Philippe Karsenty is a French journalist and media critic. After a brief foray into French politics in 2002, he founded Media Ratings, a media rating agency which "has paid particular attention to the failure of the French media to document the rise of militant Islam in France."[1]
Karsenty has received grants from the Middle East Forum's educational grant vehicle.
the Al-Dura hoax affair
In 2004, Karsenty claimed that a photographer staged footage shown by France 2 of the death of 12-year-old Palestinian Mohammed al-Dura at the hands of the Israeli Defence Forces in 2000.[2] The video was circulated throughout the world, and could be seen as a trigger for the Second Intifada.[3]
He was sued for libel by the French television network. France 2 won its case in October 2006,[3] but the judgment was overturned during an appeal in May 2008, when France 2 refusing to release the full footage taken by their stringer on that day.[3] France 2 appealed the decision [4] and in June 2013, the Paris Court of Appeals once again convicted Karsenty of defamation, claiming that he falsely accused the network’s Jerusalem bureau chief, Charles Enderlin, of fabricating parts of the segment, and fined him €7000. Karsety called the verdict "outrageous". [5]
2012 Elections
He stood as a dissident right-wing candidate, against the candidate endorsed by the UMP, in the Eighth constituency for French residents overseas (mostly French residents in Israel, but also in Italy, Turkey, Greece and several other countries) for the 2012 legislative election.[6] He lost, and in February 2013, the Constitutional Council found irregularities in the funding of his electoral campaign, thus barring him from standing for public office for a period of one year.
