The week a landmark 300-page report on Hamas's systematic sexual violence against women and children was released, a New York Times opinion piece hijacked the global conversation. Jerusalem Report editor-in-chief Ruth Marks Eglash breaks down what happened, and what it reveals about modern journalism. The Civil Commission's report on October 7 crimes documented not only sexual violence as a deliberate tool of war, but the torture of family members as a mechanism of psychological terror. Yet within hours, the discourse had shifted, deflected by a competing narrative and the media's reflexive return to Israel-Palestine "both sides" framing. As Marks Eglash argues, this isn't accidental: it's a structural failure of how journalism handles asymmetric atrocity. The question she puts on the table: "Is journalism dead?" — is less provocative than it sounds. As editor-in-chief of the Jerusalem Report, Marks Eglash brings decades of experience navigating how Israeli and Middle Eastern stories are framed, distorted, and consumed by international audiences. This conversation is essential viewing for anyone trying to understand not just what happened on October 7, but why it remains so difficult to report honestly.
