CBS’s “60 Minutes” has crossed the line from journalism to propaganda with its recent segment criticizing U.S. support for Israel’s fight against Hamas.
By amplifying anti-Israel activists with ties to organizations like CAIR and DAWN while ignoring critical context about the atrocities committed by Hamas, “60 Minutes” has perpetuated a dangerously skewed narrative that demonizes Israel and emboldens antisemitism.

The segment featured former State Department officials Josh Paul and Hala Rharrit, presenting them as impartial dissenters while concealing their longstanding activism against Israel. Paul’s association with DAWN, an anti-Israel NGO, and Rharrit’s fundraising for CAIR—a group linked to Hamas apologists—were conveniently omitted.
Instead, the program lent credence to claims of “genocide” and baselessly suggested that American military aid to Israel is fueling war crimes.
What “60 Minutes” failed to report is equally egregious.
The show ignored Hamas’s use of civilian areas for military operations, its rejection of multiple ceasefire offers, and its horrific crimes, including the October 7 massacre of Israeli civilians and ongoing hostage-taking.
These omissions are not merely negligent—they fuel antisemitic violence globally.
This is not the first time CBS has displayed anti-Israel bias, but the stakes are higher than ever.
In a time of rising antisemitism, such irresponsible reporting undermines Israel’s right to self-defense and threatens Jewish communities worldwide.
We must demand better from CBS. Join us in holding “60 Minutes” accountable for its biased reporting.

Dear CBS 60 Minutes Team,
I am appalled by your recent segment on Israel’s war against Hamas.
By platforming anti-Israel activists without full disclosure of their biases and omitting critical context, you have failed your viewers and compromised journalistic integrity.
This reckless reporting fuels antisemitism and distorts the truth about a conflict initiated by Hamas’s atrocities.
I urge CBS to provide balanced, factual coverage that respects journalistic standards and holds all parties accountable, including Hamas.
Sincerely,
