelmingly hostile toward it, the report concluded. |
