What we found (2)

The Jerusalem Post's Jenin tag page calls Palestinians killed or detained by Israeli occupation forces terrorists in its own voice, with the army's or the Shin Bet's word as the only basis. It also calls raids on Jenin and its refugee camp counterterrorism operations, though it uses the word raid itself elsewhere on the same page.

Labels people on one side's word
Serious
“Terrorist killed by IDF for attempted stabbing found to be father of 2022 Tel Aviv shooter The terrorist was Fathi Khazem”
Why this matters
The Jerusalem Post calls the man shot dead, Fathi Khazem, a terrorist twice in its own voice. It states the attempted stabbing as fact.
The impression it gives
A reader believes it is established that Fathi Khazem was a terrorist carrying out a stabbing when he was killed.
The context
The page gives no source for the stabbing claim and no evidence beyond the army's account. His son's 2022 attack is used to stand in for evidence about the father's own act. Nothing marks the claim as the army's or as unverified.
How we know
- Checked against the whole articleIt never uses the words “claimed” and “unverified”.
Show it in the article
“IDF kills terrorist father of 2022 shooter”
Why this matters
In a second headline the Post again names the dead man only as a terrorist and defines him by his son's attack.
The impression it gives
A reader takes the killing as the justified killing of a terrorist, with the label settled before any account of what happened.
The context
The only basis on the page is the army's version of an attempted stabbing. No witness, investigation or independent source is given.

“IDF kills Hamas-linked former senior Jenin terror cell member in West Bank vehicle strike”
Why this matters
The Post labels a man killed in an Israeli strike on a vehicle a Hamas-linked terror cell member, without attribution.
The impression it gives
A reader believes the man's role in a terror cell is an established fact that explains the strike.
The context
The label comes from the Israeli military, and the page offers nothing independent. The strike was an extrajudicial killing, and the label is the only justification the reader is given.
Show it in the article
“IDF arrests two terrorists”
Why this matters
The Post's headline calls two detainees terrorists in its own voice.
The impression it gives
A reader believes the two men arrested are proven terrorists.
The context
The blurb under the same headline says only that they were suspected by the Shin Bet. So the headline turns an intelligence agency's suspicion into a finding of fact. No charge or conviction is reported.
Show it in the article
“arrests West Bank terrorists”
Why this matters
The Post calls people arrested in the West Bank terrorists, with no names, charges or source.
The impression it gives
A reader believes everyone arrested was a terrorist.
The context
The page gives no charge, conviction or source for the label. It rests on the army's account of its own arrests.
How we know
- Checked against the whole articleIt never uses the words “charged”.

Serious
“during counterterrorism operation in Jenin”
Why this matters
The Post calls an armed incursion into a Jenin refugee camp a counterterrorism operation in its own voice.
The impression it gives
A reader believes the soldiers were on a defensive security task against terrorists, not raiding a refugee camp in occupied territory.
The context
The next sentence says forces were operating in a refugee camp in Jenin. That is a military raid in occupied territory the ICJ holds is unlawfully occupied, and the Post uses the word raid itself for a similar action.
How we know

“Duvdevan West Bank counterterror operation”
Why this matters
The Post names a sweep through 100 sites a counterterror operation, adopting the army's term.
The impression it gives
A reader believes the raids on 100 sites were targeted counterterrorism, not a mass incursion into Palestinian homes and towns.
The context
The same headline says the unit raided 100 sites and arrested two people. The label describes the army's stated purpose, not what happened.
How we know
- Elsewhere in the article“seize rifles, silencers, 2,300 rounds in West Bank raid”
Show it in the article
“joint IDF, Shin Bet counterterrorism ops. in West Bank”
Why this matters
The Post again uses the army's counterterrorism label for arrest raids in the West Bank.
The impression it gives
A reader believes the five arrests were counterterrorism by definition.
The context
The page gives no charges for the five arrested. The term is the occupying army's, and the occupied status of the West Bank appears nowhere on the page.
How we know
- Elsewhere in the article“in West Bank raid near Kalkilya”
