==The example of Haaretz lies re Ethiopian Jews==
Haaretz was forced to issue corrections regarding its reporting on Ethiopian Jews in the past, specifically following pressure from media watchdog groups regarding inaccurate claims.
Forced Contraception Claims (2013): Haaretz was part of a cohort of media outlets that reported on allegations that Ethiopian women were being forced to take birth control injections.
Haaretz issued a delayed correction to a 2013 report, only after forced to,<ref>{{cite news |last=Chandler |first=Adam |title=‘Haaretz’ Corrects Forced-Contraception Story |url=https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/haaretz-corrects-forced-contraception-story |work=Tablet Magazine |date=March 8, 2013 |access-date=March 15, 2026}}</ref> clarifying there was no evidence of a forced-contraception policy on Ethiopian immigrants, as previously alleged.

Sigd Celebration Caption (2020): In November 2020, CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis) prompted a correction to a Haaretz photo caption that falsely depicted Ethiopian Jews violating COVID-19 regulations. The picture, which showed a packed crowd, was actually from 2018, not 2020. <ref>{{cite web |last=Preuss |first=Gilead |title=Haaretz Corrects False Depiction of Ethiopian Jews Violating Coronavirus Regulations |url=https://www.camera.org/article/haaretz-corrects-falsely-depiction-of-ethiopian-jews-violating-coronavirus-regulations |website=CAMERA |date=November 18, 2020 |access-date=March 15, 2026}}</ref>
