==History==
CAMERA has chapters in major US cities and Israel, including [[New York City]], [[Chicago]], [[Washington, D.C.]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Miami]], and in 1988 a [[Boston]] chapter and headquarters, founded and led by [[Andrea Levin]]; [[Charles Jacobs (political activist)|Charles Jacobs]] became deputy director of the Boston chapter.

In 1991, Levin succeeded [[Winifred Meiselman]] as executive director of CAMERA. According to the organization's website, CAMERA's membership grew from 1,000 in 1991 to 55,000 in 2007.<ref name="camera.org"/>  The director of the Washington office of CAMERA is [[Eric Rozenman]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jirs.org/jirs/jirs0051al.html |title=JIRS: CAMERA-Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America |access-date=August 11, 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929111605/http://www.jirs.org/jirs/jirs0051al.html |archive-date=September 29, 2007 }}</ref>

In 2002, ''[[The Jewish Daily Forward]]'' named CAMERA executive director and regular ''[[The Jerusalem Post|Jerusalem Post]]'' contributor Andrea Levin America's fifth most influential Jewish citizen, saying "Media-monitoring was the great proxy war of the last year, and its general is Andrea Levin."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sfbg.com/37/35/news_npr.html |title=Looking for a Guardian article? |work=San Francisco Bay Guardian|access-date=April 6, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pjalliance.org/article.aspx?ID=176&CID=20 |title=PJA: Progressive Jewish Alliance |access-date=May 22, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726092002/http://www.pjalliance.org/article.aspx?ID=176&CID=20 |archive-date=July 26, 2011 }}</ref>

In 2008 CAMERA launched a campaign to alter Wikipedia articles to support the Israeli side of the [[Israeli–Palestinian conflict]]. The campaign suggested that pro-Israeli editors should pretend to be interested in other topics until elected as administrators. Once administrators they were to misuse their administrative powers to suppress pro-Palestinian editors and support pro-Israel editors.<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://prospect.org/article/mideast-editing-wars|title=The Mideast Editing Wars|journal=The American Prospect|date=May 1, 2008}}</ref> Some members of this [[conspiracy (civil)|conspiracy]] were banned by Wikipedia administrators.<ref name="Guardian">{{cite news|first1=Rachel|last1=Shabi|first2=Jemima|last2=Kiss|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/aug/18/wikipedia-editing-zionist-groups|title=Wikipedia editing courses launched by Zionist groups|work=The Guardian|date=August 18, 2010}}</ref>

==Structure, staff, and activities==
On its official website, CAMERA describes itself as "a media-monitoring, research and membership organization devoted to promoting accurate and balanced coverage of Israel and the Middle East" which "fosters rigorous reporting, while educating news consumers about Middle East issues and the role of the media."  CAMERA further describes itself as a "non-partisan organization" which "takes no position with regard to American or Israeli political issues or with regard to ultimate solutions to the Arab–Israeli conflict."<ref>See [http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=24 "About CAMERA"] and [http://www.camera.org "Our Mission"] as featured on the official website.</ref> CAMERA complained in 2008 that the [[Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations]] (of which it is a member) did not consult it before disinviting [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] [[Vice President of the United States|vice presidential]] candidate [[Sarah Palin]] to an anti-[[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad|Ahmadinejad]] rally.<ref>{{cite web|author=Contact Editor Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu|url=http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/127760 |title=Anti-Palin Jews Shunned Anti-Iran Rally |publisher=Israel National News|date=September 25, 2008|access-date=April 6, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Perelman|first=Marc|url=http://www.forward.com/articles/14260/ |title=Sparks Fly Over Decision To Exclude Palin – The Forward |website=Forward.com |date=September 24, 2008 |access-date=April 6, 2017}}</ref> CAMERA has also criticized the Israeli non-governmental organization [[B'Tselem]] for some of its reporting on Israel.<ref>{{cite news|last=Gedalyahu|first=Tzvi Ben|url=http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/127759 |title=B'Tselem Tries to Steer United States to the Left |publisher=Israel National News|date=September 25, 2008|access-date=April 6, 2017}}</ref>

Among the organizations and works that have been criticized by CAMERA are:

===National Public Radio===
CAMERA's report, "A Record of Bias: National Public Radio's Coverage of the Arab–Israeli Conflict: September 26 – November 26, 2000" (2001) asserted that [[National Public Radio]]'s "coverage of the [[Arab–Israeli conflict]] has long been marred by a striking anti-Israel tilt, with severe bias, error and lack of balance commonplace."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=4&x_outlet=28&x_article=75 |title=A Record of Bias: National Public Radio's Coverage of the Arab-Israeli Conflict |website=Camera.org |access-date=April 6, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170331071752/http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=4&x_outlet=28&x_article=75 |archive-date=March 31, 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref> CAMERA supported a [[boycott]] of NPR, and demanded the firing of NPR's foreign editor, [[Loren Jenkins]]. CAMERA said that Jenkins had a long record of partisanship in favor of Palestinian views, and let his personal views tilt NPR's coverage. CAMERA also said Jenkins  compared Israel to Nazi Germany in his writings, and referred to it as a "colonizer".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.why-war.com/news/2002/05/25/proisrae.html |title=Why War? |website=Why-war.com |access-date=April 6, 2017}}</ref><ref>Andrea Levin. Just Say No to NPR. ''The Jerusalem Post'', September 27, 2002.</ref>

NPR's then-Ombudsman, [[Jeffrey Dvorkin]], said in a 2002 interview that CAMERA used selective citations and subjective definitions of what it considers pro-Palestinian bias in formulating its findings, and that he felt CAMERA's campaign was "a kind of [[McCarthyism]], frankly, that bashes us and causes people to question our commitment to doing this story fairly. And it exacerbates the legitimate anxieties of many in the Jewish community about the survival of Israel."<ref>Camille T. Taiara.

===Mearsheimer and Walt===
CAMERA published [[Alex Safian]]'s detailed critique of ''[[The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy]]'', a paper written by [[Harvard University]] professor [[Stephen Walt]] and [[University of Chicago]] professor [[John Mearsheimer]]. Safian argued that the paper is "riddled with errors of fact, logic and omission, has inaccurate citations, displays extremely poor judgement regarding sources, and, contrary to basic scholarly standards, ignores previous serious work on the subject. The bottom line: virtually every word and argument is, or ought to be, in 'serious dispute.' In other words, a student who submitted such a paper would flunk."<ref>Alex Safian, [http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=7&x_issue=35&x_article=1099 "Study Decrying 'Israel Lobby' Marred by Numerous Errors"] ("Updated April 6: Rebutting charges of expulsion and massacre"), ''CAMERA'' March 20, 2006, accessed March 24, 2006.

==="Israel's Jewish Defamers"===
In October 2007, CAMERA organized a conference entitled "Israel's Jewish Defamers," in which a panel of discussants accused Jewish critics of Israel, as well as one of Israel's leading newspapers, ''[[Haaretz]]'', of distortions and falsehoods about Israel. CAMERA director Andrea Levin described the Jewish critics—who included [[Richard A. Falk|Richard Falk]] of [[Princeton University]], writer [[Norman Finkelstein]], ''[[New York Review of Books]]'' contributor [[Henry Siegman]], former ''New York Times'' columnist [[Anthony Lewis]], [[Trent University]] professor [[Michael Neumann]], and ''[[Tikkun (magazine)|Tikkun]]'' magazine publisher [[Michael Lerner (rabbi)|Michael Lerner]]—of being guilty of "demonstrably false and baseless defaming of Israel, wildly distorted out of context accusations against Israel." Among the panelists were writer [[Cynthia Ozick]] and Harvard psychiatrist [[Kenneth Levin]], who likened the Jewish critics to chronically abused children.

In response, Anthony Lewis told the ''New York Sun'' that the conference was "about a nonexistent phenomenon," noting that Jewish criticism of Israeli policies was not necessarily defamatory. ''Haaretz''{{'}}s editor-in-chief, [[David Landau (journalist)|David Landau]], refused to comment on the conference, citing that "it was "a matter of policy and principle" not to respond to CAMERA, which Landau described as "McCarthyite." ''Tikkun'' editor Lerner also rejected the notion that he was anti-Israel.<ref>Elliot Resnick.

In response to coverage of the 2008–2009 [[Gaza War (2008–09)|Gaza War]], CAMERA criticized the reporting of the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'',<ref name=LATObscure>{{cite web|last=Sternthal |first=Tamar |url=http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=2&x_outlet=33&x_article=1578 |title=At LA Times, Obscured Targets |publisher=CAMERA |access-date=April 6, 2017}}</ref> [[CNN]],<ref>{{cite web|last=Safian |first=Alex |url=http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=3&x_outlet=14&x_article=1577 |title=Who Broke the Ceasefire?

===Quotation misattributed to Moshe Ya'alon===
In early 2009, CAMERA began investigating the dissemination of [[False Moshe Ya'alon quotation|a quotation]] widely misattributed to [[Moshe Ya'alon]], "The Palestinians must be made to understand in the deepest recesses of their consciousness that they are a defeated people", after the quotation was cited by [[Rashid Khalidi]], a [[Columbia University]] professor, in an [[op-ed]] article in ''[[The New York Times]]''.<ref name=ts /> The quotation, and variants, had previously been repeated throughout the world by news broadcasts, blogs, and in reputable publications such as the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'', ''[[The Boston Globe|Boston Globe]]'', ''[[Toronto Star]]'', ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'', and the ''[[London Review of Books]]''. The belief that Ya'alon, a high-ranking Israeli military official, had expressed disregard for Palestinian people in this manner reinforced an opinion among some readers and commentators that Israel was the aggressor and Palestinians its victims.<ref name=ts/> However, Ya'alon did not make the statement in the 2002 ''Haaretz'' interview generally cited as its source, and appears never to have made the statement at all. In part due to CAMERA's campaign, a number of international newspapers, including the ''New York Times'', issued [[correction (newspaper)|corrections]].<ref name=ts>{{cite news|work=Toronto Star|date=August 8, 2009|title=Damaging Israeli misquote finally corrected: Record set straight seven years after Israel's top soldier was accused of trashing Palestinians |author=[[Oakland Ross]]|url=https://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/678245}}</ref>

In a 2012 monograph of its study of ''The New York Times'', CAMERA asserted that the newspaper shows a clear preference for the Palestinian narrative.

===Journalists===
* Writing in ''[[The Nation]]'' in 1987, journalist and author Robert I. Friedman described CAMERA as having been formed in the wake of [[1982 Lebanon War|Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon]] "to keep the U.S. press in line," observing that the organization's activities at the time included publishing a newsletter and placing advertisements in ''[[The Christian Science Monitor]]'' and ''[[The New Republic]]'' in support of Israel's [[West Bank]] [[Israeli settlement|settlement]] policies.<ref name="Friedman"/>  According to Friedman, "CAMERA, the A.D.L., AIPAC and the rest of the lobby don't want fairness, but bias in their favor. And they are prepared to use McCarthyite tactics, as well as the power and money of pro-Israel PACs, to get whatever Israel wants."<ref name="Friedman"/>
* In his 2006 book ''Public Editor #1'', former ''New York Times'' public editor [[Daniel Okrent]] expressed gratitude to CAMERA as a notable example of organizations that "maintained an evenness of tone and an openness of communication no matter how much they disagreed" with his columns.<ref name="Okrent">Daniel Okrent, ''Public Editor #1'', pp. 20–21.</ref>
* Writing about criticisms from CAMERA he and his colleagues have received, Jerusalem-based journalist Gershom Gorenberg wrote "It is not the press's job to provide [[Public Relations|PR]] for any government. Until CAMERA gets this straight, self-respecting journalists will regard an occasional snarl from the watchdog as proof that they're doing their job."<ref>Gershom Gorenberg.

* [[Ian Mayes]], president of the Organisation of News Ombudsmen in Britain, wrote in 2006 that to him, methods employed by CAMERA seemed to go beyond reasonable calls for accountability. He mentioned CAMERA's campaign against the Middle East reporting of [[National Public Radio]], in which he says CAMERA had attempted to influence NPR's supporters to withhold funds.<ref name=Guardian1 />
* [[Jonathan Cook]] lists CAMERA among "Zionist watchdogs" that "created what the late [[Edward Said]] called 'the last taboo in American public life', moving rapidly to shut down any signs of critical debate about Israeli policies or US support for such policies either in the American media or in Washington's corridors of power".<ref>{{cite book|last1=Cook|first1=Jonathan|title=Disappearing Palestine : Israel's Experiments in Human Despair|url=https://archive.org/details/disappearingpale00cook|url-access=limited|date=2008|publisher=Zed Books|location=London|isbn=978-1848130319|chapter=Introduction|page=[https://archive.org/details/disappearingpale00cook/page/n13 3]}}</ref>

===''The Atlanta Journal-Constitution''===
''[[The Atlanta Journal-Constitution]]'' described the place CAMERA took in a debate among various Jewish groups about statements made by former U.S. President [[Jimmy Carter]]. Rabbi [[Marvin Hier]], founder of the [[Simon Wiesenthal Center]], said it was not right to outright dismiss his apology. CAMERA said true repentance required Carter to reverse any of the perceived harm he caused, and called on the president to take "concrete actions to redress troubling false statements" the group said he made about the war Israel waged in Gaza. [[Ira Forman]], chief executive of the Washington-based [[National Jewish Democratic Council]], said it was "''[[mensch]]''-like" to accept and encourage Carter's remarks.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/jewish-advocacy-group-questions-255734.html |title=Jewish advocacy group questions Carter's apology &#124; ajc.com |access-date=January 6, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091231053911/http://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/jewish-advocacy-group-questions-255734.html |archive-date=December 31, 2009 }}</ref>

===Academia===
In 1986, [[Florida International University]] [[political science]] professor [[Cheryl A. Rubenberg]] noted CAMERA was "Another pro-Israeli organization that was formed after 1982 to monitor the media..."<ref>Cheryl A. Rubenberg: ''Israel and the American National Interest: A Critical Examination'', University of Illinois Press, 1986. {{ISBN|0-252-06074-1}}, p. 339.<blockquote>
Another pro-Israeli organization that was formed after 1982 to monitor the media is the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting (CAMERA).
</blockquote></ref>  She further stated that CAMERA was one of several 'new groups' which constituted the [[Israel lobby in the United States|"Israeli lobby"]] at the time.<ref>Rubenberg, pp. 353–54,
<blockquote>
The term "Israeli lobby" loosely refers to the approximately thirty-eight major Jewish groups that concern themselves with Israel and with influencing US Middle East policy to serve the interests of the Jewish state.  (Since the 1982 war in Lebanon, there has been a proliferation of new groups, in addition to the thirty-eight, such as [[Americans for a Safe Israel|ASFI]], CAMERA, and others.)  </blockquote></ref>

In 1988, [[Edward Said]], a political activist and Professor of English and Comparative Literature at [[Columbia University]], argued that not even the [[Israeli government]] has ventured arguments as extreme as CAMERA, and that "surely, the Israeli lobby can find better propaganda methods than this!"<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1988/02/05/opinion/l-how-great-were-the-injustices-of-arabs-to-jews-pacification-of-gaza-160288.html |title=How Great Were the Injustices of Arabs to Jews - 'Pacification' of Gaza - NYTimes.com |location=Gaza Strip; Israel, State Of |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=February 5, 1988 |access-date=April 6, 2017}}</ref>

==CAMERA campaign at Wikipedia==
In an April 2008 article, online publication ''[[The Electronic Intifada]]'' reported on the existence of a [[Google group]] set up by CAMERA.

Excerpts of some of the e-mails were published in the July 2008 issue of ''[[Harper's Magazine]]'' under the title of "Candid camera."<ref name=Harpers>{{cite magazine|url=http://harpers.org/archive/2008/07/0082086/|title=Candid camera|magazine=[[Harper's Magazine]]|date=July 2008}}</ref> In April 2008, CAMERA's "Senior Research Analyst" Gilead Ini would not confirm that the messages were genuine but maintained that there was a CAMERA email campaign which adhered to Wikipedia's rules.<ref name=Register>{{cite web|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/29/wikipedia_blocked_doj_ip/|title=US Department of Justice banned from Wikipedia|work=[[The Register]]|access-date=May 9, 2008|date=April 29, 2008|last=Metz|first=Cade}}</ref> In August 2008, Ini argued the excerpts published in ''Harper's Magazine'' were unrepresentative and that CAMERA had campaigned "toward encouraging people to learn about and edit the online encyclopedia for accuracy".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=2&x_outlet=32&x_article=1525 |title=Letter in Harper's Magazine About Wikipedia Issues |website=Camera.org |date=August 14, 2008 |access-date=April 6, 2017}}</ref>

A group of Wikipedia administrators strongly believed an editor on Wikipedia to be Gilead Ini and blocked that user account indefinitely.<ref name=JewishWeek /> In April 2008, Gilead refused to say whether he was behind the Gni account,<ref name=Register /> and in mid-May 2008 he denied that the account belonged to him, by which time he had deleted the Google group.<ref name=JewishWeek /> Andre Oboler alleged that groups such as "Wikipedians for Palestine", established in January 2006 and by then also no longer online, had engaged in similar practices.<ref name=JewishWeek>{{cite news |last=Snyder |first=Tamar |url=http://www.thejewishweek.com/news/international/latest_front_mideast_wars_wikipedia |title=Latest Front In Mideast Wars: Wikipedia |work=[[Jewish Week]] |date=May 14, 2008 |access-date=October 27, 2021 |archive-date=August 3, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160803214944/http://www.thejewishweek.com/news/international/latest_front_mideast_wars_wikipedia |url-status=dead }}</ref> ''Electronic Intifada'' co-founder [[Ali Abunimah]] insisted that his group would never encourage a similar e-mail campaign.<ref name="NYT20080506">{{cite news |last=Beam |first=Alex |date=May 6, 2008 |title=War of the virtual Wiki-worlds |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/06/opinion/06iht-edbeam.1.12610693.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210823084911/https://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/06/opinion/06iht-edbeam.1.12610693.html |archive-date=August 23, 2021 |access-date=May 4, 2008 |work=[[The New York Times]] |quote=In what was probably not a very smart idea, Gilead Ini, a senior research analyst for Camera, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America, put out an e-mail call for 10 volunteers "to help us keep Israel-related entries on Wikipedia from becoming tainted by anti-Israel editors." (Basically, anyone with a Web browser can edit articles on Wikipedia, which wreaks havoc with the site's treatment of controversial topics like ... the Middle East.) More than 50 sympathizers answered the call, and Ini put his campaign into motion.<br />In follow-up e-mails to his recruits, Ini emphasized the secrecy of the campaign: "There is no need to advertise the fact that we have these group discussions," he wrote. "Anti-Israel editors will seize on anything to try to discredit people who attempt to challenge their problematic assertions, and will be all too happy to pretend, and announce, that a 'Zionist' cabal . . . is trying to hijack Wikipedia."<br />That is certainly what the campaign looked like to the Electronic Intifada, a parallel-universe, pro-Palestinian news organization operating out of Chicago. Someone leaked four weeks' worth of communications from within Ini's organization, and the quotes weren't pretty. Describing the Wiki-campaign, a member of Ini's corps writes: "We will go to war after we have built an army, equiped [sic] it, trained." There is also some back-and-forth about the need to become Wikipedia administrators, to better influence the encyclopedia's articles. |agency=The International Herald Tribune}}</ref>

Commenting on the incident, Gershom Gorenberg, of the liberal magazine ''[[The American Prospect]]'', stated "CAMERA is ready to exempt itself from the demands for accuracy that it aims at the media. And like others engaged in the narrative wars, it does not understand the difference between advocacy and accuracy." Gorenberg criticized CAMERA for telling members not to share information about the campaign with media, and he also argued Ini's definition of accuracy "only means not printing anything embarrassing to his own side".<ref name=Gershom>Gorenberg, Gershom.
