abstract
| - Tom Gross is a British-born journalist and international affairs commentator, specializing in the Middle East . He was formerly Jerusalem correspondent for the London Sunday Telegraph and for the New York Daily News. He is a contributor to The Wall Street Journal and National Review in the United States, and has also written in Britain for The Daily Telegraph, Spectator, Evening Standard and The Guardian, among other publications. His work has appeared in Israel in Ha’aretz, Ma’ariv and The Jerusalem Post, and in Canada in The National Post. Much of his work has concerned the way the international media covers the Middle East. His article “The Forgotten Rachels”, in regards to Rachel Corrie, caused an international stir. He has been sharply critical of the BBC, arguing that their Middle East coverage is strongly slanted against Israel. In addition, he has subjected the coverage of Reuters and CNN to scrutiny. He has also been strongly critical of The New York Times, both for their general foreign coverage, and historically for what he terms their “lamentable record of not covering the Holocaust.” “The Times,” wrote Gross, “possibly because they feared people might (wrongly) think of it a as ‘Jewish’ paper, made sure reports were brief and buried inside the paper. During the war, no article about the Jews’ plight ever qualified as the Times’ leading story of the day.”
