"Public perception of the Arab-Israeli conflict is shaped by competing narratives. The Arabist narrative dismisses the compelling story of Jews as an indigenous people returning to their homeland, instead casting Israel as a foreign implant occupying Arab land. It employs the terminology of Western imperialism in order to reverse the historical roles of aggressor and victim. Vivid examples of the Arabist account frequent the opinion columns and editorials of the Financial Times of London. Examinations by media monitoring groups CAMERA and Just Journalism revealed its commentary pieces to be heavily weighted against Israel. The paper's bias also seeps into its news coverage. An April 12, 2010 analysis piece about current tensions between the United States and Israel by correspondents Tobias Buck and Daniel Dombey provides an instructive example."
