Masha Gabriel is the manager of CAMERA Español, the Spanish media team of the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis.

Spanish news reports routinely characterize Israeli officials with ideological pejoratives such as “far-right,” “ultra” or “extremist,” providing readers with an interpretive framework before the facts.
In the name of empathy, the media resigned themselves to lying because deceiving became the only way to tell their “truth.”
If Oct. 7 was marked by extreme violence, the next day saw this evil rationalized and fitted into ideological frameworks.
The Spanish government’s hostility towards Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, has been bolstered by local media outlets.
The foundations are being laid for the next anti-Israel propaganda campaign.
