Lynch test

For the First Amendment test sometimes described as the "Lynch test", see Endorsement test.

The Lynch test is a consistency test of journalists covering the Israeli-Arab conflict.[1][2][3] According to Nahum Barnea, winner of the Israel Prize, Israeli journalists who fail to criticize Arab terrorism fail the lynch test.[1][2][4][5] According to author Kenneth Levin, this is a "rare instance of Israeli media self-scrutiny."[6] The term came after the 2000 Ramallah lynching, in which an Arab mob beat to death two Israeli reservists who had mistakenly entered Ramallah.[1][2][7]
