CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR'S DUBIOUS, AND LIKELY FABRICATED, POLLING DATA

[Mosby]

In yet another display of Christiane Amanpour’s prioritization of her disdain for Israel over journalistic integrity, the CNN anchor appears to have fabricated poll results to falsely suggest that the Palestinian side supports the two-state solution with Israel.

The comments came during her interview with former Israeli ambassador Yael German on February 14, 2023. Toward the end of the interview, Amanpour asked Ambassador German: “I want to know from you, as a diplomat, is there any hope for anything resembling negotiations on a two-state solution, given that the settlements and the settlement-believers are emboldened by now their backers who are in government?”

Ambassador German answered by pointing out the unwillingness of Palestinian leaders to agree to repeated offers of statehood and to live side by side with Israel. She also argued that the Palestinian people generally refuse to accept the existence of a Jewish state.

Amanpour responded first by downplaying the extent of Palestinian rejectionism of the Jewish state, saying only “some people” believe that, and then, without providing any specific source, claimed: “The latest polls from the Palestinian side also show that they want a peaceful, two-state solution to co-exist with you.”

It’s unclear what “latest polls” Amanpour might be referring to, given that every major recent poll from the Palestinian side shows exactly the opposite.

1. I imagine any supposed poll like this is questionable just for the fact that there are too many

fractions among them

2. Amanpour

She may well be anti-Zionist, even anti-Israel, but I doubt she’s antisemite as she’s been married to a Jewish man for 25 years.

3. Any Criticism Of Israel Usually Results in an Accusation of Being Antisemitic

There's much to dislike about Bibi and his policies and politics. I think the fear of being called an antisemite prevents journalists and others from speaking more forcefully about the shortcomings.

4. Too true

If you have the patience to watch it this is a video of Shulamit Aloni

She has been dead for years .
