Benjamin Netanyahu:
"Fillet facts?"

• "Superficiality suits him
. . . He's always just a bit tok
pressed for time to allow any
subject to be probed too deep-
ly."

Is he "Pinocchio?" A 'slick
salesman?" "Excellent" at
manipulating facts?
"Compassionless" toward
Palestinians?
Although these quotes
came from people Geraldine
Brooks interviewed for a GQ
prbfile on Israeli deputy
minister Benjamin
Netanyahu.
In her own comments Ms.
Brooks says:
• "Netanyahu isn't ab-
solutely pristine with the
facts. He fillets them, leav-
ing behind statements that
are accurate but stripped of
their inner truth."

pro-Israel press watchdog
group, wages a battle every
day for the "hearts and
minds" of the American
media.
CAMERA, says Michael
Hoffman, its Washington
representative, has an
"uphill battle," especially
since the press has a "habit
of accepting statistics and
statements by Palestinian or
Arab officials [regarding
Israeli culpability for Pales-
tinian deaths] without try-
ing to verify their truth."
Albert Mokhiber, presi-
dent of the American-Arab
Anti-Discrimination Com-
mittee, said the "tilt that
was so heavily in favor of
Israel has finally come back
to the neutral ground. As a
result, it looks like things
are biased toward the Arabs,
when we're just hoping to
reach a neutral point."
Mr. Hoffman tagged ABC
anchor Peter Jennings the
nation's most biased broad-
caster: "Jennings doesn't
even seem to care that he's
not making an attempt at
being fair and impartial."
By recently calling Gaza
and the West Bank "Arab
occupied land," said Mr.
Hoffman, Mr. Jennings
"settles the argument even
before anybody's
negotiated."

An ABC News producer
called CAMERA's charges
"ludicrous," recalling that
Mr. Jennings had earned "a'
reputation for fairness and
accuracy among all sides in
the Middle East argument' L
during the seven years he
headed ABC's Beirut bu-
reau.
"Peter," said the producer,
"just reports what happens
— and sometimes one side or
the other doesn't want tc;21
hear that." El
